The IEEE Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee on climate change in February to coordinate its response to the global threat. that provides buildings with energy-efficiency solutions. Why should IEEE be involved in combating climate change? Why should members care about climate change?

“Electric cars will not save the climate. In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more. Behavioral change is hard How willing are people to break their car dependency and other energy-related behaviors to address climate change?

This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption. Coal-fired power generation fell by a record 18% year-on-year to its lowest level since 1975. An increase in natural gas generation offset some of the climate gains from this coal decline, but overall power sector emissions still decreased by almost 10%.

The large decline in emissions, achieved before the COVID-19 crisis, was mainly due to reduced coal use for power generation. The official data, submitted on behalf of the EU to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), show that EU Member States managed to reduce collectively their emissions by 3.8%

On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. It is true that, in much of the developing world, coal-fired capacity continues to grow. But in every corner of the globe, political and financial pressures are mounting to bury coal in the past.

This article shows that including offsets in climate change legislation would likely make an emissions program more cost-effective by: (a) providing an incentive for non-regulated sources to generate emission reductions; and (b) expanding emission compliance opportunities for regulated entities. Assuming the offset is legitimate—i.e.,
