Wealthiest 10% Caused Two-Thirds of Global Warming Since 1990: Study
A new ETH Zurich study published in Nature reveals that the wealthiest 10 percent of the global population have caused about two-thirds of human-induced global warming since 1990, contributing disproportionately to extreme weather events like century-heat waves, particularly in China and the USA; re...

Germany's 2023 Emissions: Progress Masked by Persistent Shortfalls
Germany's greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 3.4 percent in 2023 to 649 million tons, primarily due to reduced coal use, but persistent shortfalls in transportation and forestry threaten climate targets and risk EU penalties; a new 100 billion euro fund aims to address this.

Poland's Coal Plant Emission Cuts Amidst Energy Transition
Poland's Belchatow power plant, a major emitter, has drastically reduced emissions since the 1990s; however, it faces closure as Poland transitions away from coal under the EU's Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), despite challenges in replacing coal energy.

Frequent Flyer Levy Proposed to Curb UK Aviation Emissions
The UK's Climate Change Committee proposes a Frequent Flyer Levy (FFL) to curb aviation emissions, incrementally taxing frequent flyers based on CO2 emissions per flight, aiming to achieve net-zero by 2050, as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) alone is deemed insufficient.
