COP27: Broken USD 100 Billion Promise of Climate Finance but New Hope For Loss and Damage
At a time when the world should be moving rapidly towards climate change solutions, action is slow. And as promising as the new climate finance proposal agreed upon at COP27 might look, it alone won't be enough to adequately protect the most vulnerable.
Global EV Sales 2022: Stunning Boom and a Bright Future
While Southeast Asian countries are lagging behind EV leaders, through the right policy measures, incentives they can decarbonise their public and private transportation fleets.
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.
Renewable Energy Progress of Microsoft, Google and Apple
The tech sector should be at the forefront of the battle against climate change. Yet, only a handful of companies are doing enough. Currently, all except Apple are neglecting their supply chain emissions.
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.
Types of Hydrogen: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
There are three main types of hydrogen that are categorised based on the production method and type of energy input.
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.
Could Hydropower Be the Answer to the Philippines’ Energy Woes?
The Philippines aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. This plan will increase hydropower capacity by over 160% through incentivising local and foreign investment. The Department of Energy has already approved 450 new hydropower facilities in recent years, and we expect this trend to continue into the coming decades.
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.
A Push For Loss and Damage Finance at COP27
Loss and damage severely threaten the human rights of affected people, communities and future generations in vulnerable countries. Loss and damage is a climate justice issue. It is causing unprecedented human suffering around the world. This is a strong enough reason for developed countries to act, and COP27 will be the best stage to bring this to the forefront.
Worst Companies for the Environment: Holding the Renewable Energy Transition Back
The companies with the most extensive resources are often the biggest climate laggards. Realising the difference they can make and starting to support the global clean energy transition would be massively beneficial for their own good and the future of everyone else.
Breakthrough Agenda Report Signals Risks to Clean Technology
The first annual Breakthrough Agenda Report indicates that the current progress towards the agenda's goals is lacking. Each of the five main emitting sectors has significant progress to make, particularly in the adoption of clean energy technologies. Hopefully, the report will be a wake-up call to world leaders and will facilitate meaningful climate adaptation discussions at COP27.
Climate Change Impacts Are Worsening in 2022 and COP27 and G20 Leaders Need to Respond
A new study reveals the massive proportion of climate disasters all across the world, proving that no country is safe from climate change's impacts. Climate financing for mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage should be central to the COP27 and G20 meeting agendas later this year.
