📢 FEAD has participated to the call for evidence on the Social Climate Fund! 📍FEAD highlights that the negative connotation of waste incineration under the Taxonomy Regulation is inconsistent with other EU legislation and Commission Communications. 📍The 'do no significant harm' (DNSH) principle is a powerful tool to drive investments towards the green transition, and FEAD is fully committed to the EU climate goals. 📍However, given the significant impact of the DNSH principle on directing financial flows in the EU, its interpretation and application must be carefully assessed and justified.

In a new paper to International Maritime Organization #MEPC81 WSC outlines the four cornerstones critical for effective global climate regulations. 🇺🇳 - Setting GHG Fuel Intensity Standards Upfront to Provide Investment Confidence and a Clear Pathway to 2050. ✅ - Establishing an Effective Economic Measure or GHG Price to Incentivise Investment. 🛢 - Enabling the Transition with Vessel Pooling. 🚢 - Building in Full Life Cycle Transparency to Deliver Climate Results. 🌱 “The challenge for member states at IMO is not just to agree, but to agree on regulations that will provide investment certainty. If we can get this right from the beginning, we will speed the energy transition and make it more affordable by avoiding stranded investments,” says WSC CEO John Butler.

Passionate about helping others to "do more with less" - visit my store for FREE 840 PAGE BOOK on energy and resource efficiency.
This is biased post from someone who makes money out of carbon markets Rich Gilmore 1. SBTs are about companies achieving net zero. Scope 3 requirements are challenging and require organisations to speak to their suppliers and customers about emissions reductions, and change the source of their supplies if needed. A cheap "get out of jail free", "nothing burger" of offsets will arrest that vital engagement and undermine decarbonisation. 2. The 1.5C and 2C pathways assume we BOTH reach net zero in corporate emissions AND we restore/enhance carbon sinks. Its madness to sell "offsets" to allow companies to avoid the former to support the latter. 3. Voluntary Carbon Markers are a) insignificant just 144 million tonnes out of our 40 Gigaton emissions, $2bn compared to $1trn for the regulated markets b) involve high intermediation costs with lots of the money staying with developers, traders and speculators c) the financial incentives lead to corruption and the selection of projects based on profit not priority 4. Companies like P&G are already using vast quantities of "nature based" solutions to "greenwash" at an industrial scale - linking offsets to SBTi would legitimise this. So Science Based Targets initiative need to hold out against this snakeoil. Just in case folks think I am being overly negative, I do recognize the importance of funding for mitigation and adaptation in poorer countries. But the private markets is not the way to raise the funds - we need to to have a carbon tax (whether on consumption or production is open to debate) and we can deploy those funds much more effectively through multilateral bodies - for example the World Food Program spends 7x the entire voluntary carbon markets each year, $14.1bn in complex, on-the-ground operations in very difficult locations with high levels of scrutiny and donor oversight. Those 10 nations that Rich Gilmore cites shouldn't have to go to the voluntary carbon markets caps in hand to beg a few scraps for their ecosystem and adaptation programs. They should be paid for this fair and square by polluters through programs they help design. We can start by diverting the $1 trillion in direct subsidies paid to oil and gas companies. We can put a levy on large corporates like P&G who are not acting responsibly. We need to get back to the basics. Offsets are wrong - they are currently used as "permits to pollute" trading for a few $s each when we know that a minimum carbon price to drive change needs to be $100 and upwards. Offsets starve the oxygen from energy-efficiency, supply-chain engagement, investments in on-site renewables and business process changes. I know because I have encountered businesses choosing to "greenwash" rather than act. SBTi are to be applauded for recognizing this and only allowing a very small residual offset percentage once all other actions have been taken. Its essential that we resist corporate capture of SBTi by vested interests like the offsetting industry.
Someday soon - next month in fact - the Board of Trustees of the Science Based Targets initiative has to pick a side. They have to choose whether to be on the side of the pragmatic solutions that can accelerate climate action now. The side supported by the nations of the Global South, 10 of whom recently wrote to the SBTi desperately calling for them to unlock the income, clean energy security, clean air and healthy forests that carbon credits can provide to their 120 million vulnerable citizens. The side that includes carbon offsetting as a complementary tool in the #everythingeverywhereallatonce toolbox the UN has called for. Or, they have to choose to be on the side of the 14 named signatories of a recent letter to the SBTi decrying such a move. Learned, respected folks no doubt, safely ensconced in western Europe and far removed - economically, socially and physically - from the consequences of their letter writing. Both sides care deeply about the climate. So does SBTi *really* have to choose between them? Perhaps they don't. The SBTi could simply make the Solomonic choice. One that should satisfy all: allow companies to use offsets to meet their Scope 3 emissions targets, but cap their use at 50% of the target. In my view, they should just decide it, announce it, implement it, and then we can move on to shaming the laggards instead of the leaders.

Sign up for our next Learning Call on Luxembourg’s Climate Assembly and its follow-up! 📅 Thursday, September 21, 2023 ⏰ 15:00-16:30 CET The Klima-Biergerrot (KBR) – the Luxembourg climate citizens’ assembly – was commissioned in 2022 with the explicit intention of influencing the revision of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), a draft of which has recently been submitted by the government to the European Commission. KNOCA has waited until this point to organise a learning call as this was the first climate assembly that was so clearly tied to a specific policy making process. The KBR itself faced a number of challenges in fulfilling its task but its tight link to the policy process means that the opportunities for direct impact on the NECP are high. In this learning call, we will bring together Jeff Feller, Chief of Staff for the Prime Minister who is responsible for leading the government response to the KBR, Tom Girardin, one of the organisers of the assembly, Marion Lorentz-Gottardi, a member of the KBR and Raphaël Kies from the University of Luxembourg who leads the research team that has followed the process.
