Oklahoma can offer cheap, renewable power to produce green crypto coins — made in America.

The summits of the Destroyers-in-Chief — Simone Lovera on Climate & Capital Media We must resist the corporate takeover of the U.N.’s food, biodiversity and climate agenda. The U.S. is back. Back in the Paris Agreement, and back to faithfully promoting the interests of destructive industries and their allies at the global level under the guise of environmentalism. On Earth Day – a day that is increasingly co-opted by corporations – President Biden hosted a “Leaders’ Summit on the Climate.” But who are these “leaders?” The Biden administration’s dubious definition is clear from the fact that a key initiative announced at the summit was a bilateral agreement between Biden and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. The deal would include significant financial support for Brazil’s “efforts” to reduce illegal deforestation. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/the-summits-of-the-destroyers-in-chief/

The UNFCCC gender action plan was introduced 5 years ago at COP21 in Paris (when this picture was taken, will be interesting to see the same picture for COP26 in Nov. 2021). It has been slow going... support provided for addressing Gender (and youth and indigenous people) action is still very minor in climate change. My company addresses it at the implementation level in countries (not leadership level) through our climate change work with the UN system and other development agencies, who are spearheading this. BUT, my guess is that less than 10% of the funds are spent on this issue. Mainly because it is not high on the priority list for most developing countries. How do we change that???

Can Congress translate Biden’s climate ambitions into law? https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/can-congress-translate-bidens-climate-ambitions-into-law/ With a new president in the White House and a fresh sense of urgency to head off climate disaster, the stage is set for legislation that drives the effort forward. Can American lawmakers rise to the challenge? This blog will track their progress — from symbolic bills lobbed over the transom to serious nuts-and-bolts legislation hammered out in Congressional committees and sometimes obscure rule changes that matter — and capture the ebb and flow of climate discourse inside the beltway. A must read for investors trying to sort out Washington’s fast-changing regulatory landscape. Kari Huus on Climate & Capital Media

COVID-19 devastated the oil market, but it was just a taste of what is in store for the industry. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/post-pandemic-just-how-crude-will-oils-future-be --- For the global oil industry, the COVID crisis offered a crystal ball-like peek into its future. The view wasn’t pretty. Demand for oil, which has marched relentlessly higher for a century, suddenly plummeted to unprecedented lows. Had the problem been the global pandemic alone, the industry would almost certainly have put on its usual brave face. Oil titans are, if nothing else, expert managers of travail — whether wars, embargos, environmental mishaps, natural disasters or political upheaval. But it was more than that. The Covid outbreak came amid an epochal transition away from fossil fuels, and it looked less like industry’s newest challenge to conquer than a vision of the future, a vision of relentlessly falling demand for oil and gas. Oil majors, consultants and multilateral institutions now agree that “peak oil” is just over the horizon. British oil major BP recently laid out two scenarios, one where demand has already peaked and the other with the peak coming in 2025. Consultants Rystad Energy recently echoed this time frame while McKinsey & Co. and Norway’s state energy powerhouse Equinor ASA, are among those predicting a peak by the end of the decade. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) argues — and most certainly holds out hope — for a considerably longer timeline, but even they are conceding it will come by 2040...

Sir Attenborough, looking out for our Blue Marble, as always :) Now he has raised his well-known voice against Seafloor Mining I posted about previously Fauna & Flora International (FFI), an organization in which he serves as a vice-president, has published a detailed study on risks and impacts of deep-sea mining on this strange and largely unknown ecosystem. Here is his foreword: "The depths of our oceans remain largely unexplored, but humankind’s first tentative ventures into the blue abyss have revealed a hidden world full of wonders, where life thrives under great barometric pressure and far from the light of the sun. The fact that life exists at all in such unforgiving conditions, drawing energy from the chemicals expelled from the earth’s core and locking away carbon from our atmosphere, is one of the world’s uncelebrated marvels. What is more, we are now beginning to appreciate the extent to which life in the deep sea also affects the health of the planetary systems on which we all depend. The fate of the deep sea and the fate of our planet are intimately intertwined. That we should be considering the destruction of these places and the multitude of species they support – before we have even understood them and the role they play in the health of our planet – is beyond reason. This report by Fauna & Flora International highlights crucial evidence about the importance of the deep sea for the global climate and the proper functioning of ocean habitats. The rush to mine this pristine and unexplored environment risks creating terrible impacts that cannot be reversed. We need to be guided by science when faced with decisions of such great environmental consequence." You can find the entire study here (pdf) https://cms.fauna-flora.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/FFI_2020_The-risks-impacts-deep-seabed-mining_Report.pdf

Surging demand for cryptocurrencies and accelerating adoption of blockchain-based solutions have highlighted a critical issue: the technology's growing energy consumption and its impact on our climate. That’s why we’re working collaboratively with the crypto industry—including all blockchains—to transition to 100% renewables. Crypto Climate Accord is an fantastic iniative.

This is greenwashing. The amount of renewable energy is not infinite. Cryptocurrency is competing for the energy with other, many would argue, more important services. What’s really needed in crypto industry is an order of magnitude change in energy consumption per transaction.

Peter Gill Case of BankFWD chats with global climate editor Blair Palese about climate action in the banking sector. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/time-to-take-it-to-the-banks It’s almost shareholder season in the U.S., and green investors are watching how fast companies are moving on climate change — and whether their commitments are credible. That makes it the perfect time to catch up with sustainable architect and developer Peter Case of BankFWD over a beer. (At least, a metaphorical beer. The weekend was behind us, so we drank water.) Peter, who lives in Providence, Rhode Island, is a trustee of the Rockefeller Family Fund and co-founder of the Equation Campaign that supports the climate change movement and the clean energy transition. He is also vice-chair of the Rhode Island Energy Efficiency and Resource Management Council and has been involved in establishing BankFWD since its launch almost two years ago.

Is Paris burning? Why banks have sunk $4 trillion into fossil fuels since treaty — https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/paris-is-burning-why-banks-continue-to-sink-capital-into-fossil-fuels Despite Paris Agreement commitments, global banks have dropped $4 trillion into the fossil fuel industry. Editor’s note: Both Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and the author and board member Andre Carothers, have been at the forefront of the environmental and now climate movements. RAN has grown from early grassroots awareness-raising efforts to rocking the worlds of finance and energy — as it did today with its investigative report on continued bank lending to the fossil fuel industry. Despite a pandemic, plunging oil prices, growing regulatory and shareholder scrutiny, and public pledges to the carbon reduction of the Paris Agreement, global banks continued to finance fossil fuels at the tune of $750 billion last year. Who better, we thought, to put the report into proper context than Andre?

Peter Fusaro: Unearthing new climate opportunities https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/peter-fusaro-unearthing-new-climate-opportunities/ A discussion of what to watch in the climate economy with Peter Fusaro, founder of the Wall Street Green Summit and partner at AV Group. Climate&Capital’s Leadership Interviews is an ongoing series of in-depth discussions with a wide range of leaders in the climate economy. It explores the nuance and tension in leading bold transformations — of individuals, organizations and markets — at the intersection of climate and capital. We hope these conversations give you food for thought and spark discussion as you lead in the climate age. We’re looking forward to hearing from you. (Twitter: @davidcgarrison) Twenty years ago, Peter Fusaro, a partner at AV Group, hosted the first Wall Street Green Summit. Lively debates and the introduction of cutting-edge topics still make the annual gathering, taking place virtually April 26-30 this year, de rigueur for investors and entrepreneurs in sustainable investment. Fusaro, one of Wall Street’s best-known climate evangelists, holds forth on new climate technologies and the markets we aren’t paying enough attention to. Having spent time in government early in his career working on complex problems like lead phase-downs in gasoline, he draws hope from the nascent changes he sees in the “big dogs” — major emitters of carbon, like mining. Climate & Capital publisher David Garrison spoke by phone with Fusaro at his home in New York City. This is an edited transcript. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/peter-fusaro-unearthing-new-climate-opportunities/

As COP26 approaches, all eyes are on Scotland https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/as-cop26-approaches-all-eyes-are-on-scotland/ COP26 is Scotland’s time to shine as a breakout climate leader. BY MILO MCBRIDE AND BILL SPINDLE While the COP24 summit in Katowice, Poland was both sponsored and physically surrounded by coal industry, the upcoming Glasgow climate summit has the potential for the host to lead by example. Scotland will soon reach its goal of a 100% renewable energy grid, a truly unprecedented achievement even by European standards. As of 2010, only a quarter of the nation’s grid was run by renewables, illustrating an unprecedented, meteoric rise of green growth in just a decade. Today, more than half of Scottish energy generation comes from onshore wind, with offshore wind and hydro making up the rest of the renewable mix. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/as-cop26-approaches-all-eyes-are-on-scotland
