Together with Tobias Schmidt, @bjarnesteffen.bsky.social & Florian Egli, we studied the internationalization of renewable energy finance — how capital flows between countries to fund large-scale clean energy projects.

There is another really really important thing in this story: fossil companies exaggerate CCS operation by using "installed capacity" rather than 'amount captured'.

🌍 Swiss National Bank (SNB) breaches own rules, Swiss climate law, and recommendations of Network for Greening the Financial System (of which SNB is a member) by accepting high climate-risk collateral assets. Urgent call to align with climate goals and exclude risky assets. #ClimateRisk #SNB
SNB collateral framework ignores climate risk, study finds - Green Central Banking
A recent report found that the Swiss National Bank has been accepting collateral assets that pose a risk to climate change.

Just 11% of the world flew in 2018.
A tiny group of very frequent flyers, 1% of world population, account for 50% of airline emissions.
A French climate expert called for people to be limited to just four flights in their lifetime. 41% said they were in favour.

"if this El Nino peak is as high as we project it will be, global temperature will oscillate about the yellow region... There will be no need to ruminate for 20 years about whether the 1.5°C level has been reached, as IPCC proposes."

September 2023 Temperature Update 🔥
Warmest September & largest anomaly ever measured, shattering previous September record.
Warming since August concentrated in polar regions.
Near certain that 2023 becomes the warmest year.
Likely 2023 exceeds 1.5 °C.

Ich löse auf: Es sind 7 Billionen Dollar Subventionen für fossile Brennstoffe im Jahr 2022 (2 Billionen mehr als 2020), davon 18 Prozent, also 1260 Milliarden, "explizite Subventionen". Bezeichnend, dass sogar sehr klimabewegte Menschen hier in den Replys das dramatisch unterschätzen. Disinfo works.

There can be no *new* oil and gas drilling if we want a safe, habitable world.
Yet, a tiny club of wealthy countries – 🇺🇸US, 🇨🇦Canada, 🇦🇺Australia, 🇳🇴Norway and 🇬🇧the UK – are responsible for *51% of all planned oil and gas field developments* from now to 2050.
That's the real hypocrisy ahead of #COP28
