A new roadmap reveals Africa's grasslands and savannas could become one of the world's biggest climate solutions through better livestock grazing and fire management. The approach could capture roughly a fifth of current global annual emissions while strengthening food security for millions.
Dutch researchers have identified a bold new option that could help prevent climate catastrophe. A dam across the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska might stabilize the ocean currents that regulate weather across multiple continents.
The Pacific nation of Tuvalu is building seven hectares of elevated land designed to stay above water through 2100 and beyond. Working with the UN, the innovative coastal adaptation project offers a blueprint for island nations facing similar threats.
Scientists studying cow methane emissions can't compare their results because everyone uses different measurement tools. C-Lock Inc. is creating the first universal framework to make livestock climate research actually work together.
China's massive tree-planting project has nearly tripled forest cover across its northern deserts, reducing dust storms and soil erosion while offering lessons for similar efforts worldwide. The 72-year initiative now spans 40% of the country and is showing real results.
Underwater gardens are making a comeback in San Diego's Mission Bay as restoration efforts bring back eelgrass meadows that capture carbon and rebuild marine habitats. This nature-based climate solution is giving ocean life a fighting chance while helping coastal communities battle rising seas.
Researchers in California are using cutting-edge genetic tools to identify and grow plants that can withstand extreme heat, drought, and changing ocean conditions. This new approach called conservation genomics could help save critical ecosystems before they disappear.
Two popular plant-based products just earned official recognition as climate solutions, cutting emissions by over 50% compared to beef. The certification opens the door for more sustainable food choices to gain mainstream momentum.
A conservation scientist who survived New Mexico's largest wildfire has published a book proving that climate solutions work best when communities lead them. Charles Curtin spent decades learning from ranchers, fishermen, and Indigenous groups to write a roadmap for regenerative thinking.
Cities worldwide are proving climate action works with 11 solutions that are already cutting emissions and improving lives. A new report from engineering firm Arup and The Earthshot Prize shows what happens when local leaders take bold action.
A Mumbai design initiative is proving climate solutions don't always look like typical environmental projects. Godrej Design Lab's Conscious Collective brought together designers during Mumbai Climate Week to rethink materials, data, and waste for a changing planet.
Scientists found over 300 types of fungi beneath a single ancient cypress in Chile, more than double any tree they've studied. This hidden partnership could be a game-changer for protecting forests and fighting climate change.
A Finnish startup just solved one of climate change's toughest problems by storing renewable energy in ordinary sand and converting it into fossil-free industrial heat. The breakthrough could cut factory emissions by 90 percent while slashing energy costs.
