BREAKING: Standard Chartered joins the Powering Past Coal Alliance at #COP29 today. As one of the early movers in financing early retirement of coal power plants, the bank will work closely with the PPCA to boost these efforts globally. poweringpastcoal.org/news/uganda-an…
Happy Energy Day #COP29. Kicking off with @PastCoal Solutions Dialogue. Congrats PPCA on fostering global dialogues and exchanges this year and the refresh of the Finance Principles. Welcome @StanChart & @GovUganda 2024 also marks the end of coal in 🇬🇧 #coaltoclean @KerryMP
This sounds a bit ‘geeky’ but it’s easier to unlock finance for more climate-resilient infrastructure (roads, power stations) if we expend effort to understand the physical risks that alternatives face. #COP29
💰@JagjeetSareen, @AmaleeAmin, @remco_fischer, @JohnMurton & @ramrajn discuss methodologies and tools during the session on 'Unlocking finance for resilient infrastructure by enabling better climate physical risk assessment'.
Never sure whether to marvel at late hangers-on flowers in my November garden or worry about the changing climate… I don’t remember roses in November when I was younger!
Love this system. Want one at my local station/supermarket/leisure centre…..
This is so cool and solar at its best. On a car park, put up in hours, relieving pressure on the grid and cutting fuel costs and improving convenience. Wonder if it has smart functionality to charge from grid when it’s cheap at night? @Everyth1ngElec youtu.be/RGLvxGAE66I?si…
The latest @Waymo California driverless ride stats are out from @californiapuc In August 2023: 12,000 for the month. In August 2024: 312,000 for the month.
Utiel, Valencia in Spain today... 😳 This is not normal
Headline... "Going green cost more than they bargained for" Facts: 1. It was a schedule 30mins wrong (poss hardware issue) 2. THE TOTAL COST DIFFERENCE WAS £1.47 and refunded immediately 3. In 3 months, total cost £100 vs £300 on std tariff 4. IT'S 6x CHEAPER THAN PETROL
London is just unrivalled in Autumn. She’s not cut out for the sweaty heat. She’s ill-suited to the wet and the cold. But those precious few crunchy, bright, golden weeks - she’s just the prettiest city in the world
Last month saw the largest number of EVs ever sold in the UK EV sales in 2024 so far are over 13% higher than at the same stage in 2023 What slump??
The ongoing slump in EVs could lead to higher lease costs, the industry has warned autocar.co.uk/car-news/compa…
Margaret Thatcher in 1989 at @UN: ‘…the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equal response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out.’ Just a gentle reminder to any @Conservatives aspiring to take on her mantle
EVs set to get cheaper and cheaper…..
Stunning: China's 2024 cost of battery cells is more than 40% lower than the 2023 global average was. This is the price of battery cells, not battery packs. The pace of battery cost reduction and innovation is stunning. EVs are coming fast and hard for oil burners.
Three years ago I planted a little pear tree in my garden. Poor thing is getting terribly confused! #springinseptember #climatechange.
NEW | Global solar installation continue to surge in 2024 ☀️ The world is on track to add a record 593 GW of solar power this year – a 29% increase over a major step up in installations in 2023. A thread 🧵 on the latest @EmberClimate report by @EuanGraham9 and me
This is worth a look 👇🏼. We all need to do more, but I’m proud to see that @StanChart came out best-in-class for tackling #adaptation.
Our latest innovative research shows 88% of the top global banks are failing to adequately address climate adaptation risks. 🌍 Download the full report, for free, at bit.ly/3znNuVW #adaptation #climateadaptation

After years and years of media reports that coal is having a comeback in the UK the last coal plant will go offline in just 2 weeks. Coal in the UK is no more. Credit for graph to @KetanJ0
Remarkable chart from @BloombergNEF's EV Outlook: EVs are covering significantly more ground on average than combustion vehicles in almost every country. The US is a notable exception for now.
Momentous: The UK, home to the world’s first coal power station in 1882, will stop using coal to generate electricity this month, the 1st G7 country to do so Coal supplied 80% of UK electricity in 1990. Remember: they said it couldn't be done ft.com/content/516418… #climate
