This archive collects more than 1,500 solutions-journalism stories tracking real progress on the climate crisis — from renewable energy records and emissions reductions to policy wins and community-led adaptation. The focus is on what’s working, who’s making it happen, and what the evidence shows about the path forward.
University of Adelaide researchers claim to have made clean hydrogen fuel from seawater without pre-treatment. Their findings could eventually provide cheaper green energy production from a near-limitless source to coastal areas.
The funds will be used for the installation of more EV chargers, zero-emission trucks, school and transit buses, and hydrogen refueling technology.
The total number of EVs sold in 2022 jumped a staggering 68% from 2021. China led the world, both in number of EVs sold and in the fraction of its vehicle sales that were fully electric.
The iron and steel industry is a major cause of greenhouse gasses, accounting for 9% of global emissions.
Alaska’s Tongass National Forest is once again off-limits to logging and new road construction, after the USDA restored protections across the 17-million-acre rainforest — a landscape slightly larger than West Virginia that holds nearly half of all carbon stored in U.S. national forests. Tribal Nations in Southeast Alaska, including the Organized Village of Kake, led the years-long push to bring the safeguards back. For communities who have hunted, fished, and lived among the 800-year-old cedars and wild salmon streams for thousands of years, it’s a hard-won recognition. The victory also points to something bigger: protecting old-growth forests at scale is one of the most affordable, ready-now climate tools we have — no new technology required, just the will to leave ancient places standing.
Last year Finland built 427 new turbines with a combined power capacity of 2,430 megawatts. By 2025, wind is projected to cover at least 28% of the country’s power consumption.
Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony, owes 140 million euros to the Portugal. Under the new agreement, Portugal will redirect debt payments owed to a fund that will help the island nation tackle climate change.
Investment in renewables, such as wind and solar, grew 17 percent last year, reaching $495 billion, while investment in electric vehicles grew a staggering 54 percent, hitting $466 billion.
Denmark’s biggest bank has declared an end to fossil fuel financing, after concluding that 99.9% of its carbon footprint comes from financed emissions.
Established in May 2021, BasiGo has now announced a partnership with Associated Vehicle Assemblers to assemble the first 1,000 electric buses in Mombasa, Kenya, over the next three years.
