Paris climate deal must signal end to carbon economy: experts

Reuters: A new global climate change deal, due to be agreed in Paris in December, must give clear guidance that moving away from fossil fuels is inevitable and wise, economists said on Friday. It must also usher in an era when governments, businesses, activists and citizens find innovative ways to make that shift happen, experts told a Paris meeting of climate scientists. Paris will not solve all, of course, said Laurence Tubiana, Frances ambassador to the U.N. climate talks. But we have to have every...
Tropical peatland carbon losses from oil palm plantations may be underestimated

ScienceDaily: Draining tropical peatlands for oil palm plantations may result in nearly twice as much carbon loss as official estimates, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment and the Union of Concerned Scientists in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Peatlands -- waterlogged, organic soils -- have developed over thousands of years as carbon storage systems. In Southeast Asia, peat swamp forests cover about 250,000 square kilometers, a land...

But new commitments to cut emissions by China, the United States, Europe and other countries, as part of a new global deal due in December to tackle climate change, will play a big role in pushing energy investment toward cleaner alternatives, economist Fatih...

Reuters: The European Parliament on Wednesday approved a proposal to begin reform of the world's biggest carbon market in 2019, clearing the last major hurdle before the plan can become law. EU carbon allowances at around 7.50 euros per metric ton were little changed after the vote, which had been largely expected. Discussions have dragged on for months over the proposal to begin operating a Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to remove some of the surplus of carbon allowances that has depressed prices on the...
