A groundbreaking global deal just landed to cut emissions from shipping This makes shipping the first global sector with a regulated pathway to net zero, but key aspects of the agreement fall short of what is needed to drive rapid action in the near term #IMO #MEPC83 #ClimateAction

Important to highlight to progress being made in some countries Portugal will likely source more than 90% of its power from domestic renewables by 2030, a milestone that’ll be shared by the likes of Denmark and Chile 👏👏 via Progress Playbook theprogressplaybook.com/2025/01/06/p...

This is so wrong - banks aren't passive players in the economy, they have the potential to drastically shift financial flows. They need to use their power to help drive the phase out of fossil fuels and move us to 100% renewable energy Quote via Bloomberg Green ESG Investing
