A love story; “How Money kills Climate. This week on Friday at 08.45 CET, a romantic drama with a lethal twist. Production; Humanity Inc. Director; Capital Inc. Staring; Planet Earth. How oil barons ended up in charge of Donald Trump’s energy policy and what does it mean for the world? The G20 failure to make a direct mention of the need to transition away from fossil fuels in its leaders’ statement in Rio has escalated fears among key negotiators at the UN COP29 summit in Baku that Donald Trump’s US election victory has put the brakes on climate action. The debate at COP29 over international climate finance has been focused largely on the “money out” element: the amount of cash that developed nations will provide to help developing countries respond to climate challenges. But to achieve a serious expansion of public climate finance, governments will also need to give serious attention to the “money in” dimension: changes to tax regimes that will raise the funds required. What is on the table and what does it mean? India’s Coal Plants to Miss Pollution Goal as Smog Chokes Delhi… and much more!
