It’s absolutely necessary if we’re going to weather the inevitable crises we’ll continue to face

As President-elect Biden takes office, he will assume leadership of the U.S. government’s scientific enterprise that was once the envy of the world, but which has been battered and marginalized for the past four years. The Trump administration steadfastly refused to follow the lead of scientific experts during the COVID-19 crisis, promoting scam cures with no evidence and undermining public trust in measures like masks and social distancing. Their failure to heed the advice of experts has had predictably deadly effects: more than 300,000 dead Americans in the grim equivalent of a daily 9/11. Although hard to imagine, the assault on climate science and federal climate scientists has been even more severe. The Biden-Harris administration will face the unprecedented task of putting science befo
The 2015 Climate Agreement was a stimulus for reversing negative climate change, but achieving this requires even more effort and ambition. However, the result wil definitely be worth it. This was the conclusion reached by the participants of the webinar organized by EURACTIV.pl and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
The negotiations took many years, but on December 12th 2015, at the conclusion of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP21), the first such broad, universal and legally binding document was signed on climate issues in the world’s, which replaced the Kyoto Protocol from 1997.

When President Xi Jinping addressed the Climate Ambition Summit on December 12, he updated China s carbon targets for 2030, which came close on the heels of the September pledge to have carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
The new goals have been broken down into concrete steps China will take in the next 10 years. Carbon emissions will be cut by over 65 percent per 10,000 yuan ($1,520) of GDP from the 2005 level and non-fossil fuels will account for around 25 percent of the primary energy consumption. The forest stock volume will be upped by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level and wind and solar power generation capacity will be raised to at least 1,200 gigawatts.
