The first ever International Day of Clean Energy takes place today. teamtechnik is already 100 % powered by green electricity. 💚🔌 Thanks to the photovoltaic systems on our roofs, we were able to generate around 450 000 kwh of clean energy last year, all by ourselves. As stated in our climate policy, we are committed to contributing to achieving the 1.5 °C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement. With this in mind, we have set ourselves ambitious goals, which we aim to achieve by 2030: _ 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at our site _ 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in our upstream and downstream supply chains, when compared with the base year 2019 The International Day of Clean Energy was declared as a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of humankind and the planet. #teamtechnik #weliveautomation

📣 We kick off this afternoon all together for a joint session on Knowledge Pieces!     What’s on our agenda?     🔍 Understanding the purpose and approach behind our knowledge pieces. 📚 A presentation from the Academic Sounding Board on:  1️⃣ Sustainable Renewable Energy   2️⃣ Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Climate Adaptation    🗣️ Engaging all together in a discussion on the scope, priorities, and needs for the upcoming Knowledge Pieces.     Stay tuned for today’s concluding remarks!    #C4T #CohesionPolicy #SustainabilityTransitions #BestPractices 

NEW: @USDA’s recently released #GrowingClimateSolutions Act Report recognizes the potential for America’s #agriculture producers and forest owners to be leaders in #conservation, #innovation, and emissions reduction.

U.S. cities are working to center equity in their climate and #CleanEnergy priorities, but how are they doing in translating ambitions for equitable outcomes into specific policies and programs? Find out in @ACEEEdc’s 2024 City Clean Energy Scorecard! https://lnkd.in/eaYZfBvV

Today, as we celebrate the power and potential of light, let's also reflect on its significance in the context of climate change. Light-based technologies, such as solar energy, play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by offering sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. At 10 Billion Solutions, we're committed to harnessing the power of light and other natural energies to combat climate change and build a more sustainable future. From solar panels to energy-efficient lighting solutions, we're dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy sources. On this Day of Light, let's raise awareness about the importance of adopting clean energy solutions and embracing the natural resources available to us. Together, we can illuminate the path towards a greener, more sustainable world. Join us in shining a light on the International Day of Light and its connection to climate change!

Countries around the globe need to rapidly transition to low-carbon energy sources, expand electrification, improve #energyefficiency, and invest heavily in new sustainable infrastructure to achieve critical climate and sustainable development goals. Although there is increasing progress in some countries, with the affordability and installed capacity of wind and solar energy growing exponentially in the last decade, the scale and speed of the transition required over the coming decades is many times higher. This report developed in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund discusses the urgent need for rapid transformation of our global energy system to mitigate climate change and ensure a livable future. https://lnkd.in/epa8GTQH Arian Saffari, PhD Sarah Lichtblau, Paulina Ponce de Leon Barido, and Thomas Baker #BCGOnEnergy #EnergyTransition #LowCarbonEconomy

Join the conversation on the future of sustainable energy! Hear Marshall Cherry & Wes Kelley discuss the impact of the EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund award on Southeastern communities. #RuralResilience is more than just a term; it's a revolution! 🌍☀️ Join us on this journey 👉 https://lnkd.in/g-6EtXX7 #SolarForAll #SustainableFuture

It's one thing for a retailer to assist it's long term partners to drive towards their sustainability and corporate social responsibility goals. However it's another thing to take a strong position in the market and lead the way forward using a true metric to support the uptake of additional renewable projects in the NEM. I'd love to hear what you think about Flow Power's newly released impact numbers. Do you think they're valuable and really driving change? #renewables #energytransition #flowpower
