New research from the University of East Anglia shows that efforts to cut carbon emissions through decreased fossil fuel and energy use are beginning to pay off. A research team from the University of...
China could significantly increase solar power production if it fought smog more aggressively, according to a new study. If emissions from all sectors were eliminated, China could provide up to 128 terawatt hours of...
A new report by the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction sees huge untapped potential to reduce emissions in the global buildings and construction sector. Emissions from buildings and construction may have already peaked...
The EU must end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, a new report has shown. Unless the automotive industry drastically changes the European...
While less new coal-fired power plants are now being built in China and India, the planned expansion in the use of coal in fast-growing emerging economies, such as Turkey, Indonesia and Vietnam, will in...
Rising carbon emissions from global tourism will make it impossible to achieve the Paris climate targets, according to research from the Delft University of Technology. By 2100, the world’s population will be flying nine...
Cats and dogs are responsible for 25 to 30 per cent of the environmental impact of meat consumption in the United States, a new study has found. Pets’ meat-eating creates 64 million tonnes of...
The global energy sector can reduce its CO2 emissions by 70 per cent by 2050 and completely phase out fossil fuels by 2060, a new study from the International Renewable Energy Agency shows. The...
CO2 emissions were flat for a third year in a row even as the global economy grew, signalling clearly that it is possible to continue to decouple emissions from economic activity, argues the International...
A federal court in Eugene, Oregan is allowing 21 youth plaintiffs to proceed in their groundbreaking constitutional climate lawsuit against the Obama administration, federal agencies and the fossil fuel industry. The 21 plaintiffs are...
In an effort to reduce its dependence on Russia and lower its CO2 emissions, the EU is looking to boost its nuclear energy capacity. Germany made headlines in the immediate aftermath of Fukushima when...
Leading retail and logistics companies in Switzerland want to move freight transport underground and are pressing for a subway to transport goods between the country’s most important cities. Underground rail freight could lower CO2...
Cities are uniquely vulnerable to climate change, but they are also drivers of innovative mitigation and adaptation strategies. The outcome of COP21 will have a crucial impact on the future of cities. The New...
A company that turns dry, sandy soil into productive farmland using a fully organic mixture of clay and water has won this year’s ClimateLaunchpad competition, beating out 700 competitors from across 28 countries. Norwegian...
American scientists have developed a process to extricate atmospheric CO2 and convert it by means of solar energy into carbon nanofibers for industrial and consumer products. As Elke Bunge reports, the technology transforms climate...
Global carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million for the first time since measurements began, according to data collected from over 40 measuring stations around the world, putting pressure on...
A consortium led by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a new blend of cement that can reduce the carbon footprint of cement by up to 40 per cent. Applied...
