SBTi touts uptick in corporate emissions reduction pledges 40 percent of corporations with pledges validated by the Science Based Targets initiative have both near-term and net-zero targets.

Close to 11,000 companies had validated near-term reduction plans or full-fledged corporate net-zero commitments at the end of June, an increase of 227 percent over the past 18 months. The findings run counter to the narrative that businesses are abandoning strategies to address climate change

SBTi’s new financial industry guidelines draw anti-ESG scrutiny Attorneys general from 23 states including Iowa and Florida have taken issue with SBTi's new net-zero framework for financial firms.

The attorneys general of 23 states want details about the Science Based Targets initiative’s net-zero guidance for financial institutions, suggesting it violates antitrust laws by attempting to “squeeze important American industries into eliminating carbon dioxide production by some future date.”

How clean energy incentives fare in the new GOP budget law Geothermal, clean hydrogen, nuclear and fuel cells still qualify for tax breaks, but anyone wanting to use commercial EV credits must act fast.

The U.S. budget reconciliation bill spared some tax incentives for solar and wind plants and carbon capture projects, but the rules have changed dramatically and a new executive order published July 7 will make it harder to qualify for credits.

Why @microsoft.com remains “pragmatically optimistic” that it will meet its commitment from five years ago to become carbon negative by 2030, despite a big increase since 2020.

Edinburgh traffic bans in city centre to be made permanent following trial Traffic bans on several city centre streets are to be made permanent after being trialled over the past year and a half.

A good eg here of changes made during the pandemic taking the slow steps from formal trial to permanent reallocation of street space away from cars and towards people. Great to see. Trials/pilots are a crucial part of demonstrating what reprioritised streets look/feel like & building public support

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
