AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoCOP31: Delegates are pressing wealthy nations to close the climate-finance gap and deliver support for developing countries, while Greta Thunberg warns that talks must lead to action. Island territories are also seeking ways around funding rules that leave many outside major climate-finance programmes. Energy and climate: Global emissions are projected to dip just 0.4% in 2026, largely because war-related oil shocks disrupted supply—not because of climate progress. A new outlook suggests energy-security concerns could nevertheless speed electrification and cut emissions. Policy: The US Senate advanced a bill to speed energy projects, drawing objections over weakened environmental protections and tribal rights. Canada is reviewing its Western Arctic oil and gas moratorium, though Prime Minister Mark Carney says the review is not a decision to lift it. Pollution and technology: Microplastics were found in samples from all 15 Chesapeake Bay watershed sites. More than 100 European groups are seeking a pause on new data centres over their energy and water demands, even as conservation groups use AI to track fires and wildlife. Clean power: Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia and Türkiye signed a pact to expand cross-border trade in clean electricity.
