Geological Net Zero and the need for disaggregated accounting for carbon sinks

by Helen Bunting | Nov 18, 2024

Achieving net zero global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), with declining emissions of other greenhouse gases, is widely expected to halt global warming. Warming will continue, however, until all residual CO2 emissions are balanced by active anthropogenic CO2...

Geologically Balanced Fuels: a net zero goal for Low-Carbon Aviation Fuels?

by Helen Bunting | Sep 23, 2024

Geologically Balanced Fuels (GBFs) offer the aviation sector a flightpath to net zero. They complement existing strategies centred around efficiency improvements and technology switching, offset credits, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending. A GBF is a...

Development transitions for fossil fuel-producing low and lower–middle income countries in a carbon-constrained world

by Helen Bunting | Feb 8, 2024

The production and use of fossil fuels need to decline rapidly to limit global warming. Although global net-zero scenarios abound, the associated development ramifications for fossil fuel-producing low and lower–middle income countries (LLMICs), as well as adequate...

Nature-based solutions can help cool the planet — if we act now

by Admin | Aug 1, 2023

Analysis suggests that to limit global temperature rise, we must slash emissions and invest now to protect, manage and restore ecosystems and land for the future.

Ensuring that offsets and other internationally transferred mitigation outcomes contribute effectively to limiting global warming

by Admin | Aug 1, 2023

Ensuring the environmental integrity of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes, whether through offset arrangements, a market mechanism or non-market approaches, is a priority for the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Any conventional...
