A new study, led by IIASA researchers and coauthored by UNEP colleagues, finds that if governments fully implement their methane reduction plans, they could reduce global emissions by 11% between 2020 and 2030. This would reverse the current trend of increasing methane emissions, but would not be sufficient to achieve the goal of the Global Methane Pledge.

Concerns about siting, water and electricity demand have led to calls for more oversight of data center construction in the Cowboy State, but not alignment on how to achieve it. By Jake Bolster CODY, Wyo.-On a warm October evening at a bar in downtown Cody, Wyomingites gathered to ponder the future of what some hope will be the Cowboy State's next booming industry: data centers.

As the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity's 17th summit opens in Yerevan, Armenia, on Oct. 19, what's at stake for Africa? In 2022, parties signed the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework, agreeing to maintain, restore, and substantially increase the area of natural ecosystems and end human-induced extinction of threatened species; to sustainable use of biodiversity; to fair and equitable sharing of both monetary and non-monetary benefits derived from genetic resources; and to establish adequate means to implement the framework - including finance, scientific cooperation and . . .

Arizona's first three NEVI-funded DC fast-charging stations are finally online, giving EV drivers more places to plug in along I-10, I-19, and I-8. more . . .

BYD's new Tang EV, its "tech-savvy" flagship five-seat SUV, was revealed in a regulatory filing with dual electric motors delivering a combined 690 horsepower. The interior is even more impressive. more . . .

Fifty automated recording units scattered across the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. gather roughly 500,000 hours of ambient sound each year. Computer models then sift through those recordings for wolf vocalizations, reports Justin Catanoso for Mongabay. Jeffrey Reed, a linguist and former software engineer, helped launch the Cry Wolf Project in 2023 within the long-running Yellowstone Wolf Project. It uses machine learning to pick out and analyze wolf calls. It turns the audio into spectrograms that reveal the structure of individual calls. So far, the project has . . .

The polished leather of Francisco "Torrinho" Torres' shoes gleamed as he walked toward the lectern in the plenary chamber of the Pará state legislature in the Brazilian Amazon. The 57-year-old rancher-turned-politician moved unhurriedly as he prepared to deliver a speech that would set in motion a series of events leading to new invasions of the Ituna/Itatá Indigenous Territory.

Behind his sharp suit and the supportive nods of his agribusiness . . .

Every loaf of bread has a carbon footprint, a supply chain and a workforce behind it. As climate change, food safety and labor rights attract growing attention, corporate disclosures on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are becoming increasingly important. But what do companies disclose, and have their priorities changed?

Scientists monitoring the deep ocean near the disaster site found that animal populations declined by as much as 80 percent, with little evidence of recovery. By Bob Berwyn Across hundreds of miles of the northern Gulf of Mexico, a deep-water ecosystem collapsed after the massive 2011 Deepwater Horizon oil and gas spill, and recovery is uncertain, new research concludes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, air travel declined dramatically. Many view the disruption as a potential tipping point for reducing emissions from the aviation sector. However, once travel restrictions were lifted, passenger traffic quickly rebounded to prepandemic levels and, in many regions, even surpassed them.

Lowering air pollution in Africa has many economic benefits, according to new research by environmental scientists Chris Malley, Kevin Hicks and Caroline Sawe. They reflect on two reports that set out the practical ways that African countries can cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, while saving billions through lower health care costs, fewer days lost to illness and greater productivity.

Funded with a $2 million federal grant, the program involves utility regulators and the nonprofit Team Pennsylvania.

The dire projections come from the state's Climate Change Assessment, which analyzes the impacts of changing weather patterns on the nation's most-populous state.

One-quarter of the world's data centers are located in areas where water demand exceeds supply for at least one month each year, according to a new global analysis. Researchers reporting in Environmental Science & Technology mapped data center locations against available water resources and found that, under a future climate scenario, the proportion of facilities in water-stressed areas could rise to one-third.
