A U.N. report concluded carbon capture could offset fossil fuels’ effect on climate change. Two decades later, the process has failed to meaningfully scale up, and it’s proving hard to take the promises back.

New research finds current climate policies put Earth on a collision course with multiple environmental tipping points, threatening irreversible damage to global systems.

Report shows oil and gas companies are spreading confusion over the science of climate change solutions, leading to “misguided” ideas behind CCS use.

We need to make sure this report is not shelved. It needs to be talked about in every corner of the world, and most importantly—acted on.

“Such investments will soon be stranded assets, a blot on the landscape, and a blight on investment portfolios.”

The key to securing a liveable future is safeguarding and strengthening nature, the report stated.

"There is no point for us to just observe what a disaster is unfolding if nobody is doing anything about it."

“We have the solutions to prevent further harm to people and the planet—it’s time to implement them,” says 350.org. “We must start by putting an immediate end to fossil fuels.”

It’s at this level that people must focus much of their attention, to outweigh the influence of fossil fuel companies, find novel ways to fund decarbonisation and steer the economic recovery from COVID-19 towards a low-carbon future.
