« Sécurité alimentaire – meilleure nutrition pour tous » : La plaidoirie du parlementaire Abdoulaye Wilane (in French)
L’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), en collaboration avec l’Institut international du développement durable (IIDD), ont organisé la session thématique « Action parlementaire sur la lutte contre les inégalités entre les sexes pour parvenir à la sécurité alimentaire et à une meilleure nutrition pour tous ». Ce, dans le cadre des événements préparatoires du deuxième Sommet parlementaire mondial contre la faim et la malnutrition, qui se tiendra en 2023.
How the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Can Shift Millions From Fossil Fuels to Clean Energy Through the Glasgow Commitment
This brief outlines why and how the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development can redirect financing from fossil fuels to clean energy.
Canada’s Just Transition Legislation: The time is now
In this webinar, labour, Indigenous, and environmental experts share their insights and policy expectations for Canada's federal just transition legislation and strategy.
New fossil fuels 'incompatible' with 1.5C goal, comprehensive analysis finds
There is a "large consensus" across all published studies that developing new oil and gas fields is "incompatible" with the 1.5C target, a new report says. The findings, from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), are based on a comprehensive review of all "feasible" routes to staying below 1.5C.
Ditch oil and gas to meet climate goals, report says - but where does that leave SA?
The IISD recommends developing nations leapfrog oil and gas altogether and pursue renewables that will avoid emissions.
Fossil Investment Could 'Fully Finance' Renewable Shift to 1.5°C
Redirecting $570 billion per year from planned oil and gas investments could "fully finance" wind and solar expansion to meet a 1.5°C target, showing that oil and gas development must be halted to keep global warming within safe limits, a new report concludes.
Why It's So Hard to Put a Price on Carbon
In the past decade, the phrase “put a price on carbon” has gathered steam around the globe. And carbon pricing has been hailed by scientists, economists, and business leaders as one of the most cost-effective tools to decarbonize economies. But the exact price—typically expressed in terms of value (e.g. dollars or other local currency) per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent—varies, depending on the jurisdiction, the policies in place, and the pricing instrument. In other words, this is not a one-price-fits-all situation.
New oil and gas fields "incompatible" with limiting warming to 1.5°C
The world has been warned that there is no room for new sources of fossil fuels if it wants to limit warming to 1.5°C, with a need to focus on boosting wind and solar capacity instead. The warning came in the International Institute for Sustainable Development’s (IISD) analysis of different climate and energy scenarios across the full body of global modelled pathways, including those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), as well as the private sector. It concluded that developing any new oil and gas fields is “incompatible” with limiting warming to 1.5°C and that there is no room for new fossil import infrastructure in Europe under 1.5°C-aligned gas phase-out pathways.
EU states 'revolt' against controversial energy treaty
Energy companies have been suing European governments for billions of euros to protect their fossil fuel investments in recent years via an obscure treaty adjudicated in secret arbitration courts. But that could be about to change.
