The Seaham project builds on successful mine water heating schemes already operating in Gateshead and Wales, demonstrating how former mining regions can lead the transition to clean energy

Fiji is pushing for a Pacific-wide transition to 100 per cent renewable energy, with cleaner transport and stronger regional cooperation needed to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. Minister for Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport Ro Filipe Tuisawau said the transition must address transport emissions, energy security and the environmental risks associated with renewable energy waste. Speaking at the Pre-COP31 ministerial dialogue on a 100 per cent renewable energy future for the Blue Pacific at Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort and Spa in Wailoaloa, Nadi, on Thursday, Ro Filipe said climate action must deliver practical benefits for Pacific communities. “Keeping 1.5 degrees within reach is not an abstract negotiating objective; it concerns the security of our communities, economies and future generations. Adaptation and resilience remain priorities,” he said. He said land transport accounted for about 60 per cent of Fiji’s energy sector emissions and consumed around 60 per cent of imported petroleum. Without stronger intervention, emissions were projected to rise from about 870,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018 to more than 1.6 million tonnes by 2050. He said Fiji was strengthening coordination across transport, energy, infrastructure, finance and urban development through its electric mobility programme, while...

New research by Greenpeace Canada lays out a web of pro-oil and gas groups working together to influence public opinion on climate change

Clean energy does not simply “add to” global energy use; it displaces fossil sources that would otherwise get built.

Enfield Mayor Mondale Robinson announced the group's launch in September, saying that small towns, often overlooked, will have more power if they work...
