Dans une étude publiée ce mercredi 10 décembre, l’ONG Changing Markets révèle que les habits en plastique recyclé, vendus sous couvert de démarche écologique, libèrent en réalité davantage de microparticules au lavage.

Une analyse de l’ONG Changing Markets Foundation montre comment un réseau d’influenceurs a attaqué une étude d’envergure sur l’alimentation de 2019, perçue comme une menace pour les secteurs de l’élevage et de la viande.

Much attention today focuses on uncertainties affecting the future evolution of oil and natural gas demand, with less consideration given to how the supply picture could develop. However, understanding decline rates – the annual rate at which production declines from existing oil and gas fields – is crucial for assessing the outlook for oil and gas supply and, by extension, for market balances. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has long examined this issue, and a detailed understanding of decline rates is at the heart of IEA modelling and analysis, underpinning the insights provided by the scenarios in the World Energy Outlook. This new report – based on analysis of the production records of around 15 000 oil and gas fields around the world – explores the implications of accelerating decline rates, growing reliance on unconventional resources, and evolving project development patterns for the global oil and gas supply landscape, for energy security and for investment. It also provides regional insights

In this episode, I’m joined by ecologist Thomas Crowther to discuss the critical importance of biodiversity as an intricate web of life that supports all other living beings, not just through the sheer number of species, but because of the complexity of interactions within ecosystems. Thomas highlights the power of data in empowering individuals to make informed choices that positively impact nature, and the critical need to address inequality in order to foster ecological recovery.

Klimaatactiviste Mikaela Loach hoopt dat de herverkiezing van Donald Trump mensen wakker schudt en in beweging zet. Het enthousiasme waarmee Trump zijn kiezers kan overtuigen, wil ze graag ook zien in de klimaatbeweging. Geen enthousiasme voor fake news weliswaar, maar om mensen ervan te overtuigen dat een betere wereld mogelijk is.

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. Food systems are responsible for around a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, with approximately 60% coming from animal agriculture, the largest source of man-made methane emissions.

Jordanians now only have access to publicly distributed water a day and a half a week – prompting many to turn to illegal markets.

At a time when we need to shift our collective climate action up a gear, the influence of the fossil fuels lobby is succeeding in slowing down ambition both at COP27 and in the EU.

EUCityCalc has officially launched its free, open source online platform that allows local councils and other stakeholders to visualise and simulate low-carbon scenarios for their towns and cities, as well as to assess the trade-offs related to available choices.

The European Commission has received an open letter signed by 110 academics, businesses, civil society organisations and research institutions urging the EU to separate emissions reductions, land-based sequestration and permanent carbon removals in the EU’s post-2030 climate framework. This separation should be at the heart of both the setting and the implementation of the 2040 target and associated plans.
