The IRENA annual job review confirms the long-term growth trend in Brazil and China; strong political action is essential to ensure the continued expansion of employment in the COVID-19 era.

“The adoption of renewable energies in various countries like Brazil and China generates jobs and can increase local income in developed and developing energy markets,” said IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera.

Jobs in biofuels closely followed solar photovoltaics, with wind energy reaching 2.5 million. Many of these jobs are in the agricultural supply chain, especially in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, with labor-intensive operations.

Other major employers in the renewable energy sector are hydropower and wind industries, with about 2 million in China and 1.2 million jobs in Brazil, respectively.

Renewable jobs have shown more inclusion and a better gender balance than fossil fuels. The report highlights that women hold 32 percent of the total renewable jobs, compared to 21 percent in fossil fuel sectors.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

Small clay piece with 11 dots found in Guatemala may push back the history of numbers in Mesoamerica by 2,700 years and reveal that ancient civilizations were already recording identity, calendar, and counting centuries earlier than imagined.

While Brazil is still discussing infrastructure for electric vehicles, China operates a giant yard with hundreds of trucks, 216 plugs, 1.44 MW chargers, and 300,000 kWh delivered in a single day, showing how heavy recharging has already become a logistical routine.

7-seater SUV has become an alternative for those who need space without spending much, combining a 260 hp V6 engine, automatic transmission, and the size of a large utility vehicle for less than R$ 80,000: meet the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
