While the UK securing additional capacity of 3.8 GW of offshore wind in the AR6 CfD scheme is positive, a higher ambition approach to auction delivery is needed for offshore wind targets by 2030. Read BusinessGreen's op-ed by the ETC's Shane O'Connor: businessgreen.com/opinion/435345…

Join us at our next Climate Talk, this time in Birmingham, where an expert-led panel will discuss the possibilities of #decarbonisation and #innovation. 📆 19 September 📍 Hockley Social Club, Birmingham Sign up: forms.gle/6eeh4WxdZQ3z3o… #GermanClimateAction #ClimateTalks

International finance to offset short-term incentives to deforest are crucial. But ending deforestation via financial mechanisms alone could cost at least $1.3-2.6 trillion by 2030 meaning finance must be combined with better policy & regulation. energy-transitions.org/bitesize/its-i…

Reaching net-zero will rely on massive #cleanelectrification. Six key actions in the 2020s will enable the required scale up in electricity deployment. Action 6: Increasing financial and business commitments to decarbonisation.

As the UN's Feb 2025 deadline for a new raft of 2035 #climate plans nears - I'm collating the best advice, tips, modelling from civil society + analysts on what 1.5C aligned plans look like - will add as reports emerge 👇

Look out for our new briefing note on #GridsBuild coming in September. The analysis focuses on how increasing the rate of grid build requires a step-change for many countries.

#OffshoreWind is vital for the clean energy transition. It can generate electricity when the sun isn't shining and doesn't compete for land use. We must rapidly accelerate wind capacity if the world is to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=nJnszd…

There is enough money globally to finance the #EnergyTransition but we need to make sure that the business case is clear. ETC Chair Adair Turner outlines our analysis on just how much investment is needed to build a zero-carbon economy. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=zBvwxD…

An EnvironmentalFinance op-ed by the ETC's Shane O'Connor calls for a more ambitious approach to auction delivery & streamlined permitting and grid development in response to the UK gov't’s boost of £300 million for offshore wind in AR6. Read here: environmental-finance.com/content/analys…
