Climate Solutions

Owning the Weather For millennia the weather has been the most important thing in human existence. We feared drought and prayed for rain. Owning the Weather, the latest film from director Robert Greene, investigates whether modern technology could control it and trick a changing climate.

A RECIPE for Profitable Climate Action Europe could profit from early climate protection even if no other countries join in, according to the RECIPE study published by Allianz and WWF. But here is the catch: we have to act before 2020 to make any meaningful impact, and some industries will suffer while others prosper.

Climate RECIPE: Three Voices for Action

The New Cool: Super Efficient Air-Conditioning Buildings consume about half of the worlds energy. The UK start-up Artica could make them greener with cooling technology that uses 90 percent less energy than conventional airconditioning. Co-founder Mathew Holloway explains.

Climate Stimulus: A New Green Deal?

President Roosevelts New Deal transformed Depression-era America into the wealthiest nation the world has ever known. Could a New Green Deal work similar wonders for climate protection and economic recovery?

Carbon Sequestration: How to Clean Coal Renewable energies wont be able to fully substitute fossil fuels for years to come. Filtering CO2 from coal power plants, known as carbon capture and storage, will be crucial. The first pilot project is online in Germany. Can clean coal be a reliable solution to climate change?

Protecting Forests: Cutting CO2, not Trees Trees are worth more dead than alive, despite being critical stores of carbon and generators of life-giving rainfall. That must change to avoid accelerated climate change and catastrophic loss of biodiversity.

Adapting to Climate Change: Can We Do It Again? Dangerous climate change will not be prevented by reduced emissions. The damage is already done. For many vulnerable societies, the priority must be adaptation.

Fighting Climate Change: A Continuing Challenge Kim Carstensen, Leader of the WWF's Climate Initiative, explains how fighting climate change is a moral obligation and a business opportunity at the same time.

Ten Steps To Success In Copenhagen

Mitigation: How to Fight Global Warming There is no silver bullet to replace fossil fuels like oil or coal. Take a look at some encouraging examples, such as algae fuels, heat from crowded cities, and greener air travel.
