There have been a number of good reports on IRA impacts over the last year; this one adds new insights on the effects of new RE cost estimates and on proposed EPA power plant rules on gen mix, emissions, costs and other key variables. Try it, you'll like it.

Efficient, sustainable access to key materials is critical to the US #EnergyTransition. A policy brief from Energy Pathways USA offers recommendations for strengthening supply chains for these materials.

Serge Bakire earned an int'l Master of Environmental Policy degree that was a little more international than usual. The program is based in China & Durham, but due to #COVID19 he did his studies mostly from Rwanda

Active trading began on China's emissions trading scheme this past Friday. What does the market mean for climate change now and for the future? Come hear from EDF's Xiaolu Zhao and SinoCarbon's Zhibin Chen in ~1hour: https://t.co/2LHUyULJnX

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

@ling_chen_ My take: a) focus more on process (eg: how to build a strong outline, schedule, how much time will you write per day, etc.) than content especially at the start, and b) use more questions than comments to help the students land on what they're trying to say.

[Nicholas Institute @NichInstitute]

Thoughts on China's climate direction in the @SCMPNews : the power of environmental inspectors, emissions caps in govt planning, and the effectiveness of China’s ETS https://t.co/JLgaybKWHZ #China #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #NetZero #energytwitter #COP26 #climateleaderssummit

5/5 Xi's most tangible statement was that China to strictly control coal now, strictly limit coal growth during the 14FYP (2020-2025), & ramp coal down during the 15FYP (2025-2030). We'll see; the level at which that growth ends and peaking happens is the essential business here.

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

4/5 Xi doubled-down on the importance of common but differentiated commitments b/t developed and developing countries - a division many would like to see erode

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

3/5 Xi reiterated 2030 emissions peaking and 2060 neutrality commitments without going further - will disappoint some but is unsurprising; current commitments were announced only ~7 months ago and were unlikely to change at a US-hosted forum

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

2/5 1) Xi tonally focus on balance and harmony with nature, and the new development philosophies embedded in ecocivilization tenets - no surprise

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

1/5 President Xi just addressed the Leaders Summit on Climate - the first international head of state on the docket - some takeaways to follow: #LeadersClimateSummit #ClimateAction #climate #China #COP26

[Jackson Ewing @JJacksonEwing]

For Asian economies to meet their #netzero climate targets, businesses - both private and state-owned - must drive change. Come hear about what's happening and what's to come from @Caspar Chiquet, Qian Wu, & Rachel Fleishman on March 18(US)/March 19(Asia): https://t.co/QlH0Dzyo7D
