📖 In the new round of NDCs that countries must submit by Feb '25, business leaders want to see ambition, strong targets and roadmaps that will triple renewables and phase out fossil fuels, says @DominicGogol of @WMBtweets 👇

🗣️ “Just because the board and sustainability team have signed off on a science-based target, that doesn’t mean that regulatory affairs, tax teams and lobbying firms are on board or have been told,” said our Deputy Director of Policy, @DominicGogol.

As heads of state prepare to meet at the #G20Summit in Rio de Janeiro, they have an opportunity to build on the progress from COP28 and galvanize policy negotiations at COP29 in Baku.

In a statement coordinated by We Mean Business Coalition and #Mission2025, business organizations and leaders from networks connecting more than 38,000 businesses around the world deliver a powerful message to G20 leaders.

At #COP29 in Baku, the spotlight is on lobbying — the efforts by corporations to shape climate policy. While some lobby for less ambitious action, the We Mean Business Coalition calls on world leaders to deliver global finance to drive ambitious, investible and equitable national climate plans that will drive private sector action and unlock investment.

Our #FossilToClean letter called for a phaseout of fossil fuels at COP28 where a historic commitment to a clean energy future was made.

🆕 Brazil's new NDC sends a strong signal to international investors about the country's commitment to a sustainable future ⬇️

Andrew Prag, MD of Policy at @WMBtweets said “In addition to the economy-wide 2035 target, the NDC outlines objectives and tools for implementation in each sector. To ensure the NDC attracts scaled up private sector investment, Brazil will now need to implement these policies and tools. This involves transparent collaboration, robust financial frameworks, and targeted policies that align with global and domestic climate ambitions. Achieving these will position Brazil as a climate leader and a key destination for international climate finance.”

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

This letter from Prof Michael Grubb (@MichaelGrubb9) is well worth a read on the five ways (at least) that markets are loaded against adequate action on climate change:

1) failure to (adequately) price CO2
2) capital mkt failure to appropriately price future
3) oil/gas insvt/sales are in $, facing no currency risk, but renewable invst faces cost of hedging
4) marginal power pricing is a self-hedge for fossil generation, but market-based renewable invst faces price risk (driven by volatile FF!)
5) benefits of cleantech innovation flow to wider economy, not those that spend to generate them
