The air we breathe: Fighting for clean air and better global health

With air pollution causing 7 million premature deaths annually, what is being done to protect the global population from the lack of clean air?

Ice sheet models: Tracking climate change through glacier movement

A new equation has revealed that twice the amount of predicted subglacial waters might be draining into the ocean, causing sea level rises and ecological damage.

10 small projects to save the planet using environmental satellite data 

A series of groundbreaking projects, funded by the UK Space Agency, harness environmental satellite data to address issues like water pollution, carbon emissions, and biodiversity threats.

Decarbonising industrial heat through exciting new technologies

Decarbonising industrial heat is crucial. Annually, industries contribute 29% to global GHG emissions, setting their role as major carbon emitters.

Awareness of climate change inequities persists among U.S.

Many Americans fail to grasp the impact of climate change inequalities, with over a third believing it affects all groups equally, hindering efforts towards climate justice.

The public sector cannot underestimate computing’s environmental impact

With heat waves gripping 3 continents and global temperatures reaching record highs this summer, perhaps we need to pay closer attention to 'the cloud' and computing's environmental impact.

Largest cruise ship on Earth to embark in early 2024

In early 2024, Royal Caribbean International is set to introduce the world's largest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas, an astounding 365-meter-long vessel that dwarfs even the Titanic.
