Carbon Brief
China’s CO2 emissions fell by 3% in March 2024, ending a 14-month surge that began when the economy reopened after the nation’s “zero-Covid”
Over the past year, there has been a vigorous debate among scientists – and more broadly – about whether global warming is “accelerating”.
Carbon Brief explores which countries are or have targets to be net-negative, and the moral and scientific arguments for such a milestone.
Analyse · La responsabilité historique du changement climatique est radicalement modifiée lorsque l’on tient compte des émissions de CO2 générées par les anciennes puissances coloniales dans les territoires qu’elles contrôlaient. L’Europe a ainsi un impact beaucoup plus important que ne le laissent penser les modes de calcul actuels.
Global carbon dioxide emissions from energy use and industry could peak as soon as this year, according to Carbon Brief analysis of figures from the IEA.
Le gouvernement de Rishi Sunak remet en cause les engagements pris par le pays. La fin du consensus sur la neutralité carbone?
Hopes of the UK government meeting its domestic and international climate targets have “worsened” over the past year, according to the CCC.
Almost every country in the world has signed up to the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping warming well-below 2C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5C.
From deadly floods in Nigeria to devastating drought in Somalia, Africa has faced a run of severe – and sometimes unprecedented – extreme weather events since the start of 2022. But while the US hurricane season and 40C heat in the UK have captured headlines, many of Africa’s most extreme and life-changing weather events went largely unreported in global-north media.
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.
Les législateurs de la commission de l’environnement (ENVI) du Parlement européen ont voté sur une révision majeure du marché du carbone de l’Union européenne la semaine dernière, mais la route sera longue et pourrait bien être semée d’embûches avant que les législateurs européens ne finalisent un accord.
le profil carbone de la France: In this country profile, Carbon Brief examines the state of climate and energy policies in France, a major emitter that nevertheless relies on fossil fuels less than any other industrialised nation.
The Keeling Curve is an iconic graph showing how levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) have been building up in the atmosphere, driving an increase in global temperatures.
People born in 2020 will have to face between two and seven times more extreme climate-related events over their lifetimes than people born in 1960, according to estimates from a new study.
While the early months of 2021 have been cooler than much of the past decade, global temperatures have risen in recent months as the effects of La Niña have started to fade.
Those are the key findings of Global Energy Monitor’s first comprehensive survey of global coal mine proposals, based on data from our new Global Coal Mine Tracker. We found more than 400 new mine proposals that could produce 2,277m tonnes per annum (Mtpa), of which 614Mtpa are already being developed. The plans are heavily concentrated in a few coal-rich regions across China, Australia, India and Russia.
Les médias affirment souvent que le monde est confronté à un “réchauffement déjà acté pour l’avenir” en raison des émissions passées, ce qui signifie que des températures plus élevées sont “verrouillées”, “sur les rails” ou “inévitables”, quels que soient les choix de société pris aujourd’hui.
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.
Mapped: How climate change affects extreme weather around the world
Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased from pre-industrial levels of 280 parts per million (ppm) to around 416ppm today. Without actions to reduce emissions, concentrations are likely to reach 560ppm – double pre-industrial levels – around the year 2060.
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.
Worldwide tourism accounted for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions from 2009 to 2013, new research finds, making the sector a bigger polluter than the construction industry.
