July 30th is Earth Overshoot Day, the exact date when humanity's global demand on nature officially exceeds what Earth's ecosystems can regenerate in a 2026. We must rapidly deploy proven and commercially viable solutions which can reverse this trend: overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/power-of-pos...

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, & then make it much worse with bad design.

Data from June 19, when the daily high was 106 degrees, shows asphalt across the city that day was between 120 and 160 degrees.

Happy Earth Day!
Global map (Equal Earth Projection) showing surface temperature changes (based on linear trends from 1970 to 2024) from GISTEMP. Color bar is even (blues to reds) from -5 to 5ºC. Map is all red (except for a few spots in the southern ocean, and is more red over land, and most red in the Arctic region, which has warmed by more than 4ºC. Title: "Since the First Earth Day, the planet has warmed 1.1ºC". Subtitle: "(That's 2.0ºF or about a fifth of an ice age)".

⏩Politics affect the speed of change, but not the ultimate direction. This is one of six key priorities in the Competing in the Age of Disruption report. Download your copy: ow.ly/G1Hk50VBzO0 Below, read what business leaders have taken from the report. #TransformingMarkets
Quote from Mike Barry: "'Big ESG' has offered the chimera of progress, become a comfort blanket to cling to for unloved sustainability professionals and spawned a lucrative network of alliances, think tanks, research, standards setting and consultants who can make a comfortable living off of it. We cannot call on companies to transform radically without calling on the ESG 'service sector' to disrupt itself as profoundly."Quote from Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera: "It is in the interests of business to act now to accelerate transition. Not only will this help them to manage risk but also gain early-mover advantage - setting future standards and influencing policy direction and capital flows. By 2035 sustainable industries will likely be dominant forces in global markets."Quote from Munish Datta: "Industrial transformation is underway - inevitable, apolitical, and driven by the unyielding forces of climate, innovation, and economics. This report outlines a clear pathway for leaders to harness sustainability as a competitive lever, delivering lasting value for stakeholders and shareholders."

If ‘Greenlash’ (backlash against environmental policies) is the ‘2024 year in a word’ then ‘Greenforce’ may be the word of 2025 as climate consequences & unrelenting economic shifts disrupt lives, assets and markets, and forces political, economic and public volition. www.ft.com/content/0f72...
