REGION- Methane emissions are getting some<\/strong><strong> ink ahead of COP29 as emissions reach record levels despite offset pledges. <\/strong>The International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) flagged over 1.1k methane plumes since 2022, yet only a small fraction of these emissions have been successfully addressed. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas 80 times more powerful than CO2 in the shorter term, remains at near-record levels, with global concentrations rising faster than ever. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Industry action is limited: <\/strong>IMEO identifies methane leaks using satellite data to help nearly 160 nations fulfill a pledge to cut emissions by 30% by 2030. However, actions taken by companies and governments following IMEO alerts have been minimal, Manfredi Caltagirone, the head of the organization, said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There may be other culprits, and the worst of them could be a new feedback loop: <\/strong>One study \u2014 published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u2014 suggests that the main culprit for the greenhouse gas\u2019 dramatic growth in the atmosphere is microbes \u2013 which exist in cattle guts, wetlands, waste, and agricultural land.

Africa would also need major investment increases to close the estimated funding gaps of USD 131 bn and USD 22 bn for mitigation and adaptation, respectively. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The shocks to GDP would be significant under the current trajectory:<\/strong> Climate risks could cause the world to lose 14% of its GDP, impacting emerging and advanced economies alike, although Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia would be hit hardest with potential economic losses exceeding 30% of GDP by 2050 under current policies and planned clean energy investments. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Net-zero could soften the blows, but the full economic payoff may not be realized for a decade or more: <\/strong>Although climate-induced GDP losses are inevitable, a net-zero trajectory could help countries halve their losses. In this scenario, nations would still see GDP losses in the next decade, but the world would reach a breaking point by the mid-2030s, reversing losses into growth and saving 2% of annual GDP by 2050. This rebound would largely be due to reduced climate-related losses, such as extreme weather events and crop failures, and increased productivity. Still, the world\u2019s economy would shrink by 7.1%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The benefits of net-zero will not be evenly distributed: <\/strong>Asia's emerging markets, with their resource wealth and technological readiness, are poised to benefit from the transition, but high climate risk exposure could still lead to significant economic losses. Africa, on the other hand, could benefit from investments in clean technologies. However, factors like commodity price volatility, limited trade integration, and financing challenges could offset these gains, and the distribution of these impacts may vary across countries and sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our region\u2019s GDP, however, would be hit hardest in the net-zero scenario. <\/strong>The Middle East would be the only region in which GDP losses from net-zero outweigh losses under current climate projections, the report says. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The data is clear, but emerging countries face difficult choices: <\/strong>Emerging countries \u2014 where climate investment gaps are usually the highest \u2014 are already burdened with high levels of debt and face competing spending priorities on essential sectors and services, such as health, education, and infrastructure. While a swift transition to a net zero can significantly mitigate future losses, climate mitigation spending would further strain the budgets of emerging markets if governments bear the total cost of the policies. Countries like South Africa, India, and Brazil would be hardly hit with elevated public debt levels. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The private sector\u2019s role will be key in net zero: <\/strong>Public debt by 2050 will be higher regardless of who funds the transition. However, even a modest increase in private-sector financing can significantly reduce the fiscal impact on governments. For instance, in South Africa, increased private sector participation could reduce the government's debt burden by over 20 percentage points of GDP. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/green-finance\/\">green finance<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/macro-picture\/\">MACRO PICTURE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/mitigation\/\">mitigation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"87775\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"87775\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">MINING<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2024\/11\/05\/wmz-contracts-sinosteel-for-algerian-zinc-project\/\">\r\n                            WMZ contracts Sinosteel for Algerian zinc project                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2024\/11\/05\/wmz-contracts-sinosteel-for-algerian-zinc-project\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Zinc is also less expensive, more abundant, and has a larger temperature threshold making its batteries easier to maintain while causing less environmental damage.

Being the world\u2019s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, a US exit from the Paris Agreement could significantly impact global climate negotiations, potentially stalling new climate actions and altering the dynamics of the United Nations climate talks. The US departure might also provide political cover for other countries to delay their commitments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trump has a track record:<\/strong> The former president had blocked a forum for major economies' leaders to discuss energy and climate in 2017. \u201cOther countries that are working hard on climate will not be burned again by an administration acting on behalf of fossil fuels interests,\u201d NRDC Action Fund senior adviser Jake Schmidt said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Concerns are running high:<\/strong> UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres issued a stark warning about the potential consequences of a second US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement at the COP16 biodiversity summit in Colombia, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/nov\/01\/a-trump-presidency-could-cripple-the-paris-climate-agreement-warns-un-chief-antonio-guterres\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> wrote. Guterres emphasized the importance of the US remaining in the international climate process to prevent crippling the agreement. \u201cA second Trump presidency is game over for meaningful climate action this decade, and stabilizing warming below 1.5C probably becomes impossible,\u201d warned the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s climate scientist Michael Mann.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Even if Trump doesn\u2019t move on the Paris Accords, US climate policy could be severely crippled: <\/strong>Trump also announced his intention to \u201cterminate\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/3907e1bd-299f-46ad-8f42-7d0fead9dcc7\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)<\/a>, which he referred to as the \u201cGreen New Scam,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/10\/28\/trump-climate-law-ira-pullback\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a> reported.

Some other major oil players are also among the big beneficiaries of Biden\u2019s IRA\u2019s tax credits and funds. For example, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Occidental Petroleum are big fans of the IRA, having received support for decarbonization from the USD 370 bn in green tax breaks and subsidies. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Meanwhile, climate skeptics are waiting to seize the day:<\/strong> Climate skeptics are laying the groundwork to revive coal-fired power plants, undermine the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and challenge the scientific models used in federal climate assessments, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-11-02\/climate-skeptics-are-hatching-big-plans-for-a-second-trump-term?srnd=phx-green\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported.
