Crowd of climate activists at a protest holding hand-drawn signs, including one that says “There is no Planet B,” advocating for a thrivable lifestyle and environmental protection.

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

Busting Common Sustainability Myths through Thrivability

|

Common sustainability myths, such as the belief that recycling alone can solve the waste crisis or that carbon offsets fully neutralise emissions, create a false sense of progress while deeper systemic issues remain unaddressed. Many people strive to adopt sustainable living practices. They recycle, purchase eco-friendly products, and aim to reduce their carbon footprint. Yet

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,

How Waterway Pollution Fuels Extreme Weather and Climate Disasters

|

Introduction Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Extreme weather makes water scarce, less predictable, and more polluted (UN Water, n.d.). Waterway pollution is becoming a critical global concern as climate change intensifies extreme weather events. Storms, floods, and hurricanes are now more frequent and more destructive, placing immense pressure on natural and built water systems.

Interceptors: River Cleaning Systems

|

Approximately 1000 rivers worldwide contribute to the majority of ocean pollution (The Ocean Cleanup, 2021). Ocean pollution is a significant threat to marine life and ecosystem health, concerning the THRIVE Focus Foundational Factor (FFF) of Strong Sustainability. This FFF works towards creating an evironment that benefits nature. This pollution also impacts human health and recreational

Harnessing Nature: Stormwater Solutions for a Changing Climate

|

Introduction Nature is one of our greatest assets in addressing the challenges posed by climate change. As urban areas increasingly face the threat of flooding, it is essential that we turn to nature for solutions. Nature-based solutions such as green infrastructure offer effective, sustainable ways to manage stormwater while also delivering multiple benefits. These solutions

Air Pollution and the Regenerative Future: Why Clean Air Matters for Thrivability

|

Introduction Air pollution is a significant global problem, and human beings have contributed significantly to this issue. Air Quality Indices (AQI) around the world are showing unhealthy levels of pollution and particulate matter owing to the burning of fossil fuels and unhealthy practices such as mining (ABC, 2020). Some cities have such severe air pollution

Frozen But Alive: The Bacteria In Ice

|

Ice is widely used in beverages, food preservation, and medical applications. However, many people mistakenly assume that it is sterile. Research, however, shows that ice can harbour bacteria capable of surviving freezing temperatures. Freezing is a commonly used method for food preservation. However, harmful bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes
