For the second year in a row, the United Nations climate conference ended without a consensus declaration that tackling global warming requires transitioning away from fossil fuels.
Africa’s forests and woody savannas have shifted from acting as a net carbon sink to becoming a source of emissions over the past decade, according to high-resolution satellite data.

“This case is part of a broader global pattern, particularly in areas where the rapid deployment of digital infrastructure is outpacing the energy grid’s capacity,” Marina Otero Verzier, a visiting professor at Columbia University who researches data centers, told *Rest of World*. Microsoft set up its data center last year in Colón, an industrial hub with a population of over 67,000 people, but was unable to plug into the country’s energy grid, which is itself largely powered by fossil fuels. Mexico generates plenty of energy and could generate more, “but the transmission and distribution element worries us because it’s deficient,” Adriana Rivera Cerecedo, executive director of the Mexican Association of Data Centers, told *Rest of World*.
Generation's 2025 Sustainability Trends Report highlights a world where the rapid scaling of climate tech often appears at odds with political headwinds A new report from sustainable investment management firm Generation unpacks a muddled picture for sustainability. The 2025 Sustainability Trends Report highlights a world where the rapid scaling of climate technology often appears at odds with the political headwinds emerging from major world powers. The report argues that China is quickly assuming the mantle as the world’s leading force in sustainability, fuelled by its aggressive industrial policy and growing exports of renewable energy technology and electric vehicles (EVs). The report cites International Energy Agency data suggesting electric cars are expected to account for 25% of global auto sales this year.
A recent study highlights the significant role of Afro-descendant communities in reducing deforestation and enhancing carbon sequestration in tropical regions.
Energy expert Aidan Morrison has called out Matt Kean’s “final fig leaf” after the Climate Change Authority chair attempted to use a new report to claim renewables would help bring down soaring energy costs. Centre for Independent Studies director of energy research Aidan Morrison has labelled a new report Matt Kean’s “final fig leaf” after the Climate Change Authority chair attempted to use it to bolster claims renewables would bring down soaring power prices. In response, Mr Kean repeatedly referred to recent Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) findings and claimed prices would stop rising once Labor’s renewable energy plan was fully rolled out. Mr Morrison labelled a new report Matt Kean’s “final fig leaf” after the Climate Change Authority chair attempted to use it to bolster claims renewables would bring down soaring power prices.
“I wouldn’t necessarily use the term climate,” NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens told Scott, when he asked if the satellites had been launched to study a warming world. The launches are notable for an administration that has cut 4,000 people at NASA, proposed slashing the agency’s science budget in half and, according to news reports, pondered a plan to discontinue a pair of climate satellites already in orbit. Nikki Reisch, director of the climate and energy program at the Center for International Environmental Law, said Greenpeace’s case stands out in “both the aggressiveness and persistence of the company and the magnitude of the damages claimed.”
