It’s Day two for Pavegen at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, and we've experienced some unexpected wet weather conditions in the UAE over the past 24 hours. We were expecting warm dry weather to greet us, so this serves as a stark reminder of the impact of climate change on regions like the gulf. It’s a fitting time to be at this important summit. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and build low-carbon cities. At Pavegen, we're proud to play our part in powering change. If you are in the region, then visit us at stand 1801 in Hall 1 to learn about how Pavegen is revolutionizing sustainable energy solutions for the future. Our CEO Laurence Kemball-Cook is speaking with SKY NEWS tomorrow at the event and presenting a case study on low carbon future for cities. Today, he and the team are welcoming conversations about how the region can walk the walk for climate change. Let's work together to create a greener, more resilient world. #WFES2024

What happened at #COP28, and what's next? RIBA President Muyiwa Oki shares key takeaways from our time at COP28 UAE in Dubai ⬇️ Highlights include historic agreements to phase out fossil fuels, triple global renewable energy, and the launch of the Buildings Breakthrough for near-zero emission buildings by 2030: https://ow.ly/MUPB50QjKt3 #RIBAatCOP28 #ClimateAction #SustainableArchitecture

Energy Efficiency for Net Zero Transition 150 days have past since the historical COP28 UAE took place where the unprecedented UAE Concensus was agreed including to “double energy efficiency by 2030”. First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) hosted multiple discussions at COP28 UAE about the importance of energy efficiency and which actions are required. We have captured key points from these discussions in this outcome paper: ⭐️By doubling efficiency progress will cut energy bills by one third and make up 50% of CO2 reductions by 2030 📈💡 ⭐️ There is a big need to bridge the knowledge gap within private sector regarding energy efficiency and foster collaborations between the private and public sectors ⭐️By aligning pricing structures with efficiency incentives, users can be more motivated to adopt energy-efficient solutions. 💰🌿 Furthermore, the UAE's Efficient EARTH initiative serves as a successful example of scaling energy-efficient solutions through financial, technical, and advisory support🌏♻️ #EnergyEfficiency #NetZeroTransition #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #COP28Outcome #EnvironmentalImpact ##sustainability #climatechange #esg #togetherforgreen #togetherforclimate #togetherforaction #cop28

Daily Sustainability News Clipping, 5 Feb 2024 1. Korean Government begins to establish NDC in 2035... Must be submitted to the UN next year The government plans to soon begin work on establishing a national greenhouse gas reduction target (NDC) for 2035, including forming a consultative body of experts and related ministries. To achieve NDC, the Carbon Comprehensive Green Growth Committee will reform the carbon emissions trading system, expand renewable energy, accelerate the supply of eco-friendly vehicles, reduce greenhouse gases through energy efficiency improvement and innovative technology development, improve energy efficiency of old buildings, and use electricity to manage energy demand. He pointed out the need for rate rationalization. To implement the NDC, the Ministry of Environment announced that it will support 127.7 billion won this year for the installation and replacement of reduction facilities such as fuel conversion and will implement a pilot project next year to introduce a carbon balance contract system to induce technological innovation. In addition, the Ministry of Environment. They announced that they would improve the carbon emissions trading system in a way that benefits companies that are active in carbon reduction. https://lnkd.in/gFFbuSpH   2. European Central Bank announces two-year roadmap for green economy transition The European Central Bank (ECB) announced the ‘2024-2025 Climate and Nature Plan’, a roadmap for the transition to a green economy, on the 30th (local time). The roadmap sets out key actions related to the new focus areas. The focus areas were ▲ exploring the transition to a green economy ▲ responding to the increasing physical impacts of climate change ▲ identifying economic and financial risks of nature destruction and biodiversity loss. To explore the transition to a green economy, the ECB said it would undertake activities such as assessing the impact of transition funds on the monetary policy mechanism, assessing green investment needs and analyzing the structural consequences of the transition, and developing a macroeconomic modeling framework. https://lnkd.in/gkfF_wiP   3. Google signs contract to purchase more than 700 MW of clean energy power in Europe Google announced on the 1st that it has signed more than 700 MW of clean energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) across Europe. Through this, Google will provide more than 90% of clean energy in about 85 regions, including the Netherlands, Italy, and Poland, in the next few years. Carbon energy can now be used. Google evaluates this agreement as an important step toward achieving 24/7 CFE Compact by 2030. https://lnkd.in/gqFiTRfK
