.@ALoganCeres: "deepened engagement efforts have brought companies to recognize the imperative to plan for change." Can we read 'deepened engagement' to mean #forcefulstewardship? Because 'tea & biscuit engagement' won't tackle #climatechange in time. https://t.co/W9g62v0Xv9

S/hs working on US utility emissions brought a knife to a gunfight, delaying action in a dirty sector. @CeresNews #climate

[PreventableSurprises @PreventableS]

S/hs filed 86 climate resolutions at US utilities and withdrew 33 in 5 years. How effective is the file-withdraw-file strategy in transitioning to clean energy?

Does progress on 2-degree scenario resolutions = progress on rapid emissions reduction? We're a bit skeptical. @SouthernCompany #climate

[David Murray @DavidMurrayPS]

We can't afford to let major energy utilities get away with spinning 2DS plans as if they are marketing brochures justifying business as usual investments. Time for #forcefulstewardship on #climatechange https://t.co/7Gl6OO323c

Official announcement still to come, but it looks like we have our first oil & gas company to establish a strategy not to grow fossil fuel production. The company is #Repsol. https://t.co/2xigGHqhdP

Here's @CarolineLucas calling out the brazen arrogant willful blindness of uk government on investment in nuclear. Maybe a Paris refresher course for May et al..??! #climatechange https://t.co/7g4crwp45U

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

This is absolutely outrageous. The government is planning to plough billions of pounds of taxpayers money into failing nuclear without any transparency or scrutiny. I'm calling for an urgent debate on this in Parliament. https://t.co/9h5xXQ8jca

"We won’t solve climate change unless we get a much better grip on the corporate capture of politicians/regulators".

What do you think? https://t.co/gttRsYlM06

[ACCR @AustCCR]

Our @brynnobrien in the @FT, on @RioTinto's decision to prevent a vote on lobbying across the dual listing:

"Lobbying that obstructs climate policy is a serious risk to investors everywhere. European shareholders are right to be concerned.”

Another nail in the coffin for the case for nuclear power .... https://t.co/Y6BS99hZYP

@AIGCC_update Great sign of climate leadership. What next for China? Rapid transition to net zero emissions from energy utilities would be a bold statement of intent #climatechange

[Asia Investor Group on Climate Change @AIGCC_update]

The transition to clean transport is well under way in China: 100% new taxis and 9/10 new govt cars electric https://t.co/KG3OK9Wh3R

.@Adobe smart move joining #RE100. Even smarter: check w/ your hired investment mngr on how it votes your proxies at coal-fired utilities. Time to align your portfolios w/ your principles or face #strandedassets.

[PreventableSurprises @PreventableS]

.@abinbev congrats on your #RE100 commitment. Now about your asset manager. How is it voting your proxies? In support of carbon-intensive utilities? Kinda defeats the purpose. Maybe it's time for a chat.

[PreventableSurprises @PreventableS]

.@marsglobal congrats on your #RE100 commitment. Sweet. Now, about your asset manager. If it's voting your proxies in support of utilities that are fighting clean energy, you've lost the plot. It's time to use your leverage to cut emissions.

[PreventableSurprises @PreventableS]

.@TataMotors congrats on driving the #RE100 revolution. Now about your asset manager. Is it voting your proxies to undermine the clean energy transition? If so, it's time for a talk with them about stranded assets. https://t.co/c1HE2bCmkc
