Local/Regional emmissions mean little at this point. It is the
#GlobalEmissions which matter and they continue to skyrocket.

Renewable energy produces more electricity than coal for the first time, experts say
Solar and wind are now growing fast enough to not only meet the world's growing appetite for electricity, but to outstrip it.

“The shift helps [Nepal] achieve its Paris Agreement goal of reaching 90 percent adoption of EVs for private four-wheeled vehicles by 2030, which will help curb air pollution in Kathmandu, where the city’s mountainous geography traps pollutants.”

research sheds new light on the links between income-based #emissions inequality and #climateinjustice, illustrating how the consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on #extremeweatherevents. These impacts are especially severe in vulnerable tropical regions like the #AmazonBasin, #SoutheastAsia, and southern #Africa—all areas that have historically contributed the least to #globalemissions.
World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds
Wealthy individuals have a higher carbon footprint. A new study published in Nature Climate Change quantifies the climate outcomes of these inequalities. It finds that the world's wealthiest 10% are responsible for two-thirds of observed global warming since 1990 and the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts.
"While #globalemissions trends illustrate the challenges we face, there are signs that humanity may be nearing a peak in #globalclimatepollution. #Emissions from wealthy countries have been declining, but these efforts must accelerate, and financial support for #developingcountries is essential to help them transition to #cleanenergy solutions.
