IMO member states are meeting this week for critical talks to discuss how the carbon-intensive shipping industry can be regulated to meet its 2030climate target of reducing its carbon emissions intensity by 40 percent compared to 2008 levels.
The throwaway global economy is fuelling the climate crisis with more than half a trillion tonnes of virgin materials consumed since the 2015 ParisAgreement, according to a report from impact organisation Circle Economy launched on 19 January. World leaders committed to limit climate change to 1.5°C C, and to meet 1.5°C
All this corroborates what I wrote at the beginning of the year on how India and China are going full speed against climate change. According to new findings from ClimateActionTracker , India and China are actually years ahead of their climate commitments. Cleantechnica has a full article on that.
New research from climate think tanks suggests that “immediate, transformational changes” across every sector are needed by 2030. C are far behind the “pace and scale” required, with experts calling for policymakers to close the global gap in climateaction at COP28 later this month.
That future is framed within the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) along with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development agreed upon by all member nations of the United Nations in 2015. Regarding climate change, the US is marked “critically insufficient” for 1.5°C They are humanity’s goals for 2030.
billion kilowatts by 2030. billion kilowatts by 2030. At the Leaders Climate Summit in April 2021, President Xi Jinping announced that China would control coal generation until 2025 when it will start to gradually phase it out. Independent analysts ClimateActionTracker estimate China’s emissions to have been 13.8
Its interim target is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030. The country says based on 2021 emissions projections it is on track to reduce emissions by up to 35% below 2005 levels by 2030. The position in Australia, which needs to phase-out coal by 2030 to meet 1.5C
Countries are required under the ParisAgreement to update their national climateaction plans every five years, including at COP26. This year, they’re expected to have ambitious targets through 2030. Are countries on track to meet the international climate goals? ClimateActionTracker.
In March, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) AR6 synthesis report noted that, while there are “tried and tested” policy measures that can achieve deep greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and build climate resilience, they will only have an impact if “scaled and applied globally”. An overshoot of 1.5°C
Aligning global climateaction with the ParisAgreement would deliver huge increases in prosperity in both high- and low-income countries by 2050, says new research from two leading economic development organizations. will lead to a significant net gain in global GDP. And those costs will multiply.
