In a United Nations address yesterday, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged that China would not build new coal-fired power projects abroad, and would step up support for other developing countries to accelerate the transition to green and low-carbon energy.

The World Health Organization’s update of the global Air Quality Guidelines is an important step forward.

The current decade is critical to put the medium and heavy-duty vehicle sector on a path toward a clean energy future.

Electric trucks provide an opportunity for organizations with fleets to fundamentally transform the environmental impact of their operations. But rather than the incremental progress of better pollution control equipment and improved fuel efficiency we’ve seen play out over the past two decades, the technical innovation in electric vehicles over the past few years has been […]

Unsustainable fishing remains among the planet’s most serious and elusive environmental challenges. When it comes to the ocean, scientists agree that while reducing and mitigating climate risks is the biggest long-term threat, getting fishing intensity right is the biggest near-term need. Unknown to most people, concerted efforts have been underway now for more than 25 […]

The environmental integrity of emissions reductions depends on scale and systemic changes, not on sector of origin of the emissions We urgently need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions far beyond current climate pledges, even if these were fully attained. But there’s a completely doable way to make major progress, near to hand. Natural climate solutions […]
