As the Earth warms due to human-caused climate change, billions of people in the developing world will face life-threatening heat waves, raising the demand for air conditioning. But powering all of that cooling is going to take more...

The key to revolutionizing the world's energy landscape may lie in an unlikely love story, says energy innovator Olivia Breese. She details the fateful marriage of a green electron and a water molecule -- a powerful source of...

The future of wind energy is solarpunk. At least according to some manufacturers who want to put wind turbines on kites, blimps, or just generally up in the air where wind can generate green energy and fight climate change more efficiently.

Alternative energy is great, but our infrastructure isn't exactly equipped to handle it. So scientists are coming up with other ways to use it, including turning it into food.

What was the greatest invention of the industrial revolution? Hans Rosling makes the case for the washing machine. With newly designed graphics from Gapminder, Rosling shows us the magic that pops up when economic growth and electricity...

Despite the rise of renewable energy, the backbone of the power grid is fossil fuels. Adapting the grid to green energy sources is more complicated than flipping a switch.

Huge container ships relying on fossil fuels transport all kinds of goods across the ocean, creating a huge climate change impact. But there's a better way to power this transport using, of all things, water.

Africa’s Sahara desert is a prime location, some say, to build arrays of solar panels and wind turbines. But scientists are aware that building these structures can potentially have large-scale effects on the surrounding environment that...

Whether it's energy, food or insurance, how much more you'll pay in the future depends a lot on where you live. But because of climate change, virtually no one will get away scot-free. The global economy is remarkably versatile and...

Nuclear power may not be as bad as you think. If we used Thorium instead of Uranium, we could greatly decrease dangerous radioactive by-products. There is enough Thorium in the world to meet all our energy needs...

Science Kids Arctic Tundra Biome V1-0005

The video highlights the impact of climate change on the Arctic tundra, emphasizing how a longer summer disrupts the food chain, affects wildlife, and leads to environmental challenges. It...

Labour's net zero plan to counter Tory mini-budget ahead of party conference

Climate scientists are clear that we need to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And in order to do this, we’re going to need to electrify everything and green the grid. But what will this clean, green future look like? Can we pull...

Learn how the Basalt Forest cabins in Manzat, France, embody sustainability in construction and daily operations. Using green energy and local materials, these cabins feature innovative heating systems and water conservation methods....

The sustainable finance sector saw global investment in ESG funds surpass $35tn in 2020. But as investment has risen, so have concerns about greenwashing, where funds’ ESG credentials are exaggerated. In an industry awash with ESG...

FT Moral Money - ESG investment has taken the financial and corporate world by storm, but an ESG backlash is now gathering steam. The FT’s Gillian Tett explains that while much of this criticism has come from the American right, it’s not...

FT Rethink - Heavy industries must decarbonise dramatically to reach net zero. Replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen, created with renewable energy, is one way to reduce emissions. Examples of green hydrogen being used in various...

FT Rethink - It will be a long-haul journey, requiring a blend of investment and legislation to get greener fuel off the ground, reports the FT's Myles McCormick. But the airline has conducted the first ever commercial flight, with 100...

Even if you don't live in a flood zone or tornado alley, climate change will still hit your pocketbook!

This video shows how to build your own wind turbine using household materials and how you can use it for a science project. Written instructions, including a complete materials list, are available on the Science Buddies
