@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialThis summer, over 200 students built real-world skills through sustainability internships offered by Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability programs and university partners. stanford.io/3ViCa88
@stanforddoerr.bsky.social@natcapalliance.bsky.social worked with the Bhutan government to calculate GEP and will continue to support their National Statistics Bureau to apply the metric in policy and finance decisions.
NatCap is based in part in the Doerr School of Sustainability’s @woods.stanford.edu.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialA major milestone in valuing nature’s benefits to people: Bhutan has become the first country to adopt “gross ecosystem product” at the national level. stanford.io/4ydXOsv
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialRecent heat waves in Europe have been intensified by greenhouse gases emitted since 2015, according to a new study. The findings emphasize the need to prepare for extreme weather alongside global emissions reductions. stanford.io/4znCL7l
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialWildfires can turn natural metals in soil into toxic, airborne particles. Stanford researchers are working to predict where these metals travel and warn people in harm’s way. stanford.io/4xWGB6S

@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialIt’s National Postdoc Appreciation Week ⭐ We’re celebrating the nearly 120 postdoctoral scholars across the school who conduct rigorous research, serve as mentors to students, and help advance knowledge, solutions, and impact for a thriving future.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.social☀️ This summer, our research and educational programs reached: 52 local high school students 18 senior executives & board members from around the world 82 undergrads from Stanford & other U.S. institutions Part of our commitment to expanding educational opportunities at Stanford and worldwide.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialThe rare discovery has found its way to the Doerr School of Sustainability, where it will be studied to determine its exact age and 3D printed for public outreach and education.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialHow can countries in Southeast Asia prioritize sustainable economic development? A report from the new Center for Sustainability in Southeast Asia, part of the Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy, outlines six strategies.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialGabrielle Wong-Parodi, Gorlé, and other collaborators are also studying the human side of the solution. They’ve interviewed residents without air conditioning about ideas to maximize cooling, which could inform proactive approaches in design and regulation.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialResearch spotlight: Catherine Gorlé studies how wind and heat flow through city blocks and buildings, helping architects, city planners, and policymakers use natural ventilation to cool buildings efficiently.

@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialAs a surprising side benefit, the process also produces high-quality graphite that could potentially be used for batteries and other technologies.
@stanforddoerr.bsky.socialProducing hydrogen is essential for some of the world’s biggest industrial and agricultural needs, but most of it is produced through processes that release large amounts of CO2. Researchers have now developed a way to make hydrogen that significantly cuts carbon emissions and increases efficiency.
