Carbon offsets occupy a relatively small space on the spectrum of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. But as more countries and companies commit to net-zerocarbon emissions goals, they’re steadily gaining attention from investors as a tool to accelerate carbon reductions.
However, in the necessary drive towards a net-zero-carbon future, the present-day impacts of both insufficient and excess water—droughts and floods more frequent and severe due to climate change—on communities are at risk of being side-lined. Shortages of freshwater around the world and extreme flooding are predicted to increase.
According to a press release about the event, the International Net Zero Local Leadership Summit is being compared to the Paris City Hall Declaration in 2015, which paved the way for the Paris Climate Agreement at COP21. We want to work hand-in-glove with Government to accelerate the drive to Net Zero.”. Comments from local leaders.
The organisers say the decision is even more critical given that COP26, the annual UN hosted national climate summit, is to be postponed until 2021. The decision to postpone COP26 to 2021 was undoubtedly the correct thing to do to allow diplomatic negotiations to take place at a time when they can be given the right level of focus.
In putting forward the restorative approach, Martin Brown draws together all the buzz words and current strands of thinking into a robust framework, from the future of zero-carbon, Passivhaus, well-being and the circular economy, right through to building information modelling or BIM, social media and the fourth industrial revolution.
This year’s COP26 summit is widely viewed as one of the last chances to fulfil the 2015 Paris climate agreement and ensure meaningful progress is made towards tackling our net zero targets and the climate emergency. By Bill Ireland, Logan Energy.
