Five years after the signing of the Paris climate agreement, extreme weather events, droughts, megastorms and heatwaves are on the rise. Signatories to the 2015 accord will meet at a virtual summit on Saturday, organised by the UN, France and the United Kingdom, hoping to breathe new life into the climate battle. Activists want world leaders to show ambition. If the Paris accord made it possible to "limit the damage", much more still needs to be done to leave Earth a liveable planet for future generations. Will post-pandemic recovery plans propel these ambitions? What future energies can world leaders rely on? How are renewables faring against fossil fuels? AFP takes stock throughout the week. The package is accompanied by a series of striking videos, photographs and infographics focusing in particular on greenhouse gas emissions, melting ice, rising temperatures and state commitments to climate change. Today we are offering the following: + UN reports on emissions progress after pandemic drop + 'Net Zero' climate targets? Read the fine print + Green hydrogen: A fuel bursting with climate-saving potential + Carbon capture faces hurdles to go large-scale + Fossil fuels still reign, but renewables make inroads Climate-UN-summit-emissions,WRAP PARIS The UN reports on where Earth's warming is heading after a dip in greenhouse gas emissions due to the pandemic and world pledges to curb pollution. 550 words 1000 GMT by Patrick Galey Climate-UN-summit-netzero,FOCUS PARIS The worldwide effort to prevent Earth from becoming an unlivable hothouse is in the grips of "net zero" fever.
