The search for stability
Stabilising the climate
SPECIAL REPORTS - OCT 30TH 2021
There has never been a collective human endeavour more ambitious than stabilising the climate. In this special report our journalists assess what it will take to meet the historic goals agreed on in Paris six years ago
Stabilising the climate
The agenda for the COP 26 summit
There has never been a collective human endeavour more ambitious than stabilising the climate. In this special report our journalists assess what it will take to meet the historic goals agreed on in Paris six years ago

The state of play
What the Paris agreement of 2015 meant
Replacing fossil fuels is becoming easier. But temperatures are still likely to rise too far

The Asian century’s emissions
How Asia is crucial in the battle against climate change
Whether the climate can ever be stabilised depends largely on Asia

Economics and energy
The economics of the climate
Energy choices shape economies—and could reshape them

Negative emissions
Why the world needs negative emissions
If negative emissions are to play a role in policy much more needs to be done to make them practically achievable

Veils and ignorance
Governing the atmosphere
Technologies which might stabilise the climate could do the reverse to international relations
