Covid-19 and climate change - COVID-19 can be an historic turning point in tackling the global climate crisis
Ministers must seize the opportunity to turn the COVID-19 crisis into a defining moment in the fight against climate change, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) says today.
Tree planting, peatland restoration, and green infrastructure. Investing in nature, including in our towns and cities, offers another quick route to opportunities for highly-skilled employment, and outcomes that improve people’s lives.
By making substantial changes in our use of land, which are needed to meet the UK’s Net Zero target, we will bring significant benefits for the climate, biodiversity, air quality, and flood prevention.
A ‘mass experiment’ for the climate
There is indeed a large movement to “build back better” from the pandemic in a way that confronts the climate crisis
Google Trends shows that during worldwide lockdowns the global number of online searches for “bird sounds”, “identify trees”, and “growing plants” reached double what they were a year ago.
An opportunity for us to move to a more sustainable lifestyle, but only if leaders are willing to take decisive steps to alter the cues around us.
Perhaps the change will be driven by cities, not countries.
Offsetting carbon emissions: ‘It has proved a minefield’
As millions of Britons jet off to foreign climes for their holiday this month, the more environmentally minded travellers will have salved their consciences by paying for trees to be planted to compensate for the carbon emissions caused by their flight.
However, the new research found that trees bathed in extra carbon dioxide grew more tissue, but did not necessarily store significant extra quantities of carbon. Instead, the tree’s capacity to absorb the gas depended on water and nutrient levels.
More travel companies offsetting carbon emissions
A growing number of tour operators are offering to offset carbon emissions on behalf of holidaymakers.
younger travellers are keener to book through a company that offers offsetting than older ones.
