Worthy interview by Gary Taylor with Hon. Simon Watts who replete with corporate sound bites would benefit from a far more comprehensive and globally aligned scientific understanding of what #NaturebasedSolutions are and how they can apply in the NZ context i.e NbS are far more than '...leveraging the biodiversity opportunities in NZ's conservation estate..(21.19) ' and thinking that 'river banks in place [need to be] reasonable...by creating the right degree of tension...(20.54)'. Oy vey.

The Second Climate Change and Development Conference, themed "Building Resilience, Securing the Future"Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga has launched four strategic documents: the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS), the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Implementation Plan, the Climate Investment Framework, and the Green Resilient Recovery Strategy. These documents aim to align national efforts with global climate commitments and facilitate strategic planning and investment opportunities.

With global attention on climate-related issues remaining center-stage, proactive climate mitigation and adaptation efforts are a key focus for driving real value. Our recently released Responsible Investment Report highlights how we integrate material climate considerations into our corporate operations and investment processes including active participation in climate initiatives and thought leadership.

The Promise and Pitfalls of Climate Policy Amid an intensifying climate crisis, the need and ability to deploy clean, sustainable, and affordable energy solutions is increasingly urgent. But are the current policy frameworks and incentives working, and what technologies pathways are capable of making material, near-term impacts? On February 22nd, join Foreign Policy and Florida International University for a timely discussion and debate on the technologies and climate policies capable of driving impact at scale.

“Rather than being a barrier to participation, governments around the world must ensure that their policy environment enables private sector action and ambition when it comes to climate adaptation and resilience. The question is: What can the public and private sector do to make these changes?” asks Jorge Gastelumendi in his new piece for the Atlantic Council. As New York Climate Week continues, this is one of the most important conversations. The world is falling short of its climate finance goals, and it’s clear that the private sector must become a more effective partner to take on these dangerous and growing climate impacts. But so, too, must the public sector work to address financial systems to ensure that they are fit for purpose and enable private sector action. To learn how we can begin to take this on, read the New Atlanticist today. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4enm3dZ

The climate policy paradigm has moved from a doom-and-gloom view, where economic growth isn't possible, to a more constructive model in which growth and a sustainable environment can coexist. The focus of climate policy has expanded to include not only the costs of the energy transition but also opportunities for innovation and growth: https://ow.ly/Zxmz50R1rRI
