Climate Change & Security Impact Assessment. UN Report.
The report focuses on seeing what the impacts of climate change are on security, establishing that there will be more extreme weather and more natural disasters that will put citizens at risk. More conflicts over access to resources will arise, coastlines will flood, putting civilians, military installations and economic assets at risk, and armed forces […]
The EU Border Adjustment Mechanism after the French Presidency: state of play.
As part of the “Fit for 55” package aimed at reducing EU greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, the European Parliament took a big step on 22 June 2022 through its vote on a new EU Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), complemented by its decision on the reform of the European Union Trading Scheme […]
The methane landscape. Reduction Finance
Reducing methane emissions is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Methane has 80 times the warming power ofCO2 in the first 20 years after emissions hit the atmosphere, so methane is setting the pace for near-term global warming. Reducing methane emissions by 30% this decade to 2020 levels would avoid at least 0.2°C of […]
Amendments adopted by the European Parliament on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM).
MEPs agreed to advocate for CBAM to cover emissions from the hydrogen, polymer and organic chemicals industries, in addition toCO2 emitted by the iron and steel sectors, refineries, cement, basic organic chemicals and fertilizers. Emission permits in these sectors will disappear from the emissions trading market, the so-called ETS system, which taxes EU industries between […]
Special report on global solar PV supply chains.
Solar PV is crucial for clean energy transitions. Over the past decade, the amount of solar PV deployed has increased tremendously, and its costs have dropped dramatically. But reaching net zero emissions requires solar PV to expand globally on an even larger scale, raising concerns about security of supply.
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on nature restoration.
Despite international efforts, ecosystem degradation continues at an alarming rate. Ecosystems are essential for our survival, as they are the basis of Resilience. Ecosystem restoration will also help prevent and increase resilience to potential future communicable diseases, thereby reducing the risks of outbreaks and pandemics, and help support global and EU efforts to implement the […]
Turn promises into action.
