Réchauffement climatique : le monde est encore (trop) accro aux énergies fossiles (in French)
Les pays ne réduisent pas leurs productions de charbon, gaz et pétrole, des combustibles qui réchauffent la planète. Pire, ils les augmentent, alerte l'ONU dans un rapport.
Report shows fossil fuel production out of step with government climate commitments
Governments around the world expect to produce twice as much fossil fuels as their climate commitments would allow, a new international report has found.
The world is aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. Here's what that means
Canada has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 to fight climate change. At the upcoming COP26 climate summit, hitting net zero globally by 2050 is a key goal.
Planned fossil fuel output shatters 1.5 degrees Celsius climate target: UN
The world's nations are currently planning to produce more than double the amount of coal, oil and gas consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the United Nations said on Wednesday (Oct 20).
Fossil fuel production must be cut in half to control global warming: study
Plans for fossil fuel production around the world are twice the level necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to a report released Wednesday.
Why fossil fuel subsidies are so hard to kill
Fossil-fuel subsidies are one of the biggest financial barriers hampering the world's shift to renewable energy sources. Each year, governments around the world pour around half a trillion dollars into artificially lowering the price of fossil fuels — more than triple what renewables receive. This is despite repeated pledges by politicians to end this kind of support, including statements from the G7 and G20 groups of nations.
Fossil fuel production around the world is more than DOUBLE what's currently allowed under the Paris Agreement: Countries are producing over twice the amount of coal and 60% more oil than set by 2015 climate pact
The world needs to cut its production of coal, oil and gas by more than half in the coming decade to even have a chance of meeting strict climate standards established by the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to findings from the United Nations.
Les gouvernements misent davantage sur les énergies fossiles (in French)
Un récent rapport du Programme pour l’Environnement de l’ONU révèle l’écart plus important entre la production de combustibles fossiles prévue par 15 pays et les niveaux de production acceptables pour limiter le réchauffement à 1,5°C et 2°C.
Fossil-fuel production out of step with net zero: UN report
Countries' plans to produce more fossil fuel is "dangerously out of sync" with limits set out in the Paris Agreement to reduce carbon emissions, warns a new United Nations report.
