Why a circular economy is key to addressing climate change? The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has launched a new paper, in collaboration with Material Economics, revealing the need for a fundamental shift in the global approach to tackling climate change and relying solely on renewable energy is not enough.

The IEA released a roadmap for realizing net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the energy sector by 2050. The new net-zero model signals a critical shift in the IEA’s ambition, moving the yardstick for achieving net-zero emissions two decades earlier.

WRI, WWF, and HSBC have launched a US$100m Climate Solutions Partnership, which aims to accelerate efforts to scale up climate innovation ventures, nature-based solutions, and renewable energy and energy efficiency in Asia

Global energy systems must undergo a wholesale switch to low-carbon and energy-efficient technologies to achieve a net-zero emissions by the mid-century. Yet in reality, there has been no urgency in facilitating clean energy transition given the projected economic models. However, this blog identifies how the low-carbon transition may actually end up being much cheaper than models initially predicted.

IFC report reveals how a green post-COVID recovery focused on decarbonizing energy infrastructure, building climate-smart cities, and accelerating a shift to more sustainable production can gain economic and climate benefits -
based on analysis from 10 key sectors across 21 major emerging market economies that represent 62% of the world's population and 48% of global GHG emissions.

Did you know that one kilogram of hydrogen has roughly the same energy content as one gallon of gasoline, and yet when burnt, it only emits water? This blog provides an insight into the application of hydrogen in industrial activities. This article further shows how representatives of countries have introduced their strategies and prioritisations in working efficiently to achieving a green hydrogen economy.
