The future of sea travel could be here -- and it just might help save the planet. A hydrogen-powered ferry that produces zero emissions will soon launch in the San Francisco bay.

Forty world leaders are taking part in a climate change summit hosted by US President Joe Biden. Alice Hill, David M. Rubenstein Senior Fellow for Energy and the Environment at the Council on Foreign Relations, shared her thoughts on the meeting.

Buildings are a big environmental headache. They account for nearly half of the world's climate changing emissions. But things may be different in the years ahead, as VOA's Rosanne Skirble discovered in a laboratory on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Since 2008, Chicago has been implementing a series of strategies in its Climate Action Plan – an initiative that seeks to reduce the city’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 1990 levels – and in 2019 committed to running the city on 100% renewable energy by 2040.

Copenhagen has announced ambitious plans to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025. This is how they plan to achieve their goal. For more information on The B1M: http://ow.ly/GxW7y

Humanity just won a really important victory in our battle to lower the CO2 emissions that are causing climate change. Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced the world to the “Powerwall,” a wall-mounted battery for your house which aims to accelerate our transition to clean solar and wind-power.

US President Barack Obama has unveiled what he called "the biggest, most important step we have ever taken" in tackling climate change. The aim of the revised Clean Power Plan is to cut greenhouse gas emissions from US power stations by nearly a third within 15 years. The measures will place signifi...

In the near future, the North Pole could truly be relegated to the realm of history. Since scientists started measuring winter sea ice, we’ve lost half a million square miles of it—and for every additional ton of carbon dioxide in the air, about 32 square feet of summer sea ice disappears. Robin

Trees curb climate change directly by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Through the process of photosynthesis, forests offset 10 to 20 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions each year. Additionally, trees help protect against climate impacts such as flooding, which is getting w
