Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU)’s Post

Over the past two decades, governments around the world have responded to climate change through various initiatives and policies, with carbon pricing at the forefront. This graphic in Visual Capitalist maps 70 active carbon pricing initiatives around the world and highlights their global impact as seen in the 2022 World Bank report. #carbonpricing #carbonmarkets #carbonmarket #vcm #carbonreduction #carbonemissions #carbonneutrality #carbonnegative #climatechange #emissionstrading #carbonoffsets #carbontrading #carbontax

AB 1279 - THE CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CRISIS ACT 🏠 What is AB 1279? AB 1279 requires the state to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) no later than 2045, and achieve and maintain net negative GHG emissions thereafter. It also requires California to reduce statewide GHG emissions by 85% compared to 1990 levels. 🚆 Transit-Centered Growth One of the many aspects of AB 1279 is its emphasis on transit-centered development. By encouraging the construction of housing near transit hubs, we're not only making urban living more convenient, but also reducing our carbon footprint. 🌱 Sustainable Growth AB 1279 incorporates green building practices and aims to minimize the environmental impact of new developments. This commitment to sustainable growth sets a precedent for balancing housing needs with the preservation of our planet. #AB1279 #UrbanDevelopment #SustainableCities #CommunityEmpowerment #EquitableHousing #TransitCenteredGrowth

Panel 3 of the Melbourne session of our 2023 Corporate Climate Masterclass series will take a look at the current, and future, state of Australia's ACCU Scheme. The Independent Review into ACCUs released at the beginning of the year found that while the scheme was sound, there were a number of updates required for continued improvement. We take a look at the progress on implementing these recommendations with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, before also taking in the market perspective and considerations for future supply constraints with the Clean Energy Regulator. Finally we look at lessons learnt from the past decade of the Carbon Farming Initiative Act, and future review opportunities with the Climate Change Authority. IN PERSON PLACES AT CAPACITY.

Don't forget NZ CS 3 when preparing your climate statements! In fact, start there! 📖👀🔽 This is the key message of the External Reporting Board's latest video with Amelia Sharman & Jack Bisset. It can be tempting to start your climate reporting journey by treating NZ CS 1 as a checklist towards compliance ✅ But that way lies trouble! ⚠ NZ CS 3 sets out the key principles of the regime, through which all the disclosures should be considered, and has additional required disclosures. The video packs a lot in to 5 minutes and is worth a watch. #climatereporting #climaterelateddisclosures #sustainabilityreporting #esg #greenwashing

❗The 4th part of our CSRD Guide is here❗Today we take a closer look at the first subcategory of the main category "Environment", that needs to be reviewed in a materiality assessment: E1 Climate Change 🌍 This subcategory is very different from the others, as stricter reporting rules apply here in the event of immateriality. In our CSRD Guide 📘, you will learn what needs to be reported if your asset is material and what you need to pay attention to if it’s not? 🔍 Coming 🔜 - next Thursday at 1 pm, we will explain what to look out for in case of E2 „Pollution“ and which key figures must be disclosed. #CSRDGuide #Climcycle #sustainablefinance #CSRD #ESRS 

Why involve independent verifiers in carbon markets? Independent verifiers play a crucial role in carbon markets by ensuring transparency and credibility in carbon offset projects. Their unbiased assessment and verification of emission reduction claims provide confidence to buyers and investors. By scrutinizing project methodologies, data accuracy, and adherence to established standards, independent verifiers enhance the integrity of carbon credits, mitigating the risk of greenwashing and ensuring genuine environmental impact. Their involvement fosters trust in the carbon market, encouraging sustainable practices and facilitating the achievement of emission reduction targets. Independent verification acts as a safeguard, promoting the effectiveness of carbon markets as a tool in the fight against climate change. #climate #climatechange #climateaction #carbon #carbonmarkets #sustainability #climatesolutions

There is no get out of jail free card on #climatedisclosure! Packed house with Steven of Ceres, Inc., and Catherine Atkin (major contributor to getting the CA bills passed), Roma A. McCaig of REI (been reporting emissions since 2006), and Sphera. As Mark Evans pointed out — privately owned, smaller companies are getting on board quickly with climate reporting even if they’re not required to meet rules like CA’s. Their owners just know it’s good business practice. #esg #climate #sustainability #greenbiz24

Hon. Simon Watts .Listen. Your plan is not enough and sadly I think you know it. The consultation is maze and the public will be put off assuming you know what you are doing. I can only pray you are a 1 term government since I have set us back years in the first few months. #climateemergency Greenhouse plan not realistic, places NZ reputation at risk - experts https://lnkd.in/gYjj8FFm

Carbon offset is the action or project that reduces or removes emissions, while carbon credit points are the units used to measure and trade the outcomes of these actions in the carbon market. The two concepts work together in the broader context of mitigating climate change by encouraging emission reductions and promoting sustainable practices. . . #carbon #CarbonOffsets #CarbonCreditPoints #ClimateSolutions #EmissionReduction #SustainableChoices #greenfinance #ClimateCredits #EcoFriendlyOffsets #CarbonTrading #EnvironmentalBalance #LowCarbonFootprint #ClimateAction #offsettingemissions #carbonneutraloptions #GreenInvesting #SustainableLiving #OffsetAndCredit #climatemitigation #CleanEnergyChoices #EcoCreditSystem #SustainabilityNow #GreenEconomy #CarbonReductionStrategies #EarthFriendlyChoices #RenewableCredits #climatepositive
