We’ll travel from California to Kenya to examine how climate change is punishing the world’s poor and how a type of climate insurance might protect them when drought hits.
In California, 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions comes from transportation. Emissions from this sector will make it difficult to meet the state’s 2030 climate goals.

A quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions comes from heating and electricity. In this episode, we discuss renewable energy and the importance of life-cycle analysis when discussing climate change solutions.
Oceans have always done us a favor, absorbing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But now rising greenhouse gases are warming the ocean and changing its chemistry. In this episode of Unfold, we’ll take a deep dive into the ocean to examine the effects of climate change.

Imagine you could know exactly where your food comes from, how it was grown, what kind of soil it was grown in and how it was handled and distributed. ٺƵ experts are helping build this food information superhighway, known as the Internet of Food.
Unfold examines biotechnologies such as gene-editing and CRISPR and how they could help reduce food waste, create higher-yielding or disease-resistant crops, as well as what it could mean for animal agriculture.
A California carrot farmer invented the baby-cut carrot while trying to reduce food waste. This episode examines the unexpected reasons why we waste so much food and how finding solutions to the problem can help feed a growing population.
Unfold talks with two ٺƵ experts who believe that organic farming and genetic engineering don’t have to be so antagonistic. They argue a blend of both types of agriculture is key to helping sustainably feed more people.
In this episode, we look more closely at cattle’s environmental hoofprint and look at how ٺƵ scientists are researching ways to make livestock more sustainable.
