The climate crisis demands action — and action is happening. This archive tracks real progress: policy wins, clean-energy milestones, community resilience, and scientific advances that show meaningful change is possible. Stories here come from every corner of the world.
Climework’s latest facility, dubbed Orca, is designed to suck CO2 out of the air and store it away permanently underground as rocks. It will likely harvest roughly 4,000 tons of CO2 from the air every year.
Stanford University recently claimed to be the “first research university to use 100% renewable electricity.” But in fact, many universities around the world have already reached this important milestone.
The Serbian government has completely flipped on solar permitting, going from extremely difficult to unbeaten ease and convenience, promising to accelerate the uptake of renewable energy in the country,
Intesa’s exclusion covers all financial products and services, as well as advisory services, and applies to projects and companies involved in exploration, production, and pipeline transport of Amazon oil.
The world is officially rid of one particularly insidious fossil fuel that for decades was a major cause of public health problems in developing countries, especially in Africa.
Farmers are learning how to make their degraded lands productive again after joining DryDev, a project led by World Agroforestry that has been working with farmers in Kenya, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali and Niger since 2013.
The world of lab-grown meats is fast filling with all kinds of tasty bites, from burgers, to chicken breasts, to a series of increasingly complex cuts of steak.
India is now replanting its mangroves in one of the largest restoration programs in the world. Since 2010, the World Bank has supported the community-managed plantation of 20,000 hectares of mangroves in India.
Australia solar power just pulled off something historic: for a few minutes after noon on a sunny August Sunday, panels across the country generated 9,427 megawatts — edging past coal for the first time since the national electricity market began two decades ago. South Australia ran entirely on wind and sun during the window, and Victoria produced more renewable electricity than the whole state could use. Researchers credit a sweet spot of clear skies, mild temperatures, and low weekend demand, but the deeper story is a grid quietly tilting toward clean power. Brief as it was, the moment hints at what’s becoming normal — and what’s possible for energy transitions everywhere.
Stanford will become “first research university to use 100% renewable electricity” by summer 2022, even after a wildfire burned one of its solar farms.
