Read our expanding news coverage of climate technologies and policies.
Since the Industrial Revolution, our fondness for technology has gotten us into the mess of climate change. Now, can science and technology help get us out of it? That's the question Science|Business is trying to answer with our stepped-up news coverage of climate-related R&D and research policy - in energy, transport, agriculture, manufacturing, urban management and, of course, basic science. We welcome your suggestions for future coverage, at [email protected].
As the EU transitions towards a net zero economy, universities are stepping up to play their part. But funding is needed for initiatives such as greening ancient buildings
Commission’s ambition to preserve cultural heritage while delivering the EU green deal still has no clear plan. Some MEPs believe a €500 million Horizon Europe style mission could give it structure
Some academics worry research into solar geoengineering will normalise a risky and little understood technology. But advocates say any tool that can mitigate climate change deserves more investigation
The Arctic circle is warming three times as quickly as the rest of the planet. With access to research in Siberia now restricted, the impact could be ‘felt all around the world’
The longstanding programme is back again with its focus on cross-border innovation, and is finalising agreement with the Commission to tap an expected €250M funding line
Tens of billions of euros will be required to clean up steel manufacturing and the EU needs to decide what route it should take to do this - whether to retrofit old coke furnaces, or build new gas-powered ones
As governments around the world scramble to start up green hydrogen economies, scientists are pointing to an underexplored source of the gas – natural hydrogen continuously generated in the earth’s crust
Currently, countries can self-report emissions, based on proxy measures of other activity. Echoing initiatives in the EU, presidential science advisor Eric Lander now wants to use satellites and sensors to get better data.
First round of nineteen research calls will put €673M into soils, oceans, climate-neutral cities, cancer and climate adaptation, as the missions kick off in full steam
To curb climate change, European policymakers need access to the best and most up-to-date scientific information and data. How can the research community ensure that happens?
journalists track important R&D policy news across the globe - including the EU Horizon programme, COVID-19, AI and climate.
