A new report released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) "Ten Facts about Land Systems for Sustainability" is a study intended to inform policies aimed at addressing challenges like how to limit the impacts of climate change, designing systems for sustainable food and energy production, protecting biodiversity, and balancing competing claims to land ownership.

A new study shows how U.S. climate policies can be designed to cut carbon emissions without increasing economic inequality, reducing the GDP, or impeding economic growth. The work was led by the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change.

In a last hurrah for the 2014 – 2020 research programme Horizon 2020, the European Commission has announced how it will spend €1 billion on projects advancing the objectives of the EU Green Deal, in a show of climate ambitions ahead of the COP26 meeting in Glasgow next week. A total of 73 projects will tackle issues such as climate adaptation, clean energy, circular economy, sustainable mobility, food system improvements and biodiversity.

Grounds for concern April 8, 2021 Sunlight is the greatest life-giving force on our planet. It is also a potential source of more clean energy that we can ever use. The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the Earth is estimated to be a staggering 3.4 million exajoules (EJ) a year. To give you some idea of how much this is, a single EJ is one quintillion (one million trillion) joules (the T hoku earthquake and tsunami measured in at 0.175EJ). The sun’s rays bathing the Earth in a ...
