Backsliding on U.S.
The new report indicates that the speed with which cleantechnologies and decarbonization of the power sector are scaled up is crucial. Thanks to the combined impacts of clean power, EVs and energy efficiency, emissions in 2050 in the ETS are half what they would otherwise be without these technologies, or down 27% from current levels.
Along with setting goals for sales and profits, many companies will be reviewing their sustainability strategies and measuring the progress they’ve made toward hitting 2030 targets tied to the ParisAgreement on limiting carbon emissions.
The UK’s latest nationally determined contribution (NDC), along with the anticipated launch of the UK Industrial Strategy in the spring, should provide the platform for greater business funding to support these goals, and for finance to be structured around specific targets, such as investments in cleantechnology or energy-efficient buildings.
There has been a shift recently: more and more countries are working on Article 6 of the ParisAgreement, specifically on making sure that they have the necessary plans, capabilities, and instruments in place to attract the potential investments that market-based mechanisms under Article 6 can provide.

The Biden administration has made climate action a key focus, beginning with the return of the U.S.

President Biden announced nearly $2.9 Addressing climate change has been a significant focus for the Biden Administration, starting with the return of the U.S.
Progress was made across these short-, mid-, and long-term measures in 2021: In the environmental sustainability space, Keysight committed to net zero emissions in company operations by the end of fiscal year 2040, in alignment with the ParisAgreement's preferred goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Climate policy response by governments and investment in cleantechnologies must be accelerated to keep temperature rise near 1.5°C, C in the ParisAgreement; with only 3% of global policies currently moving towards the 1.5°C C, according to industry experts speaking at Morningstar’s ‘ Sustainable Investing Summit 2023 ’.
To speed up the switch from coal, oil and gas to cleaner energies, and protect and restore nature, countries must submit ambitious and investible national climate plans which are called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the ParisAgreement. C as pledged under the ParisAgreement.
Although prevailing wisdom holds that time is running out, BloombergNEF’s New Energy Outlook 2024 seemingly shows how the world could still achieve the major goal of the ParisAgreement – holding global warming to well below 2°C and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change – and what it would take to get there.
Companies, mostly after the 2015 ParisAgreement, have increasingly jumped into decarbonization and committed to carbon neutrality before 2050. To start with, companies embedding carbon neutrality are catalysing the development of new cleantechnologies. In particular, in order to limit global warming to 1.5
While this spike isnt a breach of the ParisAgreement limit, which is set against a 10-year average, it represents a red flag that the consequences of inaction are no longer theoretical and that every fraction of a degree matters. Political noise has been drowning out scientific clarity, and yet, the Earth is burning hotter.

For example, Bristol City Leap – Bristol Council’s energy investment programme – is planning £7 million worth of public investment in decarbonising the city.
It will target companies that are well-positioned for the transition to a low-carbon economy and aligned with the goals of the ParisAgreement. The fund will also invest in companies with revenues aligned with the UN SDGs relating to health, decent work, clean energy, climate action, and responsible consumption and production. “Our

This cannot continue if we are realistically going to achieve the goals of the ParisAgreement and keep global warming below 1.5 ° C. Canada needs to adopt a package of financial regulations that will drive down carbon emissions and shift billions of dollars toward investing in cleantechnology and renewable energy.
Additionally, not only will the transition costs abate over time, but the economic transformation also creates significant opportunities for Canada to become a market leader, particularly if we embrace and lead in cleantechnology areas, such as hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. . How to close the gap.
Financial institutions should be legally required to align their activities with the goals of the ParisAgreement ahead of next year’s COP30, a senior UN figure said during London’s Climate Action Week.
