> Les mesures contre la voiture peuvent irriter, mais elles font bien mieux respirer Paris. Une nouvelle étude d’Airparif s’est penchée sur les raisons de l’amélioration remarquable de la qualité de l’air en Ile-de-France observée ces dernières années. Et ce, plus spécifiquement sur la période 2012-2022 [...]

> A boom in tourism over the past two decades is increasing pollution in Antarctica and accelerating the melting of snow, scientists have warned. Much of the pollution caused by the increase in human presence comes from transport powered by #fossilfuels releasing fine particles containing heavy metals into the #environment.

The collapse of a sixth round of U.N. talks aimed at curbing plastic output has dimmed hopes of tackling a source of pollution and left many pessimistic about a global deal during Donald Trump's time in the White House. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/19/sustainability/us-plastics-pollution-deal-geneva/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #plastic #pollution #environment #us #donaldtrump #republicans #un

In short, an act of sabotage against the single largest fossil fuel funder in the world. Researchers say that over the last four years, JP Morgan has pumped an eye-watering $192 billion into the industry

China's low-carbon technology trade: Facts and implications -

Kevin P. Gallagher, Renliang Liu, Jiaqi Lu, Ruyu Yin, Miaojie Yu, Praveena Bandara

"This study examines China's evolving role in global low-carbon technology (LCT) trade and its impact on climate mitigation. The novel data suggests China's transition from a net importer to a net exporter of LCTs over the past three decades. Employing a gravity-equation framework, we identify the economic and institutional factors that drive bilateral LCT flows. Fixed-effects regressions show that China's LCT exports significantly reduce partner-country CO₂ emissions, measured in total, per-capita, and intensity terms, and that these reductions are larger for high-income partners and for the energy-storage and pollution-control LCTs. We further find that partner-country human capital, political stability, and development assistance amplify these environmental benefits. We conclude with policy recommendations including sustained R&D investment, stable export prices, encouragement of outward FDI, further trade liberalization and improved international dialogue on capacity issues to advance global sustainable trade and decarbonization."
