Sustainability

Two out of five plants are threatened or endangered. Biodiversity is suffering and many foods may disappear from our menu in the future. Seed banks, in addition to storing seeds of different species in case worse comes to worst, are used to develop more resistant varieties.

Sustainable management of resources is essential to minimising the impact of climate change, and this must also apply to forests, whose health is of concern in view of the advance of deforestation. Specifically, the FAO states that forests should be harvested at a rate that maintains their biodiversity, productivity and regeneration capacity.

Cryptocurrency mining is a process that usually involves high energy consumption due to the complex levels of computation required. In order to minimise the carbon footprint associated with the first digital currencies such as Bitcoin, alternative models with a low environmental impact have been developed. These are known as green cryptocurrencies.

From wind and solar to nuclear and green hydrogen, we break down the different energy sources and explore their role in reducing emissions, creating jobs and driving energy independence.

Climate change is threatening food security all over the planet, and the same goes for water security. This concept can be defined as the capacity of a society to have enough adequate quality water available. It analyses the condition of surface water and subterranean aquifers and the use made of it with a territorial focus.

The carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions we release into the atmosphere not only worsen air quality, but also have an impact on the health of the oceans. Specifically, they cause a phenomenon known as acidification, which reduces the pH of the water, modifying its chemical composition and seriously affecting marine organisms. Solutions include reducing the use of fossil fuels in favour of renewable sources.

The paradigm shift in mobility, which advocates for electric vehicles that do not harm the environment, is driving the increasing spread of charging points. Thus, also known as electric charging stations are beginning to become an everyday reality in the landscape of cities and roads. Here we tell you how they work and the different types of charging they offer.
