Oil and gas companies say they’re going green. Yesterday I looked through some of their accounts to see if it’s true.

In the first half of this year, 4 companies made £74.4bn and reinvested £3.4bn in low carbon energy. On average, that’s equivalent to 5% of their profits.

Interviews with nine Russians living overseas - as well as their wealth managers, lawyers, tax advisers, real estate and art brokers - suggest that Western sanctions meant to punish Putin's inner circle are also broadly ensnaring Russian passport holders. https://t.co/u4zNTT6ulp

But as the example of UniCredit shows, change can happen quickly when management makes a "fundamental change in culture" a priority. With @TomSims_Reuters, @Za_lentina, @JessopReuters, @JessAguado1

A quick walk around my neighborhood in Kyiv and everyone is buying water, dragging suitcases, and checking updates on their phones.

If continued throughout this century, this would lead to warming of 2.7C, slightly less than the 3C UNEP forecast in its last report. A 30% cut is needed to limit warming to 2C, and a 55% cut is needed to limit to 1.5C 4/5
