The rising losses stem from China’s vulnerability to climate change, with higher temperatures magnifying the intensity of storms and rainfall saturating cities on its long coast
While countries have traditionally discussed global climate efforts separately from biodiversity, leaders are increasingly looking at ways of addressing goals for both simultaneously
A jump in global adoption of solar power and electric vehicles — led by China — will bring about peak emissions this year, a new study said, but doubts on limiting global warming remain
BP’s lobbying for climate subsidies, despite a business outlook that will boost emissions, spurs increasing criticism of 'planet-saving technologies' due to link with fossil fuel industry
The biggest chunk of the losses will likely be borne by workers in carbon-intensive sectors, which employ almost 32 million people across the world
OpenAI's proposed data centres would need power equal to the output of about five nuclear reactors – at least 100 times the requirements of a standard large data centre
The world is on track to add record amounts of solar energy capacity this year — a scenario that would be great for renewable goals, but will also pose some challenges
Negotiators say top oil-selling countries were likely to use a logjam on climate finance discussions to 'block any meaningful progress on fossil fuel mitigation'
Since last year, multiple reports have raised concerns about the authenticity and integrity of oil firms' emissions reduction projects in China — which in one case was actually chicken farm, according to a whistleblower
Asian economies are particularly vulnerable to torrential rains and storms, which can make up for 80% of the extreme weather events in the region
That was nearly as much as the climate change-related losses China suffered in the first six months of the year combined
From 2026 onwards, China will set its focus on controlling emission intensity across provinces and industries
