🌱 The Urgent Push Towards Climate Action: Europe's New Measures Against Carbon Emissions 🌍 As the world continues to rely heavily on fossil fuels, the European Union is accelerating its climate action by introducing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Starting January 2026, this groundbreaking carbon tax will level the playing field between imports and domestic products by imposing levies on high-emission industries. 2023 global CO2 levels rose by 1.1% despite ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change, highlighting the need for more stringent measures. The EU's CBAM represents a crucial step in addressing these challenges and promoting eco-friendly alternatives. @TransparenTerra and our expert, Milos Tipsarevic https://lnkd.in/ey4SBSJG, are here to help companies navigate these new regulations. With our climate risk management expertise and carbon calculators, businesses can accurately assess emissions, estimate financial impacts, and prepare for CBAM's full implementation. Partner with us to ensure compliance and avoid double taxation.

🌍 Exciting news from the latest Climate Action Progress Report! 🎉 The EU has successfully reduced its net GHG emissions by 8% in 2023. This is a crucial milestone in the journey toward meeting 2030 Climate Targets, and it shows that progress is on track. 🚀 Here’s what it means: Per capita emissions have been almost halved since their peak. 🌱 The EU has reduced emissions by 37% since 1990, all while growing GDP by an impressive 68%. 💡 This proves that economic growth and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. The EU is leading the way in showing that climate action doesn’t have to come at the expense of economic development.

Greenhouse gas #emissions are shrinking in the Czech Republic faster that in Austria! 🌱🌍🦾 Let's be brave and get into TOP3 in 🇪🇺 soon! Well done 🇨🇿 Minister of Climate Petr Hladík, business leaders, and all gamechangers for being determinated to climate mitigation! 💚 This is the best positive competition we can have! ✌🏽#decarbonization #ESG #greentransition

There is growing optimism in China‘s green transition at a time when it is being asked to take the lead on global climate action as nearly half of experts polled by a climate think tank say the country’s carbon dioxide emissions have already peaked or will do so in 2025. In a survey released Tuesday by the research group Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), 44% of academic and industrial climate experts predict that China’s CO2 emissions will peak no later than 2025. Just 21% of experts responded in the same way in the study conducted last year. #ChinaGreenTransition #ClimateAction #CarbonEmissions #CO2Peak #GlobalClimateLeadership #ClimateOptimism #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #CarbonNeutral #GreenFuture #climatechangeisreal Read on - https://lnkd.in/gMjfGVE7

MEDIA RELEASE: New evidence shows there are too many units in the NZ ETS for the Government to make best use of it to reduce emissions – presenting a high risk that emissions budgets won't be achieved. To address this risk, the Climate Change Commission's latest report advises the Government to reduce NZ ETS auction volumes as soon as possible, says Commission chair Dr Rod Carr. https://lnkd.in/ghDrGt6w #ClimateChange #EmissionsTrading #NZETS

In the face of daunting challenges in achieving current climate goals, the Biden administration has set a new, even more ambitious target. The administration aims for a substantial 61%-66% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2005 levels by 2035, surpassing the previous goal of 50%-52% [which the country likely is not going to meet...]. This commitment is part of the United States' updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement. The task ahead is formidable, especially amidst uncertainties surrounding future federal climate policies. Presently, a significant portion of the US's approximately 17% decrease in GHG emissions from 2005 levels stems from the power sector. However, meeting the heightened targets necessitates a significant acceleration in emission reduction efforts across all sectors. Achieving these objectives is crucial for addressing the climate crisis! #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalGoals

What are the implications of SA’s Climate Change Bill, which sets the stage for a low-carbon economy? With SA accounting for just over 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), making it the world’s 15th largest emitter, where are we heading? In our 2023 Stewardship Report, we include a feature on how SA intends to fight climate change. Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dG7T6vUY #STANLIB #ESG #SustainableInvesting #Impact

The Climate Change Commission has released their advice for on updating NZ ETS unit limits and price control settings for the next five years. "New evidence shows there are too many units in the NZ ETS for the Government to make best use of it to reduce emissions. This excess number of units presents a high risk that #emissions budgets won't be achieved. To address this risk, the Commission advises the Government to reduce NZ ETS auction volumes as soon as possible, Dr Rod Carr says."

EU greenhouse gas emissions fell by 8.3% in 2023 The EU reports the largest annual drop in greenhouse gas emissions in decades. Finally some news that give me hope. We saw a similar decline during Covid, which had me cautious. But this is a real glimmer of hope that economic growth and climate action are not strictly mutually exclusive. However, the road ahead remains long and tricky. Especially, my field, the built environment, has still a lot of homework to do. #BuiltEnvironment #GreenTransition
