Two UN reports confirm the world has reached a “positive tipping point” where renewable energy—especially solar and wind—is now consistently cheaper than fossil fuels, making clean energy the most economically attractive option.

In 2024, renewables made up 92.5% of all new electricity capacity and drove 74% of global electricity growth, showing that clean energy is now the dominant force in power generation.

Global investment in renewables soared to $2 trillion last year, surpassing fossil fuel spending by nearly $800 billion—evidence that markets are aligning with climate goals.

However, the transition is still uneven: fossil fuel production continues to rise, and developing regions like Africa face barriers due to high financing costs, requiring more equitable investment to ensure a truly global energy shift.

Investors are increasingly funding climate adaptation projects like sponge parks and oyster reefs to protect communities from extreme weather.

In Washington, D.C., a “spongy” park was built with permeable surfaces and underground drains to absorb stormwater, financed through an environmental impact bond.

In Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay, oyster reefs are being restored to reduce storm surges, clean water, and capture carbon, with support from private capital and carbon credit markets.

The global adaptation market is expected to reach $2 trillion by 2026 as insurance deserts grow and climate impacts worsen.

These nature-based solutions offer multiple benefits—flood protection, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration—while shifting the focus from only reducing emissions to also building resilience.

Original Title: ~6 years ago two unacknowledged women asked Prof Larkin if it would be feasible to deter the trade in Rhino horns by using radiation injected into the inert material (keratin). He said no, but now after research there is news that a safe dose will be used and can be detected along the supply chain.

A North Carolina-based group has built free AI tools to help patients and clinics fight back against health insurance denials. It’s called Counterforce Health, and it’s turning the tables on insurers using the same tactics — automation, algorithms, and scale.

What’s amazing is this started as a small idea in Wilmington and is now helping people across the country challenge unfair denials, appeal faster, and actually get results. AI doesn’t have to serve corporations — it can serve people, too.

If anyone’s curious, there’s a short ABC11 story about how it works:
