 https://www.irena.org/Digital-content/Digital-Story/2024/Jan/An-Unprecedented-Momentum-for-Renewables/detail The success of renewables is not only a story of records and data on energy progress. It is a story of a pivotal shift in the global energy priorities, culminating in the monumental acknowledgement by the governments around the world at COP28 that tripling renewables and doubling energy efficiency by 2030 is the most…

 A new wave of denial about climate change is on the rise even as there isgreater acknowledgment of human-caused global warming, a study of more than12,000 videos by a disinformation campaign group warns. The “newdenial” seeks to undermine confidence in green energy solutions, as wellas climate science and scientists, the research led by a group…

 Last year was the warmest since records began in the mid-1800s – andlikely for many thousands of years before. It was the first year in whichaverage global temperatures at the surface exceeded 1.5C abovepre-industrial levels in at least one global temperature dataset. Here,Carbon Brief examines the latest data across the oceans, atmosphere,cryosphere and surface temperature…

A boom in Chinese solar power construction drove another record-breakingyear of renewables growth in 2023, according to the International EnergyAgency (IEA). Carbon Brief analysis of figures in the IEA’s Renewables2023 report show that the world is now on track to build enough solar, windand other renewables over the next five years to power the equivalent…

Two Canadian nuclear refurbishment projects are in the top five of the largest public sector infrastructure projects currently under development in Canada, according to a newly published annual ranking. The annual Top100 Projects report, published by ReNew Canada magazine, features the 100 largest public sector infrastructure projects currently under development in the country ranked based on their confirmed…

From January 31st to February 2nd 2024, the 16th Annual Nuclear Deterrence Summit will take place in Washington, D.C. This summit brings together people

 On the Road(map) to Nowhere! Despite the Government’s recentre-announcement of a massive expansion of civil nuclear power, theBlackwater Against New Nuclear Group (BANNG) believes new nuclear atBradwell remains dead in the water. In future new nuclear power stationswill only be sited in ‘suitable locations’ identified by developersbased on a set of criteria. The Government also…

New paper claims unless demand for resources is reduced, many other innovations are just a sticking plaster  Record heat, record emissions, record fossil fuel consumption. One monthout from Cop28, the world is further than ever from reaching its collectiveclimate goals. At the root of all these problems, according to recentresearch, is the human “behavioural crisis”,…

 BANNG’s coordinator, Peter Banks, identifies the radioactive residuesthat lurk beneath the shiny cladding of the former Bradwell nuclear powerstation in the December 2023 column for Regional Life. The discoveries of extensive radioactive contamination around the site has triggered theimperative to keep potential intruders at bay, out of all the shinybuildings, including the radioactive waste store, and…

Cecilia Keating, 12 January 2024  The government's plan to relax planning rules in a bid to fast trackdevelopment of smaller nuclear reactors at more potential sites across theUK has been met with a mixed reaction from the green economy this week. While some have argued that eliminating siting restrictions fornext-generation nuclear technologies would help to fast-track…
