Stay tuned for registration details! ICWS Commissioner: Salima Hebbache Steven If you are interested in contributing or supporting this important discussion, please email icws@eventonesolutions.com Here's a recap of the key takeaways from our esteemed contributors from October: 🎤 The Global Challenge: Dr Carole Nakhle. Carole Nakhle, CEO of Crystol Energy, highlighted a lag in achieving the 2050 climate goals outlined in the UN's "Closing the Gap" report. Despite promises made at COP26, only a fraction of countries have tightened their climate policies. 🎤 A Promising Solution: Doha Zammal, from the Union for the Mediterranean, presented green hydrogen production as a potential technical solution for water conservation, with Spain emerging as a European leader. 🎤 Sustainability's Profit Potential: Pranjal Mathur, Climate Risk Analyst at KPMG UK, shared compelling evidence that investing in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices benefits the planet and is financially rewarding. Green bonds, for example, have seen a significant rise from $500 billion to $4 trillion in just five years. #icws #climaterisk #innovation #energysupply #watermanagement #greenbonds #sustainableinvestments #europe #climateaction #flooding #urbanmangement #heatwaves #cities https://lnkd.in/ekRQTp57

To meet Paris Accord targets, carbon trading records aren't enough. Countries raised a record $104 billion last year through carbon pricing, but prices remain too low to drive changes needed to meet Paris Climate Accord targets, according to The World Bank. Currently, 75 global carbon pricing instruments are in operation, covering around 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The EU's Emissions Trading System is the largest contributor to global carbon revenue. However, recent price drops in the EU ETS suggest that global carbon pricing revenues may fall in 2024. #icws #carbonmarket #greenbonds #cliamtechange #europe #carbonpricing #carbonemissions #carbontrading https://lnkd.in/eQ33ve6s

1st Future Energy and Power Grid Transition by 2050 Webinar part of the International Climate Webinar Series - May 2nd. Outcomes of Our Last Webinar: Navigating the Transition by 2050: Emerging Challenges, Solutions, and Achievement Progress.

In the meantime, here's part 1️⃣ recap of the key takeaways from our expert guests: 💡 A turning point for the future energy landscape. "We are in very interesting times when the energy landscape is transforming under our eyes. The new energy outlook for 2024 reveals that this transformation is hard-wired into the US economy, and investment surged to record levels in renewables." By Joan Michelson - Electric Ladies Podcast with Joan Michelson 💡 Acknowledging social impact and progress. "We need to acknowledge progress when we see it. Retiring coal stations and replacing them with solar power plants is a step forward that we should support. We should also aim to minimize the cost to customers during this transition. Ultimately, the goal is to work towards achieving a 100% decarbonized grid power system."By Emily Sanford Fisher, Executive Vice President, Clean Energy & General Counsel - Edison Electric Institute 💡 Avoiding the setback for the 2050 objectives: "We are not on track to meet 1,5 degrees, meaning that increasing the implementation of renewable energy and clean technologies is crucial for meeting the 2050 target on time."
