The air we breathe: Fighting for clean air and better global health

With air pollution causing 7 million premature deaths annually, what is being done to protect the global population from the lack of clean air?

Ice sheet models: Tracking climate change through glacier movement

A new equation has revealed that twice the amount of predicted subglacial waters might be draining into the ocean, causing sea level rises and ecological damage.

10 small projects to save the planet using environmental satellite data 

A series of groundbreaking projects, funded by the UK Space Agency, harness environmental satellite data to address issues like water pollution, carbon emissions, and biodiversity threats.

Decarbonising industrial heat through exciting new technologies

Decarbonising industrial heat is crucial. Annually, industries contribute 29% to global GHG emissions, setting their role as major carbon emitters.

Awareness of climate change inequities persists among U.S.

Many Americans fail to grasp the impact of climate change inequalities, with over a third believing it affects all groups equally, hindering efforts towards climate justice.

The public sector cannot underestimate computing’s environmental impact

With heat waves gripping 3 continents and global temperatures reaching record highs this summer, perhaps we need to pay closer attention to 'the cloud' and computing's environmental impact.

Largest cruise ship on Earth to embark in early 2024

In early 2024, Royal Caribbean International is set to introduce the world's largest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas, an astounding 365-meter-long vessel that dwarfs even the Titanic.

Ocean skin’s role in ocean carbon uptake revealed

A study has found that the ocean skin, a thin upper ocean layer, significantly impacts ocean carbon uptake, affecting the global ocean carbon sink.

Research method reveals health impacts of heat and air quality

Researchers from the University of Waterloo and Toronto Metropolitan University analyse heat and air quality effects on health to guide climate adaptation measures.

“Even if we stop burning fossil fuels today, temperatures will not go down”, report says

July 2023 has seen extreme heat events sweeping North America, Europe and China. Researchers point to the need for ending burning fossil fuels and heat action plans across affected cities.

Ongoing blaze from Greece wildfires forces massive Rhodes evacuation

Terrifying Greece wildfires continue to ravage the island of Rhodes, forcing thousands of tourists to flee, while suspicions of arson and the heatwave add to the crisis.

New negative emission technology in direct ocean carbon capture

Despite the ocean undertaking some of the largest climate change impacts, it also plays a part of the solution to reversing it. Researchers look to membrane contactors in direct ocean carbon capture.

Flipping the grill: Behavioural change tactics for the plant-based meat market

Research finds that plant-based meat consumption is reducing across the UK, despite a greater uptake of other environmentally friendly practices. How do we drive commercial growth again?
