This August, Israel is facing one of the most punishing heat waves in recent history-exactly the kind of event that climate scientists have warned...

Wastewater treatment plants are a hidden source of greenhouse gas emissions, releasing methane, nitrous oxide, and fossil CO₂. A new study calls for smarter monitoring and tailored emission factors. U.S. firms like Jacobs, AECOM, and Black & Veatch are key players in building climate-resilient wastewater infrastructure.

The strikes on Iran have sparked fierce debate, but from Israel’s perspective, the choice was easy: either accept the risks of a nuclear Iran or act decisively to stop it.

What's that sinking feeling? In Iran, the very ground under your feet may drop away. The issue here isn’t war. The issue is land subsidence, a...

When Dame Alison Rose assumed leadership of NatWest Group in 2019, she recognised that climate change represented not just an environmental challenge but "probably the biggest existential threat that we will face as a society." Her response was to position the bank at the forefront of sustainable finance, implementing what she describes as "a very clear strategy on climate" that would fundamentally reshape how NatWest operates and lends.

Mars, the dusty red planet that once held our wildest dreams of alien life, is revealing its past—and perhaps a glimpse of Earth’s future....

Make Sunsets, a geoengineering startup based in South Dakota, continues to attract both controversy and attention as it pushes ahead with its mission to "Make Earth Cool Again"—literally. T

Critics argue that Make Sunsets bypassed essential scientific protocols, including public engagement and independent impact assessments, raising concerns about the ethical implications of manipulating the climate without comprehensive oversight. ​

Chances are you already have central AC and heat. Although your equipment may be of the high-efficiency variety, you can lower your energy use even more. By moving away from conventional HVAC systems, you can only use the energy you need at the moment.

Tel Aviv has started giving away free fruit trees in a bid to re-wild its city and make it greener. They are calling it an urban food forest. Researchers from Berlin come up with a blueprint on how to green and re-wild your city. You could use this with new greening AI research from MIT to make your city remarkably green.

People are afraid of the cow supplement Bovaer added to animal feed and used in milk supplied to large chains like Aldi. Bovaer is touted to reduce cow farts in animals, and make rumination more efficient thus generating less methane gas. But people don'e want Bovaer in their milk and have been dumping it in response. Could there be a better way? By breeding the cows with more productive microbiomes? This is the question of a research team.

The previous COP16 gathering notably collapsed without a deal on nature restoration financing in developing countries, creating ongoing tensions between Global North and South governments.

Hosted at the Osaka International Convention Centre by Japan’s Ministry of Environment, this high-stakes gathering brings together a diverse array of climate scientists, urban planners, policymakers, and sustainability experts. These Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors, handpicked by IPCC’s three Working Groups, will be the driving force behind a pivotal report designed to shape the future of climate-resilient urban development.

Beyond farm-level tools, the research team has harnessed artificial intelligence to develop a user-friendly, web-based platform – referred to as a 'digital twin' – to provide detailed insights into how different types of land use affect methane emissions across the UK.

China has become the world's leading producer of solar energy. This desert plant will power all of Beijing.
