Like many Americans, I worry about the state of the planet and try to make a positive impact through decisions in my day-to-day life.

The Energy Technologies Institute recently reported that without carbon capture and storage (CCS), the cost of reaching the UK’s climate change targets will double from around £30 billion per year in 2050. So how does it work?

A new report from the International Energy Agency released Friday claims that wind power could be a $1 trillion business by 2040 and that the power provided by the green technology has the potential to outstrip global energy needs. 

In a speech to the National Press Club, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull declared that the key requirements for Australia’s electricity system are that it should be affordable, reliable, and able to help meet national emissions-reduction targets.

A walk into the future, in a British city where housing is sustainable, energy is locally owned, food is abundant, and the work week is just three days long.

Materialism may influence us to choose “green buying” rather than not buying anything at all, research finds.

Countries across the globe are trying to wind down coal production. While this will help in the battle against climate change, those communities that have specialised in coal mining may see their local job market decline or be eliminated entirely.

A closer look at one of the most familiar responses offered to the climate crisis.

Not all carbon is created equal. Writer Jackson Carpenter argues that the power to stop climate change rests on recognizing different kinds of carbon – a shift in perspective that allows us to change

Rooftops covered with grass, vegetable gardens and lush foliage are now a common sight in many cities around the world.

Humanity’s existential crisis can be resolved only when we the people stand united behind a vision of the world we truly want.

Researchers working in the field of climate change communications have, for many years, been confronted with the same puzzle

Building a new world will require first reexamining—and dismantling—the cultural ethos of productivity that creeps into our lives every day.

Seaweed is a lot more than marine debris you find on the beach. It may play a big role in the effort to mitigate climate change, researchers say.

The main solution to climate change is well known – stop burning fossil fuels.

About a quarter of all the greenhouse gas emissions that humans generate each year come from how we feed the world.

The IPCC special report, Climate Change and Land, released last night, has found a third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the “land”: largely farming, food production, land clearing and deforestation.
