As Arctic sea ice vanishes at alarming rates, startup Real Ice deploys pumps to spray seawater onto thinning ice sheets, aiming to create thicker, longer-lasting ice. This controversial geoengineering approach faces scientific skepticism about scalability and environmental impact.

Google DeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations leverages advanced AI to transform satellite data into a 'virtual satellite' that tracks environmental changes down to 10-meter accuracy. This breakthrough aims to guide sustainable decisions, from optimizing crop yields to identifying resilient locations for infrastructure, by analyzing air quality, groundwater, and human impact globally.

Indonesian startup Recoolit is tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—super-pollutants from air conditioners that are thousands of times more potent than CO2—by capturing and destroying them. With Google's backing, their carbon credit model incentivizes technicians to prevent these gases from leaking into the atmosphere, addressing a critical gap in climate policy enforcement across developing nations.
