Passionate about energy policy in Asia🌊🌏 - What about you? 日本語&中文 background. Current @thecarbontrust, former @JAPANinUK. 'All views are my own' - algorithm💻
🙌Very excited to share my first publication on 'The purpose of policy space for developing and developed countries in a changing global economic system' - published in 'Research in Globalization'.

Summary thread to follow.
Delighted to be attending RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind 2023 conference in London on 14–15 June. I'll be speaking on 'A 'Whole-Systems' Approach To Offshore Wind Skills Development' on Thurs 15, 3pm. See you there!

💡 Fascinating discussions as i try to periodically tune into the #BeyondGrowth. Seems like a real change in pace where enough momentum was reached to have heterodox economics debates front and centre - LOVED IT! See https://t.co/OKwgt8PdKX
WEAll Ambassador @ProfTimJackson sets out a vision of the care economy as a blueprint for the #WellbeingEconomy (and delights the crowd with an unexpected Taylor Swift quote...) #BeyondGrowth
The new Welsh Government Energy Service, a consortium led by @thecarbontrust and @EnergySvgTrust, will help achieve a net zero public sector by 2030 by supporting renewable energy and decarbonisation 👇

For those following the #G7JPN updates, really interesting to read the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers' Communique (https://t.co/dTM8ci9KeZ) with a focus on 22 key joint issues. Will follow actions on #offshorewind, #sustainablevaluechains, and a #JustTransition
The Ministers' Communiqué and other outcome documents were posted on the following meeting page: #G7 Ministers’ Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment Website

A warmer planet will have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on people’s health, knowledge, and skills.
What can we do about it, and how can we drive climate action by investing in people? Join the discussion: https://t.co/3zt3RgFDZP #ReshapingDevelopment
Very proud to have worked on this report intensively for the past 6 months. We look forward to discussing with key stakeholders both internationally and within Japan to drive skills development for #offshorewind.
Offshore wind is key to Japan achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To reach carbon neutrality, action must be taken by decision makers to support the upskilling of the workforce in Japan.
Our report gives recommendations to promote skills development initiatives on #offshorewind.
Excited to be part of the team delivering this new programme with @thecarbontrust that aims to make future offshore wind more sustainable. We started engaging stakeholders in 2021, and just over 1 year later we're ready to officially kick off the programme. Looking forward to it!
💨 We’re excited to announce the Offshore Wind Sustainability Joint Industry Programme, which will be the first industry-backed methodology and guidance to measure and address the emissions associated with #OffshoreWind farms throughout their lifecycle.
@COP27P promises to deliver on the pledges and announcements launched at @COP26 and earlier, under the vision of #TogetherForImplementation.
📢I'll follow up to highlight key mechanisms, plans, or programmes that translate words into action. It's about walking the walk!
Today, at the opening ceremony of the Sharm El-Sheikh Climate Implementation Summit, world leaders, envoys, delegates, & members of civil society came together in a unified front to further mobilize & prioritize the global climate agenda.

Excited to share the impact report by @thecarbontrust. The Carbon Trust defines itself according to its impact on organisations through its support with their net zero journeys. I hope this supports other organisations to report and visualise their impact.

We’re here to close in on #NetZero, so we’re excited to share our impact report. Check it out to learn about our dedicated model, the impact we’ve delivered with our clients, our own #NetZero journey and our commitment to creating an inclusive workplace. #ImpactStrategy
Historically, inflation has been driven by rising wages, government spending and/or more expensive inputs. We are being told that this is the case now, too. This is simply not true. This time around, inflation is being driven by rising corporate profits.

Well fellow beings on planet Earth, we finally f**king made it. A daily reading of CO₂ above 422 ppm in the year 2022 at Mauna Loa in the month of April (4/'22) -- the first such reading in, I don't know, let's say 4.22 million years.
This is not going to end well. Sláinte.
Greta does say it best.
Working in renewables, I do see so many positive initiatives, programmes, and projects coming to fruition. I also see a lot of back-patting and complacency.
With #EarthDay22, let's share what we're working on, what we're doing, and ask our leaders too!
School strike week 192. This is not a “happy earth day”. It never has been. #EarthDay has turned into an opportunity for people in power to post their “love” for the planet, while at the same time destroying it at maximum speed. #PeopleNotProfit#FridaysForFuture#ClimateStrike
I'm often asked how can the youth get more involved in the political decision-making processes around sustainability and climate change. It's great to see the UNGC creating a 'Youth and Innovation Forum'. Key organisations can enable diversity and inclusion in many forms.
Are you a young entrepreneur/innovator/solutionist❔
From 24-26 June, we are organizing the UN Ocean Conference Youth and Innovation Forum with our partners. It's your time to show your #OceanAction🌊 and great ideas!
Don't miss the opportunity: https://t.co/MmYNHnxgsq

While this was expected based on pipeline forecasts, it's quite a breathtaking achievement and should be analysed as to how China was so successful in deploying, installing, and commissioning the farms in a short period of time. A great area for potential collaboration!
Wow – China just built more offshore wind capacity, in 2021 alone, than the rest of the world had managed in the last 5yrs put together
Its 26GW now accounts for half of the world's 54GW total
Also, it added twice as much in 2021 as IEA had forecast in…December 2021
