🌍 MULTICARE at @sustainplaces Conference 2024! 🌱Łukasz Wilczyński joined forces with other EU projects to present key results of the project and tackle issues. We discussed🔧technical barriers,💼business models, and ♻️ how our solutions go beyond energy efficiency👏
We can have a CO2 tax and low overall taxes. High wealth and high incomes don’t hurt the planet unless they are spent on destructive things. We should talk about shifting taxes towards negative externalities and let market innovation do the rest.
A CO2 tax, properly applied, would change the tragedy of the commons that is the steadily rising CO2 ppm level. If we’re going to tax anything, then we should prioritize taxing the potentially bad over the potentially good, as we do with alcohol & cigarettes over vegetables & fruits
I disagree with those who view the climate risk as catastrophic in the 5 to 10 year range, but the long term risk is very real, even if one simply considers quality of life at a given CO2 level.
The indoor CO2 ppm level is significantly above the outdoor average. This means ~800ppm for ~400ppm ambient. Above 1000ppm, people are noticeably negatively affected. Above 2000ppm, it gets really painful.

On behalf of all Ukrainians, Olena @ZelenskaUA and I wish all Americans a happy Thanksgiving.
We thank you, the people of America.
We know how many of you sincerely sympathize with our struggle and wish Ukraine victory. We saw how many of you took to heart the illegal and unprovoked attack on Ukraine and felt that it was also an attack on your values.
Thanks to American support and global leadership, millions of Ukrainian lives have been saved.
Ukraine is grateful to you! And we have faith that the unity of the free world will always overcome any threats to freedom.
Freedom must not, and will not, fall. We guarantee it together.
I have stopped purchasing @Unilever brands until they #StandWithUkraine and improve upon their “not straightforward” stance operating within Putin’s regime. #UniquelyUnilever

Looking forward to hearing what this guy has to say :)
