In April 2016, I broke the story of Trump and Putin, using Russian open sources. Afterwards, I heard vague intimations that something was awry in the FBI in New York, specifically counter-intelligence and cyber. We now have a suggestion as to why. 0/20

Exhausted and red-eyed flying home from #G20 after the launch of Indonesia JETP https://t.co/PwMPps3QeD a historic $20 billion partnership to expedite Indonesia’s #justenergytransition. What is the #JETP and why is it a big deal? 1/

[John E. Morton @johnemorton]

The Indonesia #JETP will also work with the @ADB_HQ ‘s Energy Transition Mechanism, @WorldBank, and the @CIF_Action Accelerating Coal Transition program to ensure maximum impact. 13/

The transition to a #lowcarbon/#netzero economy is the most consequential economic transition in history. With the passage of the #InflationReductionAct, the US will now lead globally #jobs #innovation. Kudos to all who worked on the Bill. Huge win for #economy #climate #POTUS.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) convened today chaired by ⁦@SecYellen⁩ and released a factsheet highlighting activities & progress across its 15 member entities on climate related financial risk. Worth a read. Continued action. https://t.co/Yu66zrpwgt

[John E. Morton @johnemorton]

Further strong steps from ⁦⁦@USTreasury⁩ (this time from its OFR) to build capabilities around climate related financial risk. Actions follow FSOC’s Oct 2021 report finding that climate represents emerging risk to financial stability. https://t.co/qqoDkkyqET

New report from @ceresnews showing strong progress on our work to address climate related financial risks. At @USTreasury, Secretary Yellen is focused on strengthening the resilience of the US economy & financial system to the impacts of climate change. https://t.co/SGX2elMOw7
