Sustainability is a big word. These 14 letters have the power to enlighten, engage, and enrage in equal measure. For some, it's an afterthought. For others, the only thought.

The night is dark and full of wonders. This could be the tagline for a wintery city in the north of Sweden.

It comes as no surprise that SUVs are everywhere. As one of the world's highest-selling car models, there's lots to love about the versatile and practical Sports Utility Vehicle. From ferrying kids to soccer practice to scaling rocky off-road mountain passes in Central Asia, every location, destination, and occupation has a need for large, practical, and safe vehicles. But their popularity comes at a price. Because the world's favourite car type just so happens to be one of the world's biggest contributors to CO2e emissions.
