Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said.

Limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C is essential for avoiding the worst climate change impacts, but doing so requires cutting emissions 42% by 2030 and 56% by 2035. Current policies alone will achieve less than a 1% reduction.

La Commission européenne s’est réjouie jeudi 31 octobre d’une baisse des émissions nettes de gaz à effet de serre de 8,3 % en 2023 dans l’UE, par rapport à l’année précédente, grâce au développement des énergies renouvelables.

This report reveals the tactics of Big Meat and Dairy companies to delay, distract, and derail action on transforming the food system, mirroring strategies used by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries.

Carbon credits and offsets do not have a great record but the funds they raise are a vital part in fight against deforestation

Carbon offsets can help achieve emissions goals, some experts argue, while others say they are actively dangerous

Investigation into Verra carbon standard finds most are ‘phantom credits’ and may worsen global heating
