What if companies disclosed climate risk the same way insurers analyze it: with event-based probabilistic models that show what could happen, when, and with what likelihood?

We are on the ground, ready to help the countries affected by wildfires.

Through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, countries are deploying their firefighters, helicopters, and airplanes, alongside the EU's own rescEU firefighting fleet, working hand-in-hand with local teams to fight the flames.

Delays in connecting to the electrical grid are a huge drag on the clean energy transition to solar and wind (aka interconnection queues). Congrats to CSL Fellow @kathrynchelminski.bsky.social on publishing her important new study on dealing with this challenge. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Proud of my former postdoc @kathrynchelminski.bsky.social for publishing on the U.S. interconnection queue, a niche but massively important topic for the green energy transition. 🌍🔌💡♻️

A thoughtful blog post from our Legal Fellow, Sam Hudgens, regarding recent developments in insurance markets in Hawaii, Colorado, and New Mexico related to catastrophic risk.

As we confront recurring floods & fires, it's time to rethink risk.

"Privatising climate risks may backfire as people may resent bearing the costs of the collective failure to address the climate crisis...And privatising these risks spells trouble for public entities." 360info.org/burned-out-h...

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Germany's Central Bank warned officials had previously “completely underestimated” the risks rising temperatures pose to the financial system.

Nations like Vanuatu are at the heart of this

Tim and I have been reading & talking about BRICS over the last few weeks. What is this group of countries really about? Not so much an anti-western or an anti-dollar bloc; these days it’s more a “remaking of the material basis of a new sovereignty, in a new era of globalization.”

Geothermal energy has lots of potential but still supplies less than 1% of the world's electricity.

Why are we not using more of it?

In this week's podcast we speak to Dr Marit Brommer, Head of the International Geothermal Association. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/0rn0...

Next-generation #geothermal technologies could become a vital part of #California’s clean energy portfolio – if there is a coordinated effort to reduce permitting barriers and modernize regulations.

"If a state gets hit by a hurricane or other extreme weather, 'the governor should be able to handle it,' Mr. Trump said. 'And frankly, if they can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor.'

So sorry hear this, Jeff. Truly terrible news

Even in years with record-breaking fire seasons, overall fire occurrence in North American forests remains below historical levels, but fire severity has increased, contributing to greater forest loss and heightened risk. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Quaise is taking millimeter wave drilling out of the lab and in to the real world.

Why does it matter?

Millimeter wave drilling can unlock greater depths to access high temperature geothermal energy.

The privatization of public lands would be an atrocity

On SHIFT KEY, we talk about the ~200 people you've probably never heard of but directly regulate ~1% of US GDP & a big chunk of your pocket book: public utility regulators. Who they are, why they're important and why we need to pay more attention to what they're up to. Wherever you get your podcasts
