What keeps us up at night? How about a true rupture in US-Europe alliance? Odds of that are low, especially given that Europe relies even more heavily on the US for defense and energy security since 2022. But the odds are not zero -- and the transatlantic quarrel under a second Trump administration will make previous quarrels (such as Bush-Chirac) look like a joke. In our latest report we answer some of the best client questions we encountered in our recent travels across Europe and North America. (Paywall - https://lnkd.in/gUEWHPba )

Professor of Economic Geography, PhD • Chairholder of the European Chair of Excellence on Circular Economy
In this issue, I talk about Circular Economy with Axel Darut
The European Files published their magazine focused on the priorities of the next European Commission, 2024-2029 with the overarching theme "Strengthening European Sovereignty and Strategic Autonomy". It was a great honour to be invited to contribute to this publication and explore what should be the agenda of the next Commission mandate alongside authors Maroš Šefčovič Jean-Noël Barrot Thierry Breton Michael Gahler Bas Eickhout Emmanuel Lempert Christophe Grudler MEP Houman Ashrafian Nicolás González Casares Hildegard Bentele Sirpa Pietikäinen Sara Matthieu Seán Kelly MEP Jean Hornain Niels Fuglsang Sébastien BOURDIN Jorgo Chatzimarkakis Nelson Lage Axel Darut My piece looks into the future of the EU’s Emissions Trading System (#EUETS), which has emerged as a key economic instrument to advance #technologicaltransformation and provide #climatechange mitigation in the context of the plethora of overlapping existential crises faced by Europe in the early 2020ies. Now is the time to implement the safety net policies which can navigate the massive transformations that will dominate the rest of the decade. One such measure has to be a #carbonfloorprice, which could be designed as an escalating price with a periodic inflation indexation. Establishing a floor price could help us create two separate pools of ETS revenues. One would be the guaranteed revenue, based on the floor price. These funds could be used to make investments across the economy, and as they are guaranteed, we could borrow against the future revenues ahead of time, to fund mitigation and adaptation efforts right now. The second pool of money would be made up of revenues raised when the price is above the floor price. This top-up stream could then be placed in a fund dedicated to de-risking investments for new technologies, creating opportunities for the next generation of European industry to thrive in the global #cleantech race. Thanks to Laurent Ulmann Ulman for publishing this piece and for inviting myself and Cleantech for Europe to contribute to this timely reflection exercise. A great honour to be featured next to such a list of powerhouses. https://lnkd.in/drt7Ep25

It’s day three for #YukonGeoscience and today the agenda is heavily focused on First Nation partnerships. Today is the day for critical conversations from how Chapter 22 is implemented, what economic reconciliation means, how First Nations are positioned to lead the clean energy economy, and how our relationship with land informs all our industry partnerships. We hope today is filled with excellent connection and communication, but most of all we hope today industry shows up to listen. To hear. To Learn. And to become informed how to show up to our partnerships in a good way.

"Harris’s support for the Green New Deal essentially amounts to an endorsement of the transformation of the United States from a free society based on a free market economy to an authoritarian form of government. It is a comprehensive plan for the literal transformation of the entire U.S. economy driven by Soviet-style command-and-control regulations." Sound familiar? The US continues to march in lock step with Canada. "... the simplest way to understand [Kamala] Harris’s philosophy related to energy policy boils down to two things: she wants to ban hydraulic fracturing, and she was so much in favor of the Green New Deal when she signed up to be a co-sponsor of it that she was willing to kill the Senate filibuster to see it enacted. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a safe, mature, well-regulated industrial process first used in the United States in the late 1940s. It is a process that remained non-controversial until, starting around 2000, its deployment for use in developing the massive oil and gas shale formations across the country revitalized a domestic industry that had been largely moribund across two decades. Since that time, as the central technology driving the shale revolution in the U.S., fracking has driven the creation of tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic growth. Across the Great Recession of 2008-2013, the oil and gas industry was essentially the only growth industry in the U.S. economy. Harris not only does not want to acknowledge fracking as a key economic driver, she wants to ban it outright. That is a position that seems likely to haunt her campaign in key oil and gas states like New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan." Courtesy of energy writer David Blackmon
Unburdened by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Will See What Can Be in the Realm of Energy

Harris/Trudeau Share Climate Change Virtue Signaling With No Reduction of Global Emissions: Climate change is a global issue to be solved, not a national political opportunity. If the world's heaviest emitters cannot be convinced to reduce global emissions, what we do in Canada is more political climate change virtue signaling. The fact that our carbon tax contributes to our cost of living is ignored, and worse this revenue is used to finance the "Just Transition" to made in China wind/solar/EVs/heatpumps which the west has let China have a monopoly on and that don't work well at -40 and that are built with coal, children in Africa and Russian oil and gas. Meanhwhile countries like Russia, India and China are working hard through BRICS to sidestep tariffs. So until the US can figure out a way to bring the world's heaviest emitters onside like India, China and Russia no real progress on global emission reduction will be made. Canada is such a climate change patsy in this, while we keep our oil and gas in the ground, the US became the world's largest exporter of oil and gas in the world in 2023, and the dominant supplier of LNG to Europe in 2024, all while Canada rejected both Germany and Japan's requests for LNG! When it comes crunch time re the US economy, Americans will reject the 'green new deal' that Canadians have had no choice on and the CDN economy has suffered from the 'Just Transition"! The best thing CDN can do to help with global emission reduction and to support the CDN economy is to focus on the export of SK uranium, ON CANDU & BC/AB LNG!

📰 NEW PUBLICATION | Europe’s make-or-break moment: Putting economic security at the heart of the EU’s 2024-2029 strategic agenda In this Framing Paper, Georg Emil Riekeles & Paweł Świeboda set the stage for the EPC’s new strategic project on the EU’s #EconomicSecurity. The paper introduce the 4Ps which combined form the Economic Security Matrix: 🔸 PREPARE – Reinforce Europe’s ‘capacity to decide’ and ‘capacity to know’ both on high-level geopolitical parameters and international value chains. 🔸 PROMOTE – Adopt a proactive agenda, doubling down on scale, speed, and directionality to maximise Europe’s value creation and technological potential. 🔸 PROTECT – Reinforce Europe’s protection of critical economic and societal functions and vigorously defend economic and security interests through its own autonomous actions. 🔸 PARTNER – Fight for fundamental international norms and consolidate alliances to build mutual #EconomicSecurity.
