The adoption of renewable energy (RE) technology in developing countries is significantly less than desired. We need to invest $1.7 trillion every year in developing countries — in 2022, ...
There is only 380 GtCO2 of carbon budget available to limit the Earth’s temperature increase by 1.5ºC by 2050 – a budget that, at the current pace, will be exceeded in just nine years.
Agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change, responsible for approximately 20% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and about 45% of total high-temperature absorbing me...
With the world facing major challenges such as climate change, inequality and hunger, we need sustainable development now more than ever – but it needs adequate financing.
Peatlands, called moors, mires or bogs, are terrestrial wetland ecosystems formed from partially decomposed carbon-rich organic matter. Peatlands cover about 3% of the surface of the Eart...
If net zero is to be achieved by 2050, the investment gap per year in the renewable energy sector in emerging and developing economies (EMDE) is $1.35 trillion. This massive gap is across...
Cities account for over 70% of global carbon emissions. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require rapid and far-reaching transitions in urban areas. It is heartening to see the recent...
The 2015 Paris Agreement recognizes that keeping the increase in global average temperature below 2°C from pre-industrial levels would significantly reduce the impact of climate change. I...
