"We have a situation where renewable electricity and total energy consumption are growing quite rapidly alongside one another. So, renewables are chasing a retreating target that keeps getting further away," said Diesendorf. The findings add new kindling to the growing "degrowth" movement which bel...
The target of net-zero emissions has since been enshrined in UK legislation, meaning that GGR will likely be part of the UK's climate strategy. Plans for GGR deployment will therefore need to be set in motion in the short-term, in order to align with the timeframe proposed by the CCC....

Kevin has set us atargetto do double the amount of work this week. We’re going tooffsetthe cost of the holiday by not spending as much on going out for meals. It takes aglobal effortto deal with climate change.
The national target setting can further be informed by studies on co-benefits such as ref. 32, which suggest a significant share of mitigation costs could be covered by accounting for air quality and other co-benefits, making additional domestic mitigation more attractive. Another critical point ...
[62]. Filtering schemes to safely reduce the number of inappropriate referrals to NHS outpatient ophthalmology clinics is a target area, which has already shown to be effective [63,64]. Teleophthalmology serves as an innovative measure in reducing travelling and carbon footprint, and its use has...
Investor pressure is a huge driver in the corporate race to net zero. Just five of the Climate Action 100+ 167 focus companies had set a net-zero target prior to January 2018 when the initiative was launched and began engaging with heavy-emitting companies. The remaining 106 targets have ...
摘要: Nucor has set a 2050 target to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in line with intensity standards defined by the Global Steel Climate Council, the US steelmaker said Nov. 13. The net-zero 2050 target will result in a GHG intensity of 116 kg GHGs/mt of steel, including scopes...
Soil-associated emissions from land developments:Maryland has set a net-zero target by 2045 in the Climate Solutions Now Act, which should also account for emissions from land conversions. This study shows that land conversions have been a significant source of CO2emissions in MD based on the la...
UK power sector decarbonisation is an important step toward achieving the country’s 2050 net zero target. Two uncertainties are particularly relevant to this effort: future electricity demand and biomass availability, the latter due to the potential for negative emissions in the power sector from ...
