Frequent-flying “‘super emitters” who represent just 1% of the world’s population caused half of aviation’s carbon emissions in 2018, according to a study.

1% of people cause half of global aviation emissions – study

Airlines produced a billion tonnes of CO2 and benefited from a $100bn (£75bn) subsidy by not paying for the climate damage they caused, the researchers estimated. The analysis draws together data to give the clearest global picture of the impact of frequent fliers. Only 11% of the world’s population took a flight in 2018 and 4% flew abroad. US air passengers have by far the biggest carbon footprint among rich countries. Its aviation emissions are bigger than the next 10 countries combined, including the UK, Japan, Germany and Australia, the study reports. Private jet bookings soar as wealthy flee second England lockdown.

Private jet bookings soar as wealthy flee second England lockdown

Air Partner, one of the biggest aircraft charter firms, said there had been a “sharp rise” in private jet bookings “out of the country before Thursday”, as people look to avoid the lockdown and instead spend the time overseas. The company, which supplies planes to Premier League footballers, celebrities, the royal family and six out of the eight governments in the G8, said it had been overwhelmed with enquiries from wealthy people seeking to escape the UK for second homes overseas. “Many of these flight enquiries are for individuals wishing to go to their second homes in Europe, with the Canary Islands, which are still warm at this time of year, being the most sought-after destination,” the company said in a statement. Air Partner said that to depart before lockdown for five people from Biggin Hill airport to Tenerife would cost around £24,000 one-way.

Corona-Pandemie stellt bisherige Stadtplanung in Frage

Um den Flächenfraß zu stoppen und wegen der schlimmen Wohnungsnot sind die Städte in den vergangenen Jahren zum Teil hemmungslos nachverdichtet worden. Das wird bei Infektionskrankheiten zum Problem. Die Stadt könnte nach Corona völlig anders aussehen. Das Credo der Stadtplaner lautete bisher: Nachverdichtung, fast um jeden Preis. The rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world.

The rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic

Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay. While countries are at different points in their COVID-19 infection rates, worldwide there are currently more than 1.2 billion children in 186 countries affected by school closures due to the pandemic. In Denmark, children up to the age of 11 are returning to nurseries and schools after initially closing on 12 March, but in South Korea students are responding to roll calls from their teachers online. Covid-19 coronavirus led to more Black deaths because of housing discrimination.

Covid-19 coronavirus led to more Black deaths because of housing discrimination

The Los Angeles County health department reported this week that Black residents were dying at twice the rate its white residents were. The same is true of Black Alabamans. In Florida, Black people account for a higher share of Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths than their share of the population. Seite 2 - Desinfektionsmittel: Das Engelsgesicht der harten Chemie.

3D printers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic

Choksi, a librarian specializing in research and educational technology, had received an urgent email the night before from Pierre Elias, a cardiology fellow at NYP-Columbia University Medical Center. Elias desperately needed to produce more protective gear for hospital workers treating COVID-19 patients. He hoped Choksi, the administrator for Columbia University’s 3D printing lab, might be able to help.

Greening the transport sector in the post COVID-19 recovery could create up to 15 ‎million jobs worldwide

The recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be a return to business as usual. It must be an opportunity to push the advancement of the sustainable development agenda. A structural transformation of the transport sector will be needed if environmentally sustainable, green economies are to become a reality. Eight Emerging Lessons: From Coronavirus to Climate Action.

It is clear that the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic cannot simply be a return to business as usual. With the mobility that societies take for granted severely limited in many countries due to emergency measures, one area that calls for a critical re-assessment is how we can shift to more sustainable and efficient mobility.

From tackling deadly air pollution to lowering carbon emissions and reducing congestion, the benefits of cutting down car use have made it a priority in many cities’ efforts to date.

The fossil fuel industry has faced serious headwinds for several years, but the rise of renewables combined with the fall in consumption as a consequence of the global Covid-19 pandemic is pushing it over the edge and into “terminal decline”. Although global coal consumption continues to grow slowly, its use has peaked in developed regions.

According to the 2020 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, U.S. coal consumption fell by more than 40% in the past decade, while in the EU it has seen a nearly 27% drop. The primary culprits behind coal’s decline are competition from cheap natural gas brought on by the shale gas boom in the U.S., as well as a surge of renewable capacity aided by legislation aimed at curbing carbon dioxide emissions. Victims of Their Own Success But the natural gas and subsequent oil boom were victims of their own success. The fossil fuel industry has faced an oversupply problem, as well as a public relations problem. Post-pandemic ‘green shift’ in transport could create up to 15 million jobs. The study argues that recovery from the crisis cannot mean a return to “business as usual” for a sector that accounts for more than 60 million jobs globally.

Instead, it provides an opportunity to advance the collective effort to achieve sustainable development for all people and the planet, by 2030 through the SDGs. “Pursuing the goal of an environmentally sustainable and inclusive society requires a structural transformation of the economy, including both changes in the products and services on offer and production processes”, said Catherine Saget, Team Leader at the International Labour Organization (ILO), which co-authored the report.

Yuval Noah Harari on COVID-19: ′The biggest danger is not the virus itself′ DW: Professor Harari, we're in the midst of a global pandemic. What concerns you most about how the world is changing? Yuval Noah Harari: I think the biggest danger is not the virus itself.

Humanity has all the scientific knowledge and technological tools to overcome the virus. The really big problem is our own inner demons, our own hatred, greed and ignorance. I'm afraid that people are reacting to this crisis not with global solidarity, but with hatred, blaming other countries, blaming ethnic and religious minorities. But I hope that we will be able to develop our compassion, and not our hatred, to react with global solidarity, which will develop our generosity to help people in need.
