Science and innovation will be critical in providing the answers we’ll need this decade to prevent global warming to 1.5°C, as set out in the Paris Agreement.
Today (Tuesday, November 9) at COP26, scientists and innovators will demonstrate how science and innovation can help accomplish urgent climate action.
Let us look at five sustainable innovations, ranging from microwave-powered boilers to bladeless wind turbines, that could revolutionize how we interact with our environment in the face of the climate crisis.
Bladeless Wind Turbines

A heat pump is a heating system that works like a reverse air conditioner, using the ambient heat in the environment to produce hot water. A solar hot water heater uses the direct and indirect solar radiation of the sun to heat water. This type of water heater comes in different configurations, such as ground-mounted and roof-mounted. Heaters like this are also called solar thermal systems. Both hot heating systems can be used to heat pool water.
Although the heat pump and solar water heating system are both efficient and cost-…
