  • Can we dim the sun to cool the Earth?

    Can we dim the sun to cool the Earth?
    2026/01/02
    As global temperatures continue to rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, can we dim the sunlight to cool the Earth? The idea may sound extreme, but solar radiation management, or solar geo-engineering, has already become a serious subject of scientific research. And it's not just scientists—billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Gates have also shown interest. How viable is this concept in practice? What ethical, environmental, and global governance challenges could it bring? Zhao Ying speaks with John Moore, a research professor at the Arctic Center, University of Lapland in Finland. From 2015 to '22, he led the Chinese geoengineering research program while serving as Chief Scientist at the College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University.

  • Year-end special: What 2025 tells us about climate

    Year-end special: What 2025 tells us about climate
    2025/12/26
    As the year comes to a close, we step back to look at what 2025 tells us about where we are on climate change. What climate events mattered most? Where did we see real momentum, and where are the biggest risks? And as we head into 2026, what should we be watching most closely? Zhao Ying speaks with Fei Fei to unpack it all.

  • Are solar panels from China booming Africa's energy transition?

    Are solar panels from China booming Africa's energy transition?
    2025/12/19
    For years, critics in Washington and Brussels have warned about China producing "too many" solar panels. But could this so-called "overcapacity" actually be the key to solving Africa's energy crisis? A recent report by global energy think tank Ember shows that Africa’s imports of Chinese solar panels surged by 60% in the year leading up to June, marking the first signs of a solar take-off across the continent. Zhao Ying speaks with Dave Jones, co-founder of Ember and the author of this report, to explore the potential for solar energy to transform Africa's energy landscape.

  • What makes a city sustainable?

    What makes a city sustainable?
    2025/12/12
    Cities are home to over half of the world's population. With rapid urban growth, it becomes increasingly crucial for cities not just to survive, but to build resilience for future generations. The 2025 Global Award for Sustainable Development in Cities, or Shanghai Award, offers a glimpse of that diversity. The award is jointly organized by UN-Habitat and the Shanghai Municipality. The winners – Algiers, Al Madinah, Bogotá, Espoo, and Incheon – each show a unique pathway toward sustainable urban development. Zhao Ying speaks with Bai Xuemei, Professor of Urban Environment and Human Ecology at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University, to explore what we can learn from their experiences.

  • Is COP30 the moment climate governance finally shifts?

    Is COP30 the moment climate governance finally shifts?
    2025/11/20
    With COP30 in full swing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, in the city of Belém, Brazil, negotiators are once again debating critical issues: who will pay for climate action, especially adaptation, as extreme weather events become more frequent and their links to climate change increasingly clear? What responses should we put in place—and where are we headed as a global community? We’re seeing familiar agendas on the table, with heated arguments but only modest steps forward. Are COP meetings still relevant today? And how can we make better use of this global gathering? Fei Fei unpacks these questions with Teng Fei, Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy, Tsinghua University, and Antoine Oger, Executive Director at the Institute for European Environmental Policy based in Brussels.
