The report finds that the Paris Agreement has spurred new approaches to climate governance and policy. Scientific evidence is now more widely used to guide decisions, long-term goals are increasingly shaping national strategies, and governments have introduced stronger mandates, established new institutions and engaged a wider range of stakeholders

Furthermore, when water vapour condenses onto particle emissions (e.g. soot) and freezes to form a contrail, this can lead to a significant global warming (positive forcing) especially at night. In our calculations, these non-CO2 effects vary between 2 to 4 times of the CO2 global warming effect. The variability is subject to the large uncertainty of non-CO2 climate effects”

It finds that, while a third (33%) of consumers in 2023 believed companies engaged in greenwashing, the same number now stands at 62%
Capgemini connects this to the challenge of supply chain transparency. Organisations struggle with gathering verifiable supplier data & developing traceable emissions reduction plans. These gaps directly weaken the credibility of sustainability claims

Moreover, it does so at a rate that is 100 times faster than many existing methods—and is conducted at a lower computational cost.
Samudra's creators see the breakthrough as significantly advancing our present and future understanding of the world's oceans, which absorb more than 90% of excess heat and 25% of carbon dioxide emissions and are essential for predicting climate change impact

How soon must global greenhouse gas emissions peak to have a realistic chance of keeping warming within 1.5˚C? According to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the answer is 2025
that fewer than 15% of MPs correctly identified 2025, while over 30% thought the peak could come as late as 2040 or beyond

How much people trust politicians affects their support for climate policies. The less trust we have in politicians, the less likely we are to accept climate policies that mean paying a price as individuals. And people are especially resistant towards taxes. These are the results of a new survey of over 6,000 respondents in four European countries

A new cross-sectional analysis estimates that asthma inhalers contribute the same carbon emissions as 530,000 cars each year. That's over over 2 million metric tons of greenhouse gases annually from the three types of inhalers approved for asthma or COPD during the years 2014 to 2024
