Indian researchers propose using a type of algae as a source of biofuel — which could then be 'milked' from specially-designed solar panels.

Jatropha will not be saving the world anytime soon, say researchers, but it could work in local biofuel projects in developing countries.

Climate change is a reality in developing regions, who say the international community must not neglect better adaptation strategies.

Hannah Chalmers gives the low-down on how reducing emissions from deforestation can play a central role in tackling climate change.

Remote sensing is crucial for getting the measure of forest loss. Countries don't need their own satellites but they do need training.

Locking carbon away as charcoal in the soil could help to mitigate climate change but whether it will work in practice remains a mystery.

Using low-soot stoves in Africa and Asia would cut levels of black carbon, which warms the atmosphere.

Growing forests might be easy but getting developing-country forests onto the carbon market is proving more difficult.

Yvo de Boer, the UN climate chief, speaks to SciDev.Net about getting clean technology into the developing world.

Climate change threatens food crops across the world. Now scientists are re-focusing their efforts on crop resilience, rather than yields.
