Startup Macedonia’s Post

  Today the Green Finance Institute https://lnkd.in/gQHEc9bv published a report ‘Assessing the Materiality of Nature-Related Finance Risks for the UK’.   The report highlights the impact that the cumulative effect of nature and climate could have on financial resilience for many companies, creating a business case for change today. This adds further import yesterday’s ISSB announcement on commencing work on nature in addition to the new and emerging corporate regulations which emphasise the important of climate resilience.   At KPMG we have teams focused on supporting companies in understanding their climate, nature and climate & nature resilience using our Climate IQ tooling (and its nature module). If you would like to discuss this please contact Bridget Beals. #esg #climate #nature #ClimateIQ

Yesterday, Minister Guilbeault participated in the Sustainable Finance Summit in Montréal to discuss progress on sustainable finance and Canada's ambitious climate goals. We are working on several initiatives, including a sustainable finance taxonomy and climate-related financial disclosures, to ensure investments toward a greener economy, aligned with reaching net-zero by 2050. Are you prepared to support and contribute to an ambitious plan for a net-zero economy by 2050? Read more: https://ow.ly/XA2x50RIHIm

The Role of Finance in a Changing Climate 🌱💹 The financial sector has an important role in managing climate-related risks and steering the economy towards sustainable growth. With the Paris Agreement, there's a global commitment to align finance flows with low-emission and climate-resilient pathways. What does this mean for financial institutions? 🫰 They need to be proactive in aligning financial flows with sustainable practices. 🫰 There's a growing need to support low-carbon finance and green investments. What steps are you taking to ensure your finances support a sustainable future? How can we encourage more green financing in the market? #GreenFinance #ClimateAction #ESGInvesting #CarbonNeutral #FinancialSector

What would the World look like if we had higher Capital Gains Tax rate for heavy carbon emitters and streamlined listings rules for green companies? These are just two of the urgent policy recommendations put forward by experts from business, finance, international organisations and academia in a new e-book.

Another very insightful chapter on the thorny issue of Additionality ! David’s take on the Diffusion of Innovations theory is a good suggestion of how to move things forward, particularly using the Positive Tipping Point (PTP) as the point when no additional carbon finance is needed.  This complements the concept of Sensitive Interventions Points proposed by Cameron Hepburn – i.e., the point when we can take an action to shift the system to move the system towards a PTP. With relation of the "number of reasons why the add tool needs to be reinvented”, I would add the problem that the current tools may be resulting in a larger number of false negatives than of false positives blocked. This is what our current research in Oxford is focusing on (Min Ruan, Sam Fankhauser). The idea is to adopt positive lists with carbon yields calibrated for additionality of the sector, as opposed to the individual projects. It is about time we face this challenge head on, as opposed to sticking to dogmatic and outdated approaches.
