Emissions from this year's fire crisis are among those left out of the documentation. Underestimating the figures could cost the archipelago in terms of international assistance for peatland protection and REDD+ programs. Official documentation submitted by Indonesia to the UN climate talks in Paris this week dramatically underestimates deforestation...

The richest 10 percent have, on average, carbon footprints 11 times that of the poorest 3.5 billion people on the planet, the campaign group said in a report to coincide with talks in Paris this month on a global deal to slow climate change.

Better manure management to help cut EU farm emissions by 2025
2015-12-02 16:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture are expected to decline slightly by 2025 helped by better management of manure and a drop in beef production, which accounts for half of total EU farm emissions, the European Commission said on Wednesday. Agriculture is estimated to be a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions linked to rising global temperatures, notably due to cattle manure whose decomposition produces methane and nitrous oxide emissions. In a presentation at the EU Agricultural...
