Summary
Artificial lighting is a key biodiversity threat and produces 1900 million tonnes of CO2 emissions globally, more than three times that produced by aviation. The need to meet climate change targets has led to a global increase in energy efficient light sources such as high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
