🌱 Do you know the European Green Deal? Aimed at making #Europe the world’s first #climate-neutral continent by 2050, this ambitious plan tackles #climatechange head-on ✊ transforms the economy, and ensures no one is left behind. 🗺️ The Deal is a roadmap for a #sustainable economy, from cutting greenhouse gas emissions to investing in clean energy. It's not just a policy; it's our future. Dive deeper into how the European Green Deal is shaping a brighter, sustainable tomorrow for all > https://t.ly/uhVBu #EuropeanGreenDeal #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture

“The UK may once have been a hare, but the net zero tortoises of the world are rapidly about to overtake us.”   Fantastic to see Rt Hon Chris Skidmore announcing his new initiative ‘Better Earth’ last week, designed to aid and support national and regional governments in policymaking, infrastructure, delivery and finance for net-zero transition.   Putting plans into action and driving change from the front is exactly what we need, continuing to build on any successes, rather than sitting back at the first sign of change.   https://lnkd.in/eeTzvmA7   #netzero #climatechange #decarbonisation #renewableenergy #ParisAgreement

🌍 Exciting News! 🌿 Five northern European countries - Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden - have joined forces to establish international arrangements for the transport and storage of captured CO2 across borders. 🌱 This collaboration is a crucial step towards achieving European climate goals and developing a sustainable future. 🌟 Together, we are working towards a cleaner, greener planet! 🌏 #ClimateAction #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #EuropeanCollaboration 🌿🌍 https://lnkd.in/emvsD8VX #carboncapture #decarbonization #energy #netzero #engineering #CCUS #ClimateChange #SustainableDevelopment #EnergySector #MENARegion #CircularCarbonEconomy #Collaboration #Investments #PolicyFrameworks #CleanEnergy #GreenerFuture #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition

Accelerate: The Transition to a Net Zero Future conference, takes place tomorrow, Friday 26 April, at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.  Global and Irish policymakers, thought leaders, industry representatives and academics will discuss some of the most pressing issues in climate and energy policy and share their vision for a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable net zero future. Brought to you by ESB and the Institute of International and European Affairs , this conference will explore Ireland’s progress towards a clean energy future and innovations that could be key to accelerating the transition to net zero. #iieaevents #cleanenergy #energytransformation #acceleratetonetzero #ESBNetZeroFuture 

Like our clients who support energy transition projects across the globe, we’re on our own environmental journey to make a positive impact on the world. That’s why each year we report and offset our carbon emissions. To offset unavoidable emissions, we purchase carbon credits to use through the UN Clean Development Mechanism, an initiative that connects businesses with global projects that are making a positive impact on the climate challenge. https://buff.ly/3WgZ6kQ #NRLNetZero #energy #energytransition #netzero #environment #sustainability

The re-election of Ursula von der Leyen could provide continued stability for the EU’s ambitious climate goals, including the Green Deal, which aims to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. This deal is crucial for transforming Europe into the first climate-neutral continent, focusing on: 🌿 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Achieving a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. 💡 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲: Increasing renewable energy use to 42.5% by 2030. 🔄 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲: Promoting recycling and reducing waste to enhance resource efficiency. These points are essential for addressing climate change and fostering economic growth through green technologies.

A few wealthy nations, led by the US, are spending billions of taxpayer dollars on unproven climate tech, risking further delays in moving away from fossil fuels. Despite these massive investments, carbon capture and hydrogen projects have consistently underperformed, while fossil fuel companies continue to profit. 😔 Critics are frustrated, pointing out that these funds could instead support cleaner, proven solutions like renewables and energy efficiency. The current approach feels like a colossal waste, especially when the planet needs urgent action, not more risky bets. 📢❗🚨 This misuse of public money is disheartening. It could have gone towards real change, helping vulnerable communities and truly fighting the climate crisis. Instead, it’s propping up the very industries that are driving us deeper into the problem. 💔 Follow for more Climate Justice News: https://buff.ly/3XodUjA #renewableenergy #solarenergy #climatechange #technology #innovation #socialimpact #equity #equityandinclusion #climatechange #environment #sustainability

As businesses worldwide increasingly focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility, the Paris Agreement crediting mechanism offers a valuable opportunity for companies to contribute to global climate goals while also reaping financial benefits. By investing in renewable energy, energy efficiency projects, and other carbon reduction initiatives, businesses can not only reduce their carbon footprint but also earn carbon credits that can be traded or sold. This incentivizes private sector engagement in climate action and drives meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future. Let's continue to embrace innovation and collaboration to make a positive impact on our planet. #sustainability #climateaction #ParisAgreement"

https://lnkd.in/ezETXpzv Not the best news, but also not unexpected. The targets were always a long shot. With delays in grid decarbonisation, spiraling utility and material costs and subsequent lack of available funding to prepare for degasification of the public sector estate - missing the national targets was always a likely outcome. A topic that will become highly debated the closer to the existing net zero dates we get. #sustainability #netzero #nhssustainability

🤔 How can the planning system support the decarbonisation of our energy infrastructure? ⚡ Aldersgate Group, CPRE The countryside charity and RenewableUK explore this question in their new report. It was great to join the roundtable discussion for this crucial piece of work. Our #BritainTalkClimate research earlier this year showed us that people are more than twice as likely to think politicians should speed up, rather than slow down efforts to reach net zero. There is real appetite for action on climate. However, we also found that very few people feel Westminster or local government have given them clear, relevant information, or consulted them on the policies and technologies being implemented to transition away from fossil fuels. ✔ This new report is clear that as climate policies are rolled out, it’s important that people are involved and help shape them. This will improve policy implementation on the ground and help maintain public support, while also helping to build back some trust in government.
