India’s latest climate plan, required under terms of the Paris Agreement, has been criticized by advocates of faster action as lacking in ambition.

With countries around the world facing energy, climate and security challenges, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said nuclear energy is now widely recognized as an essential part of the solution.

A new goal pledges to cut carbon emissions per unit of gross domestic product by 17% by the end of the decade, and compares to a previous objective to deliver an 18% reduction in the five years through 2025 — which annual reports said was narrowly missed.

The 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding issued for mobile sources also provides the legally required finding that the US Environmental Protection Agency has relied on to regulate GHG emissions from other industrial sources, including the power sector and, for methane emissions, the oil and natural gas sector.

The European Climate Law already establishes climate neutrality by 2050 and a 55% net GHG reduction by 2030 (vs. 1990) as legally binding obligations for all member states.

Since early 2024, China’s emissions have been flat or declining, according to multiple independent trackers, even as power consumption climbed.

Winter Storm Fern (January 23–27, 2026) was a severe, multi-day arctic outbreak that brought record-low temperatures (as low as –43 °F in Minnesota), ice accumulations up to 0.80 inches, snowfall of 6–13 inches in the Ohio Valley, high winds, and widespread freezing precipitation across a vast corridor from northern Mexico through the Southern Plains, Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast.

The growing complexity of today’s energy ecosystem makes grid resiliency both a pressing challenge and a key differentiator for utilities and energy consumers.

The global average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere surged by 3.5 parts per million from 2023 and 2024, the United Nations agency said in its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin on Wednesday.

Britain should brace for warming of at least 2 degrees Celsius by 2050 and as much as 4C by the end of the century, the Climate Change Committee said in a letter on Wednesday. It was responding to a request for advice from the government about likely future climate scenarios.
