The perfect storm: how climate change and malaria converge
Climate — Global, Sub-Saharan Africa
Climate change is extending the reach of malaria. Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) is working with partners in malaria-endemic countries to adapt, anticipate, prevent, and treat the disease

Wrestling with hypernumbers
Climate — Global
The promise of trillion-dollar sustainable finance initiatives rests on a triple fallacy: that we can make sense of them, that they are a measure of money that is available to finance or support climate-related causes, and that someone has structured and organized control over these amounts. It’s time to accept their extremely limited utility and move on

Planning for an orderly exit from fossil fuels
Climate — Global
As energy systems decarbonize, ensuring a smooth transition to renewables will be critical for the economies and workers that currently depend on fossil-fuel-based generation. How can we move quickly while leaving no one behind?

The snowball effect of supplier engagement: cutting emissions through science-based targets
Climate — Global
Scope 3 emissions, those outside an organization’s direct control, are proving the most stubborn to reduce. Key to success is more companies working with their suppliers to adopt science-based targets throughout the whole value chain

Land: from degradation to restoration
Climate — Global
Is it possible to hold back, or reverse, large-scale degradation of land and tackle climate change?

What role can carbon markets play in preserving forests?
Climate — Global
Evidence is mounting that forest carbon offset credits are not working. Can a new approach, based on countries and companies making wider contributions to climate action beyond offsetting emissions, save the world’s forests?

Every watt we save brings us closer to net zero
Climate — Global
Improvements in energy efficiency are a critical component in our quest to reach net zero by 2050. While rapid technological advances suggest the transformation is possible, we must also direct efforts to overcome the many challenges – from financial to behavioral – that remain
