The combined water surface area of small impoundments in farming areas was estimated at 21,000 km~2 in the United States and 77,000 km~2 globally (Smith et al., 2002; Downing et al., 2006), and these impoundments may bury more carbon than the world's oceans (Downing et al., 2008...

on peatland systems, particularly in terms of their important roles in C storage and the provision of ecosystem services. The most widespread uses of peatlands today are for forestry and agriculture, both of which require drainage that results in globally significant emissions of carbon dioxide (CO...
of CO2emissions globally. With demand for steel continuing to increase, it’s critical that we support the sector’s decarbonisation. As part of the agreement, signatories measure and disclose their steel-related loan emissions, with a view to achieving net-zero emissions in the steel industry...
This year, we partnered with 375,000 nonprofits globally, providing $4.7 billion in donated and discounted technology—to help them build capacity, drive efficiencies, innovate, and increase their impact as they take on the world’s greatest challenges. Together with our partners, we also made si...
Despite rising energy use, for the first time in four decades, global carbon emissions associated with energy consumption remained stable in 2014 while the global economy grew; this stabilisation has been attributed to increased penetration of renewable energy and to improvements in energy efficiency. ...
To achieve net zero, an active voluntary carbon market and credible carbon credits will be essential. Is natural capital a risk or opportunity?: Climate has historically received the most focus globally, but there is growi...
