• News 10 September 2020 United in Science report: Climate Change has not stopped for COVID-19 Climate change has not stopped for COVID19. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are at record levels and continue to increase, with emissions heading in the direction of pre-pandemic levels. The world is set to see its warmest five years on record – in a trend which is likely to continue - and is not on track to meet agreed targets to keep global temperature increase well below 2 °C or at 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. These are some of the findings of United in Science 2020, a…
• News 10 September 2020 Popular climate model now available in French Calculating current and future greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate actions is critical in the global struggle to limit the rise in temperatures. The GACMO model has been developed through more than 20 years of research at UNEP DTU Partnership to help countries calculate and track the emission reduction and estimated economic effects of about a hundred different climate mitigation actions across various energy sectors. Not only are precise calculations a pre-requisite for…
