Read the full story at Ars Technica. Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its…
Read the full story in the New York Times (gift article). The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it planned to relax a Biden-era rule that requires grocery stores, air-conditioning companies, semiconductor plants and others to sharply and rapidly reduce some powerful greenhouse gases used in cooling equipment. The Environmental Protection Agency plan would unravel…
Read the full story at Trellis. A foundational data source that shapes the work of sustainability professionals across multiple sectors will disappear if the Trump administration goes ahead with plans to scrap the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, critics of the move warn. The program, run since 2009 by the Environmental Protection Agency, requires around 8,000…
Download the report. Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C or well below 2 °C requires deep and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions as the primary priority. In addition, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be necessary. Only durable forms of CDR that store CO₂ on millennial timescales can effectively neutralise residual fossil fuel emissions. Once emitted, CO2…
Read the full story at Grist. The Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier this month that it would stop making polluting companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to it, eliminating a crucial tool the U.S. uses to track emissions and form climate policy. Climate NGOs say their work could help plug some of the data gap,…
The hidden climate cost of cleaning our most precious supplies have been drastically downplayed, according to a new study. According to research conduced by Princeton University Engineering School and Northwestern University, published in the journal Nature Water, sewage works produce around twice as many tonnes of greenhouse gases that previously…
Read the full story at Trellis. Food waste accounts for 58 percent of landfill methane emissions, the greenhouse gas equivalent of 50 million passenger vehicles. Composting is a critical tool in the climate change toolbox because it diverts food and other organic waste from landfills. New research shows access to composting across the U.S. has…
Read the full story at Grist. In 2013, California launched its cap-and-trade program, a carbon credit market that allows companies and governments to engage with offset projects that incentivize investments in planting trees, preserving forests, or even supporting solar farms. The idea is to reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing credits for nature-based…
Read the full story at ESG Dive. Based on low, medium and high emissions scenarios, the U.S. will reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26%-41% in 2040 compared with 2005 levels, according to Rhodium Group’s Taking Stock 2025 report. However, the pace of decarbonization will slow dramatically, partially due to recent and potential policy changes by Congress…
