Vienna has a way to make massive amounts of affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing. Only on NPR ⤵️📻🎧 https://t.co/ueGD1XDrOH

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time.

#China & #USA world's two biggest polluters. #Trump has called climate change a hoax and federal investments a "green new scam". Different story in China. #Beijing plans to be at forefront of manufacturing climate solutions–selling them around the globe.

As a new Trump administration signals a retreat on climate action, China is stepping up. China is the biggest producer of climate technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels.

When Mary Ann Roser and her husband moved from Austin to Asheville 4 (!) months ago, they introduced themselves to new neighbors as “climate refugees from Austin". She + others who moved to Asheville looking for a "climate haven" now have thoughts. 📻 ⬇️

We interviewed people who recently moved to Asheville fleeing heat and wildfires, looking for a "climate haven". (Also interviewed the Asheville real estate broker in this video). Find out what they say now after the death and destruction of Helene 📻⤵️

Here's a story we did at NPR five months ago ;) about Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who were inspired by a sci-fi novel and are taking sulfur dioxide, launching balloons and trying to cool Earth. (Yes, I was coughing so much that I called poison control) https://t.co/ut28IpPUFe

In a parking lot and on San Francisco Bay, NPR witnesses two different tests for solar geoengineering to tackle climate change. With much science unsettled, experts say regulations aren't keeping up.

Totally, @juliaradio overdelivered on NPR’s food-climate stories! (1), a level-headed, evidence-based regenerative agriculture explainer (we need more of these), and (2) a deeply reported story on the wacky gender politics of meat.

Climate researchers have long grappled with how to get Americans to eat less beef, a food with a huge global warming impact. Now some are thinking about it through the lens of gender.

“It is a common myth that you don't get enough protein without eating meat,” says Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Great story on the overlap of red meat, men, climate, and the culture wars:
