      Indonesia is showing the way on sustainable growth

      Shifting to low carbon industry is good for both the climate and the economy

      (FILES) This file photograph taken on September 8, 2013, shows an access road being constructed in a peatland forest being cleared for a palm oil plantation in Trumon subdistrict, Aceh province, on Indonesia's Sumatra island. - As Southeast Asia's largest economy grows rapidly, swathes of biodiverse forests across the archipelago of 17,000 islands have been cleared to make way for paper and palm oil plantations, as well as for mining and agriculture. The destruction has ravaged biodiversity, placing animals such as orangutans and Sumatran tigers in danger of extinction, while also leading to the release of vast amounts of climate change-causing carbon dioxide. Indonesia is the third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, after China and the US. Avoiding global climate chaos will require a major transformation of society and the world economy that is "unprecedented in scale," the UN said October 8, 2018, in a landmark report that warns time is running out to avert disaster.

      Fossil fuel groups warned not to ignore Paris accord

      Lord Stern points to disturbing gap between agreed steps and what businesses assume

      epa05073768 (FILE) A file photo dated 23 August 2014 showing a general view of the open lignite pit 'Jaenschwalde' in Griessen, Brandenburg state, Germany, of the Swedish power company Vattenfall. Demand for coal has stalled after more than a decade of consistent growth, the International Energy Agency said 18 December 2015, attributing much of the slowdown to declining demand in China. In its annual coal report, the Paris-based agency said it had cut its five-year forecast for demand growth by 500 million tonnes of coal equivalent, which represents energy generated by burning a metric tonne of coal. Economic restructuring in China, which represents half of the world's coal consumption, and a new climate agreement brokered in Paris are largely responsible for the decline, the agency said.

      COP21: Public-private collaboration key to climate targets

      Governments, local and national, must work with private sector, writes Nicholas Stern

      Residents cover their face from dust as they ride their bicycles along a street on a hazy day in Zhengzhou, Henan province December 10, 2013. Commentaries by two of China's most influential news outlets suggesting that an ongoing air pollution crisis was not without a silver lining drew a withering reaction on Tuesday from internet users and other media. The Global Times said smog could be useful in military situations, as it could hinder the use of guided missiles, while CCTV listed five "unforeseen rewards" for smog, including helping Chinese people's sense of humour.
