WWF - The Climate Crisis is the greatest challenge Humanity has ever faced it affects every corner of our planet – from the poles to the tropics, and from the mountains to the oceans.

Find out more about key trends in the Climate and Energy space from WWF here.

WWF - Solutions to the climate crisis are available and economically viable, and businesses of all sizes are taking steps to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

WWF works with businesses to help them on their journey. Find out more here.

WWF - Here we explore why companies striving for credible climate change strategies need to follow a robust mitigation hierarchy – focused on real and Paris-aligned reductions first – and invest for climate and nature impact to address remaining emissions.

WWF - We all need to eat. But the way we produce and consume food is putting an impossible strain on the planet, while many are still going hungry. And with the world’s population set to grow from 7 billion today to more than 9 billion by 2050, it’s clear that our food system needs to change – urgently.

Find out from WWF how we can make the food system work for people and nature.

WWF - This report confirms the potential of Nature-based solutions to provide job-intense economic recovery while having a multiplier effect in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

WWF - The global ocean; the Earth’s oceanic waters, including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern oceans – supplies more than half the oxygen we breathe, and provides food and livelihoods for billions of people worldwide. But our Ocean is in crisis.

Find out here about the actions needed now to restore ocean health while the solutions are still within our grasp.

WWF - In the wake of increased interest and pledges from both the public and private sectors to scale nature-based solutions, WWF has released this report with guidance on implementing high-impact and high-quality nature-based solutions for climate mitigation.

This joined IRENA-FAO report analyses the role of renewables in agri-food systems and opportunity they offer to advance energy and food security and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.

Energy and agri-food systems are deeply connected. Agri-food systems consume about 30% of the world’s energy. While, energy is responsible for a third of agri-food systems’ emissions. A joint approach to the Energy Transition and Food Systems Transformation is therefore essential to meet current and future demand for food and energy in an inclusive and environmentally sustainable manner.

WEF : Blockchain technology has the potential to both contribute to the problem of climate change and help address it. On the one hand, the energy consumption of Bitcoin and Ethereum mining has been a significant concern, with the proliferation of large-scale mining operations that consume a substantial amount of energy, some of which is generated from fossil fuels. On the other hand, blockchain is becoming an essential part of developing a carbon-neutral energy grid and has made it economically viable to invest in, develop and build renewable energy power generation.
