Wildlife recovery, renewable energy milestones, conservation successes, and innovative climate solutions from around the world.
The world just added enough clean energy to power entire continents, with renewable power growing faster than ever before. Even better, over 85% of new renewable projects now cost less than fossil fuels.
Britain nearly doubled its renewable energy approvals in 2025, greenlighting enough battery, wind, and solar projects to power millions of homes. The country is now racing to upgrade its electricity grid to match this historic clean energy boom.
Communities across Tanzania are transforming seasonal rainfall into a lifeline for dry months through simple rainwater harvesting systems. With proper collection and storage, families can reduce costs, ease pressure on water supplies, and build climate resilience one rooftop at a time.
South Africa's energy future took a step forward as environmental experts recommended the best location for a massive 5,200-megawatt nuclear power plant. The Eastern Cape site already has crucial infrastructure in place, potentially speeding up the timeline for cleaner, more reliable electricity.
The United Arab Emirates is transforming energy independence with microgrids that let buildings generate their own solar power and stay lit during emergencies. A pilot project in Sharjah proved the technology works, achieving 30% solar energy and zero blackouts.
New research shows some economies are growing without draining more water resources, offering a blueprint for sustainable development. Scientists identify promising pathways that could help the world break free from the old pattern of economic growth requiring more water consumption.
After surviving cervical cancer through expensive treatment abroad, Irakoze Gratia celebrates as Burundi launches free HPV vaccines for girls. The preventable disease kills over 1,000 Burundian women each year.
A scientist who fell in love with night monkeys as a 10-year-old just redrew the conservation map for Colombia's only nocturnal primates. His discovery could reshape how we protect five monkey species losing ground to development.
Scientists in Panama discovered a rare hot-pink katydid that transforms from bright pink to green over two weeks, possibly mimicking the color-changing leaves around it. The remarkable find could reveal a new camouflage strategy in the insect world.
