Delighted to meet @kconstabile, the Director of Decarbonization Strategy at Amazon, on the sidelines of #LCAW2025.
We discussed @amazon's energy transition and potential areas of partnership and synergies with @SEforALLorg.
⚡️🚘BREAKING: For the first time ever, more than half of cars sold in China last month were electric
New-energy vehicles, including EVs and PHEVs, reached a record-high 51.1% of retail sales in July, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association
EVs are already noticably trimming China's oil demand: Just the increase in EVs on the road since last year shaved ~4% off transport fuel demand:

I welcome the decision by the board of @IMFNews to greenlight the rechanneling of Special Drawing Rights to multilateral development banks.
This could immediately unlock up to $80 billion in desperately needed finance for developing countries. Progress!
Happy 70th birthday to my big sister @NOIweala, a rare force and inspiration to us all. We follow in your footsteps of transformative leadership for all people, everywhere.
Together, with my sisters Prime Minister @miaamormottley and @UNCTAD’s @RGrynspan in Barbados for the first-ever @UN Global Supply Chain Forum to accelerate action on the #SDGs.
Production and trade must be just, equitable and sustainable to truly benefit people and planet.
I joined Prime Minister of Barbados and Co-Chair of the SDG Advocates @miaamormottley to amplify the need for a new international financial architecture that serves the peoples’ needs today. #GlobalIGS
We tend to drown in the complexity & our inability to bend the global curve of fossil-fuel emissions. Here is the obvious 1st step to succeed - stop subsidizing oil, gas & coal. 7 trillion USD. Almost 10% of the global economy… Let, at least, clean energy compete on fair terms.
Like @Princeton, Smith College in Massachusetts is embarking on $220-million project to replace their fossil fueled central with an extensive ground source geothermal heat pump system to meet campus heating & cooling needs.

With 5 weeks to #COP28, energy and finance packages expected and negotiations stalled on Loss & Damage, all eyes are on @COP28_UAE to begin to shift the oil and gas industry towards accountability for more ambitious action. My thoughts for @EnergyInstitute#methane
Six main proposals for new shipping GHG targets on deck @IMOHQ this week... China leading charge against as apparently tougher targets in line with 1.5C would undermine UN #climate talks. Work that one out.
An enormous amount of work got us to this place from across leaders in the private sector, finance, civil society and govts. Collaboration fundamental to building the rules for high integrity #VCMs. Urge everyone to use it. #climatefinance#climatejustice
I've been taking a look at electric, infrared wallpaper as an alternative way to heat your home for @BBCBusiness - TV report on Breakfast

With the announcement of our new Frontier permanent CDR purchase round today, I want to remind folks that the detailed project applications we receive from companies (including those we do not select to purchase from) are all publicly available: https://t.co/i19HYBNbpQ
Humanity’s war on nature is ultimately a war on ourselves.
It’s time for the world to adopt a far-reaching biodiversity framework — a true peace pact with nature — and deliver a green, healthy future for all. #COP15
Plug-in vehicles have basically achieved full penetration in Norway, at ~90% sales share, with fully electric vehicles at >80%. That's where California standards want to get a decade from now. 'The future has arrived, it's just not evenly distributed yet'

Does the dash for cash outweigh the need for integrity in VCMs? Junk bonds can exist as long as everyone treats them that way. https://t.co/jR29iW7ySn via @ClimateHome@wearevcmi
