Surprisingly effective ways to curb climate change

Project Drawdown has ranked the most effective ways to limit our impact on the climate, with some surprising results. Did you know that if 16% of the miles we drive were switched from petrol to electric vehicles, that could save 10 gigatons of carbon emissions? Take the CNN quiz to discover more revelations.

How technology can help drive climate action

Setting climate targets is nothing unless followed-up with quantifying, reducing and monitoring emissions. These are complex and time-consuming processes. But with the right technology, including Artificial intelligence of Things (AIoT) solutions, they can be performed efficiently, transparently and effectively.

Protecting the ocean is key to fighting climate change

Trawler fishing releases as much CO2 from the sea bed as is emitted through global aviation. A different approach to ocean management would reduce these emissions, while preserving marine biodiversity and our supply of seafood. This requires increasing protected ocean area from its current 7% to at least 30%.

Floating solar farms generate electricity more efficiently

The cooling effect of water beneath solar panels enables them to generate electricity up to 12.5% more efficiently than rooftop or ground-mounted installations. Meanwhile, the panels’ sheltering effect from sunlight and wind protects the water from climate change impact.
