Cities are complex ecosystems, shaped by diverse ideas & actors—from urban planners to environmentalists, economists to community voices. Collaborative thinking fuels sustainable development, as highlighted by Mr. Anton Cartwright. #UrbanInnovation #SustainableCities

Gathering wishes and hopes for the new year......I don't think this is too much to ask for. https://t.co/9eiYmEMfHu

Yeah, it’s a bit hot, but it’s summer. Let’s keep drilling for new oil. Who cares about about our kids and their kids’ future anyway?

"We have mortgaged our most precious moral compass, for which many millions suffered for way too many decades" important context (some of it lived experience) and damning conclusion from @brankobrkic https://t.co/FeMkj1hRSD

When our website host contacted me out of the blue I assumed it related to an unpaid bill. Instead @xneeloHosting offered to put together some home-town footage and aired @CredibleCarbon's ambition and purpose at a time when carbon markets are in need of both.

South African firefighters learned their craft protecting people living in fire-dependent biomes such as fynbos. As large parts of the world become hotter and drier, this is a valuable and exportable skill. #indigenousknowledge #newclimateeconomy

[Made In Canada @MadelnCanada]

200+ South African firefighters landed in Edmonton, Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire. 🇿🇦🇨🇦

Applause for global carbon market growth from "covering" 7% of all emissions to 23% in a decade. Now time to focus this market on actually cutting emissions and building the low carbon, inclusive economies, nature enhancing economy we all need. https://t.co/dkkYlCCQMH

LAUNCH | Tonight we see the launch of "Pathways for a Just Urban Transition in South Africa", commissioned by the @WorldBank in partnership with the ACC, & in collab with the National Treasury of South Africa & its Cities Support Programme, & the Presidential Climate Commission.

[Anton Cartwright @EconologicAnt]

The wrong way to 'peak-plateau-decline'. A different approach would see the same CO2 curve driving economic inclusion and growth.

Those against the US$8.5 bn Just Energy Transition Investment argue that SA is being bribed into decarbonizing its power sector. It's happening anyway as coal power stations fail. @Eskom_SA's available coal plant capacity and emissions are already below IRP2019 levels for 2030.

Carbon isn’t just another commodity market https://t.co/rRc5GCPQIP
Interesting, and I think true. GHG reduction is much too layered & complex to be a straight commodity. It remains to be seen if ratings agencies can marshal investment in GHG reduction to where most needed.

[Anton Cartwright @EconologicAnt]

Mark Swilling spells out the consequence of policy incoherence. "There is plenty of funding available for renewables at a very low cost per KWh. There is virtually no funding available for investing in coal... " https://t.co/3rTFGzuiVu

@UrbanAfricaACC @DeJoeQuarcoo @rsdipura @jintyjackson Nice one @DeJoeQuarcoo! At last something to show for the Ghana Urbanisation Think Tank (GUTT) 🤣

A fantastic appointment for the Global South academy, for linkages between the Global South and North and for the trajectory of science and digital innovation for development. Congrats and thanks @EdgarPieterse @UrbanAfricaACC https://t.co/YUpn0JBZCx

@e_transitions Hold this good question/ observation Brenda @_etransitions. The PCC has a report on Just Urban Transitions about to come out 🙏🏼. Should frame the space for the consultation. Metros could cut at least 40% of National CO2.
