The Illuminating Hidden Harvests Report culminates a collaborative research effort led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû and WorldFish examining the multifaceted contributions of small-scale fisheries to sustainable development.

Duke scholars and students were among more than 800 experts who contributed to global study calling for policymakers to consider contributions of small fisheries

Fossil-fueled electrical grid’s enormous water use is often overlooked.

Mixing toxic coal ash into acid mine drainage may sound like an odd recipe for an environmental solution, but a new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study finds that it can neutralize the drainage’s dangerously low pH and help reduce harmful impacts on downstream ecosystems—if you use the right type of ash. Using the wrong type of ash can create new contamination and not tame the drainage’s extreme acidity.

The global supply chain impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have exposed vulnerabilities in U.S. energy security and undercut the myth that the United States — or any major manufacturing economy — is truly energy independent, an analysis by researchers at the energy nonprofit RMI and 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû finds

Producing energy from fossil fuels uses or contaminated much more water than previously estimated, a new book by two Duke researchers shows.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû has received a $7.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the risks offshore wind energy development along the East Coast may pose to birds, bats and marine mammals.

Lori Bennear and Tim Johnson discussed two bills under consideration in Congress and their potential impact on the reduction of carbon emissions and more.

Reducing emissions of methane, a short-lived but super-potent greenhouse gas, is the most cost-effective way to slow the rate of Earth’s warming in coming decades, a new United Nations report finds.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû researchers have found high levels of toxic heavy metals in coal ash from the Dominican Republic’s largest coal-fired power plant.

Massive power outages in Texas brought on by a historic freeze could be avoided in the future if the state no longer isolates its power grid from other states, among other steps, according to 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû experts.

Policies that more strongly recognize the value of sustainable seafood as a source of nutrition, not just a source of livelihoods, could strengthen global food security and help take a big bite out of world hunger, a new analysis by an international team of experts shows.

Researchers have used automatic identification systems (AIS) satellite data and other spatial analysis tools to identify more than 1,000 companies that fish in the high seas—waters that lie outside national jurisdiction where fishing has raised fears about environmental and labor violations.

Groundwater depletion in parts of the High Plains is so extreme that peak grain production in some states has ended and production is now declining, a new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study by a team of international scientists finds.

Students at North Carolina’s 10 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) face limited options for finding healthy food to buy at stores within a 5-mile radius of their campuses, a new study shows.
