Last year, the European Climate Advisory Board published a report with scientific advice to determine an EU-wide 2040 climate target and a greenhouse gas budget for 2030–2050. One year later, we should revisit it: https://lnkd.in/dH4u43Aq

A timely comment. Right yesterday, in my lecture on Pollution in the module “Fundamentals of Climate Change and Planetary Health” at LSHTM I specifically talked about nitrogen pollution and N2O in particular. The nitrogen flow has crossed the planetary boundary of biogeochemical flows well into the high risk zone of ecosystems collapse. #nitrogen #n2o #pollution #climatechange #environment

This week, #ClimateWatch published a technical note to accompany Climate Watch historical greenhouse gas emissions dataset. 📊 This technical note explains the data sources and methodologies used to compile GHG inventories at the country and global levels in the Climate Watch dataset.

Concerns are growing among researchers that efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions aren’t moving fast enough to prevent the destructive effects of heat waves, storms and floods made worse by climate change. Some scientists are now testing approaches once considered taboo, using taxpayer funds and private investments. Last year, the White House issued preliminary guidelines for some types of research into geoengineering, a set of strategies to manipulate the environment to partially offset the impact of climate change.

Check out our new interactive article on fluorinated gases (F-gases). Scroll through to discover the overlooked role of F-gases in climate change and innovative strategies to curb their emissions. This article showcases the latest breakthrough in the use of En-ROADS: the ability to isolate graphs and sliders outside of the main interface to focus on specific insights.🤳 https://lnkd.in/efe6QZF9

This comparative analysis of the four RCP scenarios outlines the varying greenhouse gas emissions trajectories and their projected impacts on climate outcomes. It provides a clear view of how different pathways, from low-emission (RCP2.6) to high-emission (RCP8.5), influence future climate scenarios. For a more detailed insight into the different scenarios, refer to the full article in our previous post. #ClimateChange #RCPScenarios #Sustainability #ClimateInsights #ClimateAction

An important contribution to the debate over the proper role of Carbon Removal in climate policy, and how to govern it.
