Considering the multi-trillion pound catastrophe that follows the COVID 19 pandemic it would be rational to invest billions to end the wildlife trade, reverse forest loss & secure a sustainable food system. I hope economists will point this out as recovery strategies are adopted.
#CarbonOffsetting is accelerating the transition to #NetZero. Projects in the voluntary carbon market have reduced more than 613MT of CO2 since the 90s.
This number will – and must – keep rising as the world looks to #GrowtoZero

I try not to, I really do, but I can’t help a bit of anger in the direction of the likes of the IEA who spent so very long telling us solar was expensive and wouldn’t take off at any kind of pace. Thank God for early policy support around the world from more far-sighted types.

@GeertNoels Voor climate change deniers lijkt mij dit toch overduidelijk. Er bestaan nog mensen die geloven dat de aarde plat is en die geef je ook geen media-platform. Er maken helaas nog teveel lobbies gebruik van vrije meningsuiting om twijfel te zaaien.
