Opinion | What Happens if China Stops Trying to Save the World?

China may be peaking emissions while global carbon levels rise, significantly impacting the green transition.

Emissions policies leading to 'human and economic trainwreck, climate boss warns

Current climate action commitments are on track for only a 2.6% reduction in emissions by 2030, far below the necessary 43%.

The Best Way to Fight the Climate Crisis Is with Cold, Hard Cash | The Walrus

Canada's minimal impact on global emissions doesn't absolve responsibility; the climate crisis requires collective action from all nations.

At Global Climate Talks, Food Systems Changes Are Kept Off the Table

Leaders at G7 and climate conferences failed to address the significant impact of animal agriculture on driving climate change.

Terrifying NASA Video Shows America Spewing CO2 Into Atmosphere

The NASA visualization displays global carbon dioxide movement, highlighting major sources like the US and China, aiming to study interactions and impact on climate change.

Australian fossil fuel exports ranked second only to Russia for climate damage with no plan' for reduction

Australia's coal and gas exports contribute significantly to global emissions despite low domestic emissions due to the particular emissions intensity of the exported fuels.

Un crater gigante en Siberia revela el pasado de Rusia

El deshielo del permafrost está causando importantes problemas en Rusia y otros países, afectando infraestructuras y liberando tesoros enterrados.

China's emissions of two potent greenhouse gases rise 78% in decade

Perfluorocarbon emissions in China have surged, significantly contributing to global emissions, with implications for the country's carbon neutrality goal and global climate mitigation.

China claims to have already reached its 2030 clean energy goal

China achieved a major clean energy goal six years ahead of schedule, reaching 1,206 gigawatts of clean energy capacity.

What would a good outcome at Cop29 look like?

The UN climate summit in Azerbaijan emphasizes the necessity to significantly boost climate finance for developing countries under the NCQG framework.

COP28's high planetary stakes

Global emissions and temperatures are outpacing outcomes from COP summits.
COP rules give equal votes to economic superpowers and nations on the front lines of climate change.
The severity of climate change impacts is becoming increasingly evident.

Is it too late to keep planetary heating below 1.5 Celsius? DW 11/24/2023

The 1.5 degrees Celsius limit in the Paris Agreement was established as a line of defense against catastrophic climate effects.
Current global emissions need to be halved by 2030 in order to stay within the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit.

The UN's Guterres calls for an 'ambition supernova' as climate progress stays slow

Countries' climate action plans are still far behind what's needed to curb human-caused warming and limit the devastating effects of extreme heat, storms and droughts.
Emissions from the burning of coal, oil, and gas will go up 9% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels, but will be 2% lower than 2019 levels because of some climate action from countries switching to cleaner energy.
The world needs to reduce emissions by around 45% by 2030 to effectively address the climate crisis.

Nations Are Getting Serious About Climate Action. Just Not Serious Enough.

The world's nations are taking steps to tackle climate change, but they are still far from making the necessary changes.
At least 149 countries have updated their pledges to curb greenhouse gas emissions, but current policies are not enough to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
To limit the risks from climate catastrophes, global emissions would need to fall by 29% to stay below 2 degrees Celsius and 43% to stay at 1.5 degrees Celsius.

This is how far behind the world is on controlling planet-warming pollution

Global greenhouse gas emissions increased by 1% between 2021 and 2022, falling short of goals to control climate change.
The world is on track for at least 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit of warming this century, and potentially more than 5 degrees if conditions aren't met.
Humanity has made slow progress in slowing emissions and curbing future warming since the Paris Agreement.
