Focused on Sustainability, climate finance designing transformative programs and financial solutions to address the climate challenge Views are my own.
@antonioguterres You forgot all we can do on forest conservation, forest restoration, foster & promote bioeconomy to keep forests standing, climate smart livestock and agriculture ... This is also relevant and that adds to increasing livelihoods, protecting and benefiting from biodiversity etc
Finally, @FundoAmazonia is 100% operational again! Yesterday the Guidance Committee (COFA) met for the first time in 4 years and the Fund is again open for new projects.Yet another sign that #Brazil is back, with policies, institutions and efforts to rapidly reduce #deforestation
We just updated our global temperature dataset to not only include more polar region data, but also go back to 1850 (was 1880 previously).
Here's the entire monthly run through from January 1850 to January 2023 #StateOfClimate
"When we protect these forests, we fuel the Amazon’s ability to maintain itself, while also powering the planet’s most effective natural engine for storing carbon. We have the tools to reverse this trajectory.” – Will Turner, @ConservationOrg climate scientist
How to measure the negative impact of loans and investments on #biodiversity?

Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.
A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.
Palladium's asset management business, @BambooCP, is calling for grant applications to help promote #solar products in #Haiti through the Off Grid Electricity Fund. Applications for catalytic grants of up to $100,000 are due 23 May! Learn more: https://t.co/RPUPYQPwRS #OGEF
Our celebration for forests continues! 🌴
Corporate leadership plays a crucial role in #climate mitigation strategies. "There will be no climate solution without forest protection." - Werner Bauman, CEO of #LEAFCoalition participant @Bayer#IntlForestDay
Despite covering <10% of earth's land surface, tropical forests support at least 2/3 of the planet's #biodiversity.
Protecting tropical forests protects the #wildlife essential to our ecosystem's health. Today, we celebrate wildlife. Happy #WorldWildlifeDay

“For evidence to be useful, it must be used. This statement is hardly controversial, and yet, it is surprisingly common for state-of-the-art research to waste away in online archives.”
BREAKING: At #COP26 Kevin Conrad/CfRN reportedly trying to blow up a strong Art 6 deal out of pique and self-interest, after his bid to have unverified carbon credits from his private-label program automatically included as ITMOs was widely opposed including by forest countries.
Art 6 is the Paris Agreement’s engine of int’l cooperation, enabling countries to work together to achieve faster, deeper cuts in GHGs. But markets are only a force for good when there are guardrails to ensure environmental & social integrity. That’s why this is so crucial.

Today, @SecYellen convened leaders of several of the multilateral development banks (MDBs) to discuss ways the MDBs can rapidly align their portfolios with the Paris Agreement & redouble efforts to mobilize significantly more private capital for climate.
