North America’s 2021 extreme heat event should compel governments to scale innovations from leading cities and countries to advance resilient, restorative and renewable cities.
New research finds nature restoration only marginally lowers global warming. This pours cold water on the idea of using carbon offsets to solve the climate crisis.
‘Green water’ is essential for healthy soils and a benign climate, but it’s under threat.
Fruit bats have the potential to reforest areas where trees had been lost in parts of Africa.
These crucial ecosystems are being battered by lots of different threats that are combining to make the matter worse.
