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. C at the COP26 summit in Glasgow. C, and to meet 1.5°C
Recently, “the tenor around the discussion [of loss and damage] is starting to change,” writes Time magazine, with the United States ready to talk about “potential financial arrangements” on loss and damage at COP27. “We climate envoy John Kerry told the magazine last month.
A report published on 26 August by an independent group of experts warns that reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is now “too little too late”, and will not achieve the long-term temperature goals identified in the ParisAgreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C C by the end of the century.
Three weeks away from the 26th Conference of the Parties ( COP26 ), the World Biogas Association (WBA) is preparing to travel to Glasgow to represent the global biogas industry at the UN Climate Summit and demonstrate the value of the biogas industry in tackling climate change. That is what we at the WBA are aiming to achieve.”
New scientific paper says we will not reach ParisAgreement without urgent ocean action. A scientific paper published in the peer review Journal, Aquatic Conservation says that measures to address climate change and reach the ParisAgreement will not succeed unless the ocean is taken into account.
“Given the very stark message issued by the IPCC, it is crucial that the British Government shows leadership in fully integrating AD and biogas into its ParisAgreement and Net Zero targets”, she continues. There is no Net Zero without biogas.”, ”, Charlotte Morton concludes.
Entitled “ the Methane Imperative ”, the event will build upon the launch of the Global Methane Pledge at COP26 to highlight how biogas could deliver up to 50% of the targets set up in the pledge, which has now been signed by over 100 countries. He will be followed by H.E.
The new “ Transport NDC Tracker ” launched on 28 September by the International Transport Forum at the OECD monitors how transport appears in the decarbonisation commitments of the countries that have joined the Paris Climate Agreement. The tracker is updated every Monday to take into account new NDC submissions to the UNFCCC.
And a UK-led joint statement commits 25 countries “to ending international public support for the unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022 and instead prioritising support for the clean energy transition,” said an announcement on the COP26 website. Signatories include Italy, Canada, the United States and Denmark.
New and updated climate commitments fall far short of what is needed to meet the goals of the ParisAgreement, leaving the world on track for a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C C this century, according to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) latest Emissions Gap Report 2021: The Heat Is On.
In the build up to next year’s crucial COP26 in Glasgow, it will be particularly opportune to hear his insights into how the UK, as host nation, is addressing the climate emergency and taking a leadership role in meeting ParisAgreement targets.”
“By mapping out how AD and biogas could help countries to dramatically cut their greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane, over the next decade and beyond, this report aims to put humanity back on track to deliver on the ambitions of both the ParisAgreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals.”
To comply with the ParisAgreement, producers must cut emissions by 90 per cent. With the UK preparing to host the UN Climate summit COP26 later this year, the report sets out an ambitious but practical proposal based upon the development of a DRI-hydrogen, electric arc furnace-based solution. This simply ticks all the boxes.”.
The highest profile of these is the Global Methane Pledge (GMP), launched at COP26 in November 2021 to catalyse action to reduce methane emissions. degrees Celsius temperature goal of the ParisAgreement is to be met. Voluntary initiatives are to be encouraged and applauded but progress needs to be accelerated if the 1.5
per year, when they need to be falling by 7% every year to 2030, according to some estimates, to keep alive the hopes of the Parisagreement. Fossil fuels were mentioned for the first time in a COP text two years ago, at COP26 in Glasgow. The headline commitment of COP28 was the pledge to transition away from fossil fuels.
” The document from the Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG)[1] sets out seven recommendations that it believes global leaders at COP26 must consider to make carbon pricing more effective.
The signing of the Global Methane Pledge at last year’s COP26 marks a vital step in reducing the impact of industrial activities on the environment. C limit set by the 2015 ParisAgreement. HoverGuard™ flying over a city. The hope is that a concerted drive to reduce emissions will help to achieve at least a 0.3°C
This had been central to the climate accords since 2009, and is widely viewed as an indispensable ingredient for securing the mutual trust and cooperation of the 191 countries that signed the Parisagreement. One solution might be carbon pricing, and the imposition of such a measure was Bordini-Staden’s “biggest hope” for COP26.
Its publication comes in advance of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, which will be hosted by Glasgow in November, and is designed to accelerate action towards the goals of The ParisAgreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Since the adoption of the ParisAgreement in 2015, more than 124 countries have agreed to a net-zero emissions target, defined as a balance of emission sources and anthropogenic removals. The analysed strategies are mostly from the Global North and cover 58% of global 2019 greenhouse gas emissions and around 74% of global GDP.
