A post-lockdown economic recovery plan that incorporates and emphasises climate-friendly choices could help significantly in the battle against global warming, according to a new study. This is despite the sudden reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants during lockdown having a negligible impact on holding down global temperature change.

By aligning the next round of carbon cutting targets with the 1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement, governments could halve the massive GDP losses in tropical countries and other severe climate impacts that would otherwise be expected by the end of this century under current climate action, according to a study published today in Earth System Dynamics.

Today’s youth could be left with the unfair task of mopping up decades worth of carbon emissions unless major-emitting countries significantly step up their 2030 climate targets, says a new study published in Nature Climate Change.

In its first major assessments of international shipping and aviation, the Climate Action Tracker has rated the 2030 climate targets for both sectors as “Critically insufficient”, and concludes that emissions may continue to rise sharply despite the impact of COVID-19.

We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and with all of those pursuing justice, climate justice, and calling for an end to systemic racism.

Climate Analytics is part of an international team of researchers and organisations partnering up for a new €6.7M project aiming to help rural East African communities adapt to climate change using state-of-the-art predictions of water scarcity and food insecurity.
