Taking Care of Our Earth – A Global Agenda for Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050, UN Appeals
Negative impacts of climate warming are already being experienced globally. As set out by the IPCC’s Special Report on Global Warming, limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is necessary to prevent irreversible devastating changes. To achieve this goal will require reaching net zero CO2 emissions in most if not all countries by 2050.Several days ago, the … [Read more...] about Taking Care of Our Earth – A Global Agenda for Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050, UN Appeals

Fossil CO2 Emissions Per Square Kilometer – A Valid Indicator for Tackling Air Pollution & Climate Warming
Air pollution and climate warming are two leading environmental problems. Although they are clearly distinguishable, both problems are closely linked since they can be traced back to the same source: carbon burning. Usually, air pollution and climate warming are measured by different indicators. Most of these indicators, however, are not sensitive to intervention strategies and … [Read more...] about Fossil CO2 Emissions Per Square Kilometer – A Valid Indicator for Tackling Air Pollution & Climate Warming
