TerraFixing is at the forefront of addressing climate change with its innovative and affordable Direct Air Carbon Capture (DAC) technology. This unique solution efficiently captures CO2 from the atmosphere, even in colder climates, helping to achieve global net-zero targets by reducing current emissions and addressing historical carbon footprints.

As global temperatures rise, the national security implications are significant for the Department of Defense. With extreme weather events costing over $2 trillion in the past decade, the U.S. Military views climate change as a pressing issue. By utilizing the 5-Teams (5T) Model, it aims to address climate risks and turn challenges into opportunities, ensuring the nation’s security remains resilient.

Manufacturing companies must document greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage, and hazardous materials handling due to new sustainability regulations. The SEC Climate Disclosure Rules require public companies to report emissions, and private manufacturers may also face pressure to disclose similar information, according to Marcel Minutola of Peritia LLC.

Quality professionals are using statistical tools, originally meant for product quality control, to tackle climate change. For example, control charts that monitor manufacturing variations are now tracking energy consumption, identifying spikes, and measuring carbon emissions.

To tackle the urgent crisis of climate change, we might benefit from leaders like W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, and Armand Feigenbaum. Their systematic approaches and focus on continuous improvement in quality management could offer valuable insights for achieving a sustainable future.

A paper released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) addresses the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change and the challenges posed by the global energy crisis. It emphasizes the need to improve energy efficiency in response to increased energy consumption worldwide.

The 1894 Horse Manure Crisis revealed the negative effects of rapid industrialization. Today, we can learn from past strategies to address the current climate crisis and promote a sustainable future.

In a world grappling with climate change, the push for sustainability has made electric vehicles (EVs) a popular choice. Some states are even phasing out gas engine vehicle sales by 2030/2035. However, considering the total impact of producing and operating EVs reveals a more complex picture.

This article embarks on an exploration of the implementation and ramifications of climate change integration within ISO standards, casting a spotlight on the transformative Net Zero Guidelines and the seamless assimilation of climate considerations into management systems standards.

The ISO Amendment was dropped in February 2024, surprising many. However, ISO had been working on this for years. For instance, ISO 14090:2019 Adaptation to Climate Change - Principles, Requirements, and Guidelines includes definitions related to the topic.
