"Signing off climate plan without evidence it is achievable" If you have a goal for Net Zero, or have pledged the dates by which you will achieve it - have you actually got a manageable plan in place? Do you know your current footprint from which to work from? Trident help with all the above and more to guide you towards your goals, so reach out if this is relevant to you and your organisation. https://lnkd.in/e9BhTbNg

Our International Cooperation and Policy Campaigner, Bertha Letsoko, is talking to UJFM 95.4 about the Framework and Tracker for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). NDCs are the pledges made to cut greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. Engaging with NDCs helps you understand your country’s climate targets and advocate for stronger climate action.

It's not just our Council's Net-Zero targets, but ours too. Council's can't pass laws, have little money and need the support of our communities. This includes, anchor institutions, schools, businesses, residents, sports clubs, pubs & faith groups all working together. What's your plan? #CommunityClimateAction #TheGreatCollaboration.

Tackling methane emissions has great potential to ease the pace of the climate crisis. Cutting methane pollution is the fastest way to curb the pace of the climate crisis, and the oil and gas industry is “the ‘low-hanging fruit’ of methane mitigation,” said Rob Jackson, chair of the Global Carbon Project and a climate professor at Stanford University https://lnkd.in/gpzMHA9H

This is interesting it's certainly true that that Oil and Gas traders are ensuring that Voluntary offsets are not traded in an attempt to keep the price lower or worse to make sure the VCM fails. The problem is that the whole Standards and Registries should never have been put together. Together leads to a lack of quality and conflicts of interest. #actonclimate

BEAMA’s vision is for a low carbon, flexible and secure energy system in the UK. Government policy aims reflect a general sharing of this vision, and the Climate Change Committee’s publications demonstrate its importance in mitigating climate change with the UK in a leadership role. https://lnkd.in/eh7RQ5uW #AcceleratingElectrification #EnergyPolicy #Target2030

I’m sorry to say this is a fairly damning assessment of progress by the Scottish Government towards climate goals as set out by the U.K. Committee on Climate Change. Many of us have known for some time- one hardly needed to be Sherlock Holmes - that we were badly off track in a whole series of areas. But it’s still sobering to see the lack of progress in so many areas laid out so starkly ( or is that so Chris Stark ly?) My wish is that the Scottish Government in future focusses less on headland grabbing ‘world leading ambitions’- which too often just look like a desire to be different/better than the U.K. overall- and is more focussed on delivery Well worth a read #climatechange #climatecrisis #Scottishtargets #progress https://lnkd.in/eRX-vt75

I'm excited to share this insightful interview on just transition and climate justice in Zimbabwe. The conversation highlights the need for a gradual shift from coal dependence and the importance of reasonable time for adaptation. It's a call to action for urban planners like myself to be involved in climate justice conversations and ensure that our communities are well-informed and designed to be climate-resilient. The interview aired on NRTV features valuable insights shared by Elias Augustin from ActionAid Zimbabwe and I highly recommend taking the time to listen and gain great insights into Zimbabwe's roadmap for COP29 and beyond. Let us all be well conversant on what Climate Justice entails and push for a just transition that meet the needs of our communities and promotes climate adaptation and mitigation that prioritizes the most vulnerable. #climatejustice #sustainabledevelopment #resilientcommunities.

In 2019, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities invited the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre to be a Regional Climate Change Advisor for their Partners for Climate Protection Program. The program has a shared goal of taking action against climate change and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions. Learn more about MCCAC: https://mccac.ca/

It has never been more important to unite diverse voices to enhance climate communication and drive meaningful change. COP29 AzerbaijanGreen Climate Fund Global Green Growth Institute United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) #Comms4Climate
