Save the date: Net Zero Stocktake 2024, 23rd September In less than 2 weeks, the Net Zero Tracker will launch its flagship annual report on the quantity and quality of targets across nations, subnational governments and the world. Watch this space.

Agriculture will be one of the main sources of residual emissions at the point of net-zero GHG emissions. The new Agora Agrar study shows that even with very ambitious emission reductions, we'll emit 186 Mt CO2eq in the EU in 2045. agora-agriculture.org/fileadmin/Proj…

Australia's Climate Change Authority has a new national pathway out. Same goal, net zero GHG by 2050, but residual emissions down to 133 MtCO2e, less than half of what the Morrison government had estimated in their Mckinsey led strategy in 2021. Government ambition matters.

Delighted to join World Resources Institute WRI Climate for a #CDR webinar on September 17 at 10:00 ET / 16:00 CET. Together with Oliver Geden, Harry Smith, James Irungu Mwangi, Asser Berling, Katie Lebling and David Waskow, we will discuss the role of #carbonremoval in helping meet

We're excited to share that our latest study: Nitrogen Management during Decarbonization Read the full paper here: rdcu.be/dTtzJ

UK Power sector decarbonisation continuing at pace after the energy crisis.

Very excited to see our work on mining footprints of fossil and clean energy cited by Hannah Ritchie for Our World in Data! To recap: - Nuclear power has the lowest material footprint - Coal requires much more earth moved through mining than solar, wind, or nuclear power

Ran the Suffolk Coastal Ultramarathon on the weekend, was hot out but an enjoyable route down the coast path, passing Sizewell B nuclear power station.

NEW: The rise of global solar this year was significantly underestimated. AGAIN. Of the 6 major forecasters out there, all of them have been scrambling to update their forecasts through this year..

The UK closes its LAST coal plant at the end of this month, marking the beginning of its coal-free era. How did the home of the world’s first coal-fired power station finally phase it out? Read more in our latest report 👀 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

On Monday, the Net Zero Tracker will launch its fourth annual global Stocktake report. Shedding light on the global state of play on net zero, our latest analysis will provide essential analysis on commitments set by cities, states and regions. Watch this space.

I remember making this graphic back in 2018, tracking the UK's coal-free days for the first time.. Now from 1-October, when the UK's last coal power plant is closed, every day forever more will be coal-free and green💪

"Five principles for robust CDR policy in the G7" - new One Earth Commentary w/ Oliver Geden & Glen Peters. CDR policy is evolving rapidly but remains fragmented. G7 members are expected and have the capacity to lead (e.g. with a net-negative target) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our Sept issue is out! This month our featured theme is Carbon Negative Technologies. As human actions continue to emit greenhouse gasses at unsustainable rates, we are increasingly dependent on strategies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere … but how dependable are

New paper w Setu Pelz & alexnorton. Considering land-based CDR under #RioConvention safeguards. We find ecosystem integrity is a key synergy to achieve objectives of all 3 Conventions, and impacts on human rights must be included in CDR assessments. cell.com/one-earth/full…

🚨NEW DATA shows how fast key countries need to scale wind and solar to limit warming to 1.5°C. Across the 11 countries looked at, the technologies need to grow 5x by 2030 and 8x by 2035 to hit global climate goals. Let’s get into the weeds of it 🧵⤵️ climateanalytics.org/publications/1…
