The share of energy production from renewable sources in Australia's system continues to grow:

University of Sydney's Net Zero Institute (NZI) has released a White Paper emphasising the need to recycle critical minerals and explore alternatives for essential materials in the transition to net zero emissions.  Recognising the mining boom that is coming with the road to renewables running through Australia's critical minerals sector ... we must ensure sustainability is the watchword.

Important work with different voices in the #energy sector this week, supporting Mads Prange Kristiansen in this explainer in #TheAustralian on the Developer's Dilemma in relation to #offshorewind investments in Australia: “This is because developers are continually faced with the 'developer’s dilemma' of deciding how far along the development process they are willing to keep spending money versus the certainty of getting a return on the investment. "As in all developing industries, the set-up costs in this new Australian market for offshore wind projects are significant: staff, project plans, new infrastructure, restricted supply chains, workforce shortfalls, market research, community engagement, legal issues." "Getting all of this to fall into line means that there will, as is usually the case with major projects, be a drop off in interest or appetite as costs accrue." "Ultimately, a developer will make a final investment decision based on the certainty of recovering their investment with a profit sufficient to compensate for the risks taken, while satisfying their investors’ return expectation." https://lnkd.in/gWibcvfn

💡 Lessons from Climate Week NYC #1: Key takeaways from Christiana Figueres advice to new climate funders: 1. Trust experienced peers 2. Fund beyond pet interests 3. Collaborate and co-fund to maximise learnings and impact 4. Hesitation holds us back—lead with bold action 5. Scale, speed, and impatience are essential for climate philanthropy 6. We’re holding the pen of history—let’s use it, fast and at scale, to make an impact 🚨 Urgency is crucial: With only 220Gt left in the carbon budget and emissions at 40Gt per year, we're racing against time. #ClimateAction #Philanthropy #RealZero #ClimateWeekNYC
