[New] Land Use and Agriculture Just Transition Plan which sets out how Scottish Government will move to a net-zero, climate-resilient economy by 2045, whilst ensuring fair process and creating green jobs, particularly in high-emission sectors.

[New] Nippon Steel have formulated a target of reducing total CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to the 2013 baseline and of achieving carbon neutrality in 2050.
Nippon Steel Corporation
[New] The CBGDP pathway involves a significant ramp-up of engineered removals after 2030 to support delivery of the Sixth Carbon Budget.
Climate Change Committee
[New] Limiting ambition to that in the CBGDP would risk signalling a delay in UK ambition, particularly on plans to electrify key sectors, which could undermine other countries' commitment to growing markets for low-carbon technologies and delivering ambitious reductions in emissions.
Climate Change Committee
[New] With the closure of the more widely available Energy Company Obligation scheme, there is a risk that installations of heat pumps fall, especially in low-income households.
Climate Change Committee
[New] If all clean steel projects start on time, most of Europe's steel production will come from low-carbon electric arc furnaces and not coal-based blast furnaces.
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
[New] Looking ahead, the next Multiannual Financial Framework and the proposed European Competitiveness Fund will need to scale up and surgically spend resources - including grants, guarantees, and low-interest loans-on strategic clean technologies.
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
[New] Japanese research labs are deeply focused on geologic hydrogen-extracting clean, low-cost molecules directly from the earth - which is an area where collaboration could help European researchers unlock their own resources.
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
[New] Turkey would need nearly four times its 2035 wind and solar target and close to $1 trillion of cumulative power-sector investment by 2050 to align with a net-zero pathway.
BloombergNEF
[New] Future projections indicate continued revenue growth of 6-8% annually through 2028, driven primarily by smoke-free portfolios.
MarkNtel Advisors
[New] Beyond LNG, EU-US cooperation could be expanded beyond LNG to include standard-setting for critical raw materials, key technologies and infrastructure (such as small modular reactors, carbon capture and storage, and grid technologies).
Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP)
[New] Declining prices are making renewable energy more attractive worldwide - including to low- and middle-income countries, where most of the future demand for new electricity will arise.
United Nations
[New] UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently called on AI firms to disclose the full carbon, water, and land footprint of their data centers, warning that communities should not be left bearing hidden costs they never agreed to.
FTI Strategic Communications
[New] A permanent surtax on the profits of fossil fuel companies - whose profits have again jumped on the back of the Iran war - applied at global level to the biggest oil and gas corporations could raise tens of billions, enough to pay for several years of free buses, trams and trains.
Greenpeace International
[New] Announced underground hydrogen storage projects could provide 11 TWh of capacity by 2035 (335 kt H2), but just over 7% has reached final investment decision (FID) or is under construction, equivalent to 0.6% of the estimated throughput from committed low-emissions hydrogen projects.
IEA
[New] Trade remains a key driver of low-emissions hydrogen projects, and would underpin over 40% of announced volumes by 2030 if all projects materialise.
IEA
[New] Natural hazards cost low- and middle-income countries approximately $390 billion annually - equivalent to 1-2 percent of GDP.
IFC
[New] The future of decarbonization will depend not only on how rapidly the world abandons fossil fuels, but on how the new geography of industrial power is ultimately constructed - and by whom.
Global Policy Journal
[New] As global efforts to achieve carbon neutrality amplify, the transition to electric mobility is expected to gain effective momentum, driving the rapid expansion of the EV segment.
Polaris
[New] The United Nations has launched an AI Environmental Transparency Initiative calling on AI companies to disclose the carbon, water, and land-use impacts of their data centers and transition to renewable energy by 2030.
MarketingProfs
[New] California's 15 mph cap applies equally on flat ground and on hills - but on a steep San Francisco or Marin County incline, a low-powered scooter will slow to 8-10 mph even at full throttle, creating a hazard for traffic behind you.
NAVEE_US
A projected decline in the extent of permafrost will have a major impact on the Earth ecosystem, affecting global climate through the mobilization of carbon and nitrogen stored in permafrost.
Arctic Portal - The Arctic Gateway
The exponential rise in AI workloads and hyperscale data center expansion is intensifying global power demand, creating a high-value opportunity for small modular reactors as low-carbon, reliable energy sources.
