Teck Resources’ decision to cancel its oilsands project is a blow to Trudeau’s government.
Energy-efficiency initiatives are consistently identified as the lowest impact and most cost-effective means of meeting energy needs. Why isn’t Ontario focusing on them?
Waste-free by 2035 in Indonesia is doable through three strategies to reduce food waste.
Making ammonia produces almost 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
The case for carbon pricing is not as ironclad as the case for climate action.
Carbon accounting isn’t always simple, so it’s important to make it easier to measure and reduce emissions at the local level. And that’s ultimately the starting point for global climate action.
The global warming potential of different greenhouse gases is often poorly understood, distorting which are the biggest concern.
Social tipping interventions have the potential to pave the way for rapid change and avert climate change.
The UK’s official climate advisor recommends up to 50,000 hectares of new woodland each year by 2050.
Supply chains can amount to four times an organisation’s own operational carbon footprint.
Researchers found that palm oil plantations up to five years old were more harmful to the climate than already established ones.
A technological arms race in the 80s resulted in a world-first solar cell, that today underpins half the world’s solar power.
An innovative method of carbon capture and storage could substantially reduce the emission of small industries while using geothermal energy to heat homes and thus replacing fossil-fuel energies.
Real Christmas trees may be in short supply this year thanks to the 2008 economic downturn, climate change and insect infestations.
The Indonesian government has been distributing funds for village development. In 2019, the money can also be used for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Sport tips for the Ontario government on how to make good climate change policy.
Countries still figure out their emissions by adding up all the sources, rather than measuring what’s actually in the air.
Traffic congestion causes more problems than just being stuck in traffic. There are real effects on the health, quality of life and wallets of taxpayers.
Globally, emissions from air travel account for only about 3% of the warming human activities are causing, but aviation affects our climate in a number of ways.
