Really excited to present our research on the net zero voluntary initiative & standards landscape. These mechanisms provide guidance to organisations and corporates to go net zero responsibly. This guidance must have integrity & nuance and inspire regulatory action.

While #NetZero targets cover two-thirds of global economy, truly robust ones cover only 5%, finds Thomas Hale et al. SEI's @DBroekhoff suggests a roadmap to translate voluntary corporate targets into national & intl regulations to High-Level Expert Group sei.org/perspectives/r…

This is the most important report I've seen for a long time - not just a fantastic source of evidence on what works to change behaviour but also of how far the government is from where it should be on climate action CAST Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research

In this our first global heatwave, we lucky ones who remain relatively unaffected should be asking where our food will come from when the next, more severe and long-lasting global drought hits. Mars? #JustStopOil theguardian.com/environment/li…

The problem with lowering ambition is that current policy also has a cost: public health, lagging behind Net Zero leaders, climate impact etc. We need well designed policy change that better supports those directly impacted and to communicate the Net Zero case more effectively!

The green bonds market is absolutely smashing it. Important to remember that as the Sunday Papers prepare their op eds this weekend arguing green policies should be ditched what they are arguing for is the UK to become an economic backwater. businessgreen.com/news/4120613/g…

For a century, swimming in the Seine was illegal. Today, the #ParisOlympics2024 Men’s and Women’s Triathlons are taking place in its waters 🏊 Having completed the #SeineRiverRun almost a month ago, I’m thrilled to see this beautiful waterway in action! This event is a glimpse

If integrating their water stewardship & their net zero goals into one another is so positive for companies why are they not doing it? 🤔 Virginia Newton-Lewis, Virginia Newton-Lewis Grundfos tells us more at The Climate Hub in this session with WINZ 💧 live from #ClimateWeekNYC🗽

Back in the UK for a couple of days. I cannot understand why there's no proper phone signal on the high street, or full coverage on the train lines!
