This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand climate risk. It is the risk of tipping points AKA feedback loops that terrified me some 25 years ago and have directed my work since. We Mean Business CDP CCAG

Must-read thread on the supposed 'slow-down' in EV sales, which is really shorthand for 'not actually slowing down, but incumbent car manufacturers being out-competed by new entrants'.

At the amazing @bloomberggreen Al Gore & Akshat Rathi shook the room post lunch Al: 'Solving climate is a polysolution - getting our collective act together to solve climate change will also enable us to sort out democracy, the extinction crisis and protect our sanity'.

'Fossil fuels are now in terminal decline in the US. China could have 3,000 GW of renewable energy by 2030. The world is changing rapidly. We must stop all methane leakage by 2030 and ban flaring. We must not permit unabated Fossil fuels.' John Kerry Bloomberg COP28 UAE

Enough said. Once again political ideology tumps common sense and damages confidence in the government.

I cant help wonder if Rishi Sunak is performing a Liz Truss moment. He completely misses the point that the goal is to limit warming to 1.5C, #netzero is needed but cumulative emissions are critical. Sunak announces series of U-turns on net zero pledges ft.com/content/02ecb9…

Good to see businesses pushing back on Conservatives Rishi Sunak back tracking on #NetZero policies. Investors & business need clear, consistent, long term policies & will innovate & invest accordingly driving growth. Lets not repeat the Netzero housing mistake. We Mean Business Coalition CDP
