What a privilege to host industry leader and Australia's second richest person, Dr Andrew Forrest AO, for a no-holds-barred conversation at @UniofOxford last week! Discussing #ClimateAction, #leadership, #faith, and more, it's a dialogue you won't want to miss

The greatest greenwash is that climate change is the fault of individuals, says Dr. Andrew Forrest. He is urging the public & governments to hold ‘captains of industry’, like himself, to account. bit.ly/46GdSWj @Brian_OCall @TheSmithSchool @FortescueNews

“57% of African countries spend more on interest than healthcare... almost all spend more on interest than climate... every day of delay in reforming the financial architecture is blood on our hands" 🗣️ @Brian_OCall at the @WorldBank and @IMFNews meetings

@FortescueNews @UniofOxford @WardenKiss @Mette_Morsing @rhodes_trust @TheSmithSchool

The greatest greenwash is that climate change is the fault of individuals. It isn't - and heavy industry must change. Dr Forrest visited @UniofOxford yesterday to learn from leading climate scholars and outline our plan to deploy the green solutions which can save the world.

@AERCAFRICA @KevinPGallagher @GDP_Center @BoellStiftung @CSF_SOAS @ECA_OFFICIAL Dr @Brian_OCall, @ECA_OFFICIAL: This goes well beyond the climate crisis. Many African countries are spending more on debt payments than healthcare and education, what more on climate action. But we can use debt as leverage. #ACS23

Is Africa on track to achieve 100% energy access by 2030? Is there any place for gas in the energy transition in #Africa? Join us tomorrow 8am at the #AfricaClimateSummit23 ACS 3 Mount Nimba #FastFairForever #DontGasAfrica #ACS23 #JustTransition

With the Global Recovery Observatory's visualization tools anyone can easily compare &scrutinize how serious our governments actually are with respect to sustainable recovery.  🌏✅ ➡️ @Brian_OCall  @TheSmithSchool tells us more soon. Watch now ⤵️ mtr.cool/tyqtfgkoin

@MatthewAgarwala on credit ratings agencies and climate: "They’re inching forward, but the icecaps are melting faster"

@MatthewAgarwala @civic_future @DeirdreMcClosk Bewildering… i hope this was a joke? Even to purport that colonialism is a thing of the past… never mind that she benefits every day

Deeply disappointing discussion at #ProgressSummit @civic_future as @DeirdreMcClosk claims 'no one got rich off the slave trade or colonialism'. Equally silly statements made on climate science.

.@UniofOxford climate collab brought policymakers from 12 countries to discuss Green Fiscal Policy Strategy. Attendees shared perspectives to develop a solution-oriented green fiscal policy #researchagenda. Led by @Brian_OCall #OxfordSmithSchool & @thomasnhale @BlavatnikSchool

13/13 TIPS FOR IFIs (ex-post) - Support clients to promptly rebuild fiscal space and buffers post-crisis and enhance resilience - Align recovery financing with green, resilient recovery and support implementation

12/13 TIPS FOR IFIs (during crises) - Implement pre-arranged and responsive finance to maintain liquidity in crises - Provide TA and policy-based lending for reforms towards resilience - Implement ‘do no significant harm’ to goals within rescue financing and support with TA

We gave #G20 a strategy for climate policy that stays strong through rain or shine, recession or expansion, war or peace ➡️"#ResilientNetZeroTransition" 🧵1/n @NicolaRanger @SamFankhauser @fulvia_marotta
