Climate change is intensifying, but so is the international response. This Nature Spotlight unpacks the science and strategies driving accountability and innovation: from climate modelling tools shaping courtroom debates, to the unseen impact of plastic on the carbon cycle, and the products and services steering the world towards a greener future.
From AI-powered bee monitors to genetically modified yeasts that make protein, here are some solutions that are set to revolutionize the future of food.
Carbon emissions from plastics production are no surprise. But when plastic turns to dust, it also affects how the planet absorbs carbon from the air, on land and in the oceans.
An ambitious research programme in northwestern pacific is striving to understand the many facets of the ocean — and the ways they are responding to human impacts — like never before.
Making the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity a priority is a better way to address climate change than so-called ‘carbon-first’ approaches, say researchers.
At the Institute of Energy and the Environment, researchers break down boundaries to address urgent challenges through collective curiosity and collaboration.
