GREEN DEFERRED: The World Steel Association has warned that about half of the world's planned green-steel projects have been delayed, while governments have committed just $20-billion of the $1.5-trillion needed to decarbonise the sector. It added that the current global project pipeline is set to deliver only about 70-million metric tons of green steel yearly by the end of the decade, a fraction of the roughly two-billion tons of total steel production forecast for the same date.

The hydration breaks during this year’s FIFA World Cup have proved controversial among players, coaches and fans. Likewise, a move by a group of scientists to discount both the ‘worst case’ and ‘best case’ climate scenarios has also proved controversial. It is positive that mitigation efforts have made the worst-case of a 3.5°C to 5.5°C rise in global temperatures by 2100 implausible. Removing the best case, however, means it is now harder to keep global warming below 2°C, let alone meet the 1.5°C Paris goal.
