COVID-19 Could Lead to Significant Climate Data Gaps

The COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the global monitoring and forecasting capacity of the earth system. Partially suspended activities are causing a large loss

The hottest decade ever. When “acceleration” is the watchword

It sounds like a refrain we are quite used to, as it has been happening for 40 years: the last decade was not only hotter than the previous one but also the hottest on record. And it looks as if things are not going to change in the immediate future. However, some clues show that the last decade’s legacy can act as a springboard for the change we need in the next one.

Not enough: latest studies put pressure on COP24 to speed-up climate action

Current concentrations of CO2 last experienced 3-5 million years ago

Levels of the atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) have all reached new highs in 2017, according to

2017 sets new record in global CO2 concentration

Global levels of greenhouse gases have reached another new record high, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Rethinking plastic use to protect the ocean and tackle climate change

Despite the increasing number of policies to reduce disposable plastic items, studies show petrochemicals are becoming the largest drivers of future global demand for oil.

A single policy change, two major solutions: how switching from subsidizing fossil fuel to pricing CO2 emissions will fight climate change and promote sustainable development

From subsidizing fossil fuel to pricing CO2 emissions: reversing the policy as a solution to fight climate change and promote sustainable development

A new study claims that fossil fuel subsidies are a burden for national budget and for the environment. Carbon pricing should be introduced, instead, as a solution to drastically reduce CO2 emissions and obtain financial resources to address sustainable development.
