Energy
Chinese researchers developed an all-perovskite tandem solar cell using laser polishing that achieved 29.80% efficiency. The bottom cell efficiency improved significantly to 24.07% with strong operational stability.
Energy
France and Spain achieved solar electricity generation records in May. Lower electricity prices in these countries reflected increased renewable energy production compared to other European markets.
Energy
Power transformer shortages are delaying grid expansion with four-year wait times and soaring prices. Supply constraints threaten renewable energy infrastructure development.
Climate
India experienced an unprecedented heat wave in late April with all 50 hottest global cities located within its borders. Peak temperatures exceeded 112°F, creating significant strain on the world's most populous nation.
Climate
Scientists warn that developing El Niño conditions will likely intensify heatwaves, droughts, and floods this year. They emphasize fossil fuel-driven climate change remains the primary driver of escalating climate extremes.
Policy
The Trump Administration finalized its repeal of the BLM's Conservation and Landscape Health Rule, eliminating equal priority for conservation on federal lands compared to mining and logging.
Climate
A study of hundreds of armed conflicts finds that severe drought increases the risk of violent clashes. The research adds to growing evidence linking climate shocks to conflict.
Policy
Trump administration plans to rescind 2024 EPA regulations on ethylene oxide emissions. Recent research shows EtO is 60 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, and the rollback could undermine public health protections.
Ocean
Sand extraction is the most mined solid material on Earth, threatening ecosystems and livelihoods. The Maldives exemplifies the crisis, using sand for land reclamation as sea levels rise from climate change.
EV
Global EV sales reached 1.6 million units in April 2026, with year-to-date sales totaling 5.6 million. Europe led demand while Chinese exports surged during the period.
Policy
55 European companies and civil society organizations formed the ETS2 Action Alliance to support the EU Emissions Trading System expansion. Leading firms like TRATON, Vattenfall, and Danfoss are backing rapid implementation of climate policy.
Policy
The Trump administration finalized its rescission of the BLM Public Lands Rule, eliminating protections for America's public lands. The decision prioritizes extractive industries like drilling while limiting public participation in the process.
Policy
EU car CO2 targets are being debated, potentially threatening billions in announced EV and battery investments across Europe. The study analyzes the industrial opportunity cost of weakening these environmental regulations.
Energy
UK electric bus depots are being used to support the national grid by leveraging EV battery storage capacity. This demonstrates how electric vehicle infrastructure can provide grid stability benefits beyond transportation.
Energy
Chinese manufacturer Jolywood has begun mass production of TOPCon solar cells that replace silver with aluminum paste while maintaining over 27% efficiency. The innovation maintains compatibility with existing production lines, potentially reducing material costs in solar manufacturing.
Wildlife
Researchers in Argentina discovered a giant river otter thought extinct in the country for 50 years while monitoring wildlife during COVID-19 lockdown. The finding supports a new Jaguar Rivers Initiative aimed at reconnecting fragmented ecosystems across South America.
Wildlife
Herpetologists are calling for greater inclusion of amphibians in African conservation planning. Africa's 1,170 amphibian species, 99% endemic, face extinction threats with 37% recognized as endangered.
Wildlife
Nigeria's Senate passed a new bill in October 2025 to strengthen wildlife protections and combat illegal trafficking of ivory and pangolin scales. The country is a major hub for international wildlife trafficking operations spanning Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Wildlife
Indonesia's West Kalimantan province is testing a payment-for-conservation model offering $1 per hectare to incentivize local communities to protect wildlife. The experiment shifts focus from traditional conservation appeals to economic incentives for habitat preservation.
Policy
The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ Agreement) officially entered force in January, creating new protections for migratory sharks and rays. Scientists and conservationists view the landmark agreement as a pathway to reshape conservation efforts for these species.
Climate
A study found that 98% of environmental claims by major meat and dairy companies amount to greenwashing. Researchers analyzed over 1,200 commitments from 33 large firms between 2021-2024.
Energy
Chinese researchers have achieved a record 27.17% efficiency for inverted perovskite solar cells by reducing band misalignment and electron accumulation. The design shows promise for both small-area devices and scalable module production.
Climate
Research published in PNAS shows climate extremes, particularly droughts exceeding critical thresholds, increase armed conflict risk in vulnerable regions like Africa and Southeast Asia. Analysis of 1950-2023 data reinforces scientific evidence linking climate shocks to warfare.
Climate
While greenhouse gas emissions trap heat near Earth's surface, they paradoxically cause cooling in the upper stratosphere. A new study explains the mechanism behind this decades-long cooling trend in the upper atmosphere.
Policy
The Trump administration canceled a 2024 Biden-era rule that gave conservation equal status with development on federal lands. The move allows the Interior Department to prioritize drilling, logging, mining, and grazing on public lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management.
