Futoshi Tachino's Environmental Show

At high tide on Fogafale—the long, thin islet that holds Tuvalu’s capital—you can stand on the lagoon shore and see the ocean through the breadfruit trees behind you. There isn’t much “away” in a place only a couple of meters above sea level. So Tuvalu has done something extraordinary: it is building a future on three layers at once—physical, legal-human, and digital—so that Tuvaluans can keep bei...

On Tasmania’s east coast, the tides in Spring Bay don’t just bring boats to harbor; they feed a farm. Here, Sea Forest cultivates a native red seaweed, Asparagopsis, that—when fed in tiny amounts to cows—can throttle the methane produced in their stomachs. It’s a climate fix born of the shoreline and aimed squarely at one of Oceania’s knottiest problems: livestock emissions. In both Australia and...

In Kenya’s Rift Valley, the ground exhales. Around Naivasha, at a place called Olkaria, wells tap rock-hot water and steam that have already helped Kenya become Africa’s geothermal leader—and one of the few countries where clean, firm power anchors the grid. Recent analyses put geothermal’s share of Kenya’s electricity around the mid-40s, with some reports citing roughly 47 percent in 2024. That m...

In Europe’s busiest river mouth, Rotterdam has learned to treat water as both antagonist and ally. The city’s climate playbook reads like delta pragmatism: keep the surge out, make room for the rain, reuse the heat, stash the carbon, and choreograph daily life so the low-carbon choice is the easy one. It’s a system, not a showpiece—barriers and basins, blue-green roofs and hot-water pipes, all pul...

In the Anti-Atlas mountains of southwest Morocco, fog rolls inland from the Atlantic and clings to ridgelines above the Amazigh (Berber) communities of Aït Baamrane. For decades, that fog was little more than a damp inconvenience in a place short on rain and poorer still in pipes. Then a local NGO, Dar Si Hmad, turned it into a municipal water source—stringing engineered meshes along a windy ridge...

In a tidal capital built on marsh and chalk, London treats water and heat as a connected system. The working recipe: hold back the surge, make space for cloudbursts, clean the river, share heat and cooling, and pilot carbon capture where electrification can’t yet carry the load. It’s everyday infrastructure with civic side-effects—walkable embankments, cooler homes, cleaner water. (Environment Age...

In a city built on islands and inlets, the wind off the Øresund smells faintly of salt and cycling grease. Copenhagen’s answer to climate change is not a single icon so much as a choreography: heat the homes with shared pipes, cool the business core with seawater, turn rainstorms into parks, and turn trash into watts—then capture the carbon on the way out. The system hums in buried mains and pump...

In equatorial Singapore, the late-afternoon thunderheads pile up like mountains, then dissolve into warm rain that runs from green roofs to canals and finally to the sea. The city’s response to climate change is not a single showpiece but an interlocking loop: cool the homes, power the water, harden the shores, and close the carbon cycle. The hum here is chilled water in buried pipes, biogas in co...

On a muggy midsummer afternoon in Japan, the cicadas of Kanagawa Prefecture raise their familiar chorus, yet the hum that truly defines the skyline comes from rooftops sparkling with photovoltaics and from battery arrays quietly balancing loads behind closed doors. Here, ecological hope is not an abstraction: the Japanese tradition of meticulous engineering meets an urgency carved by typhoons, ear...

Gaza is where climate vulnerability collides head‑on with political blockade. A joint World Water Day press release from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and the Palestinian Water Authority notes that 97 percent of water pumped from the Strip’s coastal aquifer fails World Health Organization standards—leaving most families to scrape by on as little as 3 to 15 litres a day (PCBS & P...
