#Sustainability faces headwinds created by Trump’s anti-ESG and anti-renewables rhetoric and policies. But investors are smarter than Trump and - despite their reputation for short-terminism - are putting their money in the #cleantech growth markets

The collapse of the Net Zero Banking Alliance is regrettable. But don’t imagine this is the end of #sustainable #finance.

Question: If you’re a #bank with a healthy profit motive and you see the chart below, what strategic choices will you make?

What is the #Regenerative Economy? Is it a new concept and practice, or just the recycling of existing ideas under a new label (“old wine in new wine skins”, as the biblical parable puts it)? Here is my attempt at an answer

#Wind power has cut £104bn from UK energy costs since 2010

BUT

Perversely, the government regulated price of electricity that the public pays is based on the price of natural gas

We are letting fossil fuels punish us rather than #renewables reward us

Wind power has cut £104bn from UK energy costs since 2010, study finds
Reduction comes from energy generated from windfarms and lower cost of gas owing to lower demand

Good(ish) news! We're bending the #CO2 curve. For the first time, the #UN has predicted a fall of #emissions: 10% by 2035. Of course it falls way short of the 60% needed to stay within 1.5 degrees, but it is a significant milestone nevertheless.

The market cuts through the political posturing, Republican rhetoric and Trump tirades in the U.S. Clean tech companies are just better investments than fossil fuels today. Why? Could it be - going out on a limb here (not) - because they are the FUTURE?

This is what happens when you embrace the open market (used to be a thing, remember?). The UK chose not to impose tariffs on EV imports, unlike the EU and the US. And guess who benefits? The customers. Shocking! Scandalous! 😁

It’s happening folks … not everywhere and not fast enough, but it’s happening

This is a symbolic tipping point when the old dirty Fossil Fuelled Industrial Revolution gives way to the new Clean Renewable Powered Industrial Revolution

A little reminder that America and its MAGA anti #ESG wave is not changing how the rest of the world is #investing

#Japan's $1.8 trillion pension fund is considering a shift into #impact investing, triggering a wider adjustment among the country's money managers.
