Unnatural disasters like #HurricaneHelene are impacting communities across the nation - and fossil fuel companies are making it worse. It's time for the national leaders in the U.S. to #EndFossilFuelSubsidies and stop giving handouts to corporations fueling the climate crisis. https://lnkd.in/eWntzyw7

Antarctica is going green — and not in a good way. New research has found that the area covered by vegetation is now 10 times larger than it was four decades ago. “The scale of the greening trend we found shocked us,” said Dr. Thomas Roland, from the University of Exeter. “The landscape is changing and these effects are visible from space.” Read more here: https://bit.ly/4gWxxqp

Let’s be honest – was the decision to re-introduce polluting fossil gas in our homes to speed up new housing construction, or was it to help a select few people in the Mayor’s office profit off of natural gas companies making more money at the expense of our health and energy bills? We think the answer is pretty clear.

Last night, #HurricaneMilton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm, devastating the state and rendering over 3.2 million people without power. If you can, please donate to local mutual aid efforts to support folks directly impacted by this unnatural disaster.

Bad corporate actors like Amazon and Meta are trying to water down the rules on carbon accounting to make it easier to appear greener. This is a dangerous moment - but it’s also an opportunity to set a rigorous new standard for renewable energy procurement that actually phases out fossil fuels. Read this new briefing from NewClimate Institute, Carbon Market Watch, ECOS, Beyond Fossil Fuels, Action Speaks Louder, and Stand.earth to find out how.
With the Science Based Targets initiative and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)'s revisions in full swing, many actors are trying to inform and influence these processes, and renewable electricity accounting appears to be one of the most relevant and most contested issues. In our latest Q&A briefing – with ECOS, Beyond Fossil Fuels, Carbon Market Watch, Stand.earth and Action Speaks Louder - we shed light on why 24/7 renewable electricity matching is a far more credible approach for the GHG Protocol and the SBTi than the Emissions First Partnership proposal. ⚡ 24/7 matching is a credible solution to support the electricity transition: Hourly matching provides an important demand signal for additional and novel renewable energy generation and storage technologies, required to completely decarbonise power systems. ⚠ The Emissions First Partnership is a repackaging of the offsetting model: Our briefing explains why the EFP proposals to loosen current accounting rules would legitimise loopholes and let major companies off the hook for tackling challenging yet key emission sources, distracting and delaying from real climate action. ☁ The trivialised notion that this is a choice between focusing on clean or dirty grids is not an accurate reflection of the situation or the challenges of the energy transition: the largest electricity consumers need to take responsibility to cooperate and overcome the significant challenges to decarbonising the grids that they use Read the full Q&A 🔗 https://lnkd.in/exkRdvWz #REC #Scope2 #Scope3 #Decarbonisation #HourlyMatching

We’re proud to be founding launch partners for #DAFDay: a new kind of giving day to redefine how donor advised funds are used: and who uses them. The timing couldn’t be better: DAFs are proven to increase generosity and are easier to use than ever before. Comment 💚 if you’re all IN with us for DAF Day on October 10th! #DAFForStand https://lnkd.in/e8PgG43j
