    2022 climate poll is steady on levels of concern, desire action (still solid majorities). But this caught my eye: 60% support for publicly-listed companies being mandated to report their environmental performance like financial performance

    These industry and corporate actors are now consistently clear that climate policy is central to our country's economic competitiveness and stability. It really is amazing that it doesn't penetrate into the national political discussion of the economy much more.

    AICD: “[Company director survey] results also reflect what we have known for some time, directors are seeking a clearer pathway and stronger commitments on climate change, which is almost of equal importance to directors as strong economic management."

    Disorderly transition dispatches... Infrastructure Partnerships Australia: “Without a clear national [decarbonisation] plan Australia risks being left behind, with capital flowing to other nations with compelling, long-term mandates for green investment"

    Good write up in of Australia's poor performance on the MIT Green Future Index. Important to note it's not just about target strength, this is about the economic competitiveness of our industry and trade offering in a decarbonising world.

    I need to look under the methodological hood a bit more, but our slide will partly be because we didn't lift policy ambition heading into Glasgow (policy heavily weighted on indicators). Asian countries that did - such as Japan and Korea - rose sharply

    This about our country's core competitiveness in the global economy. Where our future wealth, trade opportunities and jobs will be created. Maybe not in the next term of federal parliament, but certainly in the next decade. Might be worth a question on the campaign trail.

    MIT Tech Review publishes an annual review/ranking of national performance on emissions, energy transition, green society, clean innovation and climate policy. In 2022, Australia dropped 17 places and now sits at 52 behind Saudi Arabia (that's bad)

    It's partly because the cost of gas soaring, so the cost of electrolysis is not as big a gap to bridge (which of course can reverse in the near-term). But will the energy security benefits of green energy sources also be priced into investment and policy decisions?

    One to watch. Will the energy market response to the Ukraine crisis accelerate the cost-competitiveness of green hydrogen?

    Canada the latest country to introduce mandatory climate risk reporting. This rule will apply to banks and insurers, but mandatory company reporting in train.

    Climate is intensifying pressure on investors to decarbonise: “Carbon reduction is not just an issue - it is the issue. There’s an enormous amount of capital that wants to be part of the solution.” launches $4b fund on energy transition

    A very good piece. In a world fascinated by power plays, we too often gloss over the impact policy decisions have on the day-to-day wellbeing of regular people.

    A good example of greenwashing is companies who spruik green credentials but pay lobby groups to destroy climate policy. Urban Taskforce steering committee members here: How does this activity line up with their company pronouncements on climate?

    Seems to me that a large public and private injection in R&D and deployment funding into CDR tech via CSIRO, ARENA, CEFC and elsewhere would be a useful pursuit. Again this is complementary, not instead of, rapid emissions reductions right now.

    IPCC WGIII is also again time to have that uncomfortable conversation about Carbon Dioxide Removal. In short, we are going to need it! Not at the expense of cutting emissions right now or prolonging fossil fuels. But we need to prove up DACCS, BECCS and get serious about nature!
