Tech-based Solutions Trilogy
It becomes increasingly clear that reducing emissions will not be enough to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. As per IPCC estimates, we also need to remove around 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air every year by 2050 if we want to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. This is […]
Tech-based Solutions Trilogy
As global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to rise, it’s becoming clear that we need an increased focus on tackling the emissions of tomorrow through complementary Technology-based Solutions (TBS). To meet climate goals set forth by the Paris Agreement, we must first reduce emissions. One contested solution that is gaining traction, specifically for reducing unavoidable […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
As the global push to fight climate change gains momentum, the demand for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries is growing. With limited options available for sectors where electrification is not feasible, green hydrogen is seen as a potential solution for a lower carbon future. To better comprehend the potential of green hydrogen in these challenging industries, we […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
The transport sector is one of the biggest carbon emitters worldwide. As the world tries to shift away from fossil fuels, green hydrogen is being touted as one key solution. Recently, many countries have adopted legislative proposals to decarbonize the transport sector by facilitating the uptake of green hydrogen. But does green hydrogen have the […]
Green Hydrogen Trilogy
At the recent COP27, green hydrogen was at the top of the agenda with various governments announcing ambitious new multi-million dollar plans to build plants, collaborate and invest in developing a global market. As global leaders search for the right building blocks to lead us away from climate-impacting fossil fuel consumption to more sustainable alternatives, […]

Climate Tipping Point Series
Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, yet sustain 25% of marine biodiversity and directly provide support to over 500 million people worldwide. Coral reefs, among several other coastal ecosystems, represent one of the most crucial ways oceans contribute to climate change adaptation. However, they are susceptible to reaching a tipping point, […]

The early microfinance revolution dramatically improved global access to financial services, especially credit. People previously excluded from formal credit systems were given opportunities through microfinance institutions, receiving small loans that allowed them to start businesses and attempt to increase financial security. Yet, decades later, the issue of credit access persists, as only about 1 in […]

The fight against climate change will be won or lost in Asia. And Asia is experiencing a rate of warming exceeding the global average. Between 1991 and 2022, its warming trend was nearly twice as high as the trend observed between 1961 and 1990. Moreover, Asia is the most disaster-prone region globally. The climate risk […]
