This roll out of various environmental derivatives should be interesting against the SBTI current position. Regardless of the SBTI position, it appears a market remains and has some interest.

Today, the Queensland Government introduced legislation on coal royalties that has serious consequences for the resources sector.   It is disappointing the government is using our state’s most important export sector for political games and again, has not consulted with industry.   It will only make Queensland less competitive when it comes to attracting investment in new resources projects that will drive our state’s economic prosperity.   Its impact will not just be on future coal investment, but on all Queensland commodities including critical minerals.   All political parties need to think beyond the October election and make the right decisions that will keep Queensland strong.   Read our full statement here – https://lnkd.in/gy-Sjjin #QRC #Queensland #Qld #Government #Coal #Royalty #Tax #Legislation

An excellent article today on the ongoing attempts to deprive hydrocarbon companies of financing and investment from Gina Pappano of Invest Now: https://lnkd.in/eUXZYQC8 The terrible Senate Bill S-243 -- The Climate Aligned Finance Act, inspired, and perhaps even partially written, by environmental activists is not the only Senate bill undermining the Canadian economy. Another one, Bill S-285 was introduced by Senator Miville Dechene (a former CBC Radio Canada journalist and Quebec's representative to UNESCO) in May that proposes to alter through legislation the purpose of a corporation. The bill states: "This enactment amends the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) to provide that a corporation’s purpose is to pursue its best interests while also operating in a manner that (a) benefits the wider society and the environment in a manner proportionate to its size and the nature of its operations; and (b) minimizes any harm that the corporation causes to the wider society and the environment, with the objective of eliminating such harm." This effectively means that a corporation under the CBCA will have to prioritize the environment over all else. Notably, the other Senate bill (S-243) not only applies to financial institutions, it also applies to corporations under the CBCA. Between these two bills, corporations will a) have to appoint a "climate expert" to boards; b) corporations may not appoint to the board a person who has worked or lobbied for a hydrocarbon company in the past 7 years (this seems to absurdly imply that a hydrocarbon company cannot have a board member who has worked for a hydrocarbon company or receives income from it!); c) climate commitments and the environment must be prioritized over all else; d) impact on or "harm" of the environment must be eliminated. What is going on in Canada that so much legislation being proposed, in both the Senate and in the House of Commons, is clearly antithetical to a free market, free enterprise, free movement of capital economic structure that Canada is supposed to embody? Canada is being nudged onto a trajectory that historically has resulted in much suffering.
