The key to powering sustainable energy transitions? Recycling e-waste. A new UN report shows vast reserves of critical metals like copper, aluminium and rare earths are discarded annually, yet barely a third get recycled. We must close this loop: https://thetrasheconomy.com/2024/05/07/closing-the-loop-how-prioritizing-e-waste-recycling-can-power-climate-action/

New research suggests geoengineering through stratospheric aerosol injection could help save the rapidly melting Antarctic ice sheet - but only if deployed within the next 5-10 years alongside deep emissions cuts. Time is running out: https://thetrasheconomy.com/2024/05/08/geoengineering-offers-the-potential-to-save-the-antarctic-ice-sheet/

The aviation industry pushes back on EU regulations that would require tracking & disclosing non-CO2 emissions from flights. Airlines argue the methodology is immature, but environmentalists say this obscures aviation's full climate impact. https://thetrasheconomy.com/2024/05/09/aviation-industry-fights-broader-eu-emissions-monitoring-rules/
