UN: Paris climate plans cut emissions just 10% by 2030

Climate Home: The UN has released a mixed report card on nearly 150 plans submitted by countries ahead of a proposed global deal to slash greenhouse gas emissions. A 67-page study compiled by UN officials says the intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) from governments represent a significant shift in attitudes towards tackling climate change. But echoing previous assessments by analysts, it warns global warming is on course to break through the 2C above pre-industrial levels deemed dangerous....

Bloomberg: The biggest global warming battle youve never heard of kicks off in Dubai this weekend. Climate negotiators from across the globe will gather in the Persian Gulf city to debate how to get rid of hydrofluorocarbons -- a class of hundreds of artificial chemicals used in refrigerators, air-conditioners, fire suppressants and other widely used products. While less common than greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane, HFCs can be thousands of times more potent, pound for pound, at heating up...

Observers say it is the first time that so many leading Buddhists have joined together on a global issue. The statement from the leaders of over a billion Buddhists worldwide...
UN says climate curbs will slow, but not reverse, temperature rise

Agence France-Presse: Plans by 146 countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions will slow climate change this century and keep alive a goal of limiting a rise in temperatures to two degrees Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit), the United Nations said on Friday. But even if these 10-to-15 year plans are fulfilled, humanity will have used up three-quarters of its carbon "budget" by 2030 and must slash greenhouse gas output even more to avoid devastating climate impacts, the UN's Climate Change Secretariat warned. "An unprecedented...
