Towns and cities are home to more than half of the world’s population and responsible for around 70 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the climate crisis, which is why urban planners in Brazil are leading a design revolution that could point the way to creating built-up areasContinue Reading
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, many billions of metric tons of industrially generated carbon dioxide will have to be captured and stored away by the end of this century. One place to store such an enormous amount of greenhouse gas is in the Earth itself. If carbonContinue Reading
Tribes navigating the U.S. lithium boom have little power to influence decisions on homelands seized from them. Governments in other countries have begun to build systems that offer stronger legal protections. By Johanna Hansel, Carla Samon Ros, Wyatt Myskow In the U.S., many Native American tribes maintain deep cultural andContinue Reading

Companies have staked claims for more than 100 lithium-mine projects. Tribes are among the most affected. By Johanna Hansel, Carla Samon Ros, Wyatt Myskow This investigation was reported in collaboration between Inside Climate News and Columbia Journalism Investigations.Continue Reading
Today, there are 94 nuclear reactors operating in the United States, more than in any other country in the world, and these units collectively provide nearly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity. That is a major accomplishment, according to Dean Price, but he believes that our country needs much moreContinue Reading
