Authors call out governments and companies that continue “fuelling the fire” with continued investment in fossil fuels and subsidies, leading to all-time high energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, which are […] Continue reading -> Global Emissions Set to Fall 2.6% by 2030 – 40% Short of Paris Agreement Target 28/10/2024 Stefan Anderson Global climate plans will cut emissions by just 2.6% by 2030, falling 40% short of what’s needed to keep a future within the Paris agreement’s 1.5C goal alive, according to a report released Monday by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The combined emissions cut by the national climate plans, known as […] Continue reading -> Amid Grim New Climate Insights, Scientists Appeal for COP29 to Move from Talk to Implementation 28/10/2024 Kerry Cullinan Amid grim research showing global warming is happening faster than previously projected, scientists urged world leaders to move from talk to implementation of global agreements when they meet at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, next month.
