Artificial intelligence systems have big environmental costs but are also finding ways to save energy and water, cut emissions and make businesses more efficient.
The International Court has set out clear rules for addressing climate change – and the rights of states to take legal action against others for breaching them.
Proposed changes to New Zealand’s landmark climate law amount to a “soft renege” on the Paris Agreement, with potentially significant consequences for the economy.
South Africa’s coal mines seem to be leaking far more methane than official records show.
Satellites can be used to independently monitor emissions, helping to better understand emissions in regions where ground-based or other data are lacking.
The government’s weakened methane reduction target mirrors the approach promoted by industry lobby groups but rejected by the Climate Change Commission.
Hydroxyl scrubs the potent greenhouse gas methane from the atmosphere. But its production is linked with emissions of other pollutants.
Fewer cows on the farm and a broader range of farming practices, including involvement in the emerging alternative proteins industry, could help New Zealand’s dairy sector remain viable.
Missing money, Saudi wrecking, methane pledges and more.
We wanted to find out how much carbon and nitrogen is being released from the northern permafrost. Here’s the region’s first full greenhouse gas budget covering CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide.
A new report from the Climate Council identifies ways to cut methane greenhouse emissions, almost two years after Australia signed a global pledge to reduce them.
If the fossil fuel industry tackles the methane leaks it generates before 2030, this could reduce global warming by 0.2°C by 2100.
Cultured meats, precision fermentation and other cutting-edge technologies are predicted to disrupt conventional agriculture. Despite the threat, New Zealand is well positioned to ride the wave.
Research focused on short-term cooling risks greenwashing the industry – new study.
Any efforts to tackle methane emissions must first begin with measuring the intensity of those emissions.
‘Breath emissions’ are around 0.05% of the UK’s total methane emissions.
Major sources, like oil and gas ‘super-emitters’, are almost entirely neglected by regulations.
Seaweed is in the spotlight for so many reasons. It all sounds too good to be true. So can this wonder weed live up to expectations and fulfill its promise to save us from ourselves?
An update to the 2021 Global Methane Pledge could see tighter restrictions on oil and gas leaks.
