"It's a choice to continue this pattern of destruction" Al Gore calls out real impacts of climate change & possibilities within COP27 delegations grasp; "Africa can be a renewable energy superpower" @algore #COP27 https://t.co/feCtT0d9By

As @unfccc, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs.

Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement.

My signal of change today at the opening of #COP27.

“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”

[Henri Pierre-Jacques @hpierrejacques]

A company that isn’t venture backable, is still financially backable

We’ve created two flaws
1) Young companies are now all called ‘startups’, implying they are tech focused when most aren’t

2) We pushed all young companies towards VC, when most shouldn’t raise venture

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave...
But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Rest in Peace David Trimble.

The sort of #heatwave we are seeing is what science projected climate impacts would look like.

Human-caused #ClimateChange increases average temperatures AND increases likelihood of extreme hot weather - there is a relatively direct relationship with #GlobalWarming

Useful to see realistic admissions on the short term investment impact of economic uncertainty & inflation for #netzero & sustainability at #FTMoralMoney. Underlines how #NetZero transition isn't on/off: needs to be integrated now into long term investment and growth plans.

An inflationary cycle and higher interest rates may cause a temporary blip in ESG investments, but in the long run the necessary investments will be made says Bernie Mensah speaking at #FTMoralMoney
