Research with a peel: FSU study on banana browning could help tackle food waste
New research from Florida State University won't only help you nail the timing for your banana bread — it could also help reduce millions of tons of food waste from the widely cultivated fruit.
The Roots of Forest Loss and Forest Governance
If lessons from past failures on deforestation are learned, forest protection could play a major role in reversing both climate change and biodiversity loss.
Policy Lab: Indigenous Peoples’ engagement with multilateral environment agreements
Indigenous Peoples must be recognized as decision-makers to help address critical issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, but critical barriers to participation in multilateral negotiations remain.
Energy experts fear India's turn to 'dirty coal' commercially unviable
Heatwaves are sweeping across India, with March recording the hottest in 122 years, resulting in high energy demand touching 207GW in April-end, the worst crisis in over six years. Demand is far exceeding supply resulting in power outages by state DISCOMs.
Energy experts fear India's turn to 'dirty coal' commercially unviable
Amidst the coal crisis where the Centre has invoked an emergency law to operate idle coal import-based utilities, energy transition experts believe the electricity generation for 1.35 billion people based on expensive imported coal for blending is commercially unviable -- both high and inflationary.
Governments' Climate Laws Could Spur $340B In ISDS Claims
As governments consider how and when to enact legislation or mitigation measures meant to address climate change, a study shows there is a pricey cause for concern as fossil fuel companies could bring legal claims worth billions of dollars against them in order to protect their assets.
The fossil fuel industry has a trillion-dollar secret weapon to kneecap climate action
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden revoked the permit for the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline, which would have brought exceptionally dirty oil south from Canada across the Plains. The project’s owner, Calgary-based TC Energy, saw billions in future profits go up in smoke. So it turned to an arcane but potentially explosive tool to try to recoup the loss, filing a claim under the now-defunct North American Free Trade Agreement. The company is seeking $15 billion.
Investor-state disputes threaten the global green energy transition
To limit global warming to below 1.5°C, governments will have to simultaneously curb demand for fossil fuels and limit supply. However, efforts to limit supply will affect asset holders, particularly in the upstream (exploration and production) and midstream (transportation and storage) portions of the supply chain.
Funding for Fossil Fuels Could Derail Canada's New Plan to Reduce Emissions
The Canadian federal government aims to use their recent climate plan and budget as the basis to tackle climate change over coming years. However, subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and new production projects threaten to undermine progress.
