At TEDxBerlin 2012, Laurence Kemball-Cook presented "Turning Our Cities Into Human Power Plants." His talk introduced Pavegen, an innovative technology that embeds power-generating systems directly into pavement.

Pavegen harnesses the energy from human footsteps, converting it into usable power. This groundbreaking approach transforms walking into a viable alternative energy source, effectively turning urban environments into sustainable power generators.

Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

Globally, three billion people rely on inefficient open fires for daily cooking, primarily burning firewood. This practice leads to significant health, safety, and deforestation issues.

In late 2014, research by Fabio Parigi, Climate Healers, and the University of Iowa in Rajasthan, India, led to the Mewar Angithi. This $1 insert converts traditional inefficient cookstoves into high-efficiency units.

Since 2014, the Mewar Angithi has positively impacted over 25,000 lives in India, Ghana, and Kenya, a testament to the work of Dr. Fabio Parigi, Dr. Sailesh Rao, and Professor H.S. Udaykumar. This initiative was highlighted in a TEDx talk. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

NASA climate scientist Ben Cook discusses his research on past and future drought risks. He and his colleagues used tree rings to understand historical droughts. For future projections in the 21st century, they incorporated soil moisture data into climate models.

This research was published on February 12, 2015.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Alaska's Cook Inlet as he assists conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring endangered beluga whales. These Arctic-adapted whales, known for their echolocation and lack of a dorsal fin, feed on salmon in the inlet. Once numbering over a thousand, their population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the early 1990s.

Habitat degradation from nearby human development and climate change are significant threats preventing recovery. Experts emphasize the need to reduce environmental impacts and balance human needs with beluga survival to ensure future generations can witness these incredible creatures.

Join CCL's quarterly Ask Me Anything (AMA) to discuss the latest IPCC report (AR6/WG1) and broader climate science. This session features Dana Nuccitelli, CCL Research Coordinator and leader of the Science Policy Network, alongside Dr. Ben Santer, a distinguished research scientist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Dr. Santer is renowned for his pioneering "climate fingerprint" research, which identifies human influence on global climate. For deeper engagement, explore his work on climate fingerprints and his recent essay on the IPCC report. Additionally, CCL offers a Climate Science Basics Training for foundational understanding.
