Few industries bear witness to climate change more closely than the wine world.
I was born in Napa Valley and moved to Burgundy after graduating from UC Davis in 2001. Together with my husband, Jeremy Seysses, his brother Alec, and our viticulture team, we craft the wines of Domaine Dujac, founded by my father-in-law, Jacques Seysses, in 1968. I juggle this responsibility with my role as winemaker for my family’s Snowden Vineyards in Napa, where I have spent the last 20 years bringing the philosophy of
terroir back to the land purchased by my grandparents in the Vaca Mountains in 1955.
Last year the Napa Valley was on fire again. Then in April, Burgundy and all of France endured a catastrophic frost which has been declared a natural agricultural disaster. As an enologist and as a land steward in these two beautiful and historic wine regions, I have recognized that there is no issue more important to our world and industry than that of climate change.

Less ‘magic bullet’, more ‘magic bean’ for sustainable flight, says UK-based data analytics firm, GlobalData
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been posited as the latest technology to support the growing demand for sustainable flight, with the ongoing development of the Direct Air Capture project, jointly led by UK and Canadian companies Storegga and Carbon Engineering, respectively.
CCS involves the capture CO2 before it enters the atmosphere, typically at large source points such as power stations or heavy industry including steel plants. This is then stored either in rock formations to significantly slow its release into the atmosphere or, most recently, the captured CO2 can be transformed into liquid fuels, creating a less harmful circular economy.
