Research from @doyne_farmer and @f_lafond_ helping to illustrate that one of the most transformative changes in technology over the last few decades has been the massive drop in the cost of clean energy.
If governments reflect existing policy commitments and rapidly falling costs of #cleantechnologies (alongside new proven feasible solutions) in the next round of NDCs, overall ambition could almost triple, and bring the world on a 2°C pathway. #exponential
We have just published our latest insights on #CredibleContributions.
Delivering high-ambition #NDCs that act as clear roadmaps for implementation and investable plans with comprehensive and granular targets will help gov’ts accelerate climate progress.

“There is a tension between the traditional belief that tackling the environmental market failure will be expensive, the knowledge that innovation drives economic growth & competitiveness, & the reality that the decarbonisation challenge is inducing innovation" @MichaelGrubb9
The hub asks (1) which policies accelerate innovation and cost-reduction in clean technologies (2) how can countries use the low carbon transition to drive competitiveness?

The financialisation of higher education, lack of investment into staff and therefore student education has significantly affected my time @ucl. Worse education impacts our collective ability to tackle challenges like the climate crisis. On #feestrike with colleagues @IIPP_UCL.
Announcement: Tuition fee strike! 💥We are students at UCL and have today withheld tuition fees. We call on university students around the UK to do the same. #feestrike 🧵
Where is the overlap between #business opportunity and high impact interventions for #decarbonisation? How can business win by expanding this overlap? See below. Thanks @GSI_Exeter@IIPP_UCL@svenbey https://t.co/RaXS5Pjcgp
