As the latest global climate change summit approaches, China is facing a huge challenge in keeping its pledges to cut carbon emissions, while sustaining its extraordinary rate of economic development.
The country is undergoing a construction boom as it builds modern homes and infrastructure for its vast population. It means China is the world’s leading producer of steel, one of the most polluting industries.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Robin Brant, in the steelproducing city of Wuzhou in southern China.

Why Food Is Getting More Expensive In The U.S.
The pandemic sent food prices skyrocketing amid a slew of supply chain disruptions, but food costs have been steadily rising over the past five years. The rise in prices can have serious consequences for the most vulnerable Americans. According to the USDA, 13.8 million Americans qualified as food insecure in 2020. Watch the video to find out how much food prices have risen, what’s driving the increase and how businesses and policymakers can fix it.
The Biden administration said Wednesday it plans to take “bold action” to enforce antitrust laws aimed at meatpacking companies it says are causing beef, pork, and poultry prices to rise at the grocery store.
Even though beef prices have been rising, farmers and ranchers have been making less money, the White House said.
Climate change, labor issues, transportation concerns and other supply chain disruptions have been contributing to the rising costs over the past several years. The pandemic disruptions then sped up the rate of growth in prices.
These price increases have significant consequences for the most vulnerable Americans. The United States Department of Agriculture reported Wednesday that 13.8 million households were considered food insecure in 2020.
The Biden administration last month increased assistance for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. Previously known as Food Stamps, the benefits were increased by more than 25%.
“It’s a combination of all these factors,” SuperMarketGuru.com editor Phil Lempert said. “It’s very difficult to say what did the pandemic do? What does climate change do? What is transportation do? So we’ve got to lump it all together. And we’ve got to solve them all together.”

Why Food Is Getting More Expensive In The U.S.
Why Tracking Carbon Emissions Is Suddenly A Billion Dollar Opportunity
As extreme weather events roiled communities around the world this summer, businesses and governments are feeling more pressure than ever to respond to climate change.
Tracking emissions has historically been difficult, because the methods for tracking a company’s carbon footprint are all over the place. In the U.S., corporate sustainability reporting remains unstandardized and largely voluntary. But the landscape looks better in Europe, as a recently adopted proposal is set to expand the number of companies that must produce sustainability reports. That measure will also require more detailed and standardized disclosures and impose mandatory audits.
That’s where companies like Plan A and Planetly come in. These Berlinbased startups make software that helps companies monitor, report and reduce their carbon emissions, and the market for their services is booming. Meanwhile, apps like Klima, which help individuals offset their own personal emissions, are also growing rapidly.

Which countries are historically responsible for climate change?
Analysis: Which countries are historically responsible for climate change?
https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysiswhichcountriesarehistoricallyresponsibleforclimatechange
Animation shows, by ranked nation, cumulative CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, land use and forestry, 18502021 (million tonnes). Bottom right, remaining carbon budget to limit global warming at 1.5C (5050 chance). Analysis by Simon Evans. Animation by Tom Prater for Carbon Brief.
Historical responsibility for climate change is at the heart of debates over climate justice.
History matters because the cumulative amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted since the start of the industrial revolution is closely tied to the 1.2C of warming that has already occurred.
In total, humans have pumped around 2,500bn tonnes of CO2 (GtCO2) into the atmosphere since 1850, leaving less than 500GtCO2 of remaining carbon budget to stay below 1.5C of warming.
This means that, by the end of 2021, the world will collectively have burned through 86% of the carbon budget for a 5050 probability of staying below 1.5C, or 89% of the budget for a twothirds likelihood.
The analysis includes CO2 emissions from land use and forestry, in addition to those from fossil fuels. In first place on the rankings, the US has released more than 509GtCO2 since 1850 and is responsible for the largest share of historical emissions, Carbon Brief analysis shows, with some 20% of the global total.
China is a relatively distant second, with 11%, followed by Russia (7%), Brazil (5%) and Indonesia (4%). The latter pair are among the top 10 largest historical emitters, due to CO2 from their land.
Meanwhile, large postcolonial European nations, such as Germany and the UK, account for 4% and 3% of the global total, respectively, not including overseas emissions under colonial rule.

Norway and CO2 emissions | DW Documentary
Oil nation Norway plans to help fight climate change by capturing and storing Europe’s carbon emissions. The ‘Northern Lights’ project will store captured CO2 emissions in the North Sea. But this procedure is not without risks.
The world is facing a climate catastrophe, and despite rapid growth in renewable energy production, some industries continue to emit vast amounts of CO2 during production processes. Two of these industries are cement and steel, both crucial for the economy. A solution is needed, and Norway believes part of the answer for Europe is carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The country has called its CCS project ‘Northern Lights.’ The plan is to capture CO2 emitted from industrial sites, liquefy it, and then transport the liquefied gas via pipelines to be stored in the North Sea, approximately 3000 meters below sea level.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that the only way to limit the global rise in temperature to a maximum of two degrees is to capture and store many billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases. But in Germany people have protested against the use of carbon capture and storage.
The technology has been fraught with problems in the past. And there are other, more natural alternatives. One option could be to restore moorlands and bogs. When wet, these store carbon that has been sucked from the air by plants. But many bogs have been drained for farming, and as drained moorlands dry, CO2 is produced, meaning they have become a source of pollution rather than carbon storage. Reversing this and returning them to their carbon storing potential could be relatively inexpensive, as well as being a more natural way of reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
This documentary weighs up the pros and cons of CCS and investigates why the restoration of moorlands has hardly progressed in years.
