ESG bonds are increasingly accepted by compabies seeking to increase their sustainability credentials and profile.The sense of urgency about the effects of climate change is driving companies to alter their environmental and social footprints for investors to continue to hold them in their portfolios.
With the number of hydrogen projects and policies expanding rapidly around the world, hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented momentum.
Buildings and the construction industry are together responsible for 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions. At the same time, urban areas are growing faster than ever. By 2030, 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas. It’s more important than ever that buildings are built in a sustainable way with little to no impact on the environment
As climate change warms the world, we increasingly need to find ways to efficiently cool our buildings – whilst also lowering our emissions to attempt to halt the temperature rise as much as possible. Traditional air conditioners are a poor method of achieving either goal, but what if there was another way?
In a world where the climate is changing, how can a hotel building be transformed to net zero carbon? Is it even possible?
1. Research by Natural Climate Change, published in 2018, found that tourism’s global carbon footprint was four times higher than previously estimated, accounting for about 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
2. In fact, some of the biggest hotel chains have already adopted sustainable strategies to control their environmental impact.
3. Research by the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance found that the hotel industry needs to reduce its carbon emissions by 66% per room by 2030, and by 90% per room by 2050.

With global warming becoming a reality, drastic changes are occurring in temperatures globally. With 90% of modern lifestyle being spent indoors, buildings need to be climate-controlled and energy efficient, without the use of conventional energy sources (electricity) that cause carbon emissions. Passive design is an emerging approach to implement this. So, what is it exactly? …

Water Crisis The Global Impact And The Net-Zero Lifeboat Net positive water is not an academic notion anymore. Less than 0.007% of water available globally is fit to drink. Out of that ,the UN is currently predicting a 40% shortfall in all freshwater resources globally by 2030. As water shortages, overuse, and droughts surge, a global …
