3/ Inspiring to see tools incentivising companies to strengthen their human rights policies.

But here’s the catch: Voluntary efforts alone aren't enough. Power imbalances between corporations & local communities persist.

4/ Another key takeaway: the interplay between corporate motivation & enabling government policies like carbon pricing.

It’s encouraging to see private-sector reps advocate for regulatory frameworks that drive #Sustainability goals. 🌏 #CarbonPricing #PrivateSectorEngagement

1/ 🌍 With the U.S. slashing 90% of USAID contracts & cutting $60B in global aid, many are asking: Can China fill the void? AidData’s latest policy brief explores China's rising role in global development. 🧵👇 #GlobalDevelopment #ChinaAid #ForeignAid #AidData

1/ 🌍 Can China's Belt and Road Initiative ( #BRI) truly drive structural transformation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)? A recent special issue in the European Journal of Development Research explored this critical question. 🧵👇 #GlobalDevelopment #Infrastructure

5/5 Grateful to all the panellists for enlightening us today. The road to a just transition is complex, but with ongoing dialogue and action, we can push for real change. Let's keep the momentum going! 🌍 #RenewableEnergy #CSERA #UNCC #Bangkok

1/5 🌿 Today at the @undp.org -hosted Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Rights in Asia conference, we delved into "From Risk to Resilience: Embedding Human Rights in Asia's Just Transition." A diverse panel explored human rights in the context of energy transition. #JustTransition #CSERA

🌊 This #InternationalDayOfActionForRivers, let's reflect on ASEAN's 41 transboundary rivers & the need for inclusive governance.

Without community participation, river management risks being unjust & unsustainable. How can we ensure #FPIC & protect #OurRiversOurFuture?

14 years after the Fukushima disaster, nuclear power "remains" a decarbonization tool—but at what cost?

- $0.18/kWh for nuclear vs $0.05–$0.06/kWh for wind/solar
- Massive cost overruns: Flamanville-3 (4x), Olkiluoto-3 (3x)
- Heavy reliance on gov’t subsidies & guarantees

🌍 Is China’s coal phase-out a turning point for global climate leadership—or just symbolic?

In 2021, China pledged to end overseas coal investments, signalling hope for #GlobalEnergyTransition. But challenges in policy implementation & reliance by host countries raise questions.

Just watched "Four Trails" 🎥 - a documentary that captures the unexpected turns of life through Hong Kong's stunning trails. Incredible scenery & tales of resilience! A must-see that I hope goes international. 🌍 #HongKongCinema #Documentary #Inspiration #Trailblazing #FourTrails
