Scientists call manmade chemicals like refrigerant gases a cause of climate change
A major cause of climate change is the harm that is done to the Earth by man-made chemicals. Whilst chemicals, such as those used to produce day by day items, operate equipment and generally make life easier, are necessary, they present a threat to the environment. Governments around the world have set new regulations to limit the use of substances that contribute to global warming and deplete ...

7 Ways to Attract and Use Climate Finance for Transport
It is not possible to effectively address climate change without substantive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions by the transport sector. But putting the pieces together – especially in developing countries – will require fine-tuning transportation climate finance readiness to match growing demand. First, a few reasons why transportation is so important to climate: ...
