Urban honeybee keeping, once seen as a helpful way to support pollinators, is now raising concerns among scientists. Research from Concordia University shows that the number of honeybee colonies in Montreal exploded from fewer than 250 in 2013 to almost 3,000 by 2020. This surge has been linked to a sharp decline in wild bee […]

A pioneering green hydrogen facility has been launched in Porsgrunn, Norway, by Yara International in partnership with Linde Engineering. This 24-megawatt plant uses advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis to generate around 10,000 kilograms of green hydrogen daily. The hydrogen is then converted into 20,500 metric tons of ammonia each year, which is further processed

The Green Climate Fund (GCF), the world’s biggest dedicated climate financing institution, has announced a record-setting investment of $1.2 billion for 17 new climate projects across Asia and Africa. Unveiled on July 4, 2025, the funding includes $227 million to help build green bond markets in 10 countries, $200 million to expand renewable energy efforts

A new study from the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) finds that Germany could meet about one-third of its climate goals simply by ending fossil fuel subsidies—without introducing new carbon pricing policies. In 2023, Germany spent approximately €41 billion on subsidies for oil, gas, and coal, the highest amount among all EU countries. Removing

Kazakhstan has announced plans to donate 1,500 wild saiga antelopes to China, helping reintroduce the species to parts of western China where they’ve been extinct for over 75 years. The announcement was made by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in June 2025 and reflects a major conservation partnership between the two countries. Saiga populations in Kazakhstan

Poland has crossed a major clean energy milestone, with renewables generating more electricity than coal for the first time in June 2025. Renewable sources like solar and wind contributed 44.1% of the country’s electricity, slightly ahead of coal at 43.7%. This marks a dramatic shift from the previous year when coal still dominated at 56%.

Repurposed shipping containers are rapidly becoming a popular choice for modern business spaces, offering a fast, affordable, and versatile alternative to traditional construction. Thanks to their modular structure, these steel containers can be quickly converted into offices, pop-up shops, or studios in a fraction of the time—often within weeks—compared to conventional builds. The cost savings

Across the U.S., the right-to-repair movement is gaining traction, changing the way Americans think about fixing their electronics, appliances, and even farm equipment. Driven partly by rising costs—exacerbated by tariffs on imported goods—and growing concerns over e-waste, consumers and advocates are pushing for laws that require manufacturers to make repair parts, tools, and manuals accessible.

The Maldives is building a first-of-its-kind floating city designed to adapt to rising sea levels, using brain coral as its design inspiration. Located just 10 minutes by boat from the capital Malé, the 200-hectare city is being developed through a partnership between Dutch Docklands, the Maldivian government, and Waterstudio.nl. The city’s modular structure mimics the

In February 2025, scientists at the University of California, Riverside introduced a game-changing device called the Electronic Bee-Veterinarian (EBV) — a smart, affordable sensor system designed to monitor the health of honeybee colonies in real time. These tiny sensors track temperature fluctuations inside the hive, which are key indicators of bee health and stress. The
