Carbon Brief explores which countries are or have targets to be net-negative, and the moral and scientific arguments for such a milestone.

We hebben het probleem onderschat. De gevolgen van de klimaatopwarming zijn erger dan oorspronkelijk werd ingeschat, aldus het laatste rapport van het VN Klimaatpanel (IPCC). Toch is het nog niet te laat. We weten gelukkig wat we moeten, maar er is haast bij. "Dit rapport is een overlevingskit voor de mensheid."

This full length briefing explains what Non-Economic Loss and Damage (NELD) is, why and how it happens, where it happens, who is most affected, and importantly how it can be addressed. Featuring case studies from both the Global North and South, the brief captures the latest thinking on NELD all in one place whilst acting as an accessible introduction for those new to the topic.

‘Loss and damage’ zal een veelgehoorde term zijn op COP27, de aankomende klimaattop in Egypte. Wat is dit mechanisme dat in het leven werd geroepen om te bepalen welke landen schade oplopen door de klimaatverandering – en welke vergoeding daar tegenover staat?

A wildfire racing across a hillside has become emblematic of climate change. And for good reason: a quarter of the world’s natural landscapes now face longer fire seasons as a result of warming and shifts to rainfall, according to a recent landmark climate report.

The best available evidence shows that, on the contrary, warming is likely to more or less stop once carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reach zero, meaning humans have the power to choose their climate future.

The persistent march of a warming climate is seen across a multitude of continuous, incremental changes. CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Ocean heat content. Global sea level rise. Each creeps up year after year, fuelled by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
