Ocelots: The Night-time Battle for Survival

|

Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are small- to medium-sized felines found from the south of North America down through South America, extending to islands off the coast (ISEC, 2025). Ocelots are listed as endangered in North America, with population sizes unknown across parts of their range. They are prized for their coats, which feature a unique spotted […]

Innovating Sanitation Infrastructure for Thrivable Living

|

Innovating sanitation infrastructure is essential for creating sustainable living environments (Govindaswamy & Rangappa, 2023). Modern systems go beyond mere waste disposal; they help conserve water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect public health (WHO, n.d.). By integrating new technologies such as water recycling, renewable energy, and decentralised treatment, we can build resilient solutions that serve

Climate Mitigation and Adaptation: Why We Need Both

|

The False Choice: Why climate Mitigation and Adaptation Are Not Either/Or Climate mitigation and adaptation are often framed as the two dominant pillars of climate response. Mitigation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow future climate change. Adaptation seeks to cope with the disruptions that are already occurring. These strategies are interdependent; neither is

Australia’s Transition to Energy-Efficient Houses

|

The Situation The global recognition of the urgent need to address climate change has shed light on the inadequacy of Australian housing standards and the need to improve the minimum requirements of Australian buildings. Compared to international best practices, Australian homes are falling behind in terms of energy efficiency. By improving building energy efficiency, we

Making Your Home Planet-Friendly Rather Than Climate Smart

|

A planet-friendly home is far more than a collection of energy-efficient appliances or well-insulated walls. While the label “climate smart” has become a popular shorthand for homes that cut utility bills and emissions, it often masks a narrow focus on reactive, efficiency-driven tweaks that merely slow environmental harm (Wester, 2022). These measures do not address

Impact of Climate Change on a Thrivable Lifestyle

|

A thrivable lifestyle presents a transformative alternative to conventional sustainability approaches, as climate change continues to disrupt ecosystems, economies, and daily life across the globe. Its effects are profound and accelerating on every continent. Unlike sustainability, which focuses on reducing harm, a thrivable lifestyle emphasises regeneration, creativity, and co-flourishing across all life systems. It promotes

Impacts of Ocean Acidification: A Growing Threat to Marine Life and Biodiversity

|

Introduction The rising level of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has disastrous effects on the climate and Earth’s largest ecosystem, the ocean. 30% of current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere are absorbed by the oceans (Shadwick et al., 2023). Thus, substantially moderates the effects of climate change globally. However, it causes a

Climate Change and Its Impact on Vector-Borne diseases in Africa

|

Introduction Climate change is one of the most urgent health threats of the 21st century. It drives environmental shifts that directly harm human health. Occurrences of vector-borne diseases are rising rapidly and account for many newly emerging infectious diseases (Swei et al., 2020). Vector-borne diseases are infections transmitted by blood-feeding insects such as mosquitoes, ticks,

Thrivability in Action: Clean Technologies and Circular Resources for a Regenerative Future

|

Introduction In the global shift toward a regenerative future, thrivability reframes sustainability, not as preservation, but as regeneration. This article explores how clean technologies transform industries, such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar, and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), alongside circular strategies like battery and solar panel recycling. These innovations advance renewable energy, cut emissions, restore ecosystems,
