The infrastructure sector is responsible for 79% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with the energy and transport sectors being major contributors. To mitigate climate change effectively, it is essential for the infrastructure sector to significantly reduce its carbon footprint.  Read more in this article by Evelyn Hernandez and Maria da Graça Prado: https://bit.ly/3xw6OPK

On the route to #NetZero emissions, Canadian municipalities need to know where they stand today. The new database and report from the Municipal Net-Zero Action Research Partnership (N-ZAP) provide an important snapshot of the state of climate action in #CDNmuni. These survey findings can guide your decision-making as you set ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and continue to move forward on the route to net zero.

"Most fossil fuel companies produced more fossil fuels in the seven years after the Paris Agreement than in the seven years before the Agreement’s adoption." Some shocking statistics from the Carbon Majors most recent report and a stark reminder that more should be done to hold these companies accountable. Nonetheless, this should also serve as motivation for those of us supporting companies in combatting climate change & creating a more sustainable future for generations to come 🌍 #climatechange #climateemergency #parisagreement

The CO2-binding society as a goal 👍 Eawag Director Martin Ackermann and Empa Director Tanja Zimmermann want to provide answers to the current climate crisis with new initiatives and ambitious goals. In this interview, they explain why this is primarily a water crisis, what is needed to tackle it and what can be produced from the greenhouse gas CO2. 👉 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dSSMRnji #research #co2 #climatecrisis #aquaticresearch

Ambitious and swift methane emissions reductions are key to meeting global climate goals. On March 12 at 10 a.m. CT, join experts from GTI Energy’s Veritas and UN Environment Programme's OGMP 2.0 for a discussion about the initiatives’ joint methodology – designed to help industry meet OGMP 2.0 methane emissions reduction requirements using Veritas protocols.     Register here: https://lnkd.in/dP5BDg2M  

A mere 57 oil, gas, coal and cement producers are directly linked to 80% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since the 2016 Paris climate agreement, a study has shown. #greenhousegas #emissions #emission #climatecrisis #climateemergency #climatechange #environment #environmental

It can be overwhelming to keep up with all the information and data about climate change. This is why the recent study from InfluenceMap is so relevant. It sheds light on which companies are not meeting the requirements of the Paris Agreement. It's interesting to note that some of the companies on the list have net zero emissions targets. The study reveals that only 57 companies that produce oil, gas, coal, and cement are responsible for 80% of the world's global fossil CO2 emissions since the Paris Climate Agreement signed in 2016. #climatechange #ESG

The new National Climate Change Act requires certain categories of companies to submit annual reports on their carbon footprint to the Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency Greece (NECCA - ΟΦΥΠΕΚΑ). The Carbon Footprint Report includes the calculation of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption for the previous year and should be verified by an officially recognized body.   At #CORDIA we undertake the calculations and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and the preparation of a carbon footprint report based on the requirements of ISO 14064-1 and the GHG protocol.   Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gpRAnXFN   #cordiagr #energytransition #co2 #reducecarbonfootprint

The urgent need for managing the national, regional and global atmospheric balance of Greenhouse gases (also known as GHGs) is increasing. Measuring carbon footprints through GHG Accounting is an important process for tracking quantities of GHGs, helping organizations keep track of emissions of their operations and activities.
