Congratulations to PM Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor on a historic win. Blessed with both natural wind and solar resources, Australia’s economic future in a net-zero world is positive and their leadership critical for global climate goals.

It was great to see the International Maritime Organization achieve an important step in establishing a legally binding framework to reduce GHG emissions from ships globally with the IMO Net-Zero Framework last month. Under the draft regulations, ships will be required to comply with: 1. Global fuel

While buildings account for ~1/3 of global emissions, it's possible to decarbonise the sector via electrification, efficiency & smart building design. I discuss this & more on a new episode of The Infrastructure Podcast with Antony Oliver. Listen here: infrastructure-podcast.com/episode-113---…

The European Commission’s Steel and Metals Action Plan published in March marks a critical step toward safeguarding the competitiveness and accelerating the decarbonisation of Europe’s steel sector. The plan rightly highlights key areas for action: 1. Market protection – addressing

Great to discuss key pathways to reduce GHG emissions in the buildings sector last week in Spain at an excellent event organised by Alianza Q-Cero, COAM & Green Building Council España. As outlined in @etc_energy’s analysis published this year, the major priorities are: 1. Electrification

Exciting news to see growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s CO2 emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth. Crucial issue is whether the peak has now passed and how rapidly emissions now fall. Take a look at Carbon Brief’s analysis:


Despite America’s Paris pullout, carbon pricing is gaining ground with breakthroughs in hard-to-abate sectors from International Maritime Organization's carbon levy on shipping to European Commission's strengthened CBAM.

Just published today: Energy Transitions Commission has responded to Science Based Targets initiative’ draft update of Corporate Net-Zero Standard with a briefing note clarifying the role of carbon credits in scaling carbon dioxide removals and achieving corporate net-zero targets.

Amidst growing concerns over concentrated supply chains & perceptions that CBAMs are protectionist Energy Transitions Commission’s new briefing note highlights how technology progress & carbon pricing can accelerate the global energy transition. Read it here: energy-transitions.org/publications/g…
