The renewables revolution in emerging economies has begun: ▪️87% of power investment is flowing into clean tech ▪️Solar and wind are growing exponentially ▪️Demand for fossil fuels has peaked in 1/3 of developing economies With the lowest fossil fuel reserves per person and highest renewables potential in the world, emerging economies are on a path to gain energy faster, cheaper, and more securely. But more finance is needed to reach the global goal of tripling renewable energy by 2030. Ahead of COP29 in Baku, Mission 2025 - the global coalition of real economy leaders - is formally asking governments in developed countries to help power up emerging economies at #COP29 by massively scaling finance, particularly in lower-income countries.

This week at #ClimateWeekNYC, University of Exeter released a new report on ‘positive tipping points’. With negative news on climate dominating the headlines, the teams of Earth Minutes, Global Optimism, University of Exeter and Open Planet challenged 50 young minds to co-create a piece of content (in a 2hr workshop!), to share this story of possibility with global youth audiences who couldn’t be here this week. https://lnkd.in/ezqJ2CKD The new report shows how a set of government policies can make clean technologies cheaper than fossil fuels, faster, and go on to trigger cascades of positive change across sectors. What does this mean for us? Positive tipping points show us how we can make the biggest impact this decade and flip the script on our futures. We need to dial up the volume on what’s possible! How? ➡️ Read more in the ‘A positive tipping, cascade in power, transport and heating’ report by University of Exeter ➡️ Think about the context of your own communities – how could you help trigger a cascade of #PositiveTippingPoints? ➡️ Share this message and help us change the climate narrative.

Winning slowly on climate change is the same as losing - so we always need to accelerate action. Five years in, I'm thrilled to see #TheClimatePledge’s 525+ signatories doing just that by making real progress towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Ambition on this scale was never going to be easy, and when it comes to climate action there is always more to be done. But we are learning every step of the way and today celebrating the #TheClimatePledge community – now five years old! Once this group reaches net-zero carbon, BRODIE conservatively estimates that the GHGs avoided would equate to more than 2.5 metric gigatons of CO2e annually. With more companies joining the pledge every week, I’m excited to see what the future brings. Read more in The Climate Pledge Update: https://lnkd.in/e4Qsc9dt

Calling all leaders in businesses, investment, science, data and civil society: updated national climate plans (NDCs) will be published by almost 200 governments early next year, but what those plans will look like is not just down to governments. Real economy leaders can shape the development and delivery of NDCs - if we unite for the actions we want. Have a look at this new messaging pack – compiled by #Mission2025 partners across the climate community – to see what we can do and how we can do it. This decade is our last chance to set the world on track for 1.5°C and protect the people and places we love. The NDCs can be our pathway there. Find the pack here: https://lnkd.in/eHWS7mVk #mission2025

Some want us to believe the transition is stalling - but it's actually faster, cheaper and more profitable than we think. What’s more, over the course of June – from the Bonn SBs through to London Climate Action Week – we've also seen that change is more popular than we think. The past month saw a wave of non-state actors – including Mayors, Governors, CEOs, investors and citizens – step forward in support of more ambitious climate action from governments, demonstrating the enormous appetite across the real economy to move further, faster, together.
