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
The Indian Summer Monsoon (also known as South Asian Monsoon) delivers 70-80% of South Asia’s annual rainfall between June and September, directly supporting agriculture that still employs 44% of India’s workforce and contributes over 15% of regional GDP. This atmospheric system underpins food security for over two billion people (>25% of the world’s population) across […]
Climate Tipping Point Series
The West African Monsoon brings essential rainfall to 300 million people across the Sahel from May to October, governing precipitation patterns from the Gulf of Guinea to the southern Sahara edge. This atmospheric system determines agricultural productivity, economic stability, and food security across a region where less than 1% of farmland has irrigation. Historical evidence […]
Climate Tipping Point Series
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – a system of ocean currents – is often described as the heart of the ocean’s circulatory system, pumping warm water northward and cold water southward across the Atlantic. The AMOC drives global climate stability, and if it falters, the impacts will likely ripple across continents—from intensified storms in […]

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, […]

It’s not about whether West Antarctica will melt and sea levels will rise, but rather when and how fast.
