As climate change increasingly impacts our lives, international and regional judicial advisory opinions are reshaping our approach to the climate emergency. @IGSD_DC experts explain how these opinions could become crucial tools 👇 sdg.iisd.org/commentary/gues…

igsd.org/china-proposes-stre… Encouraging progress from China to regulate and reduce coal mine methane emissions. These represent a significant fraction of the country's total methane and nearly half of global coal methane emissions. New rules will ban venting of methane concentrations of 8% or more (down from 30%), and the emissions trading system will allow offsetting to fund investments under 8% concentrations. Thermal coal demand will continue to go down due to rising renewables, but metallurgical coal will continue to be used, has higher profit margins, and hence can sustain these investments. Thanks @IGSD_DC for the analysis.

"Instead of being fatalistic, we should be optimistic that we can prevent climate catastrophe by acting now on both super pollutants and carbon dioxide." Important new piece by @getgabbyd (@IGSD_DC ) and Christie Ulman (Sequoia Climate Foundation) weforum.org/agenda/2024/07/w…

Countries that ratify the #KigaliAmendment help to combat the rise in GHGs by phasing down climate warming refrigerants and adopting #energyefficient #cooling technologies 🌿 #MontrealProtocol advancing #ClimateAction
#DYK that #AirConditioning contributes around 3% of global GHGs? As #ExtremeHeat becomes more common & incomes rise, the number of AC units will skyrocket, driving up global #energy demand & GHG emissions. Clean #cooling solutions are vital. More info ⬇️ via @OurWorldInData

weforum.org/agenda/2024/07/w… Great op-ed by @IGSD_DC chief scientist @getgabbyd and Christie Ulman, president of Sequoia Climate Fund, regarding the opportunity to keep 1.5C alive by limiting superpollutants, which account for over half the warming to date.

Aggressive cuts in short-lived climate pollutants and phasing out fossil fuels would prevent four times as much warming as decarbonisation alone. Important article for the World Economic Forum. weforum.org/agenda/2024/07/w…

Today, the @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris Administration announced sweeping new actions to tackle #climatesuperpollutants. Climate super pollutants make up the OTHER HALF OF WARMING you might not know about. Here are 3 reasons why they matter: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room….

The United States and China have a unique opportunity to lead the charge against Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, a potent greenhouse gas 273 times more powerful than CO2. Join @ClimateAdvisers, @IGSD_DC, & @AsiaSociety at the upcoming event in Washington, DC, or virtually on July 23 from 9-10:30 AM EST to learn about the latest efforts in industrial N2O abatement. Hear from Bill Flederbach, ClimeCo’s President & CEO, and other experts on the panel, “Industrial N2O – An Overlooked Climate Opportunity in the US and China” as they discuss opportunities available to both countries to further #ClimateAction on industrial N2O emissions.

Last week, @Pontifex issued a strong call for reducing the rate of global warming by half in the near term with a “sprint” to rapidly reduce methane and the other super climate pollutants to help keep 1.5ºC within reach. Read more from @IGSD_DC ⬇️ ccacoalition.org/news/pope-g…

Reducir los supercontaminantes climáticos es ahora la única forma de frenar el ritmo de calentamiento a corto plazo. Todavía podemos salvarlo todo y no dejar a nadie atrás, afirma Durwood Zaelke, @IGSD_DC ipsnoticias.net/2024/06/elim…
