Catalyzed by the conclusions of the 2021 Global Methane Assessment, the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) launched at the November 2021 Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow.

The United Nation’s High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) report focuses on net-zero emission commitments of non-state actors such as financial institutions, corporations, and local and regional governments.

An Eye on Methane: International Methane Emissions Observatory 2022 Report delves into the progress made to achieve deep reduction of methane emissions, starting with the fossil fuel sector. Need a strong basis for action grounded on improved emissions data to close the emissions gap and reduce warming in the short term.

At 2.4 tCO2e (tonne carbon dioxide equivalent), India’s per capita greenhouse gas emissions were far below the world average of 6.3 tCO2e in 2020, according to this new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

This report explores the historical trends, most recent progress and projected future paths towards mitigating climate change through reduced greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy gains and improved energy efficiency. It builds on data reported by the 27 EU Member States (EU-27), Iceland and Norway.

The manufacturing industry is a major source of global carbon dioxide emissions. Industrial production will continue to shift to emerging and developing economies. New investments are needed in low-carbon technologies to align industry’s growth with countries’ net-zero emission targets.

Indonesia is the world’s fourth-most populous country and is set to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by mid-century. The choices that Indonesia makes now and in the decades to come will have a significant bearing on the world’s energy markets and on international efforts to reach collective climate goals.

An Energy Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia aims to provide Indonesian and international stakeholders with a clear outline of how Indonesia can achieve net zero emissions, the role the energy sector can play, and the needed actions and investments.
