No new oil and gas to meet 1.5°C
Report from IISD says new hydrocarbon investments are not compatible with 1.5°C carbon budgets
The world cannot develop any new oil and gas fields if it is to remain on a pathway to keeping global warming to 1.5°C this century, according to a new report from thinktank the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
