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.

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.

For those with pre-existing conditions, cardiovascular diseases can be exacerbated after inhalation exposure to this smoke. That could mean symptoms such as elevated blood pressure and chest pain.

The EU’s emphasis on initiatives like the harmonization of labeling over pressing climate issues can appear tone-deaf in the current context. Prioritizing these debates while Europe endures deadly climate-induced events sends a confused message to the world.

A tree lab at MIT can predict using AI how trees can green a city, or how they will grow in time better serving city planners green plans.

If Yemenis learn to build water collection pools they can farm year round and change the consequences of drought.
