Wealthy nations will need to help fund clean energy, green industrial growth and mineral processing.
There are ways to reduce emissions without sacrificing yield. A new study shows how, and looks at a technique billed as ‘climate-friendly’ that makes emissions worse.
Some countries are calling for the elimination of a process known as “investor-state dispute settlement”.
Wars release massive emissions, and they are being generated with no formal mechanism to record them, and no accountability for the climate costs that affect people in conflict zones and far beyond.
Extreme heat is a huge threat to health, work and food security across southern Africa.
If global healthcare were a country, it would be one of the world’s top five greenhouse gas emitters.
By 2100, rural African dwellers will be exposed to dangerous levels of heat nearly twice as high as those in urban areas.
The answer has to do with the air we breathe and that bright white snowpack, as an atmospheric scientist in Colorado explains.
Solar cycles, sea ice and rising electricity use all play a role. So does an unhealthy surprise that has been quietly hiding a large amount of global warming – until now.
Behind the long-term climate projections that affect our lives sits one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era.
Policy frameworks shaping farming in the EU and beyond are suffering from funding misalignment and fragmented priorities, resulting in ineffective global climate efforts.
Huge efficiency gains are available to airlines, without any new technologies – new study.
Some tout wetland drainage as providing numerous benefits, including reducing emissions. This assertion is not supported by science.
