Hill: Spending on technology and strategies aimed at fighting climate change are well behind the globe's needs, according to a new study from Stanford University. The report, released Tuesday by the Climate Policy Initiative, says that financing flows have hit a peak at $359 billion per year, which falls significantly short of the most conservative estimated needs for investing in climate policies. In order to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions, the report says, roughly $490 billion per year to $910...

Global panel seeks economic solutions to climate change

USA Today: Energy efficiency has more potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions than any other single current option, the World Bank's former chief economist Lord Nicholas Stern said Friday in co-launching a global panel to find cost-effective solutions to climate change. Boosting efficiency could provide 30% to 40% of needed carbon reductions while also lowering energy bills for businesses, governments and homes, Stern told reporters. He said there's also plenty of new energy technologies, including...
