article Packaging Sustainability Efforts Falling Short of Climate Goals, Industry Leaders Warn
February 19th, 2026 • Corporate commitments to sustainable packaging are not delivering emissions reductions at the pace required to meet climate targets, industry experts said at a recent packaging conference. Speakers highlighted structural barriers, including limited recycling infrastructure, rising material demand, and inconsistent policy frameworks. Companies are now under pressure to move beyond incremental changes and adopt systemic solutions aligned with net zero strategies.
article ECB Fines Crédit Agricole for Failing to Address Climate-Related Risk Controls
February 19th, 2026 • The European Central Bank has imposed a financial penalty on Crédit Agricole for failing to adequately comply with supervisory requirements on climate-related and environmental risks. The move underscores intensifying regulatory scrutiny of how major banks manage and disclose exposure to climate transition and physical risks.
article Underground Hydrogen Production Gains Attention as Low Carbon Alternative
February 19th, 2026 • A new approach to clean hydrogen production aims to generate the fuel directly underground, potentially reducing surface infrastructure, emissions, and costs. Researchers and energy companies are exploring geological hydrogen production as a complement to green and blue hydrogen strategies in their efforts to achieve net zero.
article Study Identifies the Most Effective Climate Policies for Cutting Global Emissions
February 18th, 2026 • A large-scale international study has identified which climate policies have delivered the most significant emissions reductions across major economies. The findings show that well-designed carbon pricing, combined with sector-specific regulations and investment incentives, consistently achieves measurable results.
article Circular Economy Gains Ground in the Built Environment as Construction Sector Targets Net-Zero
February 18th, 2026 • The construction sector is under growing pressure to cut emissions, reduce waste and improve resource efficiency. A shift toward circular economy principles in the built environment is emerging as a key strategy to lower embodied carbon, extend material lifecycles and support net zero targets across global property markets.
article Carbon Pricing Could Shift Diets and Cut Food Emissions, New Report Finds
February 18th, 2026 • A new report explores how carbon pricing in the food sector could influence consumer behaviour and reduce agricultural emissions. The findings suggest that carefully designed carbon taxes or pricing mechanisms may shift purchasing patterns toward lower-emission foods, while raising important equity and policy considerations.
article Skyscraper Upcycling Gains Momentum as Cities Target Embodied Carbon Cuts
February 17th, 2026 • Developers and city authorities are increasingly retrofitting and repurposing aging skyscrapers instead of demolishing them, citing major carbon savings and economic advantages. As operational emissions fall through cleaner energy grids, embodied carbon in construction is becoming a central focus of net-zero strategies worldwide.
