Three African cities have been earmarked for a Scaling Urban Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation in Sub-Saharan Africa project—jointly managed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the World Resources Institute—to tackle climate change.
Having proven that the world has enough fossil fuel projects to meet demand until 2050, researchers say a global norm against new projects—similar to the taboo against nuclear testing—would help phase down fossil fuels and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. In a policy paper for the journal Science, authors from University College London and the Winnipeg-based International Institute for Sustainable Development build the case for such a norm in three steps.
New report explains how LNG expansion will not only hamper Canada’s progress toward its climate goals but also create challenges for the economy in the long term.
This integrated cost-benefit analysis demonstrates the potential of nature-based infrastructure to restore land and combat desertification, aiding communities with climate change adaptation and producing wide-reaching socio-economic benefits.
