CO2 emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels -oil, gas and coal- will reach a new record in 2022, according to a study published this Friday during the COP27 in Egypt.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has put on the table the level of greenhouse gas emissions from the armies, whose calculation is complicated to evaluate, experts explain at COP27.
In April this year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an assessment report on global progress towards slowing climate change. Carbon markets arise
The skies of Egypt were crossed this Sunday by hundreds of private jets used by world leaders to reach Sharm El Sheikh, the city that hosts the climate talks until November 18.
A November 2022 article in Nature argues that the world's militaries are largely spared from emissions reporting, and this must change. Failure to do so is to create systems in which the mitigation measures of each country become mere guesswork.
Due to climate change, people all over the world are changing the way they live their lives. If carbon emissions are not reduced in time, this planet may not remain habitable in the future.
