Explore the latest findings on carbon dioxide removal and the urgent need for scaling up efforts to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
Trees Struggle to Offset Carbon as Climate Warms
A groundbreaking study reveals that trees, our frontline warriors against carbon, are losing the battle in warmer, drier climates. As the planet heats up, the intricate dance between trees and carbon becomes a crucial factor in shaping our climate future.
Arctic Emits More Carbon
Delve into the intricate dance of carbon in the Arctic Ocean as thawing permafrost and runoff from the Mackenzie River challenge its status as a carbon sink. Explore the findings of a groundbreaking study that unravels the delicate balance and sheds light on the broader environmental changes in the region.
Mysterious Ocean Mineral Could Keep Earth Cool
Dive into MIT's groundbreaking discovery of smectite clays in ocean as potent carbon captors, uncovering their role in ancient climate mechanisms. Explore their potential as a solution to today's pressing climate crisis.
Richest 1% Emitted Carbon as Much as Two-Thirds of Humanity
The richest one per cent of the world's population emitted as much carbon in 2019 as the poorest two-thirds. With the UN climate summit looming, concerns mount over the achievability of the 1.5°C target for controlling global temperature rise, said new Oxfam report.
Emissions Gap Report Reveals Urgent Need for Global Action
In a sobering revelation, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) released the Emissions Gap Report 2023, painting a dire picture of our planet's climate trajectory. With global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions skyrocketing, the Broken Record report underscores the imperative for immediate and intensified climate action.
Billions Needed to Decarbonize Shipping Industry by 2050
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has issued a stark warning, stating that an additional $8 billion to $28 billion annually will be required to decarbonize the global shipping sector by 2050. Furthermore, substantial investments ranging from $28 billion to $90 billion annually will be necessary to develop infrastructure for 100% carbon-neutral fuels by the same deadline.
Challenges in Decarbonising the Road Freight Sector
Economic expansion and population growth are expected to drive higher demand for Road Freight, according to a recent study from the International Energy Agency. Moreover, the report finds that electric and fuel cell options are not always available or economically viable for the entire road freight sector.
Making Cities Greener Doesn’t Just Capture Carbon – It Reduces It
In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Sweden, the United States, and China have unveiled a path towards carbon neutrality for dozens of European cities within the next decade. Their findings demonstrate that by integrating nature into urban infrastructure, cities can not only capture carbon emissions but also significantly reduce them.
