NASA scientists are actively engaged in discussions concerning global food security. Their unique expertise, often stemming from space exploration and Earth observation, provides valuable insights into this critical challenge.

These discussions likely explore how space-based technologies, such as satellite monitoring, can enhance agricultural practices, predict crop yields, and manage resources more effectively. Furthermore, research into sustainable food systems for long-duration space missions offers potential solutions applicable to terrestrial food production, addressing future food needs.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) documented the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) microgrid, a leading example of a locally controlled electricity network interconnected with the larger grid. This system manages 42 megawatts of generating capacity, comprising a central cogeneration plant, solar photovoltaic installations, and a fuel cell utilizing natural gas reclaimed from a landfill.

RMI seeks to identify and amplify solutions capable of transforming the electricity system. Learn more about their work at http://www.rmi.org/electricity.

The "Race for American Jobs: Clean Energy Leadership" was a four-week, coast-to-coast virtual campaign by BICEP, in partnership with We Can Lead. It aimed to highlight the economic and job-creation benefits of national climate and energy legislation, advocating for investment in a low-carbon economy and establishing a carbon price.

The campaign engaged business leaders nationwide through events in Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, and New Hampshire, concluding in Washington on March 10. Each event featured panel discussions with major consumer brands and local clean economy entrepreneurs, contributing to thought leadership in Sustainability, Clean Tech, and Energy in 2010.

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision further stripped federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to destruction.

This loss devastates biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands, with over a third living exclusively there. Wetlands also protect water quality and mitigate flood risks. Act now: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.

The Climate & Health Meeting, moderated by Howard Frumkin (University of Washington), convened experts to discuss critical aspects of climate change and health. Key presentations included George Luber (CDC) on adaptation, Catherine Flowers (Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise) on vulnerable populations, and Clifford Mitchell (Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene) on public health agencies' roles at state and local levels.

Additional sessions featured Gary Cohen (Health Care Without Harm) addressing the healthcare sector's role, and Nick Watts (Lancet Countdown and UK Health Alliance on Climate Change) presenting via video on tracking progress. For more details, visit climaterealityproject.org.
