Luckily, as legend goes, Santa does not need to worry about inclement weather when he is making his many visits during the night before Christmas. Thanks to Rudolph’s bright red nose, Santa has a clear view for his epic annual journey, even in the most dense of fog conditions.

“Waste is a design flaw” - Sophie Thomas

In our last article, we looked at the benefits that adopting a sustainable approach to city dwelling had on the environment and population. We now look at one of the key economic strategies being heralded as a solution to creating a financially and environmentally sustainable future for us all.

As we have described in previous articles, the challenges posed by climate change are immense. The rising global temperatures and changes to weather patterns are impacting us in a host of ways. However, unlike the 1970s, we are both fully aware of the challenges we are facing, and critically, are making fundamental changes to our infrastructure.

Our cities have always been in a constant state of transition. The recent environmental and climate challenges have given a new impetus to examine the urban infrastructure and environment from a human perspective. The city dweller’s health, both mental and physical, is being placed at the forefront of city design and adaptation.

A great city is not to be confused with a populous one. - Aristotle

We now take a closer look at the infrastructure challenges, and solutions facing our cities and urban environments in their journey towards carbon neutrality.

It is estimated that by 2050, two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities, consuming up to 75% of the world’s natural resources, while producing 50% of global waste

“Farming is a profession of hope.” - Brian Brett.

In our previous article we examined the challenges facing the adoption of a sustainable transportation system using electric vehicles, and some of the technical challenges that were being addressed. In the next series of articles we turn our attention to the urban environment, including its infrastructure and transportation. 

In our previous article on climate change, we examined the technology, and alternatives behind the production of our food. We now turn our attention to the future of our transport.

As part of our series of articles on the effect of climate change, we look at the recent push by the UK government to allow gene-edited crops to be grown in both England and Scotland that has met some resistance from the Scottish government.

In our previous article on climate change, we looked into the local-level strategy that the UK government is adopting to create a more sustainable future. We now turn our gaze to the global story.

In our previous article on climate change, we examined how temperatures and weather are changing on a global scale. We will now look into how governments are reacting to this change.
