Pressure is mounting for global financial reforms to help developing nations tackle climate change. An open letter was sent to G20 leaders ahead of annual World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings this week. It urges them to end “crippling debt” for developing nations and introduce new measures to “make polluters pay”. Signatories include the former Prime Minister of Denmark Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark, Paris Agreement architect Christiana Figueres as well as celebrities and other influential figures. The more than 100-strong group o...

Humanity has only two years left “to save the world” by making dramatic changes in the way it spews heat-trapping emissions according to the head of the United Nations climate agency. It has even less time to act to get the finances behind such a massive shift. Governments of the world are facing a 2025 deadline for new and stronger plans to curb carbon pollution, nearly half of the world's populations voting in elections this year, and crucial global finance meetings are taking place later this month in Washington. United Nations executive climate secretary Simon Stiell said Wednesday he know...

Germany's greenhouse gas emissions dropped by one-tenth last year, thanks to their investment in renewables and high energy prices which may have driven down demand. Europe's biggest economy is trying to cut their emissions by 65 per cent, compared with 1990, by 2030. These latest stats put them on track to reach a cut of almost 64 per cent by that date. “Germany is on course, for the first time,” Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, who is also the economy and climate minister, says in a statement. “If we stick to our course, we will reach our 2030 climate targets.” How is Germany reducing its emis...

Global warming has exceeded 1.5C for an entire year for the first time ever, according to the EU’s climate service. Humans are responsible for virtually all global heating in the last 200 years, scientists say. And 2023 was a year filled with extraordinary droughts, searing heatwaves and deadly rainfall. So what needs to be done to cool our planet? Can we still keep the Paris Agreement target alive and is it still possible to keep global warming from spiralling out of control? Why is 1.5C such an important threshold?The Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5C is based on long...

A handful of centuries-old sponges from deep in the Caribbean Sea could hold clues about the impact of human-caused climate change. They're causing some some scientists to believe that warming began sooner and has progressed more rapidly than previously thought. The researchers calculate that the world has already gone past the internationally approved target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C since pre-industrial times, hitting 1.7°C as of 2020. They analysed six of the long-lived sponges - simple animals that filter water - for growth records that document changes in water temperature, acid...
