A group of agricultural and soil scientists has serious concerns about the way credits are awarded for soil carbon sequestration in Australia.
A new report explores options for managing the period after global warming exceeds 1.5°C. This is called ‘climate overshoot’, because we’re pushing past the safe zone into dangerous climate change.
Carbon offsetting is often met with scepticism, but a new report suggests that if correctly designed it can be an important part of the net zero transition.
Our research shows the best changes individuals can make to cut carbon emissions and reduce the effects of climate change.
The current estimate is that Earth would warm by 1.5°C to 4.5°C if emissions were to double on pre-industrial levels. The range has remained stubbornly wide, despite improved climate modelling.
A period of high fossil fuel prices has mixed implications.
This is a transcript of part 1 of Climate Fight: the world’s biggest negotiation, a series from The Anthill podcast.
From 3D printing using plastic waste to growing cherry trees in the Himalayas, young people are not sitting idle while the world burns.
Haiti is extremely vulnerable to climate change. It is also very poor. International donors have stepped in to help the country fund climate mitigation, but is the money going where it’s most needed?
The UN climate talks are being held in a nation dominated by cheap coal.
We are on track to reach 1.5°C of global warming within 16 years according to new data.
The $4 billion that foundations are pledging to spend within five years amounts to less than 1 percent of what businesses and governments spend on global warming every year.
The results of a study that measured public responses to a policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions contradict a common environmental concern.
Donald Trump claims his administration has carried out an “all-out effort” in preparing for the effects of climate change. Nothing could be further from the truth.
It’s a good thing that cities aspire to lead the way in acting on climate change in the absence of stronger national action. But a closer look reveals the limitations of current city-based efforts.
International problems and local policies are integrally interwoven, whether the nationalists in Washington like it or not.
Talk of adapting to climate change is less polarizing to conservatives than the idea of slashing emissions.
Future population growth is expected to take place almost entirely in cities. We won’t fight climate change without them.
Lee: ‘Business will be far from usual in a world of four, five or six degrees of warming.’
