Renewable Energy Can Help Solve Spiking Energy Prices
[link removed]
[link removed]
As the global energy crisis becomes more dire, the world is in need of reliable, affordable energy. Some have blamed spiking energy prices, particularly in Europe, on renewable energy systems. However, the opposite is true: The world needs more renewables, not less, to create reliable energy systems with stable prices. Governments need to do more to accelerate the shift to clean energy, including ensuring that electric grids can increase reliability, efficiency and accessibility. Read more.

7 Opportunities to Reduce Emissions from Beef Production

[link removed]
Food systems are one of the biggest drivers of global emissions, and beef is one of the highest contributors within those systems. While a shift away from high-beef diets will be essential to address this problem, beef production is set to continue far into the future. To address this reality, experts Richard Waite and Jessica Zionts explore opportunities for both beef producers and purchasers to reduce beef-related emissions through improved practices. Learn more.

Addressing the Gender Equity Gap in Sustainable Infrastructure
[link removed]
[link removed]
International Women’s Day on March 8 offers an opportunity to identify ways in which women are still left behind in society. One often overlooked area is infrastructure, as women only hold roughly a fourth of global energy sector jobs. Considering that bold climate action could create 65 million more jobs by 2030, it is crucial to make the just transition to clean energy equitable for all. If done right, better access to infrastructure jobs for women can lead to progress on climate goals, create economic benefits and advance gender equity worldwide. Read here.
