Google has announced a new wave of investments in carbon capture power plants, signaling its intent to scale technologies that could help achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. Partnering with firms like Heirloom Carbon Technologies and Carbon Capture Inc., the company aims to remove at least 5 million tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere over the […]

In a major conservation victory, Indigenous guardians in Ecuador’s Amazon have successfully prevented new oil and mining operations from entering their ancestral forests. Led by communities such as the Waorani, Kichwa, and Sapara nations, these Indigenous groups monitor and patrol millions of hectares of rainforest—home to over 10% of the world’s known species. Their efforts

India is undergoing one of the world’s fastest clean energy transformations, driven by an ambitious push toward solar power. As of 2025, the country has installed over 82 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity—up from just 2.6 GW in 2014—making it the fifth-largest solar market globally. Massive projects such as the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan,

The world’s largest mangrove delta, the Sundarbans, is under increasing environmental and human pressure, according to several recent studies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the site’s conservation outlook from “Good with Some Concerns” to “Significant Concerns,” citing rising sea levels, salinity intrusion, and disease outbreaks among mangroves. Over the past three

Despite pledges to halt deforestation by 2030, the 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment reveals a troubling paradox: while the rate of deforestation has slowed in some regions, global forest loss still exceeds restoration gains. The report finds that 6.1 million hectares of forest were destroyed in 2024, largely in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and

Florida’s coral reefs, once vibrant ecosystems teeming with marine life, are now facing a devastating collapse. Scientists have confirmed that several iconic coral species, including elkhorn and staghorn corals, are functionally extinct in parts of the Florida Keys after experiencing the hottest ocean temperatures ever recorded in 2024, exceeding 32°C (90°F) for weeks. The extreme

South Korea has announced that beginning in 2027, all international flights departing from its airports must use jet fuel blended with at least 1 % sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The policy, part of the nation’s “SAF Expansion Strategy,” was introduced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport alongside the Ministry of Trade, Industry and

Along China’s storm-prone southern shores, a new generation of offshore wind farms is redefining resilience in renewable energy. In Guangdong province, massive turbines built across the South China Sea are specially engineered to withstand the powerful typhoons that regularly batter the region. Designed to resist sustained winds of nearly 200 km/h and gusts approaching 290

This week, a fascinating study from Lancaster University, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and the University of Reading reveals that well-managed solar farms could do more than generate clean energy — they could revive declining bumblebee populations. By replacing standard grass with wildflower meadows, some solar farms saw bumblebee numbers soar by up
