We got sick of complaining about how broken higher education is. So we decided to do something about it.
Announcing a new university dedicated to the fearless pursuit of truth: @uaustinorg:

Congrats to Mongolia & @XacBank!
And tip of the hat to @gggi_hq who partnered with Mongolia on a 2017 readiness grant that generated the concept of the MGFC, enabling XacBank to get PPF support and Board approval in just 3 years.
Green Climate Fund@theGCF
GCF Board #GCFB27 approved project FP153 with @XacBank, establishing the Mongolia Green Finance Corporation to channel finance towards #mitigation targets, including energy efficiency for businesses & mortgages for green affordable housing. 💡 Learn more: g.cf/fp153

Leo was a respected colleague and a friend to all who knew him. Like too many who have succumbed to #COVID19 his loss is a senseless tragedy and leaves many of us angry and frustrated. May his family find some measure of peace in knowing how much he meant to so many.

I couldn't have said it better than Andreas. Leo was a rarity in our line of work: a kind soul in an often unkind world. He brought that kindness into everything he did, and he managed to serve as a staunch advocate for those most vulnerable to climate change

“What’s the use of having developed a science well enough to make predictions if, in the end, all we’re willing to do is stand around and wait for them to come true?”

@DrShepherd2013 @PaulEWalsh Just like the climate change deniers who point to the gloomy predictions of horrible pollution in the early 1970s and how they never came to pass. Of course, they conveniently forget the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act prevented those predictions from coming true.

@adam_tooze @hausfath @martinwolf_ We have the tech, have the policies, we have the capital. We lack deployment because investors can not find enough safe investment grade projects. Derisking and last mile finance to attract the institutional investors and banks with trillions just sitting there!
English
Over the past 3 decades CO2 emissions per unit of GDP have been falling at a little below 2% pa. If this were to continue, zero growth would result in 40% emissions cut by 2050 = far too little -> we need technological revolution. @martinwolf_

$10b towards derisking - policy, financial instrument, market, technology, you name it - would be money well spent. Heck I’d take $1b of that sum!
Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social@MLiebreich
Good thread on how @JeffBezos should spend his $10bn climate pledge, how it might be tough. Nah. He should support pre-FID project development at all scales: kilo, mega, giga. We have masses of technologies, advocates, $$$. What is missing is a rip tide of high quality projects.
