Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an emerging technology which safely captures greenhouse gas emissions from the air and stores them underground for thousands to millions of years, such as in reservoirs or depleted oil and gas fields. CO2 that has been injected is then permanently isolated; large-scale projects have demonstrated this approach is feasible.…

Electric cars (EVs) are more affordable than gas-powered cars and can help save on fuel costs. Furthermore, new battery technology improves range while simultaneously increasing lifespan and decreasing degradation over time. Staff Writer Kevin Williams was won over by the Hyundai Kona EV’s enjoyable driving experience and stunning interior. This affordable three-row EV provides ample…

Energy policy is top management’s statement of intentions and commitment to improving energy performance within their organization. It should be documented and communicated throughout all levels. Environmental considerations involve limiting greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and habitat disruption. Reliable raw material sourcing and recycling practices also play a crucial role. Sustainable practices and renewable energy…

Climate change mitigation refers to efforts aimed at reducing or preventing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing carbon sinks, with an eye toward sustainable transformations across society – such as making the switch to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency and adopting regenerative agriculture practices. UNDP provides countries on their mitigation journey with guidance toward sustainable, low-carbon…

Green buildings prioritize environmental concerns by limiting energy use, water consumption and pollution emissions. Some may even turn to cleaner alternative energies for powering their operations. Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) allow us to consider the effects of building materials and equipment from birth-to-death. Studies indicate that people living and working in buildings designed sustainably report…

Housing crisis and greater environmental awareness have made mixed use development projects increasingly attractive, although financing these investments is sometimes challenging. Mixed-use development refers to projects that feature commercial, retail, residential, cultural and/or industrial functions in one area – usually pedestrian-friendly projects that integrate commercial functions alongside retail shops or stores, residential units and cultural…

Communities built around transit stations create vibrant and walkable communities. Not only does it increase transit ridership, but it can also reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and promote healthier lifestyles in their surrounding area. TOD can also transform parking lots and underutilized land into attractive mixed-use developments that attract both people and businesses to an…

Sustainable urban infrastructure refers to the construction of eco-friendly municipal and urban infrastructure that takes environmental stewardship seriously, including green technologies and energy efficient systems designed for long-term environmental responsibility. Cities can make an enormous impactful statement about their commitment to climate and biodiversity by setting ambitious climate and biodiversity goals and investing in nature-based…

Humanity needs a future where humanity lives in harmony with nature, where individuals have access to decent work, quality health care and education. Sustainable development refers to economic growth that emphasizes reducing harmful emissions and protecting the environment, while simultaneously creating peaceful, just, and inclusive societies. Economic growth Economic development is essential to human progress,…

Energy efficiency provides long-term cost savings to households by lowering electricity, gas, and other fuel prices. Furthermore, it helps people reduce carbon pollution and improve the environment. Accelerating energy efficiency improvements can be key in mitigating risks associated with new power plants and infrastructure projects, speeding the fossil fuel phase-out process and providing health benefits…
