To help prep for the upcoming 8th Annual FNMPC Conference in April 2025, here is some good reading to do just that — The OCA Findings and Report delves into expert knowledge, experiences, and insights collected from the conference this past April. “You’ll likely hear a common thread: Indigenous consent is of value to enhancing our relationships with companies and investors. You will see that prioritizing Indigenous consent really sells itself. There are many success stories, including projects that the First Nations Major Projects Coalition has helped to support our members. We are living proof: if we walk this common path together we will create new ideas and perspectives.” - Sharleen Gale, Board Chair, FNMPC Centered on four central themes: - Indigenous Consent-driven Project Governance and #Policy,  - Critical #Minerals,  - The #Energy Transition, and  - Financing Indigenous Ownership in Major Projects This report speaks to the dynamic role Indigenous nations are taking as Canada’s projects evolve and the future, driven by Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and partnerships.

I'm looking forward to facilitating a day of discussions with EU and Canadian governmental and industry stakeholders about reducing fugitive methane emissions under the banner of OGMP 2.0 in Calgary next week. Sign up: https://lnkd.in/g2NvDpnd Among the morning's speakers will be: • Marc D'Iorio , Assistant Deputy Minister, Science and Technology, ECCC • Giulia Ferrini, OGMP 2.0 Program Manager, IMEO, UNEP • Liz O'Connell, CEO, Arolytics • Allison Fisher, Principal Methane Program Manager & Team Lead, Shell The afternoon focuses on programs that provide funding for methane abatement programs. Fugitive methane emissions abatement is low-hanging fruit, OGMP 2.0 provides a clear pathway to leading practices, and the EU's carbon border adjustment will start penalizing exporters with high emissions in 2026. There's a lot of automation, technology and operational processes that need skilled vendors. If you are a tech or consulting organization in Calgary, consider attending for that reason alone. #methane #climateaction #business #export

This was a moment filled with promise and shared vision, bringing a warm wave of nostalgia and accomplishment. Coincidentally it was the same room and similar moments in year 2016 when GMN was launched. It allowed to reflect on the work and growth of the MTCC's and the journey we've undertaken, reinforcing the lessons learned and the bonds we've built along the way. By working together GMN is fostering collaboration, partnerships, knowledge sharing, and technology uptake, creating a more inclusive technological ecosystem that empowers local maritime stakeholders and accelerates growth. #PowerofPartnerships #CollaboratetoInnovate MTCC Africa @MTCC Asia MTCC Caribbean MTCC Latin America @MTCC Pacific

The just-released advertising about "Cepsa becomes Moeve" using #Dinosaurs farewell reminded me of my keynote presentation at the bSI International Summit – Marrakesh 2024. At the beginning of October, I talked about the challenge of delivering a #global #fair #energy_transition. The joke was about this "Dinosaur" 🦖 in the room. Still, I don't believe in throwing meteors... However, it is time to change, and #digital #openBIM #interoperability is a key element in this #energy_transition.   "Cepsa becomes Moeve" https://lnkd.in/dWPkm_ZW   “bSI The Future” https://lnkd.in/djFvW2QA

Reflections and best practices were shared about investment mobilization, project portfolio management and asset data for decision making in asset management. In the coming months the activities for follow-up in this Water Operator Partnership (#WOP) will be further defined in a context of growing water demand and a lacking production capacity combined with vulnerable water resources, impacted by climate change.

⚡ Insights from CERRE's latest event on Energy Solidarity ⚡     Last week, CERRE hosted a breakfast with Research Fellow Catherine Banet, diving into her latest research on the evolving concept of energy solidarity. The discussion, moderated by Annika Brack, explored the importance of this concept in the context of European energy integration and crisis response.     Banet's insights illuminated the multifaceted layers of energy solidarity, from crisis assistance to fostering integrated European energy systems. The discussion underscored the pivotal role of cross-border infrastructure and deeper market integration in advancing and enforcing energy solidarity.     Looking ahead to the next EU Commission mandate, participants e.g., pointed at optimising trade, streamlining permitting and planning rules to meet collective needs.     For a deeper dive ➡  Catherine Banet’s chapter on “Legal mechanisms to ensure energy solidarity in international and EU law” can be found and read in Cecilia Bailliet (ed.), Research Handbook on International Solidarity Law”, Edward Elgar, April 2024.         #EnergySolidarity #REPowerEU #EuropeanEnergy
