The document outlines a significant increase in corporate awareness of nature's role in achieving Net Zero and business resilience between 2020 and 2023. While policy frameworks like the EU Deforestation Regulation and the Global Biodiversity Framework have provided clearer direction, food companies face substantial hurdles due to the complexity of measuring nature-based outcomes compared to carbon. The text emphasizes that food companies are uniquely positioned to impact nature due to their presence in the supply chain and advises a phased approach: identifying nature intersections, taking 'no regrets' actions like eliminating deforestation, engaging directly with farmers, and forming cross-industry partnerships.

Ember argues that Australia's coal mine methane emissions are significantly under-reported and that the current Safeguard Mechanism is insufficient to drive necessary reductions. The report recommends a 78% reduction in coal mine methane by 2030-2035, achieved through a combination of onsite mitigation and a phaseout of thermal coal mining. To support this, Ember urges the Climate Change Authority to implement a national methane action plan, establish a standalone methane reduction target in the next Nationally Determined Contribution, and overhaul the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) framework to replace generic emission factors with direct, site-specific measurements.

The Clean Miles Standard (CMS) is a California regulation requiring transportation network companies (TNCs) and autonomous vehicle (AV) providers with over 5 million annual vehicle miles traveled to transition to zero-emissions vehicles. By 2030, the regulation mandates that emissions from passenger miles traveled must be zero and 90 percent of all vehicle miles traveled must be powered by electric vehicles. To support this transition, the regulation establishes the Drivers Assistance Program (DAP) to provide financial and educational support to low- and moderate-income drivers, ensuring they are not disproportionately burdened by the shift. Compliance is monitored by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC), with mechanisms for over-compliance and optional credits for infrastructure investment or public transit integration.

The Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulation requires original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) or near-zero-emissions vehicles (NZEVs) between 2024 and 2035. Compliance is managed through a credit-based system where OEMs can generate credits via sales, purchase them from others, or bank them for future use. The regulation aims to reduce up to 17 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2040 and has been adopted by six other US states.

The document argues that reporting on extreme weather without mentioning climate change is incomplete and potentially inaccurate. It provides specific phrasing and examples for connecting various weather phenomena—such as heatwaves, droughts, floods, and hurricanes—to global warming, while highlighting the role of attribution science in quantifying these links. It also recommends tools like the Climate Central 'Climate Change Index' and World Weather Attribution for real-time data.

The author contends that Ukraine's recovery should not be a return to pre-war status but a comprehensive green transformation. This includes decentralizing the energy grid through wind and solar power to mitigate the impact of Russian attacks, modernizing agriculture to protect fertile chernozem soils, and aligning with the European Green Deal to accelerate EU membership. The text highlights the severe environmental damage caused by the invasion, including the Kakhovka Dam collapse and forest destruction, as urgent drivers for a sustainable reconstruction strategy.

The guide examines the current state of mining taxation, highlighting challenges such as base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), and proposes ten innovative policy ideas to improve revenue mobilization. These include minimum profit shares, production sharing contracts, variable royalties, and the 'Sixth Method' for transfer pricing. It also addresses the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and suggests the implementation of domestic carbon pricing and remote monitoring technologies for industrial minerals. The document emphasizes the need for transparent governance, professional board management for state-owned enterprises, and a balanced approach to fiscal stability clauses to ensure sustainable development.

A group of Norwegian cultural workers and artists call for an immediate end to new oil and gas exploration, arguing that the government's announcement of 92 new blocks contradicts the goals of the Paris Agreement and the warnings of the UN and IEA. The signatories emphasize that fossil fuel use drives the climate crisis, causing extreme weather events globally and threatening cultural heritage and human rights, and urge Norway to lead a just transition toward renewable energy.

The study evaluates territorial and consumption-based accounting (CBA) for subnational GHG emissions assessments. It finds that while territorial accounting is best for internal monitoring, CBA is superior for interregional comparisons and understanding global footprints, though it is harder to link to specific spatial planning decisions. The authors argue that using a single net emissions figure for climate targets can be misleading and that both methods are complementary for a thorough understanding of emission patterns.

The 'Climate Lockdown' narrative is a conspiracy theory claiming that global elites use climate change as a pretext to restrict civil liberties. Emerging in early 2020, the term shifted from early discussions about environmental benefits of COVID-19 lockdowns to a tool for climate sceptics and anti-elite movements. By late 2022, the narrative evolved to target urban planning initiatives, specifically '15-minute cities' and traffic filters in Oxford, UK, falsely framing them as precursors to authoritarian movement restrictions.

The document summarizes a session of the Think2030 Dialogue Sweden focused on climate security and trade. It highlights how changing geopolitical power relations and competition for food, energy, and natural resources are impacting multilateral collaboration on climate and trade. The discussion, framed by Henrik Carlsson, identified global environmental change, geopolitical shifts, and emerging technologies as the primary drivers of change, creating a landscape of interconnected risks and opportunities.

The brief submitted by CIEL and Greenpeace International asserts that anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions constitute marine pollution under UNCLOS. It argues that States have a legal duty to prevent, reduce, and control these emissions to protect and preserve the marine environment, specifically by limiting warming to 1.5°C. The authors contend that this duty requires an immediate halt to new fossil fuel projects, a transition to non-fossil fuel power by mid-century, and the implementation of adaptation measures. The brief emphasizes that ITLOS should interpret UNCLOS harmoniously with international human rights law and the best available science, applying principles such as the precautionary principle, intergenerational equity, and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDRRC-NC).

The Climate Bonds Initiative provides a voluntary certification scheme for sustainability-linked debt instruments, using science-based criteria to verify that corporate transition plans and performance targets are consistent with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Certification is available for single instruments or programmatic series, provided the issuer is a legal entity and the activities fall under existing Climate Bonds Standard Sector Criteria. The scheme offers two labels: 'Aligned' (Level 1) for those already aligned with 1.5°C pathways, and 'Transition' (Level 2) for those with plans to achieve alignment by 2030. The process requires a Certification Agreement, a Certification Information Form, and a Verification Report, with mandatory annual verification.

The author discusses the immediate impacts of climate-driven wildfires in North America, specifically the health risks associated with particulate matter and the necessity of implementing binding emission reductions and adaptation strategies in Canada.

The U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) has failed to meet Congressional goals for cellulosic biofuels, instead remaining dominated by land-intensive corn ethanol. The current structure lacks incentives for producers to reduce carbon intensity beyond fixed thresholds and fails to prioritize fuels for sectors like aviation that are difficult to electrify. The Clean Air Task Force recommends incorporating carbon intensity scores, limiting conventional biofuel volumes, and directing bioenergy toward hard-to-decarbonize sectors.

The document examines the impact of the 2021 heat wave on five First Nations in British Columbia, highlighting how colonial housing policies increased vulnerability while community solidarity and traditional knowledge provided critical protection. It details specific regional impacts—from urban challenges in the Tsleil-Waututh Nation to the infrastructure dependencies of the Haíɫzaqv (Heiltsuk Nation)—and argues for resilience planning rooted in Indigenous rights and localized data.

The document examines the 2021 extreme heat emergency's impact on five First Nations in British Columbia, categorised as urban (Tsleil-Waututh), rural (Kanaka Bar, Adams Lake, and Líl̓wat), and remote (Haíɫzaqv). It highlights how colonial housing policies created systemic vulnerabilities, while Indigenous kinship and cultural values provided protective resilience. Key findings include the severe disruption of food sovereignty, the failure of traditional water-based cooling due to rising temperatures, and the success of fuel-switching to heat pumps in remote areas. The report argues for trauma-informed, site-specific heat planning that moves beyond hazard-specific silos and integrates Indigenous knowledge.

The document outlines the interconnected risks of climate change, food insecurity, and national security, specifically focusing on how these factors drive instability in the Horn of Africa. It argues that food insecurity acts as both a byproduct and a driver of conflict, creating opportunities for violent extremist organizations like al-Shabab to gain influence. Using Ethiopia as a case study, the briefing highlights the impact of drought, floods, and interstate disputes over resources, while noting that the U.S. national security strategy recognizes global food systems as being under threat from climate events and geopolitical conflicts.

The author contends that continuing coal mining on U.S. public lands is incompatible with climate goals, noting that coal generates nearly 60% of energy sector CO2 emissions despite providing less than 25% of electricity. The text criticizes the Bureau of Land Management's focus on whether to maintain a leasing moratorium, arguing instead for a total phase-out of federal coal production by 2030 to align with 1.5°C targets. It calls for closing leasing loopholes, ensuring pollution cleanup, and utilizing Inflation Reduction Act investments to support energy communities and tribal lands.

The Regional Workshop on Climate, Environment, and Health, held in March 2023 in San Martín de los Andes, Argentina, focused on strengthening public institutional capacity to address environmental determinants of health (EDHs) in the Americas. The event convened nearly 100 experts from 20 countries to promote transdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration. Key outcomes included the development of 13 seed grant proposals addressing issues such as dengue, heatwaves, and zoonoses, and the announcement of the Belmont Forum Collaborative Research Action (CRA2) funding call. The workshop also highlighted local climate and health initiatives in Neuquén Province, including GHG inventory efforts in San Martín de los Andes and vector-borne disease control in Neuquén Capital.
