Global carbon pricing versus emissions trading systems: a head-to-head comparison
Carbon pricing mechanisms, including global carbon pricing (GCP) and emissions trading systems (ETS), are essential tools for incentivizing emissions reductions and combating climate change. Both approaches aim to internalize the social costs of carbon emissions and drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. However, they differ in their design, implementation, and potential impacts.

Is financially backed regulation the key to responding to the climate crisis?
The intersection of a global climate emergency and the entrenched economy and technology of the aviation sector presents a significant carbon management challenge. As the opportunity to limit global warming narrows, the efficacy of state-led regulation to drive rapid, systemic decarbonisation requires scrutiny and consideration.

Carbon capture and storage: essential technologies for a cleaner tomorrow
At the conference of Britain’s governing Labour Party in Liverpool last week, two protesters squeezed in a white elephant costume with “carbon capture and storage” written on it. Last month, Nature published a paper suggesting underground carbon dioxide storage capacity is much less than previously thought. These two happenings link a continuing hostility from environmentalists towards one of our key climate technologies.

Tariffs and the Erosion of Trust
It often begins with bold declarations - “We must protect our industries,” they say. “Our workers deserve better.”
The public nods along. Tariffs, once again, are wielded as a political tool, dressed in the noble language of national interest and economic revival.

Emerging green steel markets surrounding the EU emissions trading system and carbon border adjustment mechanism
The global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, no low-emission primary steel production technology has yet been commercially feasible or deployed.

Over-reliance on land for carbon dioxide removal in net-zero climate pledges
Achieving net-zero climate targets requires some level of carbon dioxide removal. Current assessments focus on tonnes of CO2 removed, without specifying what form these removals will take. Here, we show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 (0.9–1.1) billion ha of land for removals.
