Five researchers shed new light on a key argument to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG): they provided the first economic analysis of conversion factors of other GHG like methane into their CO2 equivalent in overshoot scenarios. Although the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) considers settling for one value of reference (known as Common Metric ) to make this conversion among the Paris Agreement, the models presented here show the economic advantage of flexibility between various factors of conversion. A key notion in the UNFCCC is to reduce GHG emissions in the least costly way so as to ensure global benefits highlights Katsumasa Tanaka, primary author of the

As a country that sits at the heart of the hydrocarbon industry and has made significant investments in energy diversification domestically and around the globe, we have seen first-hand that there is now an unprecedented business case for the highest level of climate ambition – especially when it advances gender equality and empowers youth. COP28 will represent a pivotal moment t

G7 countries, in an effort to stem the effects of climate change, agree to stop funding for coal power projects that emit carbon by the end of 2021
Wyoming’s hopes to export Powder River Basin (PRB) coal to other nations as coal demand declines in the U.S. were dealt a major blow on Friday.
After a two-day meeting, G7 ministers for climate and environment committed to phase out all government-sponsored funding for coal-related projects emitting carbon by the end of the year.
