Former officials at FAO, the UN's agricultural wing, say they were censored, sabotaged and victimized for more than a decade after writing about the extremely harmful contribution of methane emissions from livestock farming to global warming.
The United Arab Emirates, host of the UN COP28 in December, failed to report its emissions of methane – a powerful greenhouse gas – to the UN for almost a decade, British newspaper The Guardian revealed.

The European Council said there was agreement on a proposal to monitor and reduce methane emissions in the energy sector. In a statement, the European Union (EU) body said that the text is the third of its kind and a “crucial contribution to climate action, as methane is the second most important greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide.” .

The concentration of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, increased to record levels in the atmosphere last year, as did carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide – the United Nations (UN) revealed this Wednesday (26). In a statement, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) explained that the reason for this exceptional increase in the concentration of methane, which has a much more powerful effect than CO2 but less lasting, “is not clear, but appears to be the result of biological and human-induced processes”.
Keeping an eye on the demands of the Global Methane Commitment, researchers mapped the main activities and processes responsible for methane emissions in Brazil and pointed out ways to reduce emissions in the long term. According to the report, 81% of gas emissions caused by forest fires are associated with deforestation. Because it concentrates a large part of carbon stocks and deforestation, the Amazon leads emissions caused by fires.

See highlights from Curto Green this Monday (17): report points out that if Brazil expands existing policies in agriculture, energy, sanitation and deforestation control, it could reduce methane emissions by 36% by 2030; Portugal abandons coal and invests in renewable energy; study shows that the recovery of degraded pastures in Brazil could cost more than R$380 billion; YouGreen, the garbage collectors' cooperative that gains franchises across Brazil; and a free E-book where USP researchers explain the impact of microplastics on ecosystems.
The power of artificial intelligence (AI) to process enormous amounts of data and help humans make decisions is transforming industries. As one of the world's most difficult challenges, combating climate change is another area where AI has transformational potential.
Many industries have adopted artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool over the past year, including climate solutions companies. From detecting pollution to wildfires, companies are discovering that AI can help translate large volumes of climate-related data faster and more efficiently.
