Want to cut global emissions by 10%? Stop fossil-fuel subsidies

The IPCC report released on Monday (March 20) has an idea for shaving off as much as 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030: end fossil fuel subsidies once and for all. A tenth of greenhouse gas emissions is a large slice and would go a long way in preventing global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), the threshold above which the catastrophic impacts of climate change will become increasingly difficult to manage. The overall cut in emissions required to achieve that goal is 45%.

On World Water Day, a case for natural infrastructure

The UN 2023 Water Conference in New York, kicking off on World Water Day today, is the first such conference in almost 50 years. But it arrives against a worrying backdrop. Across the globe, we seem to be experiencing the vicissitudes of water, whether it is unprecedented flooding or old and new forms of pollution in lakes and rivers. And thanks to the ever-intensifying impacts of climate change, it doesn’t seem like our fraught relationship with that which sustains us will improve any time soon.
