In a world racing toward net-zero emissions goals, carbon credit trading has become a vital mechanism for incentivizing emissions reductions. Yet traditional systems often struggle with opacity, double-counting, and concerns with trust that undermine market credibility. Blockchain technology—an immutable, decentralized digital ledger—offers a promising solution by enabling secure, transparent recording of every carbon credit from […]

Brands are redesigning e-commerce packaging to close the loop — moving beyond recyclable materials toward reuse, returnable systems, and packaging-as-a-service. Leaders such as TerraCycle’s Loop partner with consumer goods companies and retailers to put products into durable, refillable containers that ride the same delivery networks but are collected, cleaned, and reused — reducing single-use waste

Coastal ecosystems are among the most productive and valuable natural systems on Earth, supporting biodiversity, food security, livelihoods, and climate regulation. Mangroves, coral reefs, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows protect shorelines from erosion and extreme weather while sustaining fisheries and tourism. However, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), these ecosystems are increasingly threatened

In recent years, minimalism and sustainability have become two influential lifestyle philosophies that often overlap—but are not identical. Both address the environmental impacts of consumption and encourage mindful choices, yet they differ in scope. Understanding where they support and contradict each other can help individuals and communities pursue more meaningful and planet-friendly lifestyles. At its

Green cloud computing integrates eco-friendly practices into cloud services to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact while maintaining high performance in data center operations. It focuses on powering cloud infrastructure with renewable energy, optimizing resource utilization, and minimizing carbon emissions, ensuring sustainability is built into every layer of data center design. Modern green cloud strategies

The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept that is increasingly reshaping how people live, work, and interact in modern cities. It envisions neighbourhoods where essential daily needs—such as groceries, healthcare, education, workplaces, parks, and leisure spaces—are accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home. By promoting compact, mixed-use development, this model challenges

The way people travel is evolving, with sustainability taking center stage in shaping responsible tourism practices. Unlike conventional mass tourism, which often strains natural resources and local communities, low-impact tourism prioritizes ecological conservation, cultural preservation, and socio-economic benefits. This approach encourages travelers to make conscious choices that support local economies and protect fragile ecosystems. Globally,

Climate change is no longer just an environmental or economic challenge—it is increasingly becoming a mental-health concern. Across the world, particularly in countries like India where climate impacts are severe, people are experiencing rising levels of anxiety, fear, and emotional fatigue linked to environmental uncertainty. Heatwaves, floods, air pollution, and erratic weather patterns are contributing

A global shift toward clean, resilient and affordable energy systems is emerging as a defining priority for governments, industries and scientific communities. Reports from the International Energy Agency and the UN Environment Programme highlight that existing fossil-fuel-based pathways are incompatible with long-term ecological stability, making energy transformation central to climate resilience, public health and economic

Climate optimism is increasingly recognised as a constructive force shaping meaningful environmental action worldwide. Rather than downplaying risks, this perspective emphasises measurable progress and the growing capacity to respond effectively. Global climate assessments from the IPCC show that mitigation and adaptation pathways are clearer than before, with renewable energy and climate-smart technologies expanding at unprecedented
