This sector is responsible for about 22 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions and has an emission reduction potential of 13.6 gigatonnes annually, with agriculture accounting for 91 per cent of these emissions on average. Agriculture, forestry and other land-based industries (AFOLU) are major contributors to climate change.
READ MOREAfter accounting for variations in weather and plant activity, we found that urban CO 2 emissions decreased by 30% in response to COVID-19. The bulk of these changes were due to traffic (-48%) with only an 8% decrease in stationary CO 2 sources. Weekly CO2 concentrations before and during shelter-in-place order.

READ MOREIn the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, industry emissions fall 2.3% annually to 6.9 Gt CO2 by 2030 – despite expected industrial production growth. Industrial energy consumption has risen considerably in the past two decades - increasing an average 1% per year between 2010 and 2019, along with demand for industrial products and CO2
READ MOREPortland and Multnomah County have been tracking local carbon emission for more than 30 years, using an annual sector-based emissions inventory. This is a 4.8% increase over the historic low point that resulted from the first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic. These reductions have been achieved despite the fact that Portland welcomed nearly 40
READ MOREThe number of countries announcing pledges to achieve net zero emissions over the coming decades continues to grow. But the pledges by governments to date – even if fully achieved – fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2050 and give the world an even chance of
READ MOREWe argue that despite low prices, carbon markets can help reduce emissions. Using a statistical model and sectoral emissions data, we find that the EU ETS, which initially regulated roughly 50% of EU
READ MOREFollowing the repeal of the carbon price in the last parliament, the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is now Australia''s main mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, two-thirds of the ERF''s allocated $2.5 billion funding has now been spent. The ERF, and other policies, will need further funding to achieve our climate targets.
READ MOREA large portion of the emissions-saving potential of low-carbon technology also relies on the actions and behaviours of citizens and consumers, as they are the ones that would decide to install a heat pump, buy an electric vehicle or switch to more efficient lightbulbs, for example. A relatively small but essential amount of emissions
READ MOREWith the rapid growth of the digital economy, it is essential to understand its impact on carbon emissions reduction. This study uses provincial panel data from China during 2011–2019 to construct a moderating mediating effect model and a spatial panel Durbin model to examine the relationship between the digital economy and carbon
READ MOREThe high carbon emissions from the manufacturing process of the core components of EVs, especially the power battery, reduce the low-carbon potential of electric mobility. Therefore, the carbon emission reduction strategies and outcomes of automakers in the automotive industry chain have been further reviewed.

READ MORE2 · Follow. In 2021, the US committed to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030. Researchers used six leading energy-economic models to identify pathways for the US to achieve this goal. Energy efficiency, cleaner electricity and rapid electrification are central strategies for emissions reductions, the study finds.
READ MOREAn interesting aspect: to focus specifically on CO2 emission reductions per acre, comparing trees with solar panels. I can see the obvious need to focus on CO2 sequestration and abatement, but not at the expense of a balanced eco-system – this is the risk of hyper focusing.

READ MORE3 · Put simply, the term net zero applies to a situation where global greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are in balance with emissions reductions. At net zero, carbon dioxide emissions are still generated, but an equal amount of carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere as is released into it, resulting in zero increase in net
