En el mundo se han quemado ya en lo que va de año 160 millones de hectáreas de bosque, preámbulo de incendios impulsados por el fenómeno El Niño, en una versión catalogada como súper y que postula a 2026 como un año de calor extremo, advierte @ZerocarbonA https://t.co/EruTO5ngRa

Oceans drive economic growth, climate mitigation and adaptation. But the ocean economy remains underfunded💰🌊

As the #BlueEconomy Finance Forum #BEFF closes, we looked into the status of #OceanFinance, what's needed, and what investors stand to gain.

Plug-in solar: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and UK case

Plug-in solar refers to small, easy-to-install solar panels used for home electricity. They can be plugged directly into a standard outlet to reduce household power consumption.

There is an interesting chart here.
Each line in the chart shows how Google search interest for (plug-in solar) has changed over time in each country.

Germany clearly stands out in plug-in solar adoption, and the reason is simple: policy clarity and incentives. Measures like feed-in tariffs, VAT exemptions, and early regulatory support have created a predictable environment for households. When people know how quickly they can recover their investment, adoption follows, and the data reflects that.

In contrast, countries like France, Italy, and Poland face more complex permitting processes and weaker financial incentives. Without clear pricing for surplus electricity or easy installation rules, consumer interest remains limited. The gap in Google search trends shows this difference in policy support.

⚡ Since the US-Israel invasion of Iran, clean energy ETFs have outperformed oil & gas. $3B flowed into renewable funds in April alone.

New research: if the #Philippines hits its 2030 #solar target, it could avoid PHP 1.7B (USD 28M) in coal & gas import costs - enough to fully fund the Cancer Assistance Fund for vulnerable citizens.

[Point Taken @ThePointTaken]

Some ASEAN countries are using more coal as the Middle East crisis has made natural gas imports more expensive. According to Amy Kong, research analyst of Zero Carbon Analytics, while coal might serve as a temporary buffer, it will not solve the region’s dependence on imported energy sources. @ZerocarbonA

@NOAA puts a 61% chance of #ElNiño forming by May-July 2026. Some models flag it as the strongest in 140 years.

On a warming planet, that's not routine. Crop failures, droughts, floods, disease, across multiple continents at once.

Do massive LNG investments in Malaysia, Philippines, Thaiand, Singapore and Vietnam increase exposure to supply shocks and price volatility?

Indonesia’s LNG investment remains limited
But, Vietnam, Philippines, and Malaysia have the highest LNG investments in absolute terms, while Thailand and Singapore stand out in relative terms.

Vietnam: ~$9.6 billion total, with ~$9 billion still in development
Philippines: ~$5.9 billion, majority under development
Malaysia: ~$4.9 billion, heavily tilted toward future capacity

Some sources suggest that increasing dependence on LNG imports is putting Southeast Asian countries at risk of supply shocks and price volatility. Investing in domestic renewables and the ASEAN power grid can better support energy independence and security

2 countries. 1 crisis. Very different electricity bills.

In the weeks after the #StraitOfHormuz blockade, wholesale power prices in #Italy averaged EUR 142/MWh. In #Spain, EUR 59.

The difference comes down to how much gas each still relies on.

Lifting #Thailand’s 90MW net billing cap could save solar households 77% more on energy bills.

Despite #solar reaching grid parity, policy constraints are stalling progress. Raising the cap is vital to protect consumers from rising tariffs.

#EnergySecurity is economic security. 🌏

For #Fiji, #Vanuatu & #Tonga, rising oil prices from the Middle East conflict could spike Fiji’s fuel bill by $670M. Transitioning to local solar & wind can protect economies.
