Faute de preuve : La nouvelle Stratégie nationale d'adaptation du Canada doit protéger les Canadiens des effets des changements climatiques
La Stratégie nationale d'adaptation du Canada devrait être finalisée au cours des prochaines semaines et dévoilée avant la conférence internationale sur les changements climatiques COP 27. Bien qu'elle promette d'être un grand pas en avant dans la protection des Canadiens contre les répercussions croissantes des changements climatiques, sans objectifs à court terme ni mesures pour nous préparer contre l'intensification des inondations, des feux incontrôlés et de la canicule à laquelle nous sommes déjà confrontés, ce sera trop peu, trop tard.

RICHARD HALSEY: Just transition finance proposal needs better transparency
The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) could be a great opportunity for SA. The $8.5bn international commitment — announced in November 2021 to help support the country’s just energy transition — could contribute to tackling some of its most pressing energy, social and environmental challenges. It could position the country as a leader in this new type of international support and set an example for other countries.
Gas: The lesser of two evils or a viable option?
Gas, a controversial energy source, is widely regarded as a way for African countries to wean themselves off coal and reduce emissions. It’s known as a transition fuel but what does this mean? According to Cem Gürsan, a PhD candidate at the Nijmegen School of Management at Radboud University, in the Netherlands, a transition fuel is a low-carbon fuel (such as natural gas) which is substituted for a higher-content fossil fuel (coal and oil) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Natural gas is considered as a transition fuel – a temporary solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while more sustainable technologies mature. However, there is a major divide where many are opposed to gas but others are serious proponents of its use.
