Advancing Ocean Climate Action at COP27

Ocean Conservancy

I was joined by Ocean Conservancy colleagues working to advance ocean-climate action. C, we stand to lose ocean and coastal ecosystems we depend on to sea level rise, warming temperatures, ocean acidification and other climate impacts. We focused on the following priorities : The Ocean in the Climate Change Dialogue.

Wind-powered Cargo Vessel Holds Hope for a Greener Future

Ocean Conservancy

While a wind-powered cargo vessel may seem like a 19 th Century idea, the Grain de Sail may be a herald of a greener future rather than a nostalgic nod to the past. Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails. The post Wind-powered Cargo Vessel Holds Hope for a Greener Future appeared first on Ocean Conservancy.

Ocean Solutions for Clean Energy

Ocean Conservancy

To avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, it’s crucial that we shift energy production away from the unsustainable fossil fuels that cause climate change and towards those that release little to no greenhouse gases (GHG), such as solar and wind power. Key Announcements. Momentum Toward COP27.

What could we do with $120 billion to protect the ocean and fight climate change?

Ocean Conservancy

Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails. This February, an extreme freeze in Texas left millions without power, took over 200 lives and caused dead fish to wash up along Texas shorelines. That’s not helping our ocean or Americans. Offshore wind power is a key ocean-based climate solution that we need to invest in.

Sabin Center Urges BOEM to Consider Climate Change Risks to Offshore Wind Projects, as Well as Climate Change Impacts to Wildlife if Offshore Wind Projects Are Not Constructed

Law Columbia

In March 2021, the Biden Administration announced a target of deploying 30,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind capacity by 2030, enough energy to power approximately 10 million homes. As of May 31, 2022, only 42 MW of offshore wind capacity was in operation, less than 1% of the Administration’s 30,000-MW target.

Challenges and Opportunities in Mining Materials for Energy Storage Lithium-ion Batteries

Union of Concerned Scientists

Generating and storing clean energy is a lifeline for the planet’s future; burning coal, oil, and gas fossil fuels causes 75% of greenhouse gas emissions. Energy from the sun and wind never runs out and is used again and again. How are Lithium-ion Batteries that Store Solar and Wind Power Made? Click to learn more!
