International football star Hakan Çalhanoğlu and his wife Sinem are turning gameplay into real-world reforestation. In partnership with the Web3 app My Lovely Planet, the couple launched the Çalhanoğlu Forest in Kuşadası, Turkey—an area scarred by wildfires. With 10,000 saplings already planned and millions of fans invited to join through gaming, the project blends sport, tech, and ecology into a new model of climate action.

Climate Week exists to turn targets into timelines and timelines into budgets. If the EU wants to model leadership, the path is straightforward: restore a strong Green Claims law with independent verification; close loopholes in supply-chain due diligence instead of widening them; protect the integrity of the anti-deforestation regime; and lock in a science-based 2040 goal that keeps 1.5°C within reach. 

Al Gore warned in An Inconvenient Truth: “We are witnessing a collision between our civilization and the Earth.” That collision is fueled not just...

Climate Week isn’t just for CEOs and policymakers. It’s a chance for anyone to plug in, whether you’re attending an official showcase or just biking to work with a few friends. Fun and climate action aren’t opposites — they feed each other. And when you connect with community, food, music, or nature, you realize: this is what the future can look like.

At the start of August, wildfires exploded across the Mediterranean basin, fueled by a wicked trio of extreme heat, drought and wind. In southern...

This is important because deserts and drylands are spreading around the world as the climate changes. Rainfall in these places is also becoming more unpredictable, so wet-dry cycles may happen more often. That could mean more greenhouse gases being released into the air than scientists had thought.

Cloud seeding, like artificial reef construction or large-scale afforestation projects, often enjoys positive framing in official narratives and promotional campaigns. But without independent, peer-reviewed assessment, such projects can leave the public reliant on institutional claims. This information gap can breed suspicion, especially when interventions coincide with extreme or unexpected events.

On a dry, windy afternoon in late April 2025, the hills west of Jerusalem ignited and burst into an inferno. Flames, fed by the...

On August 5th, 2025, environmental experts from Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories descended upon the University of Leeds for a three-day event centered...

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....
