IRENA Appoints Dr Mike Enskat to Lead Its Innovation and Technology Centre in Bonn

As of 1st December, Dr Mike Enskat assumes the role of Director of the International Renewable Energy Agencies’ Innovation and Technology Centre (IITC) in Bonn.

Kenya: #3xRenewables for Energy Independence and Food Security

In a coastal fishing community in Kwale County, Kenya, solar power is providing reliable electricity for cold storage. This helps local fishermen preserve their catch, reduces dependence on a fluctuating grid, supports livelihoods through fairer prices, and secures a sustainable solar-powered future for the community.

Progress, Shortfalls and Emerging Opportunities in Energy Transition Investment

As global energy transition investment reached a record USD 2.4 trillion in 2024, significant gaps remain in funding for key technologies and regions, underscoring the need for impact-driven finance and stronger public sector leadership to ensure all countries can meet the 2030 target of tripling renewable power capacity.

Five Takeaways from COP30 in Belém

At COP30 in Belém, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) launched progress-tracking reports, provided climate support to countries, and identified five priority areas including implementation, grids, finance, supply chains, and workforce to accelerate the energy transition toward 1.5°C goals.

Global Renewable Energy Investment Hit USD 807 Billion in 2024

Global investments in the energy transition reached a new record of USD 2.4 trillion in 2024 – a 20% increase from the average annual levels of 2022/23.

Global utilities set out USD 1 trillion investment plans at COP30 as grid spend grows

Global utilities today unveiled upgraded annual investment plans that will see energy transition spend rise to US $148 billion per year, up from previously stated ambitions of US $117 billion. The plans revealed by members of the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) today at COP30, will see a group of the world’s leading utilities mobilise more than USD 1 trillion in energy transition investments to 2030 since establishment at COP28.

3.3 billion-year-old crystals reveal a shockingly active early Earth

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction. Ancient melt inclusions and advanced simulations point to continents forming far earlier than expected. The findings overturn long-held assumptions about the planet’s infancy and reveal a surprisingly active Hadean world.

New data reveals one of the smallest ozone holes in decades

This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica ranked among the smallest since the early 1990s, reflecting steady progress from decades of global action under the Montreal Protocol. Declining chlorine levels and warmer stratospheric temperatures helped limit ozone destruction. Scientists say the layer remains on track to recover later this century.

Hornet-eating frog shows remarkable venom resistance

Experiments reveal that pond frogs can eat highly venomous hornets without suffering noticeable damage, even after repeated stings. Most frogs successfully consumed hornets, including the notorious Asian giant hornet. This unusual resilience suggests that frogs may have evolved mechanisms to block the effects of venom. Their resistance could help scientists uncover new insights into pain and toxin tolerance.

Scientists capture flu viruses surfing into human cells in real time

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking imaging technique, researchers discovered that our cells actually reach out and “grab” the virus as it searches for the perfect entry point, surfing along the membrane.

Early Earth’s sky may have created the first ingredients for life

Researchers recreated conditions from billions of years ago and found that Earth’s young atmosphere could make key molecules linked to life. These sulfur-rich compounds, including certain amino acids, may have formed naturally in the sky. The results suggest early Earth wasn’t starting from zero but may have already been stocked with essential ingredients.

Doomed ants send a final scent to save their colony

Ant pupae that are fatally sick don’t hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal prompts worker ants to open the pupae’s cocoons and disinfect them with formic acid, stopping the infection before it can spread. Although the treatment kills the sick pupa, it protects the colony and helps ensure its long-term survival. Researchers found that only pupae too sick to recover send this scent, showing just how finely tuned the colony’s early-warning system is.

For fossil fuel-dependent islands, ocean thermal energy offers a lifeline

- Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is gaining renewed attention as a reliable, 24/7 clean-energy option for tropical islands, with a pilot project in the Canary Islands showcasing its potential and building on small-scale tests in Japan and Hawai‘i.
- The technology uses the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water to evaporate a working fluid, drive a turbine and regenerate the cycle — offering massive theoretical potential to generate up to 3 terawatts globally.
- Seawater-based heating and cooling systems, including seawater heat pumps and seawater air-conditioning (SWAC), are already in use and could be scaled up rapidly to cut emissions when paired with renewables.
- Major barriers include cost, investor reluctance and environmental concerns, especially around deep-water discharge and ammonia use, prompting calls for large-scale demonstration projects to prove first prove their viability and safety.

To save jaguars from extinction, scientists in Brazil are trying IVF and cloning

- In Brazil’s state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the Reprocon research group, which specializes in assisted wildlife reproduction, has been investing in cloning methods and protocols for jaguars since 2023.
- Fragmented habitat has isolated jaguar populations, causing them to cross with members of the same gene pool. Today, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and cloning techniques have been improving the genetics of groups to avoid eventual extinction of the species because of inbreeding.
- Cloning is used together with other endangered wildlife conservation strategies like creating, expanding and connecting preserved habitat. Reprocon expects to transfer its first cloned embryos to female cats in 2026.

A rare bright spot for whales: Decades of conservation pay off for endangered population in Canada

- Northern bottlenose whale populations have struggled to rebound, even though commercial whaling was outlawed in their habitats more than 50 years ago.
- Long-term monitoring shows that one population of the species has begun to recover since their year-round habitat, a submarine canyon off Canada’s east coast known as the Gully, became a Marine Protected Area in 2004.
- The Gully MPA provides a rare marine conservation success story, but protection for marine mammals that migrate is more complex.

Wildfire burns climate-vulnerable Joshua trees in US national park

A wildfire in California’s Joshua Tree National Park burned through some 29 hectares (72 acres) of land during the recent federal government shutdown in October and November. That’s a small fire by California standards, but firefighters estimate it scorched roughly 1,000 of the park’s iconic Joshua trees, according to The Los Angeles Times. The burned […]

Decades-old palm trees in Rio de Janeiro flower for the first — and only — time

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Towering talipot palms in a Rio de Janeiro park are flowering for the first and only time in their lives, decades after famed Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx introduced them in the 1960s. Towards the end of its life — which can span between 40 and 80 years — the palm tree sends up a […]
