The European Union's support for biofuels may not be the most cost-effective way for the 27-country bloc to tackle climate change, a new study has concluded.

The rush for ‘biofuels’ is already causing serious damage. Far from being sustainable, the spread of what are more accurately called ‘agrofuels’ – liquid fuels produced from biomass grown in large-scale monocultures – is compromising biodiversity and fuelling human rights violations, according to a new report.

A joint report by John Cavanagh, John Feffer and Daphne Wysham at Foreign Policy in Focus, spelling out the key misconceptions on climate change.

Policymakers should prioritise investments in sustainable energy solutions to stop the climate crisis and not succumb to pumping vast amounts of taxpayers money into the elusive promise of carbon capture and storage (CCS), concludes Greenpeace in a new report.

At least one billion people risk fleeing their homes over the next four decades because of conflicts and natural disasters that will worsen with global warming, a relief agency warned Monday.

A new global warming report issued Friday by the United Nations paints a near-apocalyptic vision of Earth's future: hundreds of millions of people short of water, extreme food shortages in Africa, a landscape ravaged by floods and millions of species sentenced to extinction.

Chaired by Gro Harlem Brundtland in Oslo, 1987, the oft-called Brundtland Report made the strong and ever-relevant case that global cooperation is required to address the urgency of a damaged environment, thus placing environmental issues firmly on the political agenda.
