Day 3 at World Future Energy Summit and an exciting one for the #SMEs who get to take to the stage at the Innovation Zone in Hall 2. We will be looking at gender gap finance, collaborations between corporates & SMEs, biodiversity, and an important SME Survey, showing the challenges and solutions need for the #netzero journey. These conversations are relevant and crucial, as the pressing reality of climate change must inform and guide our path forward. If we, as a country, aim to achieve net-zero by 2050, we must collaborate and work hand in hand with. government, SMEs, and corporates alike—and provide SMEs with the necessary support to thrive with this ecosystem. We are supported here today by many fabulous people: Nadia Boumeziout Aoife O'Loughlin Kyle Weber Tanzeed Alam Jane C.

More regulatory tailwinds for Green PRAXIS can only serve to accelerate the mission we're on. Yesterday, the UE enacted another piece of legislation that will help strike a better balance between economic activity and the preservation of nature.

A short and valuable document on the differences between being net zero and Paris aligned, and a strong reminder to not confuse the different terms (among other things) with easy to grasp graphics inside. This reinforces the idea that tracking carbon budgets, reassessing carbon trajectories by sector/activity is certainly the type of new points of focus for CFOs and finance/budget teams.

A very clear working paper on countries’ approaches to enhance access to capital at low cost and mitigate investor risk perceptions in clean energy investments. According to the authors, achieving the Paris Agreement goals will necessitate investments in higher-risk projects in emerging clean energy technologies in developing nations.

Insight 4 out of 7: The European carbon market: 2024 status overview 🇪🇺 Since the start of this year, I have been talking to more than 300 sustainability managers, consultants and software providers on the state of the carbon accounting market. From these conversations, I've digested 7 insights. Insight #4: We distinguish 3 type of companies based on their carbon accounting needs: 👉 Large cap: large enough to report in detail, large enough to do it in-house 👉 Mid cap: large enough to report in detail, too small to do it in-house 👉 Small cap: often too small to report in detail Find the full report via the link in comments and feel free start the conversation or get in touch with me.

🌍 Impact of the U.S. Elections on Climate 🌍 The re-election of Donald Trump, announced today, has raised many questions for me about the future of global climate policies. As someone in the energy sector who values environmental responsibility, it was essential for me to consider the potential repercussions of this political shift. The United States, the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter (11% of global emissions), demonstrated a contrasting approach under the previous Republican administration, notably by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. This agreement, signed by the U.S., aimed for significant emissions reductions by 2030 – a goal now at risk following this re-election. In my recent daily research, I came across an article mentioning TotalEnergies and their latest TotalEnergies Energy Outlook report. Notably, their Trends scenario, which follows current trajectories and policies, foresees a temperature rise of +2.6 to +2.7°C by 2100, far above the recommended +1.5°C limit. With abundant fossil fuels in the U.S. and growing political support for their use, there’s a concern that the global energy transition may slow considerably. More than ever, it's essential to monitor international developments to gauge potential paths towards a low-carbon future. Climate action has never been more urgent. #Climate #Energy #EnergyTransition #GreenInnovation #USElections #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/eyQc4mHm https://lnkd.in/eXjvnCRM

📣I am pleased to share the fourth chapter of my report: ‘Financing the Transitions the World Needs: Towards a New Paradigm for Carbon Markets’. Here it is… Chapter Four: Integrating Natural Climate Solutions Today’s release considers how natural climate solutions fit into my transition finance approach and the current obstacles these projects face. For me, one of the greatest climate contributions of carbon markets – especially the voluntary carbon markets – is their ability to bring additional sources of finance to the protection and restoration of natural habitats. However, if we are to integrate these vital climate solutions into a transitional approach, we must make changes. We need to adjust the rules and requirements that currently govern natural climate solutions financed through the carbon markets. What changes do I suggest? And how might these ideas impact project permanence? Find out for yourself in Chapter Four below 👇 If anyone missed the release of the previous chapters, you can find them here: >> https://lnkd.in/eW_2_BBC Check back at the same time next week to read Chapter Five: Lessons for the Energy Transition.

🌍 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 - At a time when companies committed to the #net #zero target need to be reassured about the quality of the carbon credits they purchase, The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has approved a #methodology that is often used by developers of #reforestation projects in the tropical belt – Verra’s VM0047. This means carbon credits generated under this recently improved methodology are considered #high #quality. ✅ Since there is an urgent need to scale up quality reforestation projects on top of emission reduction, this news – a priori technical – can become good news for #nature. 💡𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳-𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 - No doubt there are still challenges ahead, challenges we need to overcome to unlock the full potential of the #voluntary #carbon #market for the planet’s sustainability. Beyond the fact that the ICVCM itself will have to demonstrate its own integrity in the long term (🙂), the debates at #COP29 and even in Brussels (CRCF) are significant: the world has not yet converged on what makes a carbon credit of high quality. But we are making steps forward, and hopefully the high-quality #standards that are recognized in the voluntary carbon market will inspire #worldwide #regulations on carbon. Meanwhile, let’s trust one thing that is based on the sole baseline of common sense: when properly executed, recreating #large-#scale nature-like forests is good for nature, of which we are part.
