14 Future Alternative Energy Sources

The way we generate energy is changing: In 2019, the UK celebrates a milestone of generating more energy from renewable energy than fossil fuels. Globally, the success of implementation is equally impressive, as renewable generation capacity reached 2,351 GW at the end of 2018.Alternative energy is on the rise, we need to do more to tackle climate change and shift away from fossil fuels for good. GreenMatch  presents an infographic with insights about the current scope of investments within the industry, facts, and a list of 14 alternative energy technologies

21 British Landmarks Threatened by Rising Sea Levels

GreenMatch  conducted a study revealing that 21 of Britain’s most cherished landmarks are at risk of being submerged. Landmarks across the UK, such as the London Eye and Hampton Court Palace, are affected.Rising Sea Levels Is Affecting the UK’s Landmarks About 90% of heat from human-emitted greenhouse emissions are already absorbed through the oceans, resulting in oceans warming up at a higher pace. These warmer temperatures are leading to rising sea levels. Governments need to act fast in order to slow down this process.  Overall global temperatures

Analysis: Six EU Countries Have Already Exceeded their 2020 GHG Emissions Limit, Eight More Are on the Verge

EU countries are split when it comes to controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and staying on track to meet the regulations set by the EU for 2020. While a majority of EU countries are doing well to limit their total GHG emissions, a lot of other EU countries are polluting excessively.Ever since the start of the century, the EU has set goals and targets for each of its 28 member states to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, so that the EU achieves its goal of having a 20% total reduction in GHG emissions for 2020. GreenMatch  has done research on the

The Rise of Sustainable Travelling: The Case Against Environmental Damage

Travelling pollutes; more than 895 tonnes of CO2 was released into the atmosphere in 2018 due to air travel alone. However, sustainable travelling is on the rise, according to research. More than 70% of travellers in various categories are interested in doing more sustainable action to prevent further pollution to the climate when travelling.Being sustainable is a popular trend amongst the younger generation.

Mapped: Impact of Climate Change on European Countries

The most recent data revealed that Lithuania is the European country most affected by climate change, while Iceland is the least affected.The 3 Most Affected Countries The European countries that have been most affected by climate change since 1960 are all located around the Baltic Sea: Lithuania, Finland, and Latvia. The three countries have seen significant increases in sea temperatures, with 0.730°C between 1960 and 2014. Each decade, surface temperatures increased by 0.325 °C in Lithuania and Latvia, and by 0.314°C in Finland. All three countries experienced an increase in

Households Leading the UK Towards Their Climate Goals

Recent data has helped Greenmatch paint a picture of the UK’s current position in their course to reduce greenhouse gases by 57% by 2030. Being the second largest energy consumer in the UK, homeowners can help slow down climate change and achieve the climate goals for 2030.Households Headed Towards the 2030 Climate Goals The Committee on Climate Change has set specific targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions in UK households by 2030. On a domestic level, the main target is set at reducing direct CO2 emissions from UK households through the insulation of homes, and the installation
