Brands have a powerful field of influence on sustainability, and digital packaging innovation offers a chance to lead by example, according to Jose 'Pepe' Gorbea from HP Graphic Arts. It's fair to say that most of us wanted to have superpowers when we were children.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

We should claim back our food heritage and fight climate change with nutritious foods that benefit the soils we're rapidly depleting, argues Bold Beans founder Amelia Christie-Miller. We must grasp the opportunity that the National Food Strategy provides. If the government acts decisively, we can tackle the three pronged challenges of climate change mitigation, biodiversity net gain and the obesity crisis.
