Through tools including "ESG" ratings, green bonds, and fossil fuel divestment, a growing number of investors are factoring risks from climate change into their choices about what assets to buy and sell.| MIT Climate Portal
Yes: although electric cars' batteries make them more carbon-intensive to manufacture than gas cars, they more than make up for it by driving much cleaner under nearly any conditions.| MIT Climate Portal
Wind energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, which today makes electricity at a lower average cost than any other form of new-built energy.| MIT Climate Portal
Solar energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, in which sunlight is turned into electricity, heat, or other forms of energy we can use.| MIT Climate Portal
Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe. It can be used as a fuel that does not produce greenhouse gases when burned.| MIT Climate Portal
Mining provides us with the building blocks of modern society, but much of the energy used to get minerals out of the ground, and process them, today comes from fossil fuels.| MIT Climate Portal
Energy storage is technology that holds energy at one time so it can be used at another time. Cheap and abundant energy storage is a key challenge for a low-carbon energy system.| MIT Climate Portal
Cities concentrate people into small areas for good reason, but this makes them major sources of greenhouse gases and uniquely vulnerable to climate risks.| MIT Climate Portal
It depends exactly where and how the battery is made—but when it comes to clean technologies like electric cars and solar power, even the dirtiest batteries emit less CO2 than using no battery at all.| MIT Climate Portal
Human-made fertilizers have greatly boosted crop production, letting farmers grow more food on less land. But this uptick in fertilizer use has come at a cost: planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.| MIT Climate Portal
