COP27 Climate Summit: Some Key Statistics on Risk and Investment Trends
As Egypt hosts the most important sustainability event of the year, COP27, the Middle Eastern country is pushing hard on making the summit about decarbonization implementation as opposed to climate commitments. However, given the weak global economy, high inflation, and geopolitical instability, we should not expect many breakthroughs coming out of this year's summit. The over 100 countries participating will be negotiating the establishment of the Damage and Loss Fund (a fund to finance damage and losses suffered by most vulnerable countries), as well as the $ 100 billion yearly investment commitment for developing countries to address their climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Nobody expects much progress on either front given the limited political capital of the largest polluting countries as well as the weak budget space to fill the climate financing gap.

Hunt For Habitable Ocean Worlds Beyond Our Solar System
The hunt for habitable ocean worlds outside our solar system has several goals and many different scientific objectives. One of those goals is to search for biosignatures, which could indicate a past or present presence of life on another world. Currently, robotic missions are being considered to look for biosignatures on outer planets. In 2004, NASA formed the Outer Planets Assessment Group to determine scientific priorities and pathways for exploration of the outer solar system.

Can direct air capture mature fast enough to contribute to net-zero pathways?
Decarbonisation, net-zero emissions, and sustainability have recently become popular buzzwords in the commercial world. More organisations than ever aspire to achieve net-zero emissions, recognising that increased environmental awareness has changed the way we make our purchasing decisions. The primary way to achieve these aspirations is by reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It can be achieved through the transformation of our energy systems. Conventional fossil fuel technologies are to be replaced with low-carbon alternatives, such as renewable and nuclear energy, as well as carbon capture, utilisation and storage. Significant GHG emission reductions can also be achieved by implementing energy efficiency and behavioural measures.

On the Sentience of Trees
I try to not think too much about the trees. I try to not think too much or too long because the possible implications of their possible sentience is too abstract and possible horrifying.

Is It Only A Matter Of Time Until We're On A Dry Desolate Rock
2023 is promising to be no better than 2022. How will we know? It will require us to become more aware, not letting ourselves become so bogged down we miss what’s occurring in front of us, and we will need to play a part at times. That last one is going to be the hardest. That’s because a lot of our species struggle with change.

The Night Sky
No matter how far along you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always one fundamental moment that we all go back to. That is that very first moment that we went out where you could really see the cosmos well and you took in the night sky. For city dwellers, this is a revelation as profound as if we discovered aliens living among us. Most of us have no idea the vast panorama of lights that dot a clear night sky when there are no city lights to interfere with the view.
