How can we redirect financial flows towards a sustainable, climate-friendly economy?

The policy brief “Financing the green transition”, published as part of a research project by Witten/Herdecke University and the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) – funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) – addresses this question.

Europe must invest big to meet its 2030 climate & industrial goals. A €344B gap looms, with signs of slowing momentum. Strategic autonomy & competitiveness hinge on real, long-term investment. #ClimateInvestment #EU #GreenTransition @I4CE_

World Bicycle Day: How Rome is urging more people to ditch their cars and cycle.

World Bicycle Day, celebrated globally on 3 June, highlights the benefits of using a bike as a sustainable means of transport.

Rome has already made great strides to accommodate cyclists, but there’s still a lot of work to do to improve its infrastructure and better support them.

Umweltdesinformation bekämpfen, aber wie?

Spannende Debatte auf der #rp25:

Jochen Flasbarth, Staatssekretär im BMUKN: Umweltdesinformation ist eines der größten Hindernisse, die dem Gelingen der grünen Transformation im Wege stehen Die Rückkehr zu einem faktenbasierten Klimadiskurs ist eine der größten Aufgaben, vor denen unser Ministerium steht.

Prof Jasmin Riedl: Wir müssen vor die Lage kommen. Das bloße Reden über Desinformationsnarrative reproduziert diese nur. Plattformregulierung und Durchsetzung des DSA sind zentral. Dazu gehört in Deutschland die Stärkung des digital service coordinators.

European #biosolutions can accelerate the #greentransition, but simplified regulation is needed [Advocacy Lab Content]: #Biosolutions are central to Europe’s #greentransition, offering scalable, nature-inspired alternatives to traditional industrial methods. This Special Report takes a closer look. https://www.euractiv.com/section/eet/special_report/european-biosolutions-can-accelerate-the-green-transition-but-simplified-regulation-is-needed/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it

"Meanwhile, companies like Aldi, Everton Football Club, and the National Grid are seeking planning permission from local authorities to turn to Environment Bank with the view to purchase Biodiversity Units, which will enable them to meet the new BNG requirements where it is not possible (or, perhaps, less cost-effective) to restore biodiversity on the new construction site. As the biodiversity of the habitat bank improves, so does the number of Biodiversity Units that the site is worth, meaning that Environment Bank can sell more of them, and the value of the “biodiversity asset” that Gresham House owns increases.

What’s not to like? Everyone makes a buck—or saves a few, in the case of the developers—and flora and fauna, which the over-farmed land hasn’t seen for centuries, return. Unfortunately, things are not so simple. There is every reason to predict that such attempts to render nature initiatives “investable” will be even less successful than they have been at pursuing decarbonization in energy and transport, not just because of the relatively nominal scale of financing efforts in the former vis-a-vis the latter, but also because of the particular uncertainties embedded within them. It is only by looking at the whole picture of climate financing flows—and the other sectors and material demands of the green transition—that we can begin to reckon with the fundamental limitations of our existing climate governance regime, and what alternatives to it might look like."

If you were moved by the massacre of the people of Ghorman, wait until you hear about all the real-life oppression, displacement, violence & massacre still being carried out by our own Imperial Core today to mine so-called #GreenTransition minerals like lithium. Join the rebellion! #Andor

You're a poor country drowning in debt and rising seas, while the rich world lectures you on cutting emissions and hoards the tech and cash to do it.

They want your nickel and cobalt but won’t let you build your own batteries. Their so-called “solutions” are half-measures, more loans, and more control.

The real fix? Cancel the #debt, pay for the damage, and let the #GlobalSouth lead the #GreenTransition—not just supply it.

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.

What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.

Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???

Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?

$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.

Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

It doesn't matter how vehemently or often or long something is said, if it aint so it is not so.

Here somebody with an actual brain and the career path to use that capability, lays it out : AGAIN.

It will not make one Nostalgic Nationalistic Nutjob of Nope2Woke difference, but at least it validates the truth _one_ _more_ _time_.

NOstalgia, It just aint wot it used to be. :)

If heat pumps are part of the necessary green transition, then it is pretty clear the economic model for energy needs t change to make the switch a worthwhile project for households.... certainly they may be greener, but in the UK's economy, still experiencing an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, most households cannot afford to transit to heat pumps in the current market structure(s).

Want to find out how much those #solar panels will likely generate? https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php has a handy calculator. It takes details of the panels, their angle, direction and location. It integrates that with historical weather reports, and gives you a spreadsheet with a daily estimate of how many kWh you can expect on average for each day of the year.
