How Southeast Asia Is Faring in the EV Race
As people become more aware of climate issues, countries are starting to look towards EVs as a way to decarbonise. This has resulted in many governments pushing for measures to electrify road transport. Investors are also increasingly turning to the EV ecosystem as an attractive, long-term investment.
Technology and Climate Change: Taking a Look At the Policy Gap
The world is rapidly developing technology to slow climate change. However, global policy to support this shift is slow, leaving local governments responsible. This has led to vast policy differences across regions, making it challenging for the world to meet the required decarbonisation goals.
The Cost of Sustainability for Asia is Lower than the Benefits
As one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, Asia has virtually nothing to lose from the looming energy transition. While investments are needed, the cost of sustainability is negligible compared to what the continent stands to gain.
Steel Producers Are Slow To Reduce Emissions
Steel plays an integral role in our modern world, yet it is also known for its high rate of emissions. One way to curtail these emissions is by implementing electric arc furnaces in production. While some countries have adopted this technology, others continue to develop facilities reliant on heavy-emitting technologies. Experts believe the steel industry is falling behind and may hinder the world from reaching net-zero by 2050.
How to Reduce the Music Industry’s Climate Impact
