Thanks to 鄭宏松 for sharing the sweetness of Taiwan's native honeybees, which are more adapted to higher altitudes and cold temperatures than their introduced European counterparts. Had a lot of fun doing this piece 🐝

My latest film for BBC Panorama is out now. We investigate carbon credit projects around the world and raise questions about how big brands like Netflix Shell & British Airways are using credits to meet their #NetZero and #CarbonNeutral targets.

Thanks to everyone who…

Love using a visual metaphor (green and blue caterpillars racing on the beach) to illustrate a complex/boring issue (Taiwan's two main political parties each trying to get their opposing nuclear energy policy over the line)

It is truly absurd how many 'sustainability' awards China Petroleum Corporation gets and everyone acts like it's perfectly normal. Well done 綠色公民行動聯盟 for calling it out

With no rain for several months in many areas of Thailand and a record breaking heatwave, a rain-making ceremony was held. Traditionally, a real cat would be used, but it seems the locals decided on Doraemon instead—a modern twist against animal cruelty.

皇帝殿 & environs, and a big-eyed ratsnake whose terrifically based mandarin name 過山刀 means knife going through the mountains

Schools across the Philippines are suspending classes as extreme heat sweeps through Asia.

The scenes of flooding in Kenya are heartbreaking. Climate change is not a distant threat; it's here, affecting our lives today. Lives and livelihoods are being lost each day. Urgent action is needed to address this crisis. We need to further localize climate issues and response…

Here's my report on the anti-nuclear demonstration today, marking ten years since 427--can't believe it's been ten years. Still here, somehow, though not as young maybe

Finally got my first earthquake alert since April 3rd after literally hundreds of tremors 🥹

The best part about this piece is probably the third guy who says 'coal plant... air pollution... not good' through a mouthful of betel nut

TSMC makes the world’s most advanced chips in Taiwan. Geopolitical shifts are pushing it to set up a new factory in the American desert.

It needs to bring its cutting-edge tech but also a notoriously harsh, military-style work culture to the U.S. 🧵

As tensions in the South China Sea heated up, I headed out to Thitu Island, in the Spratlys, on one of the most interesting reporting trips I've ever done.

I had one question: what is it like to live on a tiny, contested island?

Foxconn finally commits to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2040. A big deal for the world's largest electronics manufacturer, but a late deadline compared to clients like Apple & Google. (RE100 should be taken w handful of salt though) foxconn.com/zh-tw/press-ce…

A new record has been set in Northern Japan. Several places in Hokkaido had highs of ≧25°C Sunday, marking the earliest occurrence in the island's recorded history. Ikeda reached 26.4°C, a significant deviation of 15°C above the norm, surpassing even mid-summer average temps.

Surprise, surprise: the PRC's Cosco megaport in Peru, set to be 'the gateway' between Asia and South America when it opens in November, is already failing the local community of Chancay.

Snippets from 大甲媽祖 on the road in Changhua county. Stayed for the sweaty oppressive heat, skipped the nighttime 竹聯幫 fights.
