The IPCC emphasises the critical role of CO2 removal (#CDR) in achieving #NetZero by 2050, spotlighting its potential to neutralise residual emissions. Urgent action is needed, with estimates pointing to a substantial CDR capacity required by 2050. Both nature-based and technology-based solutions are pivotal, offering unique advantages. Nature-based options promise cost-effectiveness and long-term balance, while technology-based solutions ensure durable removals. Businesses must swiftly integrate #CDR into their strategies to meet net-zero commitments. It's a call to action for innovation and collaboration to combat climate change effectively.

Elections worldwide in 2024 are poised to shape the #energytransition's trajectory, impacting domestic policies and international climate efforts. Key contests in the US and Europe hold significant sway over #cleanenergy incentives and climate diplomacy. The US election, especially, could influence China's dominance in low-carbon technology supply chains. Meanwhile, India's election may accelerate #green investment, with Modi's approach balancing economic development and climate action. Election outcomes vary, with Brazil and Australia leaning towards green policies, while Argentina and New Zealand backtrack. Shifts in the EU, UK, and Mexico also signal potential changes in climate strategies.

Explorer and environmentalist Bertrand Piccard emphasises the importance of #energyefficiency alongside #renewableenergy. He highlights that three-quarters of global energy is wasted due to inefficiencies. He emphasizes that shifting solely to renewables without improving efficiency is futile. Piccard notes that approximately three-quarters of global energy is squandered due to inefficiencies. He urges a broader consideration of renewable sources beyond #wind and #solar, like #biogas and geothermal energy. Piccard warns of missed green energy targets if efficiency isn't prioritised. He discusses the paradox of China's oversupply of solar panels, acknowledging both benefits and challenges. Despite concerns, he credits China for driving down solar energy costs, essential for renewable energy advancement.

A recent report by the Debt Relief for Green and Inclusive Recovery Project (DRGR) highlights that emerging countries face a daunting challenge. They're projected to spend a staggering $400 billion on servicing external debt this year alone. However, 47 of these nations risk default within five years if they divert funds towards climate adaptation and sustainable development, crucial for meeting 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement goals. The report urges a global financial overhaul, debt forgiveness, and increased affordable financing to avert a looming crisis. It also calls for IMF to reconsider its debt sustainability assessments to factor in climate spending needs.

Southeast Asia is witnessing a resurgence in cross-border energy projects, notably the #ASEAN Power Grid (APG). However, there's growing discourse on ensuring a just transition, addressing socio-economic impacts. Projects offer economic benefits but also raise environmental and social concerns. The Just Energy Transition Partnership (#JETP) allocates funds to Indonesia and Vietnam for #renewableenergy transition. National frameworks emphasize domestic grid development, aligning with just transition principles. Incorporating community participation and grievance mechanisms in APG implementation could mitigate negative impacts. Despite challenges, integrating just transition principles can enhance the sustainability of cross-border energy initiatives in Southeast Asia.
