The city of Hamburg lies on the banks of the River Elbe in Germany, its busy port one of Europe’s most important gateways to the North Sea and beyond. It is also home to the wave-shaped headquarters of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (Itlos), a little-known court that is responsible for interpreting and upholding the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos).

Rising emissions from farm equipment could ‘hinder’ China’s net-zero goals

The study, published in Nature Food, finds that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from agricultural machinery have increased approximately seven-fold in the country since 1985. Using government statistics on the quantity of farm equipment over time, researchers calculate the changes in CO2 emissions and other air pollutants between 1985 and 2020. They find that CO2 emissions from farm equipment have grown, on average, by nearly 6 per cent annually since 1985.
