The sessions in Bonn are […]Advanced methane technologies can strengthen new landfill pollution limits
Updated: 2024-05-20 14:09:47(This post was co-authored by EDF’s Peter Zalzal) When organic waste ends up in landfills, it produces methane — a powerful climate pollutant —as it decomposes. In the U.S., landfills are our third largest source of methane and a major driver of climate change. They also emit large amounts of health-harming and even cancer-causing pollution, […]We urgently need pollution limits for hydrogen facilities

The Environmental Protection Agency has now finalized a wide array of standards to protect people and the climate from dangerous pollution. Those standards cover some of the largest polluting sectors in the U.S., including oil and gas production, power plants, and cars and trucks. But there’s another source of dangerous pollution that still isn’t subject […]Financing Solutions for Slow Onset Climate Challenges: Drawing on Nature’s Untapped Potential
Updated: 2024-05-08 18:03:14
While it may be convenient to place slow onset events like biodiversity loss on the backburner, financing climate solutions now is a more cost-effective approach in the long run. By embracing creative financial mechanisms and harnessing the power of nature-based approaches, we can pave the way for a more resilient tomorrow.
