The end of ‘one-and-done’ sustainability: lessons from B corp standards and Meridiam’s infrastructure
by
A structural realignment is quietly redefining global infrastructure, forcing a permanent shift from legacy, short-term profit models to a mandate of long-term accountability. Driven by rigid certification standards and escalating climate volatility, developers are no longer treating sustainability as a secondary risk-mitigation strategy, but as the core metric of operational and financial survival. (Words: Meridiam). […]

CCC: Faster electrification of UK will ‘put money back into people’s pockets’
Faster electrification is the best way to secure lower energy bills and stronger energy security, according to the Climate Change Committee (CCC). The government’s official climate advisers have stressed the importance of electrification, noting that electric cars and heat pumps can “put money back into people’s pockets”. Moreover, the UK’s net-zero targets face “significant risks” […]

Prof Detlef van Vuuren: The climate scientist most cited by the IPCC
Detlef van Vuuren is one of the world’s leading climate modellers and, as a result, a high-profile focus of his life’s work – the “RCP8.5” scenario – has recently been targeted as “wrong, wrong, wrong” by Donald Trump. Speaking to Carbon Brief at his office in the Hague, Van Vuuren cuts a serious, but relaxed figure – […]

Prof Philippe Ciais: The world’s most highly cited climate scientist
Phillipe Ciais has spent almost four decades researching the planet’s carbon cycle – and the ways in which humans have been impacting its balance. Based at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) on the outskirts of Paris, Ciais (pronounced “see-es”) has been listed as an author on more than 1,300 peer-reviewed studies. In […]

Plug-and-play hydropower system trials at Glasgow wastewater works
by
The PicoStream sits directly in a flowing channel and extracts energy from the moving water itself. It can be floated or lowered into position and connected with minimal infrastructure, says developer FFH. A novel hydropower technology is being trialled by Scottish Water at its Shieldhall Wastewater Treatment Works in Glasgow, to assess the possibilities it […]

New chip could help tiny robots traverse complex environments
by
A new chip developed by MIT researchers could help tiny, low-power UAVs avoid obstacles as they zip around tight corners inside an industrial HVAC system to check for gas leaks. The chip allows small autonomous robots and other battery-limited devices to construct detailed 3D maps of their environments in real-time using only about as much […]

Mapped: Inside Carbon Brief’s Cosmos database of 1.8 million climate studies
This is the vast “cosmos” of academic literature and evidence that underpins humanity’s knowledge of climate change. Every “star” – all 1.8m of them – represents one of the studies inside Carbon Brief’s Cosmos database. The coloured “nebulae” and “galaxies” within this cosmos illustrate where clusters of studies share similar citations and, hence, areas of common […]
