𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 🗞 ✍ As a new academic year kicks off, our colleague Igor Shishlov highlights the significance of integrating #ClimateEducation into business school curricula in a blog post for HEC Lausanne - The Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Lausanne, co-authored with Zuriñe Bidaurreta. With stricter regulations and heightened scrutiny on #NetZero pledges, are these institutions rising to the challenge of preparing students to tackle one of humanity’s most pressing issues in a rapidly evolving landscape? 🌍 📰 Read the full #blog post and discover how the Climate & Business Certificate at HEC Paris run by Igor and his colleague Daniel Halbheer aims to equip future leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to drive impactful, sustainable change 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dkAsu2hS HEC Paris Sustainability & Organizations Institute (S&O)

On September 11-13, our Managing Director, Sonja Butzengeiger, and our climate policy and hydrogen expert, Chandan Kumar Sah, attended the International Conference on Green Hydrogen, India.🌏 This high-profile event, which drew over 6,000 participants, showcased India's commitment to becoming a key player in the global green hydrogen-driven energy transition. Both policymakers and private sector stakeholders are making substantial strides in creating an ecosystem to support the scaling up of the #greenhydrogen market. We anticipate that India will emerge as one of the world’s leading producers of green hydrogen. 👏 ⚖️The conference featured significant discussions on the need for global standards. During a panel on certification requirements for the green hydrogen value chain from a lifecycle perspective, Sonja highlighted the role of #carbonmarkets in enhancing the bankability of green PtX projects, whether in the ammonia, fertilizer, or steel sectors. She emphasised that replacing fossil fuels, such as coal, with renewable hydrogen not only unlocks substantial carbon credit opportunities—accelerating progress toward a sustainable future—but also helps companies meet #NetZero targets or comply with mandatory emissions regulations. 📣At Perspectives, we actively contribute to this transition by developing new Article 6 and voluntary carbon market methodologies across various project types. 📣 Learn more about Perspectives' hydrogen expertise: https://lnkd.in/dDAvCa8e

📺 We are pleased to share that last month, our senior founding partner, Axel Michaelowa, was featured on Swiss TV SRF’s ‘10 vor 10’ segment. As a seasoned expert in climate negotiations, Axel was invited to provide his perspective on the Swiss Export Credit Agency SERV’s ongoing financing of fossil fuel investments. 🎙️“Gas as a recognised transitional solution is a tricky issue. All countries that declared that they would rely on gas as a crisis mechanism have also stated this would be temporary, but then it will be for 10 or 20 years. (...) And we do not have that much time. If we want to get on the target reduction path set by the Paris Agreement, then we can no longer support such long-term fossil investments", said Axel.

📯 As part of the ongoing NDC Partnership project, scheduled to run until the first quarter of 2025, Perspectives Climate Research hosted its first workshop in Niamey, Niger, on September 5 and 6. Led by senior founder Axel Michaelowa, the two-day in-person capacity-building sessions brought together approximately 40 key stakeholders from government and civil society organizations to deepen their understanding of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and explore practical steps for implementation. 💡 The NDCP project aims to develop a comprehensive national Article 6 implementation strategy for Niger, enabling the country to engage in international carbon markets while aligning with sustainable development goals. The workshop covered an in-depth exploration of Article 6 concepts, strategies to enhance climate governance, and interactive discussions to foster collaboration across diverse stakeholders, institutions, and sectors. As Niger moves forward in its climate action journey, this workshop marks a crucial milestone in empowering national actors with the tools and knowledge necessary to implement Article 6 effectively 🌍🌱 #CarbonMarkets #SDGs #ClimateGovernance
