I’m pleased to share that I’ll be speaking at New Statesman’s Energy and Climate Change conference on 14th May on a panel about how we can reduce the risks associated with climate change. We all know the effects are already being felt across the world, but as a society we haven’t yet grasped the critical role that nature can play in both slowing climate change and helping us adapt to it. From wetlands protecting communities from flooding to restored peatlands locking carbon in the ground, this is central to the work we do here at the RSPB.   There have been recent news articles pitching concerns about nature as some kind of battle against policies supporting our drive to reach net zero, to develop renewable energy projects and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.   The truth is that climate change is one of the greatest threats to our natural world and we must accelerate our actions to reduce our reliance on oil and gas. And development and nature absolutely need not always be in conflict. Rather than either/or, we need both. A strategic approach that ensures nature is considered from the outset can avoid the worst impacts and maximise the gains. But a failure to take what we call a ‘nature positive’ approach is full of risk, builds delay into the process and almost guarantees outcomes which are less satisfactory for people and the economy and damaging for the planet.  Nature recovery needs to be targeted alongside climate and net zero in policies from all parties as we move towards a general election. Nature must have a voice and we will continue to push to ensure it is heard. The New Statesman event is free to attend for the public and the third sector, so please do come along and join the discussion: https://lnkd.in/ebdeGcgE #ClimateChange #Energy #Nature

What is Just Stop Oil's position on balancing the triple crisis of supply, price, and climate? Hear from Grahame Buss, as he speaks alongside the Green Alliance and Offshore Energies UK at International Energy Week. This session covers essential topics, including: 🌎 Building country resilience to respond to climate change and future disruptions in energy supply 🛣️ Commonalities and differences between developed and developing countries' pathways 📝 Options for policy change and reform to support countries during the volatile energy transition 💡 What collaborative models can more quickly mobilise resources for developing countries?

This is promising to be a highlight session at #InternationalEnergyWeek

In the recent debate, Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz emphasized record U.S. oil and gas production under the Biden administration while promoting clean energy growth. Meanwhile, JD Vance raised doubts about climate science. Both avoided discussing the need to reduce fossil fuel use. This shift in messaging reflects a delicate balance between energy demands and clean energy investments. #EnergyPolicy #ClimateChange #OilAndGas

The $9tn Question: How to Finance the Green Transition 🌍💰 The stakes are sky-high. To curb average global temperature increases in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, climate finance needs a massive boost—escalating to about $9tn annually by 2030, a steep rise from the $1.3tn reported in 2021-22 Climate Policy Initiative. The urgency has only intensified since nearly 200 countries committed last year to phase out fossil fuels by 2050. Alongside this, they agreed to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. The International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Agency forecasts that the public sector must contribute approximately 30% of the necessary global climate finance, with the remaining 70% expected from the private sector. What's Next for the #GreenTransition? 🌱🔋 Could the future lie in smarter regulations, increased public-private partnerships, or expanded concessional finance?
