🎇 A record-breaking number of local authorities applied to the last European City Facility - EUCF call, including many Covenant signatories. This highlights both the strong commitment of cities to advancing climate neutrality goals and the growing demand for support in funding and financing their transition. 💶 The EUCF grant does not fund direct implementation but supports accessing services and creating robust investment concepts for climate and energy actions. 🤝 The Covenant of Mayors - Europe partners with multiple EU initiatives like EUCF to connect cities and towns with the support they need to bring their commitments to life.

Canada has an ongoing corporate climate governance problem: the common practice of appointing fossil fuel CEOs to become corporate directors creates a very real barrier for institutions in making the difficult decisions required to align with international climate obligations. These dangerous entanglements create the potential for conflicts of interest, lead to inappropriate corporate lobbying, and hold back companies from modernizing in line with the accelerating energy transition.

The failure to recognize the flaws in the EU’s green transition policies is leading to the deindustrialization of Europe. That in turn presents an acute economic and national security threat for Europe.

It’s a shame that #Shell won’t show transparency on its actions of making real terms cuts to pensioners income by refusing to allow discretionary increases when RPI is higher than the scheme minimum payment. After trying to deny that this was an action consistently followed in the past, #Shell finally acknowledged it as fact in response to questions at the AGM. But in doing so, tried to brush the facts aside because this was thirty years ago. Well thirty years ago or not, #Shell paid these increases in six seperate years during that period each time RPI exceeded the scheme minimum. The reason it hasn’t happened since is because RPI has been lower than the scheme minimum since then. So there is clear precedent, yet #Shell under #WaelSawan refused to show transaoatency on why they have refused these increases in the last three years, when they removed them or when they advised #Shell pensioners. So while being very opaque rather than transoatent, the company instead allows our surplus to be spent accelerating a low reliance plan which benefits #Shell rather than the pensioners the fund was established for. https://lnkd.in/egqBUYKX
