Climate — Global
Climate change dominates global attention, but the destruction of nature is quietly setting up its own economic shockwave. With COP30 spotlighting the rising economic costs of nature loss, the case for treating it as an urgent financial and development priority has never been clearer

With global attention fixed on accelerating the energy transition, a key question remains: how should we plan and develop grid infrastructure to keep pace with the transformation of our energy system?
Food systems and sustainable agriculture
As climate shocks multiply and conflicts strain supply chains, the world’s food systems are showing dangerous cracks. Building resilience – from farm diversity to fairer trade – must be at the heart of climate action at COP30
A new era of Earth observation (EO) – satellite-based monitoring of the planet – is transforming how we measure and manage environmental risk. But as the view from space grows sharper, so too does the imperative to turn intelligence into action
Climate — Global
Historically, natural disasters have taken a far heavier toll in poorer nations than in richer ones. Can advances in artificial intelligence help close that gap – providing earlier warnings and faster, more effective responses?

Coastal ecosystems play a vital role in stabilizing the climate, yet global policy still values them mainly for their ability to absorb and store carbon. As COP30 unfolds, a new approach argues for recognizing the ocean as a living system – where carbon, biodiversity, and human welfare are inseparable

Rising temperatures are inflaming old tensions and creating new fault lines in fragile states. Only integrated, locally led action can build the resilience needed for lasting peace

Renewable energy is surging, costs are falling, and investment is booming. Yet questions remain over whether this momentum marks an irreversible turning point – and how quickly fossil fuels can follow suit
Climate — Global
Global instability and rising emissions threaten to derail progress just as the world reaches the critical 1.5°C threshold. COP30 in Brazil offers a chance to turn ambition into action – but only if multilateralism can overcome today’s fractured geopolitics
