Research on carbon exchanges between the land, oceans, and atmosphere is urgently needed to better understand and predict changes over the coming decades and centuries.A.S. DenningEncyclopedia of the Anthropocene
Perhaps unsurprisingly, most targets relate to operations rather than wider supply chain or customer-related emissions. While the sector's operational emissions are significant (as indicated above, they represent almost 1% of the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions), its wider footprint is an Conclu...
The Earth's climate has been changing since day one. So yes, climate change is real and ongoing. The gases in our atmosphere and the climate conditions that result are NOT stable and are constantly changing over time. Many factors play into this including solar activity, volcanic activity, ...
This blog highlights the key regional trends that emerged from our latest Business Sustainability Index and explores how UK companies are measuring up against their European peers.
The IPCC is convinced that bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is essential for achieving our collective climate objectives, in addition to being an important source of mitigation. Many countries, such as the UK, Denmark and Sweden, are following the scientific consensus and considerin...
How, exactly, might hydrogen play a role in decarbonizing industries? What are the types of hydrogen energy, and what’s standing in the way of widespread adoption? Read on to find out. Learn more about McKinsey’sOil & GasandSustainabilityPractices. ...
Climate change is driven by increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere. These gases are released into the atmosphere, often from business operations, including, but not limited to, power u...
We know there are 1000s of community groups that want to create a better future for all the people that live in their area. Ournew toolkit for community groupsis designed to help you start the process of creating a shared One Planet Living vision and get a wide range of local organisation...
Today, with carbon insetting, that’s all about to change. For accelerated climate action within the freight industry, decarbonization efforts must take placeinsidethe supply chain. Carbon insettingis a practice where funds are directed to addressing greenhouse gases emissions at the source – within...
There’s growing public and institutional pressure for companies to make these net-zero commitments, given the urgency of the climate crisis. These are pledges that companies take to cut or offset the amount of carbon they emit throughout their operations. ...
