A billion hectares – or an area a bit larger than the US – that is how much land that would be required globally to meet countries’ net-zero climate targets. For the first time researchers can show the rate and extent of projected land use changes, geographically and over time. The findings demonstrate a gap between governments’ expected reliance on land and the role that land can realistically pl

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ
