A comprehensive analysis of the transition to renewable energy reveals profound economic benefits that extend far beyond environmental considerations. @samfankhauser.bsky.social 
How are emerging economies leading a renewable-energy revolution?
Renewable energy is booming across emerging economies, where the economic viability of wind and solar power has made them the obvious choice in most national and regional contexts. More importantly, the rapid shift in renewable-energy economics is not only saving developing countries money but could also deliver substantial financial gains in the coming years.

Implementation is the defining theme of COP30 — and this week, sustainable public procurement (SPP) took a major leap forward as countries began turning ambition into action.

Earlier this week, the Brazilian government launched the 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐏𝐀𝐒) on SPP.
