Environmental News Network: More than 190 countries are meeting in Paris next week to create a durable framework for addressing climate change and to implement a process to reduce greenhouse gases over time. A key part of this agreement would be the pledges made by individual countries to reduce their emissions. A study published in Science today shows that if implemented and followed by measures of equal or greater ambition, the Paris pledges have the potential to reduce the probability of the highest levels of warming, and...

New Scientist: The offers on the table for the UN`s climate summit in Paris this month are not enough to limit warming to 2 °C, a level considered to be relatively safe. But a series of recent analyses suggest a deal could put us on course to keep warming below 3.7 °C - perhaps as low as 2.7 °C. The analyses are based on the actions countries are prepared to take, known as their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. These only cover the period up to 2030, and many are very vague, so a host of assumptions...

But for an average EUR547,000 payment,...

Since 2009, for instance, the cost of wind power in the US has fallen 60 per cent while solar has fallen 80 per cent. "Just one thing would be enough to halt climate change," renowned wildlife programme maker David Attenborough said recently. "If clean energy became cheaper than coal, gas or oil, fossil fuel would simply stay in the ground." We are getting...
