Nations preserved a groundbreaking framework to charge ships for carbon emissions, keeping alive the world's first global climate tax. Despite disagreements, most countries are staying committed to cleaning up an industry responsible for 3% of global emissions.
Scientists created the first detailed global map of farm emissions in over 20 years, revealing exactly where and how crops contribute to climate change. The breakthrough gives communities precision tools to cut emissions while feeding the world.
Scientists have created a climate-friendly alternative to traditional cement that works at room temperature and could eliminate nearly a tenth of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The breakthrough uses simple clay and industrial waste instead of the limestone that makes concrete one of the planet's biggest climate problems.
A global logistics giant just launched a game-changing platform that's already helping companies slash their carbon footprint while moving more goods with fewer trucks. The shipping industry's 10% contribution to global emissions just met its match.
The world's largest carbon emitter has seen emissions fall or flatline for nearly two years, driven by a clean energy boom that's exceeding all expectations. China may hit peak emissions years ahead of its 2030 target, marking a potential turning point in the global fight against climate change.
Global consulting giant McKinsey has crushed its 2025 climate targets, cutting emissions by 70% while proving professional services can go green without sacrificing global reach. The firm's success offers a roadmap for travel-heavy industries facing their own sustainability challenges.
A new electric heat pump could eliminate over 5% of global emissions by replacing fossil fuel boilers that have powered factories for 200 years. The technology costs less to run than current electric options while producing zero-emission steam.
The world's largest carbon emitter just hit a milestone: China's CO2 emissions have fallen or stayed flat for 21 consecutive months, dropping 1% in late 2025. Clean energy is finally outpacing fossil fuels in the country that produces 30% of global emissions.
A new study shows that switching to advanced solar panel technology could prevent 8.2 billion tonnes of carbon emissions by 2035, equal to 14% of current global annual emissions. The research proves that how and where we make solar panels matters just as much as using them.
The United Kingdom just raised the bar on climate action with an ambitious new target to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 87% from 1990 levels by 2040. This bold move puts the nation firmly on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 while keeping global warming in check.
A Canadian climate tech company just partnered with a global cement giant to test technology that could slash one of the world's biggest pollution sources by 85%. The breakthrough uses electricity to transform how we make cement without replacing existing factories.
A global real estate company just proved that big business can shrink its carbon footprint fast. Colliers reduced its emissions intensity by nearly a third while growing its commitment to renewable energy and workplace diversity.
Chinese scientists just released an AI system that tracks carbon emissions across global supply chains, helping companies cut costs while fighting climate change. The breakthrough could reshape how the world measures environmental impact.
A global life sciences company just earned prestigious validation for its ambitious plan to slash emissions by up to 67% over the next decade. Lumanity's targets passed strict scientific review on the first try, setting a new standard for corporate climate action.
A major global food company just proved sustainable agriculture can scale. COFCO International slashed emissions across its supply chains while sourcing 99% deforestation-free crops and securing $1 billion in green financing.
New research shows Europe's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism could slash nearly 700 million tons of CO₂ emissions by encouraging global carbon pricing. Critics called it bureaucratic red tape, but the data tells a different story.
A new study shows ships running on liquified natural gas now cut greenhouse emissions by up to 29% compared to traditional diesel fuel. The improvement marks major progress in cleaning up the maritime industry, which moves 90% of global trade.
A groundbreaking global study shows that adding wind propulsion to cargo ships could slash maritime emissions by nearly 8% by 2050, equal to taking 170 million cars off the road. The technology exists today, but policy support is the missing piece.
Electric vehicles made up 13% of Australia's car sales last year, helping drop transport emissions by 0.4% while diesel use soared. The federal tax rebate is proving its worth as the country races to catch up with global EV adoption.
A global agricultural company just proved that feeding the world and fighting climate change can go hand in hand. COFCO International slashed emissions across its supply chains while securing over $1 billion in sustainability financing.
