The European Union (EU) has formally announced the implementation of the Carbon Boundary Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to members of the WTO Committee on Trade and Environment. The CBAM or carbon tax is seen as a protectionist move by Europe and is feared to affect India's $8 billion worth of exports. especially the steel and aluminum sector. The mint said the controversial law could increase trade tensions between India and the EU.

If you enjoy exploring nature, there's a good chance you're an eco-conscious person who appreciates green spaces and wild places and would rather see them stay the way they are than be destroyed by climate change. If so, in this article we offer you seven ways to reduce your carbon footprint so that future generations can enjoy the same trails as you. On second thought, you might think that hiking and camping are very low-impact activities. , which do not negatively affect the natural environment too much. In fact, some scientific reports (external link) have provided evidence that the carbon footprint of participants in active outdoor sports can be significantly (up to 40 %) greater than those involved in conventional team sports.

A senior United Arab Emirates official says the Gulf country wants a UN climate summit it hosts later this year to deliver "game-changing results" for international efforts to limit global warming, but it will require the conference to the fossil fuel industry also participated. tables. Environmental activists have criticized the presence of oil and gas lobbyists at previous rounds of talks, warning that their interests are at odds with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are largely caused by burning fossil fuels. Last month, a number of US and European lawmakers called for the summit's designated chairman, Sultan al-Jaber, to be replaced because of his links to state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil.

During 2022 and early 2023, the impact of climate change will intensify in Africa and around the world. We have seen catastrophic floods in Pakistan and Nigeria and Cyclone Freddy which affected Malawi, Mozambique and Madagascar. The multi-layered drought is still a threat in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where more than 4.2 million Kenyans have been affected. Heat waves and forest fires in the Northern Hemisphere have also caused massive disruption. As the world continues to warm, reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggest that countries must reduce carbon emissions to prevent the effects of climate change.

According to a report by the World Wide Fund for Nature, without a global response, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050. World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5 and is supported by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Celebrated by millions of people around the world, this day is probably the most appropriate opportunity to raise awareness of the need for environmental activism and the challenges of climate change.

New World Bank President Ajay Banga asked the lender's 16,000 staff on Friday to "redouble" their development and climate efforts as he seeks to accelerate the bank's evolution to address the world's most pressing problems. On his first day on the job, the former CEO of Mastercard (MA.N) he told employees in a memo seen by Reuters that he would seek to hire each of them to work on his vision "to create a world without poverty on a livable environment." planet."

According to new data from the European Environment Agency (EEA), Poland saw the largest overall drop in emissions in the EU last year, producing nearly 8 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent less than in 2021. But in proportional terms, Poland's decline, although above the EU average, was not among the highest in the block.EEA data from its Emissions Trading System (ETS) show that Poland had 184.15 million tonnes of verified emissions from all stationary installations in 2022, down 7.89 million tonnes from the year before. 

Data on projected emissions from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should be welcomed as a "positive development" for agriculture. That's according to Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) President Tim Cullinan, speaking after the EPA published its latest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections today (Friday 2 June). Cullinan noted that there is a strong focus on reducing emissions and that "every citizen, including farmers" should be credited for progress:"The vast majority of people try to play their part. We should be more positive about what is being achieved rather than being too negative. (Charlotte Morrey)

IPCC stated that the world must remove 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2050 to avoid a climate cataclysm. And yes, there are multiple methods of carbon removal today, such as planting more trees (afforestation), sequestering CO ₂ from the sky (direct air capture) and expansion of CO absorbing rock ₂ to agricultural land ("increased weathering"). . However, it is generally accepted that none of these methods alone will solve the carbon problem and that the carbon removal industry is a nascent industry and often full of fraud and messy reporting, to put it mildly.

Within the next five years, the world is likely to experience at least one year in which the global average surface temperature exceeds 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It was sharp forecast from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) this week in his climate forecast.  Straying above 1.5 °C could lead to potentially irreversible effects on the global climate system , scientists warned, including the collapse of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, the sudden melting of permafrost, rising sea levels and the bleaching of coral reefs. For these reasons is the 1.5°C limit at the heart of the 2015 Paris climate agreement , which commits countries to keeping global temperature increase "well below 2°C" and "making efforts" to 1.5°C.

Carbon dioxide emissions covered by Britain's Emissions Trading System (ETS) in 2022 will reach 110.6 million tonnes, up 2.7 million tonnes from the previous year, Britain's ETS said late on Thursday. "This change was largely driven by a significant increase in UK ETS emissions from aviation, consistent with the recovery in aviation activity following the COVID-19 pandemic," the authority said in a statement.

At the CoP26 summit in Glasgow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the need for collective action and cooperation to combat climate change. Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, while reflecting this spirit, allows countries to work together to achieve the emission reduction targets set out in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Among these provisions, Article 6.4 is similar to the Clean Development Mechanism previously created under the Kyoto Protocol and establishes a mechanism for trading greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions between countries under the supervision of the Conference of the Parties.

WITHenergy demand in residential and commercial buildings is responsible for 30 % of carbon emissions in the United States. In 2050, most building energy will be used in buildings that are standing today. To address emissions from these buildings, one of the growing climate policies in jurisdictions across the country and beyond is to enact performance standards that require buildings to reduce energy use or emissions over time. A new report from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) examines building performance standards (BPS) in 18 jurisdictions – including 3 countries, 3 states, 11 cities and for federal government buildings. BPS policies are pending approval in 4 jurisdictions, bringing the total to 22, more than double the 10 policies in effect in 2020. ( Steven Nadel S

Nuclear power generation could help the world decarbonise energy as global demand for electricity grows, with pressure to "electrify everything", including transport. The energy crisis over the past year and a half has led to increased support for nuclear power in many countries, including the US, the UK and even Japan. However, negative perceptions are still entrenched and the cost of nuclear is still much higher than the cost of providing wind and solar power. What wind and solar do not currently have is stable base load capacity to ensure a constant supply of electricity regardless of the weather. Nuclear power can do this, and its low life-cycle emissions can generate additional low-emission electricity to complement wind and solar power. (Tsvetana Paraskova)

The cheapest option for South Africa's energy mix includes huge amounts of renewables (between 50 GW and 60 GW) by 2030 and no new coal and nuclear, the President's Commission on Climate Change (PCC) has recommended. On Thursday, the commission published its recommendations for the country's electricity system. The recommendations are based on extensive stakeholder consultation, a review of research and modelling. The recommendations report follows a request by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe for input into the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which maps out which technologies need to be sourced from to meet demand.

Window to Limit Global Warming to Targets of the Paris Agreement by reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone, it closes quickly. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [ Pörtner et al. , 2022], to have a 50 % chance of keeping warming below 1.5°C, society as a whole will need to limit all future emissions of carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) to less than a few hundred billion tons. With global CO emissions ₂ in 2021 in the total amount of 36 billion tons [ Friedlingstein et al. , 2022], this limit implies the need to halve emissions within 10 years, on our way to eliminating almost all emissions by mid-century.

Forests play a key role in stabilizing the Earth's climate. The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is one approach to forest conservation, but PAs have rarely been established to mitigate climate change. The global impact of PA on the carbon cycle has not previously been quantified due to the lack of accurate carbon stock maps at the global scale. Here, we used ~412 million lidar samples from NASA's GEDI mission to estimate a total PA stock of aboveground carbon (C) of 61.43 Gt (+/− 0.31), 26 % of all mapped terrestrial woody C. Of this total, 9.65 + /− 0.88 Gt of additional carbon was attributed to the PA state. (L. Duncanson ,M. Liang, A. Zvoleff )
