Op-Ed: Seizing Green Job Opportunities Through Climate Policy and Education Transformation
Since the Paris Agreement at COP 21, the World Economic Forum stated that the increasing number of green jobs has not been followed by increased human resource capacity that can keep up with emerging new jobs in the green sector. With Indonesia's upcoming elections set to take place in 2024, will politicians try to win the votes of young voters with a more robust framework for green jobs?
The Problem With Japan’s Carbon Neutrality Targets and Climate Strategy
Japan is a hotspot for technology advancements, research and development. Few can rival its ability to create and scale new technologies and bring them to the market. Yet, the leadership has been questionable at best regarding climate progress and energy policy ambition.
How To Avoid Greenwashing
Greenwashing threatens the global environmental movement, from the renewable energy transition to conservation. Additionally, it is damaging for both consumers and businesses. Understanding the basics of how to avoid greenwashing goes a long way to limiting its intentional and unintentional use.
Australia’s CCS Expansion Poses More Risks
Australia is encouraging oil and gas companies to create CCS ventures; they are also paying them to do so with the issue of Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) under the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) backed by the Australian government. The addition of CCS will lead to a net increase in GHG emissions, putting the world at risk of failing to meet CO2 reduction targets consistent with the Paris Climate Agreement’s aim of keeping the rise in global average temperatures to 1.5°C.
The IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2023: Global and Asian Gas Demand to Peak by 2030
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that while clean energy adoption is accelerating rapidly, current policies will still push global warming to 2.4°C, far beyond the Paris Agreement's target. Global leaders must make COP28 count by pledging to achieve the IEA's five pillars for getting back on track.
Japan Puts the G7 Climate Leadership at Risk
The fight against climate change started in Kyoto in 1997, with Japan at the helm. 25 years later, instead of leading it, Japan is stalling, and time is slipping away. This is having consequences for the world and the rest of the G7.
Greenhushing vs Greenwashing: Tackling Sustainability Misinformation
Greenwashing has a long history, with several high-profile cases taking place in the public sphere. Greenhushing is the newer approach to sustainability misinformation but is just as harmful to global climate action. Understanding both strategies is critical to keeping companies accountable for their corporate sustainability aspirations.
Tech Supply Chain Decarbonisation and Apple’s New Commitments – Podcast
The Energy Insights podcast speaks with Katrin Wu at Greenpeace East Asia about supply chain decarbonisation in the technology industry.
Greenhushing: The Silent Barrier to Global Sustainability
Sustainability has been steadily increasing in the corporate world due to public, regulatory and financial pressure. As a result, some companies have fallen back on greenhushing to reduce public awareness of their environmental impacts and to appear more sustainable.
Southeast Asia Prefers Renewables, But Misplaced Fears of High Costs Delay Adoption
Southeast Asia has immense clean energy potential, and experts estimate that capitalising on it will unlock massive gains. With renewables being the cheapest source of new power in countries comprising two-thirds of the global population and responsible for 90% of electricity generation, switching to renewables will help Southeast Asian countries ease the burden of fossil fuel subsidies on their economies.
COP28 Goals: Targeting a Climate-resilient Future
COP28 revolves around the themes of invigorating climate adaptation and finance, making the summit inclusive and supporting communities at the forefront of climate change impacts. COP28's goals support these ideas with targets for emissions reductions, developing stronger climate commitments, meeting previous obligations and placing agriculture at the centre of climate action. Meeting these goals will be a major milestone in the world's response to climate change.
Why LNG in the Philippines Is More of a Problem Than a Solution
The Philippines’ LNG import ambitions could increase its dependence on one of the most expensive fuels available, according to Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA). The country is focusing on Batangas for many of its LNG developments. New LNG terminals mean more vessels passing, docking and unloading along the coast, threatening marine ecosystems and affecting the livelihoods of communities who depend on it.
IEA: Urgent and Joint Action Needed To Keep the 1.5°C Target Alive
The IEA's latest report is clear: global leaders either take urgent and collective action now or miss the 1.5°C target.
COP28 Agenda: Blueprint for Inclusive Global Climate Action
COP28 will focus on the first Paris Agreement Global Stocktake and will use the moment to realign national commitments towards limiting warming to 1.5°C. The meeting's agenda primarily aims to reduce emissions, increase renewable energy capacity, develop the financial system to support this goal and make climate action inclusive to all stakeholders.
