| Trade-related international freight produces close to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, but the Covid-19 pandemic has heavily impacted trade flows. | |
| With movement restrictions causing significant disruption, the international logistics systems that form the backbone of globalization have slowed, forcing companies to reconsider their strategies. | |
| On Sept. 16 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, join The Times and experts for the latest episode of Netting Zero, as we discuss the future of international air and shipping freight, and potential solutions for dramatically reducing the carbon footprint that results from moving goods. (R.S.V.P. above to join the conversation). | |
| It is difficult right now to imagine a world after the Covid-19 crisis. As social distancing is lifted and the economy resumes, we will still be forced to face the great existential challenge of our time: the climate emergency. How can we rebuild our economies and societies in a way that recognizes the urgency of climate action? How can we face the climate emergency head-on, seeking transformative solutions for the sectors and industries that drive the bulk of our carbon emissions? | It is difficult right now to imagine a world after the Covid-19 crisis.

| The Covid-19 pandemic has substantially shifted the ways in which we experience urban spaces. In an instant, high-density city centers have seen mass exodus to the suburbs as people have sought greener and larger spaces. | |
| In this episode, Mark Landler, the Times’s London bureau chief, and experts discussed how this shift could present new opportunities for sustainable buildings and urban spaces. | |
| Net zero is an ambitious target that cannot be achieved under our current economic model. To build a truly sustainable world, we need to fundamentally redesign the economy to replace our linear approach of “take, make, waste,” and create a circular economy promoting sustainability by design. | Net zero is an ambitious target that cannot be achieved under our current economic model.

| Oceans are a crucial part of the biosphere, soaking up carbon dioxide, absorbing more than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped on Earth from carbon emissions and producing half of global oxygen. But as we continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the strain is taking its toll. | Oceans are a crucial part of the biosphere, soaking up carbon dioxide, absorbing more than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped on Earth from carbon emissions and producing half of global oxygen.

| The Covid-19 crisis collapsed demand for energy, with oil prices falling to an astonishing -$37.63 per barrel in late April. But as the world looks toward recovery, can this shock be seized to break the global addiction to fossil fuels, or will the “new normal” end up looking much like the old one? | The Covid-19 crisis collapsed demand for energy, with oil prices falling to an astonishing -$37.63 per barrel in late April.

| Traditionally, investors have had one duty: to make the greatest possible return on capital for their shareholders. It’s a model that’s brought us to the brink of climate disaster, and we need a new way of understanding value and returns that looks beyond the short-term and drives resources toward scalable solutions. | Traditionally, investors have had one duty: to make the greatest possible return on capital for their shareholders.

| The food we cultivate and consume has a huge effect on climate change, with agricultural production contributing 20 percent to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. If we are to achieve the international goal of net zero emissions by 2050, we must implement radical but attainable solutions, fast. How can we significantly reduce emissions across key sectors within the food system while maintaining nutritional balance and food security? | The food we cultivate and consume has a huge effect on climate change, with agricultural production contributing 20 percent to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

| What are the winning innovations in building materials, energy and mobility that can be deployed to make cities more sustainable and accessible? Moderated by Brad Plumer, a climate reporter at The Times, this episode explored what mind-sets, models and approaches could take city “labs” beyond pilot programs to the next level of systemic change. | What are the winning innovations in building materials, energy and mobility that can be deployed to make cities more sustainable and accessible?
