为什么一些国家的目标是“净负”排放?
净零排放意味着一个国家消除的二氧化碳与其排放的一样多,而净负排放意味着消除的二氧化碳多于排放的二氧化碳。苏里南和不丹等森林资源丰富的小国已经实现净负排放,而德国刚刚宣布他们的目标是实现净负排放。历史排放量较高的发达国家被视为有道义责任尽快实现净负排放,为发展中国家创造增长空间。

As some countries aim for net-negative emissions, it raises concerns about how fair it is for developing nations and what it means for global climate goals.
Carbon Brief reports on the findings of new research into the impact of climate change on agricultural drought in the Horn of Africa.
In this Q&A, Carbon Brief examines all of the proposals that make up the European Commission's Green Deal Industrial Plan.
Carbon Brief explains the key points behind the UK Climate Resilience Programme, a government-backed initiative to understand the risks of climate change.
If we are to halt climate change by reducing global emissions, we need to stop burning fossil fuels and switch to renewables. So how much progress has been made?
Overlapping causes are driving climate change and biodiversity loss. But with careful planning, mitigation techniques like rewilding can tackle the twin crises.
Climate change is driving new encounters between species, raising the risk of more diseases like COVID-19, says a new study. Here's what needs to happen.
Greenland's ice sheet is set to lose more ice this century than in any other over the past 12,000 years, according to a new study published in Nature.

This year, the Arctic sea ice has reached its second lowest 'summer minimum' on record, according to data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
A new study in New Zealand has shown for the first time that human-caused climate change made extreme glacial ice loss more likely.
Siberia’s prolonged heat from January to June this year would have been “almost impossible” without human-caused climate change.
