Environmental NGO WRAP is using COP29 to highlight the need for countries to include food loss and waste in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). A new report shows that, of the 195 countries attending COP29, only 12 have committed to reducing food waste and just 17 to tackling food loss. In total, 24 countries (12%) commit to reducing food loss and/or waste while 88% attending the global climate conference have made no commitments to address either so far in their NDCs.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
