It was a role widely regarded as the most prestigious position within its industry decades ago. But today, the responsibility of having to turn around Intel’s tech slump as a CEO is what many analysts are calling: the toughest job in the chip industry. So, does Lip-Bu Tan, the newly appointed CEO of Intel, have what it takes to restore the fortunes of a pioneering chipmaker? Find out with Dan Koh and Ryan Huang as they investigate Tan’s tech track record, and find out if Intel truly has what it takes to become a chip foundry.

Carbon offsets first took off in the 2000s when the UN launched the Clean Development Mechanism. For those who might not be familiar, carbon credits are intended to reduce, remove, or avoid emissions. But while the intentions are good for our planet, companies working to generate climate benefits through credit purchases often grapple with the differences and uncertainties of credit quality to ensure that those benefits are real.  Beyond differences, bad practice and questionable science in the voluntary carbon markets mean that firms relying on offsetting to hit net zero targets risk greenwashing. So, do carbon offset projects necessarily meet set targets, and can the results be reliably measured?  On this episode of Eco Money, Dr Ruipeng Liu, Senior Lecturer for the Finance Group at Deakin Business School shares his insights.

Over the years, scientists have linked climate change to rising sea levels, extreme weather and melting polar ice caps. But as the mercury rises, urban rat populations too are increasing. In the first research of its kind, scientists found that 11 of 16 cities studied had significant increasing trends in rat numbers, including Washington DC, New York, and Amsterdam. While the new study sheds light on the forces that may influence urban rat populations, cities remain highly complex environments. On this episode of Climate Connections, Dr Jonathan Richardson, Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of Richmond, who led the research, shares his insights.
