A podcast that helps you understand the fascinating chemistry hidden in your everyday life. Have you ever wondered why onions make you cry? Or how soap gets your hands clean? What really is margarine, or why do trees change colors in the fall? Melissa is a chemist, and to answer these questions she started a podcast, called Chemistry for your life! In each episode Melissa explains the chemistry behind one of life’s mysteries to Jam, who is definitely not a chemist, but she explains it in a way that is easy to understand, and totally fascinating. If you’re someone who loves learning new things, or who wonders about the way the world works, then give us a listen.

Workfare schemes, designed as an alternative to more traditional social benefit programmes, are increasingly popular in developing countries. India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), one of the world’s largest workfare programmes, has been celebrated for leading to increased wages in rural areas. Yet research by Bryce Millet Steinberg and Manisha Shah finds that the programme has unintended consequences for children. In this VoxDevTalk, Steinberg discusses how the research team used multiple household surveys to uncover how the scheme’s promise of wages leads to increased labour demand. In turn, this increases the opportunity cost of remaining in school, with particularly large consequences for adolescents. These findings suggest the value of pairing workfare programmes with complementary policies to incentivise human capital investment.

When it comes to climate change, one big question is how are ecosystems adapting to shifting weather patterns, heavier precipitation events, and hotter temperatures for longer periods of time? Are some plants better equipped to withstand these changes than others? And if yes, then why and how? Jacob Levine is a Wilkes Center Postdoctoral scholar here at the University of Utah. He is interested in how climate change is impacting plant ecosystems. Specifically, whe...

The market for carbon offsets is projected to be worth upward of $50 billion in 2030 as more businesses turn to the voluntary carbon market as a tool for meeting ambitious climate commitments and supporting decarbonization efforts. With carbon offsets and their projects becoming increasingly popular, the amount of different buzzwords and project types are increasing as well, so much so that it can be difficult to decide which project to support and understand the tangible and verifiable impact offsets have. After all, not all carbon offsets are created equally — but what does that actually mean? In the first of our five-part series, Demystifying the Carbon Market, we break down and answer a very important question: What is a High Quality Carbon Offset? The carbon market as a whole, and offsets’ place in it, can often feel overwhelming and confusing. With continued growth and investment into the voluntary carbon market, it’s important to understand where your money is going and how carbon projects are making a verifiable impact for the planet and its people. Other videos in the series will be released weekly and will cover topics including: Types of carbon projects How do I get started with carbon offsetting? Why are carbon prices inconsistent? The do’s and don’ts of carbon offsetting “What our climate needs right now is urgency. The voluntary carbon market provides an efficient mechanism to direct funds toward communities most impacted by climate change in the global south, and can help us accelerate the path toward climate change mitigation,” said Dee Lawrence, Co-Founder and Director of Cool Effect. “Over the past two decades, I’ve seen first-hand how truly transformational carbon finance can be for both the environment and communities in need, and we’re committed to sharing that knowledge with businesses and corporations who can support and extend that positive impact.

About Cool Effect: Cool Effect is a San Francisco Bay Area 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to reducing carbon emissions around the world. Endorsed by 1% for the Planet, its mission is to educate and then inspire businesses and individuals to take measurable action against climate change by purchasing scientifically verified carbon offsets from the world’s highest quality projects. It returns more than 90% of each donation directly to its project partners and, since its launch at the Paris COP in 2015, has helped projects receive compensation for three million tonnes of emission reductions. Like the Butterfly Effect, The Ripple Effect, and others, a single action can have global impact. To learn more, visit https://cooleffect.org.
