AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoClimate Warning: The UN’s 2026 Emissions Gap Report says current policies put the world on track for 2.8°C of warming this century, with the 1.5°C limit now likely out of reach. Global emissions held near record levels, while U.S. pollution rose sharply. North Sea Drilling: The UK approved the Jackdaw gas field despite climate objections, citing energy security and jobs. The project could lift domestic gas production by about 6% at its peak, but officials acknowledge it is unlikely to lower household bills significantly. Spill Response: A barge carrying about 8,000 barrels of waste oil at a Guyana wharf has been stabilised, with its cargo intact. Authorities deployed containment booms and continue monitoring for environmental impacts. Climate Preparedness: Researchers are urging faster, more coordinated climate assessments to help communities plan for cascading risks, from extreme heat and drought to floods and infrastructure disruption. Carbon Markets: China says trading in its national emissions market has topped one billion tonnes, as it promotes the system as a model for global climate action.
