Green-sky science aims to bring us closer to net-zero aviation
The race is on to scale down the cost of sustainable aviation fuel production technologies and scale up production capacity.
Does responsible climate leadership include research into solar geoengineering?
Very little is known about the effects of solar geoengineering interventions, and many researchers agree that research as well as deployment should be carefully governed.
Climate change and the city
With increasing rates of urbanization and its detrimental effects on the environment, reducing the risk posed by “urban climate change” requires more research to prepare ourselves for an uncertain future.
