The promise of trillion-dollar sustainable finance initiatives rests on a triple fallacy: that we can make sense of them, that they are a measure of money that is available to finance or support climate-related causes, and that someone has structured and organized control over these amounts. It’s time to accept their extremely limited utility and move on

As energy systems decarbonize, ensuring a smooth transition to renewables will be critical for the economies and workers that currently depend on fossil-fuel-based generation. How can we move quickly while leaving no one behind?

Scope 3 emissions, those outside an organization’s direct control, are proving the most stubborn to reduce. Key to success is more companies working with their suppliers to adopt science-based targets throughout the whole value chain

Dimeta is a joint venture between SHV Energy and UGI International
to advance the production and use of renewable and recycled carbon
dimethyl-ether (DME), a low-carbon sustainable liquid gas, to accelerate the LPG industry’s transition to net zero

Is it possible to hold back, or reverse, large-scale degradation of land and tackle climate change?

Evidence is mounting that forest carbon offset credits are not working. Can a new approach, based on countries and companies making wider contributions to climate action beyond offsetting emissions, save the world’s forests?

Improvements in energy efficiency are a critical component in our quest to reach net zero by 2050. While rapid technological advances suggest the transformation is possible, we must also direct efforts to overcome the many challenges – from financial to behavioral – that remain

How do we protect the ever-increasing numbers of people forced to abandon their homelands due to the devastating impacts of our warming planet?

After decades of research, CCS has delivered only small carbon savings and has largely been utilized to extract more fossil fuels. But with most mitigation pathway models including CCS, what are its prospects – and ramifications?

With their unwavering gaze from above, satellites are an increasingly powerful tool to identify and monitor anthropogenic emissions, right down to pinpointing individual sites. Using this data to inform policy and direct climate action everywhere must be an urgent global priority
