I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe has massively increased its imports of solar panels from China. A sign that this gas crisis might ultimately accelerate Europe’s green transformation. This and more in our new @Bruegel_org dataset https://t.co/vxwYXBNO2n

Some big news for me personally and I'm looking forward to the new challenge. More later once I settle in.

I'll be speaking at New York Climate Week on #zeroemissionsday (Sept 21) & hope you can join me. It's about the carbon handprint (not footprint) & how your business can help your customers lower supply chain emissions.

This is the kind of centre we should be building in Vancouver. A centre of excellence on how to rapidly transition to a low carbon, circular economy. A physical showcase and meeting space for investors, innovators, developers, students and more. Let's make it happen.

Progress, but are we moving fast enough? #ClimateAction #transformation

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan came out this morning. It’s our boldest and most detailed plan yet – and it outlines how we’ll deliver clean air, good jobs, a strong economy, and a better future for Canadians. Find out more: https://t.co/M4T8Dnr3rw

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

🇨🇦 @JustinTrudeau's comments on Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan and Next Steps for Clean Air and a Strong Economy are sounding great so far.

“The days of the big oil lobbyist are over.”

“Climate action unlocks the economy.”

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

Canada’s first-ever emissions reduction plan takes us from policy promises to a roadmap for action, offering a serious plan to reduce Canada’s emissions in line with our updated Paris Agreement targets. https://t.co/2KF7Hwq8gv #cdnpoli #climateaction #oilandgas #EVs #cleaneconomy

[Bryan Buggey @BryanBuggey]

Is there anything more important than clean air? @VanEconomic’s spring #EconomyReport explains why GDP isn’t the only measure of prosperity – air quality, median income & social inclusion are just as key: https://t.co/Owbw5Dq3Or

🎞️ Sneak peek: more familiar faces and our version of Abbey Road, coming soon to a screen near you! #GLOBEForum really knows how to draw a crowd...

[Bryan Buggey @BryanBuggey]

Exactly, @merransmith. Transforming government mechanics and process may be required at all levels. We are not moving fast enough. @greenestcity @VanEconomic

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

There's no way we can meet our 2030 targets if we’re not able to get the policies and regulations in place over the next couple of years. There’s simply no time for us to be on the slow track anymore. https://t.co/DbqVPV3c5R #cdnpoli #bcpoli #bcflooding #climatecrisis

[Bryan Buggey @BryanBuggey]

Yes, the time has come to get serious about developing a hydrogen hub here in greater Vancouver. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussions, presentations and 1-2-1 chats on the possibilities. We can do this and we need to move faster. @Invest_Van @VanEconomic @VMCClimate #cleanbc

[Bruce Ralston @BruceRalston]

Thx @ForesightCAC @invest_canada for inviting me to speak about BC’s #HydrogrenStrategy at the Hydrogen Infrastructure & Investment Program. Accelerating the adoption of hydrogen in B.C. will help us achieve our #CleanBC goals & create jobs & opportunities in the cleantech sector

[Bryan Buggey @BryanBuggey]

Progress.

I spent 30 years of my career getting to this moment. So inspiring to be with the social purpose community over two days as we imagine a world in which the purpose of business is to make the world better, not just better things @TimDraimin @peterweeme

Momentum is building on Social Purpose Business. Check out these proclamations!! @BryanBuggey @georgeprbenson @VanEconomic

[Bryan Buggey @BryanBuggey]

There is still a big gap between procurement policy and practices - and this is a key challenge we need to address if we want to enable the #circulareconomy. Rosemary Cooper of @SRRInitiative will be speaking about this on Thursday at https://t.co/QMpQDJJG5C

Kudos to @yvrairport their new Roadmap to Net Zero Carbon will help them become one of the world's greenest airports, reducing emissions from their operations, replacing fossil fuels with renewable alternatives, and more! 👏
