According to one telling , a group of female climate leaders met at a Scottish estate in 2013 to discuss bold climate goals that could be enacted two years later in Paris. After a heated debate, they agreed that the goal should be to pursue net zero by midcentury. Indeed, they’ll be front and center at our upcoming Net Zeroevent.
Many of the world’s biggest banks face the enormous challenge of realigning their entire loans and investment operations in the coming years to put themselves on a credible path to achieve net-zerocarbon emissions by 2050. “We C above pre-industrial levels – and tying compensation to progress on meeting the climate goals.
On 25 March 2024, SDSN Kenya joined WRI Africa and other Kenyan partner organizations in co-hosting an interactive workshop and debate format entitled: ‘Carbon Markets: Which Way for Kenya? A Carbon Markets Clinic and Debate’.
DESCRIPTION: The race is on, proclaims the United Nations, to create a Net Zero economy (same amount of greenhouse gas /GHG emissions removed from the atmosphere as produced). Public conversations about Net Zero are usually about “fossil fuels vs. renewables” and the impact of each category on climate change.
In December, KFC China launched an interactive section of "Natural 'Carbon Detection' and Going to Zero" on its super APP, infiltrating the concept of environmental protection and low carbon into consumers' daily ordering and dining behavior, and advocating consumers to participate in energy conservation and carbon reduction.
Because these segments represent two-thirds of aviation emissions — and with green hydrogen being a true zero-carbon fuel — these advances put aviation on a path to meet ParisAgreement emissions targets.
C target set by the ParisAgreement before 2040, according to UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) AR6 Synthesis report. According to Garraway, these events are prompting policymakers to recognise the importance of adaptation, shifting the focus away from solely mitigating the effects of climate change.
Action Toward Net Zero We are taking concerted, coordinated action to play our part in combating climate change – working toward our long-term ambition of net zerocarbon and resilient landscapes. We've also joined the United Nations Race to Zero Campaign to help build momentum towards a decarbonized economy. C campaign.
Established under Article 14 of the ParisAgreement , the Global Stocktake is designed “to assess the collective progress towards achieving the purpose of [the Paris] Agreement and its long-term goals. What is the purpose of the Global Stocktake? But the Global Stocktake is meant to go far beyond an assessment.
For one, countries’ pledges for reducing carbon emissions by 2030 fall far short of the levels needed to reach the 1.5°C C global warming target set by the 2015 ParisAgreement. C, leaving the global climate at risk, particularly for fast-rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
C ambition set by the ParisAgreement. At the ICT industry event MWC Barcelona 2022, we had the pleasure of speaking with Steven Moore, Head of Climate Action at GSMA, on its ambition for how the telco industry can help realize a Net Zero future. Where I can use technology to travel around safely and in a low carbon way.
Reem is hopeful that, “Cisco is driving around the digital divide, moving towards net zerocarbon emissions, and building prosperity around the world.”. These meetings positively supported inclusive debates and discussions on the future of our planet and was all made possible because of Cisco technology.
The event wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration and support of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) who are also host to the SDSN Spain Network , REDS (Red Española de Desarrollo Sostenible). Zero-Carbon Cities This session looked at the decarbonization of buildings, including both embodied and operational emissions.
More frequent and extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, are disrupting supply chains, displacing people from their homes and causing disaster response and recovery costs to skyrocket. Many countries across Asia also lack access to sufficient financing to fully develop low or zero-carbon infrastructure.
After successful events at COP22 , COP23 , COP24 , and COP25 , this year, SDSN virtually hosted the Zero Emissions Solutions Conference (ZESC) , formerly the “Low-Emissions Solutions Conference,” on the sidelines of COP26 from November 1-5, 2021. Getting to net zero requires a lot of thinking about real strategies.”
Evidence of the direct link between the human burning of fossil fuels and climate change is all around us, yet despite the increasingly unequivocal science there is a long way to go in the fight to limit the impact of rising temperatures and increasingly frequent volatile weather events on our planet.
The IPCC’s scientists explain how climate change has been fueling extreme weather events and flooding , severe heat waves and droughts , loss and extinction of species , and the melting of ice sheets and rising of sea levels. One key goal of COP26 is to ratchet up these targets to reach net-zerocarbon emissions by the middle of the century.
In addition, this modeling work served as the technological framework for SDSN USA’s ZeroCarbon Action Plan (ZCAP) , a report that makes policy recommendations to support the transition of energy infrastructure throughout the country. Technology Pathways to Net-Zero in the ZCAP report.
New Zealand, a nation of about 5 million people, in late January reported progress toward its goal to cut emissions by 30 percent over the next decade compared with 2005 levels — but recognized current measures won’t be enough to meet the ParisAgreement goals. 17, there were 53 signatories representing 18 industries. .
C and implement the ParisAgreement and will be welcomed by the business community. C temperature goal of the ParisAgreement alive, and to ensure a just transition. . G20 Leaders have recognized the need to transform their energy systems in line with the ParisAgreement, and agreed to help each other to do this.
As with virtually all gatherings of the climate community during the COVID age, this year’s Climate Week was convened as an online event — one hosted from more than 20 countries across myriad time zones rather than its usual host city of New York. . The intention is to align its portfolio with the goals of the ParisAgreement.
