Sustainably farmed oysters, mussels and clams are good choices when it comes to climate-friendly seafood, pairing high nutritional value with a low carbon footprint that includes benefits to the marine ecosystem.

Nuclear energy made a big splash at the UN climate meeting in Dubai with a declaration by 22 countries calling for a tripling of nuclear energy by 2050. It seems like an impressive and urgent call to arms. On closer inspection, however, the numbers don’t work out.
