As we enter another year, we are constantly reminded that the climate change clock is ticking – but how much time do we really have? This article outlines the key climate targets we must achieve if we are to limit the worst impacts of climate change and secure a planet where we can all thrive.… Continue reading The global climate targets explained
As the world looks for ways to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the importance of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly apparent. The World Economic Forum notes that renewable energy can help countries mitigate climate change, build resilience to volatile prices, and lower energy costs. This is especially critical now as spiking fossil… Continue reading How Solar Power can Potentially Benefit Developing Countries by J Hawkins

Recent years have seen the number of community energy schemes increasing across the nation in an effort to combat the climate crisis with renewable energy solutions. However, while the number of these groups is increasing, their further development and growth is stunted. Such providers are unable to sell their clean energy to local areas owing… Continue reading The Community Energy Revolution
The signs of climate change are becoming increasingly evident and drastic. As 2022 comes to an end, we’re looking at how the climate has changed this year. We’re starting in the European Alps which took an exceptional toll with record-shattering ice melt. Average thickness losses of 3 to over 4 metres were measured across the… Continue reading Climate change unwrapped: 2022
After delays due to COVID, the much-anticipated COP26 triggered a new wave of climate hope as countries from across the world agreed that more urgently needs to be done to prevent a dangerous rise in global atmospheric temperatures. With COP27 just around the corner, we are looking back at what has changed since last year’s… Continue reading What can we expect from COP27 after the pledges made at COP26?
We all have a carbon footprint, it is an unavoidable side effect of daily life. However, the size of everyone’s carbon footprint varies drastically. A recent study has discovered that in one year the top 1% of earners in the UK are responsible for the same volume of greenhouse gas emissions as the bottom 10%… Continue reading The emission gap
Annual greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels between 2010 to 2019, since then the increase has slowed slightly. However, there is still a long way to go in reducing our emissions. Without immediate and drastic emission reductions across all industries, limiting global warming to 1.5°C will remain a distant target. We are seeing… Continue reading The solutions exist we need to implement them
The Earth’s temperature is increasing by approximately 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade. We have experienced the warmest seven years since 2015, with an 11% chance that 2022 will rank among the top five. If our current rates of warming continue, a new analysis reports that we risk crossing six “dangerous” climate tipping points. Many… Continue reading Living on the edge: the irreversible climate tipping points less than 1°C away
As the Chief Executive of the Vegetarian Society, I am very aware that I occupy a privileged position. I lead the world’s oldest vegetarian organisation, formed way back in 1847 and with a rich history of activist members including none other than Mahatma Gandhi. But as we prepare to celebrate our 175th birthday, I am… Continue reading Change your diet to change the world by The Vegetarian Society
