A major new report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change calls for an urgent shift away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy technologies in order to rein in global warming.
Why it matters: The IPCC's assessment reports set the terms of the climate debate with world leaders, CEOs and activists. A 2018 report galvanized a global youth protest movement.
An agenda-drivingUnited Nations climate report is about to drop that will lay out pathways toward a lower-carbon, more resilient and less perilous future.
The intrigue: It was supposed to surface hours ago, but negotiations between UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientists and the panel's government representatives blew way past their deadline.
There's growing financial and policy momentum behind direct air capture tech that pulls CO2 from the atmosphere, a new International Energy Agency report finds.
Yes, but: There's a long way to go before the tech, which is only in nascent stages of deployment, can play a meaningful role in combating climate change.
