The EU’s climate targets include capturing at least 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, 280 Mtpa by 2040, and up to 450 Mtpa by 2050 European Union CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency #European_Commission #Shipping #International_Shipping #Maritime_Industry #Robban_Assafina

New analysis reveals an opportunity to enhance climate action ↩️ Published this week, the analysis shows: ❌ Many nationally determined contributions (NDCs) have a lack of urban content—just 27% of NDCs have strong urban content.  🌍 Over 70 countries endorsed the Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP), yet 50 out of 72 have moderate, low or no urban content - showing potential for enhancing urban content to contribute to achieving global climate goals. Collaboration between national, regional, and local governments is key to achieving the Paris Agreement goals (and also of course, renewable energy uptake), but this isn't reflected in NDCs - yet.🌟 Dive into the data https://lnkd.in/dJa62BTD UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme)

The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident; it's time to shift our focus to climate-resilient transport infrastructure. World Highways Magazine recently published an article written by our CEO Zeevik Halber, emphasizing the importance of building the capabilities of professionals, such as engineers, and the role of donor banks and funding agencies in this transformative process.    By investing in education, training, and technology, we can empower engineers to design and implement projects that not only withstand the impacts of climate change but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for transport infrastructure globally. Let's work together to build a brighter and climate-resilient future for all. https://lnkd.in/drrWj72u #ClimateResilientTransportInfrastructure #CapacityBuilding #SustainableFuture International Road Federation (IRF Global)

Switzerland and Norway’s respective governments have signed a Declaration of Intent, which has been designed to strengthen the two countries cooperation over CCS and carbon dioxide removal. Both of these countries have shown large ambition when it comes to climate and energy policies and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. It has already been stated that in order for Europe and the world to reach their climate targets, a lot of climate measures are required and this includes CCS and CDR. The article below discusses the importance of CCS and CDR to both countries, who have made it clear through this agreement that this is one of their priorities. It is through this agreement and a host of other activities that show the two companies commitment to this project.

🌍 Islands are among the territories most affected by climate change, facing rising sea levels, changing rainfall patterns, increased temperatures, and intensified water scarcity leading to more wildfires. 🔄 The energy transition on islands is crucial due to their fragile ecosystems and reliance on petrol. Effective transition requires extensive coordination among various stakeholders, with community involvement being essential. 🎙️ Join our expert Cornillie Jan, Global Head of Advisory Services and Director of the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat, alongside Maja Jurisic from Pokret Otoka / Island Movement), Jorge Rodrigues de Almeida from RdA Climate Solutions and Matchmaker of the Smart Cities Marketplace as well as the EU islands secretariat and Petya Pishmisheva from the Covenant of Mayors - Europe as they delve into this topic on the podcast “Urban Reverb: Living in an Island Age.” In this episode, they discuss the parallels between the decarbonisation efforts of small and mid-sized cities and islands. They also explore whether islands can serve as models for town decarbonisation. 🎧 Discover the challenges faced by islands and the strategies for engaging citizens in the energy transition proposed by the participants. 👉https://lnkd.in/g_HdT3FA #Renewablenergy #ClimateChange #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Islands #Decarbonisation #CommunityEngagement #advisory
