A new report from the Climate Council identifies ways to cut methane greenhouse emissions, almost two years after Australia signed a global pledge to reduce them.
You’ve probably heard the arguments against electric cars, but most of them are getting weaker as the technology, markets and infrastructure mature.
Determining the global average temperature on any given day is complex. It involves thousands of observations, high-tech equipment and sophisticated computer models.
A large-scale study proves that trees absorb methane through their bark, with climate benefits at a global scale.
Decarbonising shipping is more urgent than ever. But is a carbon tax the best way to achieve this? Wouldn’t it increase inequalities without sufficiently reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
If the fossil fuel industry tackles the methane leaks it generates before 2030, this could reduce global warming by 0.2°C by 2100.
Regardless of where in the world the oil would be burnt, local authorities must consider the greenhouse gas emissions before granting the planning permission.
New research has revealed the scale of the carbon-storage potential of the seabeds around Canada, conservation efforts must take this new data into account.
The most comprehensive assessment yet of a powerful greenhouse gas shows which countries are driving the increase, and which ones are successfully cutting emissions.
Around the world, coral reefs are suffering. But scientists in high-income nations are developing new ways to build coral resilience. We have a duty to share our skills and build capacity elsewhere.
Environmentalists have long been sceptical of carbon capture and storage, which began in the oil and gas industry. But there’s nothing else like it for storing emissions from industry.
Offsetting greenhouse gas emissions can be an effective tool for limiting global warming. But many offset projects fail to meet their GHG reduction targets.
The free ecoSwitch app takes the guesswork out of sustainable food choices, empowering consumers to take matters into their own hands.
The ruling could be a legal game-changer for small island nations that are trying to hold developed nations to account for the impacts of their greenhouse gas emissions.
The phrase ‘net zero’ has a long history.
A new report from the Transport Energy/Emission Research consultancy examines Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, finding it was weakened by late changes.
Baby corals may hold promise for building coral reef resilience in Seychelles and beyond.
Mosquito populations can respond quickly to changing climate, which means the location of areas at risk of malaria might change.
A tonne of carbon dioxide is released for every tonne of cement manufactured from limestone.
