On International Women's Day, I'd like to celebrate the inspirational work of the Self-Employed Women's Association in India with some lines written after a visit last year to learn from its climate & just transition strategy. Thanks to Reema Nanavaty & Mansi Shah @SEWABharat
#COP28 is "the beginning of the end" of the fossil fuel era says @UNFCCC's @simonstiell We now need to transform finance to enable the Global South to x3 renewables, x2 efficiency & transition away from coal, oil & gas in a "just, orderly & equitable" way @GRI_LSE @CarbonBubble
#COP28 needed to signal a hard stop to fossil fuels and their planet-burning pollution. We didn’t turn the page on the #fossilfuel era, but this is clearly the beginning of the end. We must get on with the job of putting the Paris Agreement fully to work.
Will #COP28 be the moment when the #JustTransition is put at the heart of climate action? Ministers gave clear leadership at the 1st High Level Roundtable & now we need an ambitious Work Programme agreed to drive delivery My roundtable presentation is here bit.ly/47JGuhR

A rethink of finance is required to make climate action fair for all. This means real action from finance ministries, MDBs, banks & investors, with a big focus on increasing the quality & quantity of #justtransition finance to the Global South. Read how: bit.ly/45E6Tw9
A heat pump installed in the UK today will emit 77-86% fewer carbon emissions than a gas boiler. My analysis of heat pump lifecycle carbon savings made it into this letter to the @newscientist. newscientist.com/letter/mg25834…
This #EarthDay, I urge everyone to raise your voices & demand that leaders make peace with nature. Let's all do our part to protect our common home for the sake of people & planet right now & for the generations to come.
"Culturally, my roots lie in Hinduism and in Islam, but they also are nourished by Christian values and Buddhist ideals. I am not willing to give up any part of myself." Nandita Haksar shares a message on communal harmony: scroll.in/article/104756…
In India's #G20 year, there's been a flurry of sustainable finance announcements, pointing to the potential for transformational deals to mobilise the trillions the country needs for #netzero & #SDGs. My thoughts here: bit.ly/3xs3oKj @g20org @TandonSuranjali @k9neha

Hats off to #India for its inaugural $1bn #green sovereign bond in its #G20India year. Two good things to see: 1) India raised capital with a lower interest rate for green 2) it will report on social co-benefits in clean energy & transport where possible bit.ly/3jdfPGk

Scotland's #JustTransition Commission has today released a powerful set of recommendations on how urgent climate action can deliver a better deal for workers & tackle inequalities at every level. Proud to be one of the 16 Commissioners & hoping it will inspire action @scotgov
Today a new report from Scotland’s Just Transition Commission sets out key strategic priorities for @scotgov to: 🔋deliver #NetZero 💰renew 🏴 economy 💪 redress widening inequalities READ: gov.scot/publications/m…
The @IEA has made clear that "no new oil & natural gas fields are needed in the #NetZero pathway" - so the UK Government's decision to give the green light for new oil & gas exploration in #Surrey is a major step backwards & needs to be reversed bit.ly/3H5WzC9
