    Thank you for reading the book . We are honored. What has been the most impactful idea for you?

    Zdjęcie z pociągu, widać rękę trzymającą książkę z pomarańczową okładka i drzewem - można odczytać autorów i tytuł z podtytułem: Christiana Figueres Tom Rivett-Carnac „Przyszłość zależy od nas. Przewodnik po kryzysie klimatycznym dla niepoprawnych optymistów”. W prawym dolnym rogu okładki czarne kółko z białymi literami: „jedna z najbardziej inspirujących książek, jakie w życiu czytałem” Yuval Noah Harari. W tle widać składany szary stolik w pociągu.
    Dzień dobry! Dziś bez selfie z pociągu, za to z bardzo ciekawą lekturą ;-) A jak u Państwa? Jak zaczął się dzień? Co jest czytane?

    Last week, said, "Don't play around the edges... we need to create incentives for the private sector to really do some investing in reducing emissions. And so I'm open to ideas that would make that happen, and the carbon tax, carbon dividend is such an idea."

    Nailed it!

    "We are doomed!" is nearly the opposite of "We are doomed if we fail to take action". The latter is true, the former is false. The latter speaks to both urgency and agency. The former speaks to neither. And that's my public service announcement of the day. Thanks!

    Absolutely the wrong direction. Decoupling of energy from CO2 needs to accelerate. Economic recovery means more energy but cannot mean higher emissions.

    BIG NEWS: Despite falling 6% in 2020 as a whole, global energy-related CO2 emissions rebounded over the course of the year from an April low and rose above their 2019 level in December Our numbers indicate a return to carbon-intensive business-as-usual ➡️

    Congratulations to on the 2nd anniversary of its National Decarbonization Plan! Already, it has reversed deforestation and generates almost 100% renewable electricity. Ambitious actions are critical to tackle the climate crisis while creating new jobs and growth.
