On Thursday 6th of June in the Cobh Community Centre from 11am till 2pm Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications will host a Public information event on the proposed #DMAP Designated Maritime Area Plan - This is your opportunity to ask questions, find out how the plan will benefit you and your community and of course how it all works. I have met all the team and they are very engaging. The #DMAP is a result of The Government Led Approach, a steady approach hence it has taken time as a lot of research, due diligence and listening has gone into the plan. #greenenergy is our future, we, the current generation are laying down the foundation for a #cleanfuture for the next generation and generations to come. The benefits are just enormous - #cleanair, #energysecurity #employment and #communityenhancement. #corkharbour is well positioned to be the #renewableenergyhub off the south coast - we have all the ingredients right on our doorstep - Port of Cork Company Ltd.

Join us next week to learn more about zero emission appliance standards, clean heat standards, and how Massachusetts and Maryland are using these policies to accelerate building decarbonization!

Join us for a (free!) webinar focused on navigating the design and installation challenges related to #vaporintrusion mitigation. Langan Associate Principal Matthew Ambrusch, PE, MBA and Ryan Miller (Land Science) will discuss common challenges, factors to consider, and case studies highlighting successful projects and lessons learned.

The first edition of Environment Journal Quarterly is now available and I just love all the interactive video, links and detailed summaries of projects - including the Oneida Energy Storage Project (link below). Way to go Connie Vitello and team Actual Media Inc. for launching this exciting new format! #environment #publishing

We are proud to publish today our inaugural analysis of the market for Jurisdictional REDD+ credits (J-REDD+). Available to subscribers this 30-page report and supporting model, analyses in detail the future supply of carbon credits from some 23 J-REDD+ programmes as well as potential sources of demand. The analysis uses in-house geospatial modelling to estimate historic emission levels, emission reduction scenarios, and the HFLD bonus, coupled with policy risk metrics and J-REDD+ readiness factors for each country. Adjustments are made for the nesting of REDD+ projects within jurisdictional programmes, and the use of credits by host governments against their NDCs. Overall, our analysis shows that currently known J-REDD+ programmes have the potential to contribute nearly 15% global credit supply. Advanced Purchase Agreements from the likes of the LEAF Coalition will absorb some of this supply, but there will still be significant volumes available to the rest of the market. By design, jurisdictional mechanisms create large scale solutions. These have been promoted as the primary way of avoiding the challenges of leakage associated with project-based REDD+, and are able to deliver large scale forest protection. However, they also have the potential to create large volumes of credits. Both sides of the market need to come together for the true benefits of jurisdictional approaches to be realised.

Green infrastructure... I could write lots on the subject but rather than doing that I will point out this fascinating and insightful conference presentation/discussion from The Town and Country Planning Association. It's well worth listening right to the end! #greeninfrastructure #planning #biodiversity https://lnkd.in/eG4xz-JE

The MSCI Carbon Market modelling team leading from the front again. The world's first serious look at the role of jurisdictional efforts to create carbon credits from the prevention of deforestation. Some really interesting conclusions.....and watch this space for our inaugural price forecasts for Article 6 credits. Coming to a post near you soon ! https://lnkd.in/dZGHz3nv #carbonmarkets #netzero #climatechange #REDD+

Affie Ellis Courtney Shephard Shane Schulz at the Special Institute on #CarbonCapture, Utilization, and Storage addressed: > Regulatory frameworks for CCUS infrastructure, Class VI permitting, and CO2 pipeline siting; > President Biden’s “Justice40 Initiative” to provide benefits to vulnerable communities "marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution" - https://lnkd.in/gtidvxhk; > Why project developers must positively engage with communities and landowners; and > Working with federally recognized tribes- "Tribes can administer environmental programs under the 'treatment as a state' provisions of environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, giving them greater autonomy as separate sovereigns". #climatechange #environmentaljustice

NTIA Launches New Permitting and Mapping Tool The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) launched a new mapping tool in an effort help grant recipients and others deploying infrastructure identify permit requirements and avoid potential environmental impacts when connecting a particular location to broadband service. The "Permitting and Environmental Information Application" is designed to help federal broadband grant recipients and subgrantees identify and understand the types of permits they will need and plan routes for their broadband deployments. This help includes identifying permit requirements early, initiating pre-application coordination with permitting agencies, and avoiding environmental impacts. https://lnkd.in/esyDAFUs --- #ftth #fibertothehome #infrastructure #broadband #network #fibernetworks #fibernetwork #fiberoptic #telecom
