Trends In Photovoltaic Applications 2024
Photovoltaic (PV) devices convert light directly into electricity and should not be confused with other solar technologies such as concentrated solar power (CSP) or solar thermal for heating and cooling. The key components of a PV power system are various types of photovoltaic cells (often called solar cells) interconnected and encapsulated to form a photovoltaic module (the commercial product), the mounting structure for the module or array, the inverter (one or multiple, essential for grid-connected systems and required for most off-grid systems) the cabling to connect the modules with each other and with the inverter(s), the storage battery and charge controller (for off-grid systems but also increasingly for grid-connected ones).

Grid Planning for Building Electrification
Technical advancements, policy goals, and customer preference are driving building electrification across the United States. Increased building electrification could lead to long-term, sustained load growth, reversing flat or declining load trends seen across the country over the past 15 years (U.S. EIA, 2024).

Climate Smart Agriculture Building Resilience to Climate Change
The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept is gaining considerable traction at international and national levels to meet the challenges of addressing agricultural planning under climate change. CSA is a concept that calls for integration of the need for adaptation and the possibility of mitigation in agricultural growth strategies to support food security. Several countries around the world have expressed intent to adopt CSA approach to managing their agricultural sectors.

Rising to the Challenge | Success Stories and Strategies for Achieving Climate Adaptation and Resilience
Urgent and ambitious actions are needed to enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of people, businesses, communities, economies, and ecosystems. The Paris Agreement’s Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) establishes aspirations to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, and reduce vulnerability to climate change, particularly for vulnerable populations and communities.

The State OF Carbon Dioxide Removal 2nd Edition | 2024 (A Global, Independent Scientific Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Removal)
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be necessary to limit climate change, alongside reducing emissions. This report builds on the previous edition to track CDR development, strengthen core concepts and build a community around access to reliable CDR data.

The Role of Green Infrastructure in Urban Water Resilience
Urban areas around the globe are increasingly vulnerable to water-related challenges, such as flooding, pollution, and scarcity, compounded by the pressures of urbanisation and climate change. Traditional water management systems, predominantly built on grey infrastructure, are proving inadequate in addressing these challenges sustainably. In response, GI emerges as a transformative approach, promising a sustainable solution by integrating natural processes and systems into urban landscapes.

Climate Change Management – Transition to Net Zero | Part 1: Carbon Neutrality
Climate change arising from anthropogenic activity has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing the world and will continue to affect businesses and citizens over future decades. Climate change has implications for both human and natural systems and can lead to significant impacts on resource availability, economic activity, biodiversity and human well-being. In response, international, regional, national and local initiatives are being developed and implemented by public and private sectors to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth's atmosphere as well as to facilitate adaptation to climate change.

Mining for Climate
The mining industry in Europe is integral to the continent's economic framework and sustainability ambitions, providing essential raw materials for various sectors, including technology, energy, and manufacturing. European mining is characterized by a diverse portfolio of minerals and metals, with significant operations in non-ferrous metals, iron ore, magnesite, and potash. The EU's production landscape involves approximately 54 types of mined minerals and metals, and the industry is known for maintaining some of the lowest greenhouse gas emissions globally.
