Pet food could be the secret weapon to reducing deforestation. WePlanet’s @joelscotthalkes.bsky.social explains in this video, that this land-saving approach would be achieved by simply by replacing the traditional bits of meat in the kibble for Mr. Sprinkles 🐈 with lab-grown meat instead.

Season 4 of Saving the World from Bad Ideas is going live tomorrow Sep 24! ⭐️ Host Mark Lynas is joined by scientist Joshua Elliott to discuss Earth’s tipping points and rapidly changing climate systems — and how human intervention like climate stabilisation — is a becoming a moral imperative.

WePlanet’s Tea Törmänen is in Baden for discussions on Switzerland’s nuclear future—as the country heads towards a referendum on whether to allow new nuclear power plants. Watch Tea explain a few of the many environmental advantages nuclear energy has to offer. ⬇️ #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy

Wildfires in regions not normally prone to burning can cause damage beyond what we see. Among what was lost in the wildfires that swept through Wales this summer — a region not accustomed to fire — was something that can take centuries to replace: topsoil. shorturl.at/E2Pey #Wildfires #Climate

Summer wildfires caused 'catastrophic' hidden damage, scientists warn

Bangor University researchers say the scale of damage is far greater than what is immediately visible.

WePlanet Poland's @adamblazowski.bsky.social is quoted in this article defending nuclear energy amid Europe's heatwaves. He says recent disruptions to nuclear energy production “call for an upgrade in Europe’s nuclear preparedness for extreme climate events..." shorturl.at/KCNbD

What the heat waves in Europe tell us about the reliability of nuclear power

In France and Switzerland, nuclear plants went offline, while in Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria they shut down or reduced output

Food production is among the top causes of biodiversity loss, environmental degradation & emissions worldwide. Yet much of the world still struggles to optimize how we make our food. Novel technologies — like precision fermentation — can massively help us tackle this issue. shorturl.at/PttqG

New research shows the world isn’t doing nearly enough to fix its food problem

Emissions from agriculture are trending up, but experts say progress must continue even if it means missing key deadlines.

The Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant was set to become the first Spanish nuclear power plant to close under the country’s plan to phase out all its reactors by 2035. Now, the plant remains powered on until 2030. Read more in our latest blog. shorturl.at/r1WYL #WePlanet #NuclearPower #NetZero

Why a Spanish nuclear power plant you’ve never heard of should give you climate optimism

In a win for climate, the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant will stay open, keeping reliable, low-carbon power on the grid when we need it most.

Extreme heat has killed at least 25,000 people in Western Europe alone this year. Instead of sitting around waiting for the next heatwave, leaders can take measures *now* to protect our communities. Make air conditioning accessible. Lower energy costs. Divest from fossil fuels. shorturl.at/8ijEn

In our latest Substack, @hiddemhigh.bsky.social writes about the need for European agricultural policy to break from practices of the past & embrace rewilding and land sparing approaches: "If we want to successfully implement a land-sparing policy, we need someone with guts." shorturl.at/M4XC4

Rewilding the European countryside — the time is now

Science is clear on this, states Hidde Boersma: for nature, it is much better to practice more agriculture on less land. The rest can be returned to nature.
