Cities are complex ecosystems, shaped by diverse ideas & actors—from urban planners to environmentalists, economists to community voices. Collaborative thinking fuels sustainable development, as highlighted by Mr. Anton Cartwright. #UrbanInnovation #SustainableCities
Gathering wishes and hopes for the new year......I don't think this is too much to ask for. dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…

Yeah, it’s a bit hot, but it’s summer. Let’s keep drilling for new oil. Who cares about about our kids and their kids’ future anyway?
The heatwave in southern Europe intensifies further today/tomorrow
Here are some of the forecast peak temperatures
Many coastal areas will remain a touch cooler. Nights remain hot too

"We have mortgaged our most precious moral compass, for which many millions suffered for way too many decades" important context (some of it lived experience) and damning conclusion from @brankobrkic dailymaverick.co.za/article/…
When our website host contacted me out of the blue I assumed it related to an unpaid bill. Instead @xneeloHosting offered to put together some home-town footage and aired @CredibleCarbon's ambition and purpose at a time when carbon markets are in need of both.

South African firefighters learned their craft protecting people living in fire-dependent biomes such as fynbos. As large parts of the world become hotter and drier, this is a valuable and exportable skill. #indigenousknowledge #newclimateeconomy
Applause for global carbon market growth from "covering" 7% of all emissions to 23% in a decade. Now time to focus this market on actually cutting emissions and building the low carbon, inclusive economies, nature enhancing economy we all need. openknowledge.worldbank.org/…

LAUNCH | Tonight we see the launch of "Pathways for a Just Urban Transition in South Africa", commissioned by the @WorldBank in partnership with the ACC, & in collab with the National Treasury of South Africa & its Cities Support Programme, & the Presidential Climate Commission.
The wrong way to 'peak-plateau-decline'. A different approach would see the same CO2 curve driving economic inclusion and growth.
Those against the US$8.5 bn Just Energy Transition Investment argue that SA is being bribed into decarbonizing its power sector. It's happening anyway as coal power stations fail. @Eskom_SA's available coal plant capacity and emissions are already below IRP2019 levels for 2030.

Carbon isn’t just another commodity market carbon-pulse.com/201311/
Interesting, and I think true. GHG reduction is much too layered & complex to be a straight commodity. It remains to be seen if ratings agencies can marshal investment in GHG reduction to where most needed.
Mark Swilling spells out the consequence of policy incoherence. "There is plenty of funding available for renewables at a very low cost per KWh. There is virtually no funding available for investing in coal... " dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

ACC's Anton Cartwright @EconologicAnt sets the scene for this session by arguing that three strands of policy work (industrialisation, urbanisation, climate change) should be woven into a single narrative & effort focussed on people-centre, nature-centre, human development.
