🚛🔋 I’m excited to share my latest blog where I dig into the future of commercial #EV trucking. It’s incredible to see how far we have come with advancements in #battery technology, more accessible #charging infrastructure, and strong #policy support driving zero-emission vehicles (#ZEVs) forward. What excites me the most is the potential for real, large-scale change, but the key to making it happen is collaboration. We need all hands on deck—shippers, carriers, policymakers, and tech innovators—to fast-track the deployment of EVs in commercial #fleets. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can work together to overcome the challenges of scaling up EV fleets and accelerate this transition. 🌱 Check out the full blog to see why I’m confident in the bright future of EV trucking: https://lnkd.in/eaAzJ7qw #CleanEnergy #EVTrucking #ZeroEmissions #SustainableTransport #FutureofTransport #Decarbonization

Many leading banks still don’t have effective strategies in place to reduce #methane emissions in the oil and gas sector. This is a serious financial, regulatory, and reputational risk. ⚠️ Nicki Harrison, Sustainable Finance Director at Environmental Defense Fund talked to Lindsey Rogerson at Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence about the findings and the potential for banks to step up on this important topic. Our analysis covers: 👉 Missing methane in financed emissions 👉 How methane fits into banks' 2030 targets 👉 Trends in methane emissions reductions 👉 Why banks should advocate for improved oil and gas methane management …as well as actionable recommendations. It's essential for banks to step up and engage proactively with their clients on this critical issue. 🌍💼 Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/giSqzENS And listen to the Compliance Clarified podcast hosted by Rachel Wolcott 🎧 https://lnkd.in/dmBjq7Y4

It’s no secret that 98% of sustainability teams are stretched thin. In our new blog and panelist discussion video, hear first-hand from former Climate Corps host supervisors on how fellows doubled capacity, addressed critical skills gaps and built the foundation for companies to meet their sustainability goals. Climate Corps fellows have played an integral role in advancing corporate sustainability objectives across industries. Past Climate Corps host supervisors Joaquin Meckler-Pacheco at KKR, Nidhi Nair at Citizen’s Bank and Kathleen Klaniecki, PhD at Chemonics International share how fellows streamlined #GHG reporting processes across value chains, built powerful data management systems and broke new ground by researching disclosure requirements and bolstering regulatory preparedness. It doesn’t stop there though. Over 80 companies have participated in Climate Corps for 5 or more consecutive years, demonstrating the consistent value our fellows bring to teams. 📌 See details about applying for, budgeting and supporting a #ClimateCorps fellow for Summer 2025 in the latest blog by Michael Cronin: https://lnkd.in/gtcXkgqM
