South Africa’s ‘Just Energy Transition Partnership’: Lessons For Asian Countries
The South African JETP marks a groundbreaking moment for global energy financing. It has set the stage for a new climate-progress model that can unite developed and developing countries, as well as public and private financiers, on the path towards a just energy transition.
COP27 Finance Day: Expectations and Outcomes
COP27's Finance Day didn't exactly provide many reasons for excitement. It ended with more promises than actual progress, showing a lack of solidarity with vulnerable nations, especially from the world's biggest polluters.
Using Transition Bonds For Ammonia and Blue Hydrogen Projects: The Risks For Investors and the Issuing Companies
Using transition bonds to fund blue hydrogen and ammonia projects risks extending the climate crisis. But, more importantly, it tarnishes the idea of climate financing at a time when it is needed the most.
COP27 Egypt and the Road to Net-Zero
COP27 shouldn't be yet another conference where promises are broken without consequences. Instead, it should be the stage where global leaders start making actual progress in protecting the most vulnerable to climate change.
COP27 Priorities: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
Mitigation is critical to minimise the risk of climate change's worst impacts, but failing to fund adaptation will take a toll on the most vulnerable. Both aspects should be priorities for COP27.
Climate Change Impacts Are Worsening in 2022 and COP27 and G20 Leaders Need to Respond

The Economic Benefits of Renewable Energy for Asia: Crunching the Numbers
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Asia will unleash massive economic benefits, including expanding the job market, ensuring steady GDP gains and hedging the unpredictable fossil fuel prices.
