![Happy Global Wind Day 2021! 💙 Celebrate with us the day for discovering wind energy, its power and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems.
Wind power, especially offshore wind, has become an object of fascination for governments worldwide, in a popularity rise that has exposed which countries will dominate the emerging wind power market, and which ones lag behind.
Why is offshore wind so appealing, and how important of a role will it play in achieving a zero-carbon energy future? 🌱

It is a day for discovering wind energy, its power and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems, decarbonise our economies and boost jobs and growth.
Major economies, like the UK, have pledged to cut their emissions to net-zero by mid-century, or like China, 2060. By 2035, renewable energy sources are going to account for more than half of global electricity production. But what will be powering this eco-friendly future?
Here are five of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources across the world and how they are being used!

Biocapacity serves as a lens, showing the capacity of the biosphere to regenerate and provide natural resources and services for life. It allows researchers to add up the competing human demands, which include natural resources, waste absorption, water renewal, and productive areas dedicated to urban uses.
Here, you see that Kuwait's Ecological Footprint is 5.3 times its biocapacity, meaning if we all lived like Kuwait we would need 5.3 Earths to satisfy the demand we put on the environment.

This is a beautiful shot of an octopus. Octopuses are sometimes known as chameleons of the ocean because of their ability to camouflage. They change their appearance to attract a mate, hide, or send a warning message. They can do so by sending a neural signal from their brain and the colour change literally just ripples through their bodies!

1. The Keystone XL oil pipeline, which was proposed in 2008 to bring oil from Canada’s Western tar sands to US refiners, was cancelled by owner TC Energy Corp.
2. For the first time, the G7 has targeted environmental crimes with the intention to push companies into disclosing their climate impact.
3. Atmospheric CO2 has reached its highest level in at least 4.5 million years; it is now at 419 ppm, which is driving dangerous heating around the world.
4. A new panel has been launched to improve understanding of how zoonotic diseases with the potential to trigger pandemics emerge and spread.
5. Illegal fishing is happening extensively in Argentina. Many ships turn off their satellite tracking systems to avoid detection.

The paper “Future of the human niche” by Chi Xu et al (2020) explains that mean annual temperatures above 29°C, currently only found in parts of the Sahara and Saudi Arabia, could expand far enough to affect 3 billion people.

Current conditions are primed for a brutal wildfire season, while farmers struggle to irrigate their crops. Of particular worry is the dwindling Colorado river, which, together with its tributaries, provides water to nearly 40 million people for municipal use, and supplies water to irrigate nearly 5.5 million acres of land.
