Pledges made so far under the 2015 Paris accord would deliver less than a 1% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030—a fraction of the 45% cut needed to avert catastrophic climate change, according to a UN report.

The UN says the 2020 Climate Action Summit delivered a surge in progress toward climate goals.

Oilfield services provider Halliburton said that it would set greenhouse-gas emission reduction targets in line with what the latest climate science outlines is necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Accord.

The oilfield service company said it expects to set emissions-reduction targets by next year to meet the goals of the Paris Accord.

After a 3-year delay, the US has become the first nation in the world to formally withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

Tough talk about World Bank financing for oil and gas is a sign of the growing pressure to squeeze investing in fossil fuels as a way to slash carbon emissions.

There is a lot of talk these days about transitions. There are technology transitions going on. There are demographic and cultural transitions in the workforce and in society at large. But the one I want to focus on in this column is the so-called “energy transition.”

The Report “Transition Faster Together: Renewable Solutions, Strategies, and Policies for a Clean Energy Future” outlines focus areas to stimulate the generation of renewable energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

If we must reduce emissions to make our industry “greener,” what are some of the options that we can apply?
