In order to mitigate the global impacts of climate change, we need to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions, or even better – stop emitting completely. Many countries have recognized the need to switch from fossil fuels to renewable or green energy in order to do this.
Whilst most of us are in homes that are powered from a mixture of sources from coal to wind, is it feasible that one day everything will be solely from renewable energy sources?
We asked 22 experts in renewable energy, engineering, and energy systems Is having 100 percent renewable energy for a country feasible? . 15 answered likely, here is what we found out.
Laurence Delina Authors Two New Papers on Southeast Asia Climate Policy
Laurence Delina, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently authored two new papers on climate change and sustainable development policy in Southeast Asia.
In the first paper, published in the journal
Climatic Change, he explores the potential for future geoengineering research in Southeast Asia. Recounting the discussions among a group of social scientists, climate modelers, and environmental policy experts at a workshop in Indonesia, Delina makes the case for more engagement in geoengineering debates in the Global South, especially in climate-vulnerable regions like Southeast Asia.
