A recent article details the complex web of misdeclarations and corruption that keeps the flood of Europe’s plastic waste flowing into Türkiye

This approach aligns with the established role of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in managing unavoidable biogenic waste, recovering partly renewable energy and materials, preventing methane emissions from landfilling, and supporting circular resource use while contributing to climate-neutrality objectives.

By using renewable biological resources from land and sea and providing alternatives to critical raw materials, the EU will move forward towards a more circular and decarbonised economy and can decrease dependence on fossil imports

Among the discussions, the urgency of action on methane emissions stood out, a gas whose global warming potential is 86 times greater than that of COâ‚‚ over a 20-year horizon.

If governments were to implement three key climate actions they already negotiated and agreed in 2023 they could cut global emissions by 18 billion tonnes in 2035 compared to current emission projections, according to new analysis released at COP30 today by the Climate Action Tracker.

During the COP30 conference, the UN and Climate and Clean Air Coalition published an assessment of the global effort to reduce methane emissions revealing a rise rather than reduction in global methane emissions.

The report warns that only full-scale implementation of proven and available control measures will close the gap to the Global Methane Pledge’s target of a 30% cut from 2020 levels by 2030

Today, the European Parliament formally endorsed the one-year delay of the new EU carbon price for heating and transport fuels (ETS2) proposed by EU governments.

On Thursday, Parliament endorsed reduced reporting duties and due diligence requirements for companies.

The world wastes over one billion tonnes of food every year, contributing up to 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
