Planet Tracker’s Post

2024 has seen continued efforts in #climateaction. Throughout the year, #Ecosperity convened players across sectors and industries to drive discussions and foster collaboration for concerted action. At our flagship event, Ecosperity Week, leaders and experts identified pathways for a just transition, discussed approaches to accelerate and scale #decarbonisation, and addressed strategies to close the climate financing gap.     These discussions continued through our Ecosperity Conversations series which includes “Driving Asia’s Transition to Green Transportation: Opportunities for Investment and Impact” as well as two sessions on energy transition and climate finance at #COP29. The exchange of insights was further bolstered by reports like the Southeast Asia's Green Economy 2024 Report and Powering an affordable EV revolution in emerging Asia report, which shone a spotlight on investible opportunities that can bring the region closer to its climate goals.   As the new year approaches, keep watching this space as we take stock of Asia’s progress toward its 2030 decarbonisation goals and identify strategic areas for systems-level change that the region requires to carve a viable pathway to 2030. Join the conversation. https://lnkd.in/gS6Sp73d

"NET ZERO TRIO" compellingly and timely explores the critical pathways to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon technologies in the global fight against climate change. The book's strength lies in its comprehensive approach, which addresses three key pillars essential for a successful transition to a green economy. The book thoroughly analyzes the cutting-edge low-carbon technologies available today and offers practical solutions for their widespread implementation. This technical insight is particularly valuable for policymakers, industry leaders, and environmentalists seeking tangible ways to reduce carbon emissions. A standout feature of the book is its emphasis on the crucial role of policy and regulatory mechanisms. The book convincingly argues that the right governmental frameworks are not just beneficial but essential to driving the adoption of these technologies at the scale and pace required to meet our climate goals. Perhaps most importantly, "NET ZERO TRIO" underscores the necessity of global cooperation in tackling climate change. The book makes a strong case for international collaboration, highlighting how shared knowledge, resources, and commitments can accelerate progress towards a sustainable future. The book also shines a spotlight on the pivotal role of the private sector in this green transition. They offer insightful strategies for businesses to not only adapt to but thrive in a low-carbon economy. While the book covers complex topics, it remains accessible to a wide audience, from policy wonks to concerned citizens. Its clear structure and well-researched content make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the multifaceted approach required to achieve net-zero emissions. "NET ZERO TRIO" is a timely and important contribution to the climate change discourse. It offers a roadmap for action that is both ambitious and achievable, making it essential reading for those committed to building a sustainable future. A big Thank you to Labanya Prakash Jena, CFA, SCR Prasad Ashok Thakur for the wonderful work. A must-read for all the sustainability enthusiasts #sustainability #greeneconomy

✔ Just completed "Net Zero 101: What, Why, and How" 🌱🌏 Proud to have deepened my understanding of the urgent need for net zero emissions and the steps we can take to achieve it. This course has provided valuable insights into the science behind climate change, the importance of reducing our carbon footprint, and actionable strategies for individuals and organizations to contribute to a sustainable future. As we work towards a greener tomorrow, it's clear that every effort counts. Excited to apply these learnings in future projects and collaborations. #UNCCLearnAlumni United Nations University UN University – Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability

Watch this space! On #EarthDay, Monday 22nd April, the Net Zero Tracker will be releasing its latest analysis, comparing on the net zero commitments of the world’s largest private companies, with their publicly-listed counterparts. Reflecting on a flurry of recent climate regulation introduced in regions from the US, to EU, UK and Singapore, we delve into the extent to which both public and private firms are preparing for ‘whole economy’ decarbonisation, through target-setting. The latest NZT analysis builds on our earlier study, ‘Everybody’s Business: The Net Zero Blind Spot’ released in October 2022 study. As reported by Simon Jessop, Reuters, - Just 32 of the 100 biggest private firms had set targets to reach net-zero carbon emissions, compared with 69 of the 100 largest public companies.  Have targets improved in the last 18 months? Find out on Monday.

Bridgewater's latest research insight discusses that about half the technologies needed to get to net zero are in a mature state, the other half still needs massive financing to become viable and scalable. That financing is lacking. → "Do We Have the Technologies Necessary to Reduce Global Emissions?" "Achieving the world’s ambitious climate goals will require rapidly scaling economically viable technologies, while also innovating, incentivizing, and investing in less mature technologies that are not yet cost-competitive." https://lnkd.in/e8egQ6p6 Bridgewater Associates

Strong collaborations, game-changing ideas, and inspiring decisions result from well-conducted conversations. So here I am, anticipating a fruitful conversation with institutional leads in my network seeking to build international collaborations concerning climate change. Thanks Bee Gan, for a long inspiring conversation – It’s always amazing to see your commitment to raising climate impact awareness and supporting SMEs in adopting green technology. With the UK aiming for its 68% carbon reduction strategy by 2030, it's crucial for industries to take action, reduce their carbon footprint, and equip the next generation to move away from carbon-intensive practices. Let's work together toward a greener future. #ClimateImpact #UKNetZero2050 #GreenTech #SMEsGoGreen #Sustainability

The Summit also includes a climate solutions showcase from climate tech startups and scale-ups along with established businesses. Register now to drive meaningful change together.

Proud to share that I have completed the "Net Zero 101: What Why and How" course offered by the "United Nations Institute For The Advanced Study of Sustainability"(UNU-IAS). This program deepened my understanding of the critical need for net-zero emissions and equipped me with actionable strategies to contribute to a sustainable future. It simplified difficult climate science terminology and provided practical recommendations for contributing to climate action. Throughout the course, it gives an understanding of what net zero means and its significance, as well as knowledge of the environmental, social, and economic consequences of climate change, and what insights into actionable steps we can take as responsible citizens to achieve a net zero society. 🌍 #NetZero101 #ClimateChange #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability #SustainableDevelopment #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateAction #UNStudies
