From wooden buildings to air filters – how green cities could remove CO2 from the atmosphere
More than a thousand cities around the world now have #NetZero pledges: they want to emit only as much #CO2 into the atmosphere as they can simultaneously recapture.
Technically speaking, urban removals of this most important #GreenhouseGas could add up to one gigatonne (i.e. 1,000 million tonnes) per year by mid-century.
Our new report 'Heavy Lifting Required' finds that if companies want to be aligned with the IEA #NetZero emissions scenario, they need to have more than 13 million zero #emission Heavy Duty Vehicles on the road by 2035 https://buff.ly/4dnWUzD
Australian 🇦🇺 pension giant Australian Retirement Trust has said it will stop investing in 'most' thermal coal companies from July as part of a plan to hit #NetZero emissions across its portfolio by 2050 https://buff.ly/44sTibD
Heavy Delivery Vehicles (HDVs) 🚛 account for just 3% of road transport sector vehicles, but generate 30% of all road transport #emissions. Our new report ‘Heavy Lifting Required’ finds Truck Makers’ Electric Transition is too slow for #NetZero targets https://buff.ly/4dnWUzD
KLM Loses Dutch #Greenwashing Case on Climate Advertising
"#KLM makes climate claims in advertisements that are “based on vague and general statements about environmental benefits, thereby misleading consumers,” the district court of Amsterdam said in its judgment Wednesday. The carrier didn’t provide travelers with honest and concrete information, it said."
The EU is cracking down on airlines' advertising that are misleading on:
– "#CarbonOffsets
– “sustainable aviation fuels” (SAF)
– the terms “green”, “sustainable” or “responsible”
– unverifiable "#NetZero" goals
– potentially misleading practices around the carbon emissions of specific flights
Airlines have 30 days to respond with their plans how to address this.
