- About us - Science Based Targets Initiative
To achieve this, GHG emissions must halve by 2030 – and drop to net-zero by 2050 Business has a critical role to play in driving down greenhouse gas emissions and building the resilient, thriving zero-emissions economy we urgently need This action must be grounded in science We need a race to the top, led by pioneering companies
- Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions by the Transportation Sector
For instance, carbon emissions derived from electric power generation based on fossil fuels (coal or gas) cannot be mitigated in the same manner as carbon emissions related to cement manufacturing Transportation accounts for about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions, with road transportation accounting for three-quarters of this share
- The Carbon Brief Profile: South Africa
South Africa is the world’s 14th largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) Its CO2 emissions are principally due to a heavy reliance on coal However, a recently released draft electricity plan proposes a significant shift away from the fuel, towards gas and renewables
- Climate impact of meat, vegetarian and vegan diets
The greenhouse gas emissions of food, and particularly meat products, is a big deal Food accounts for roughly a quarter of all human greenhouse gas emissions Of this, livestock constitutes about 56%, while only providing 37% of our protein and 18% of our calories
- Mexico | Climate Promise
In its updated NDC, Mexico has increased its mitigation targets, aiming for a 35% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, compared to a 22% reduction established in its previous submission in 2020 If external support is secured, Mexico commits to a GHG reduction of 40% by 2030, increasing its previous conditional target of 36%
- The impact of changing food choices on the blue water . . .
Several have argued that changing what we eat is an important component of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (e g , Garnett, 2014, Bajželj et al , 2014) and an individual's blue water scarcity footprint (Hess et al , 2015a) but most attempts to quantify the impact have focussed on substituting meat-based foods for plant-based foods in the diet
- The climate implications of using LNG as a marine fuel
Although liquefied natural gas (LNG) contains less carbon per unit of energy than conventional marine fuels, its use might not reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a life-cycle basis This paper compares the life-cycle GHG emissions of LNG, marine gas oil (MGO), very low sulfur fuel oil, and heavy fuel oil when used in engines
