  • A United Nations body has begun global talks to hammer out a consensus on reducing airline emissions in the face of lingering discord over climate change and the impact of war in Ukraine.

  • The U.N. says more than 130 countries have set or are considering a net-zero target by mid-century in support of the Paris Agreement.
