As #ClimateWeekNYC wraps up, our tool the Climate risk dashboard shows that without stronger climate action, New York could face up to 34 days of high heat stress per year by 2050 and 56 days per year by 2100 - more than double the 24 days in 2020.
China is leading the global renewables revolution, installing clean energy faster than any country in the world. But to drive significant emissions down after peaking, China will need to keep breaking records and accelerate wind and solar deployment.
China needs to reach 4.5 TW of wind and solar by 2030 to align with 1.5°C. This is needed to meet rapidly growing electricity demand in China, and to also displace large volumes of coal on the road to...
To align with the goal of tripling renewables by 2030 and the 1.5°C limit, new analysis shows the US needs to increase wind capacity 3x and solar capacity 6x by 2030. This can help deliver the US goal of a clean power sector by 2035. climateanalytics.org/publications...
The United States needs to grow wind and solar capacity almost five times by 2030, reaching almost 1400 GW of installed capacity in the central benchmark presented here. The Inflation Reduction Act is...
SPECIAL REPORT: after it weakened its #NDC#Climateactiontracker#COP29 host Azerbaijan's climate action as "Critically Insufficient".
"Our analysis from last year found that if wind and solar continue to accelerate at the pace that they have been, consistent with historical trends, then there's a 70 per cent chance that emissions would fall in 2024," @neilgrant.bsky.socialwww.abc.net.au/news/2024-09...
Renewable technologies are gathering speed, putting the world within reach of falling greenhouse gas emissions. Climate experts say they "struggle to wrap their heads around" the sheer size, scale and...
🚨NEW DATA shows how fast key countries need to scale wind and solar to limit warming to 1.5°C. Across the 11 countries looked at, the technologies need to grow 5x by 2030 and 8x by 2035 to hit global climate goals. Let’s get into the weeds of it 🧵⤵️
Based on global energy system modelling sense-checked against key national studies, this report presents new analysis on what a 1.5°C-aligned rollout of wind and solar could look like for key countrie...
China plays a key role in this as a leader in the renewables revolution and one of the world's biggest emitters. This means if China peaks, which looks increasingly likely within the next year, there's a fair chance the world would too.
The milestone is essential for slowing global warming, but the hard work is still to come. The milestone is essential for slowing global warming, but the hard work is still to come.
NEW: Heard about solar geoengineering recently? Wondering what it is? What it would do? Who might be affected? We summarise the science in a new briefing.
With international efforts on climate action still not on track to limit warming to 1.5°C, technological fixes that aim to intentionally alter the Earth’s climate, such as solar geoengineering, might ...
The #LossAndDamage fund is looking to strike the right balance between high standards and accessibility. As its board prepares to meet, Dr Olivia Serdeczny and Sneha Pandey share lessons from other funds to explore how to make the fund accessible for vulnerable countries.
The board of the 'Fund for responding to Loss and Damage' has diverging views on accessibility. We look at lessons from similar funds and options currently on the table.
