@Trevornoah fantastic conversation with Prime Minister Mia Mottley. Would be great to chat about the climate issues raised and the real win-win-win solutions out there that are reaching developing countries - but are not getting the traction they deserve. We need champions!

🪄 Kolbe magic once again! 🤩 The @springboks are making difficult things look easy! A classy cross-kick score to extend their lead! #AutumnNationsSeries | #ENGvRSA

In a new @dailymaverick op-ed, Verra CEO @MandyRambharos reminds the reader that the VCM is not a "racket" but a critical tool for supporting global climate efforts. We need to focus on strengthening the market, not condemning it. bit.ly/3ZZ7Wr8 #StandardsMatter #Verra

EPİAŞ ve VERRA “Karbon Kredisi Ticaret Platformu İşbirliği” konulu mutabakat belgesini imzaladı. [NEW YORK CITY – 23 Eylül 2024] – EPİAŞ ile iklim eylemi ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma alanında dünyanın önde gelen standart belirleyicisi @VerraStandards , Verra onaylı karbon kredilerinin Türkiye'nin Enerji Borsası EPİAŞ platformunda, ilk kez borsa tabanlı ticaretini mümkün kılmak için stratejik bir ortaklığa imza attı. EPİAŞ ve Verra CEO'ları, konuyla ilgili Mutabakat Belgesini imzalamak üzere Climate Week NYC etkinliğinde bir araya geldi. İmzalanan mutabakat belgesi Verra onaylı karbon kredilerinin EPİAŞ platformunda alınıp satılmasına imkan tanıyacak. Bu krediler, sera gazı emisyonlarında doğrulanmış azalmaları temsil ediyor. Borsa aracılığıyla ticaretin kolaylaşması hem alıcıların hem de satıcıların organize, verimli ve şeffaf bir piyasadan faydalanmasını sağlayacak. EPİAŞ, borsa tabanlı gönüllü karbon kredisi ticaretine ek olarak, Verra ile olan işbirliği kapsamında potansiyel piyasa katılımcıları için farkındalığı arttırmaya yönelik atölyeler düzenleyecek. EPİAŞ CEO'su @TahaArvas şunları söyledi: "Bu anlaşmayla, dünyada gönüllü karbon kredilerinin ilk borsa tabanlı ticaretini EPİAŞ'ta sağlamayı amaçlıyoruz. Bu, karbon kredisi düzenleyen kurumların kayıt sistemleri ile entegre, ticarete konu kredilerin varlığını doğrulayan ve sorunsuz bir şekilde ticaretine izin veren merkezi bir karşı taraf hizmeti anlamına gelecek. Bu adım, çevresel piyasalarımızın ürün çeşitliliğini artırarak piyasa katılımcılarımızın VERRA kredilerine erişmesine olanak tanıyacak." Verra'nın İcra Kurulu Başkanı @MandyRambharos şunları söyledi: Bu işbirliği, alıcıların küresel olarak yüksek kaliteli karbon kredilerine erişimini genişletme misyonumuza yönelik önemli bir adımı teşkil ediyor. Verra onaylı kredileri EPİAŞ'ın platformuna entegre ederek, Türkiye'nin gönüllü karbon piyasasının güvenilirliğini ve şeffaflığını artırmayıve eğitim atölyeleri aracılığıyla daha fazla katılım sağlamayı amaçlıyoruz. Bu iş birliğinin hem piyasalar hem de genel anlamda Türkiye'deki iklim eylemi çabalarının üzerinde yaratacağı olumlu etkiyi görmeyi sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz." İlk borsa tabanlı gönüllü karbon kredisi ticaretinin ilerleyen haftalarda başlaması bekleniyor.

As the world works to move away from fossil fuels, a fair and equitable Just Transition is paramount to ensure no communities are left behind. It’s a complex, phased shift and equity & fairness must be the bedrock of the process. EDF’s @MandyRambharos explains to @MollyJongFast.

Our @MandyRambharos is a climate champion! With @MollyJongFast, Mandy recounts her role in transitioning a South African community away from fossil fuels.

Dear Prez, it’s time to sign the Climate Change Act! Consultations have taken five (5!) years; all issues debated. Passed by Parliament, NCOP approved on 26 April. In case you missed it, there is a climate CRISIS. We need this law, signed by you, now! pmg.org.za/bill/1065/

@StandardBankZA Library Lounge @ORT continues to impress. Brilliant food, and outstanding service (especially Lindo). The only reason I get to the airport early!!

Companies need clear pathways for bold climate action. Recent move by @sciencetargets opened up those pathways for high-quality, innovative mitigation efforts that can help transform whole systems & industries. More from @MandyRambharos & @mendiluce: reuters.com/sustainability…

Just Energy Transition isn't just about swapping fossil fuels for renewables – it's about fairness and equity. I’m proud to share @EnvDefenseFund's Just Transition and Safeguards Framework blogs.edf.org/climate411/202…

Thank you @MikeBloomberg for being a tireless ally in the effort to cut methane emissions. @MethaneSAT will provide the necessary data to hold countries and companies to account. twitter.com/MikeBloomberg/…

Great 3-minute primer on what @MethaneSAT will do and how the data will be used. As @MarkSBrownstein points out “when you’ve got a problem the size of the planet you need a tool that’s capable of gathering data across the planet.” one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId…

6 years ago @EnvDefenseFund’s President @FredKrupp presented his @TheAudaciousPrj idea to launch MethaneSat: A satellite that would map, measure + track methane emissions from space. Today, that idea becomes a reality. Watch the livestream here: vitalsigns.edf.org/methane-sat-up…

A new era in tracking global methane pollution and holding emitters accountable has begun! Check out the moment @MethaneSAT successfully separates from the @SpaceX #Falcon9 and commences orbit.

Benefits-sharing is a triple-win for communities, the climate and carbon market integrity – so why is its economic value often overlooked? Read the latest from @MandyRambharos on why it’s critical for social safeguards to be included in market regulations bit.ly/3vVPx1b

@taraturk1 @HomeAffairsSA Apply through your bank. Super quick service at turnaround time at FNB Lifestyle in Centurion.

Day 2 of passport purgatory at @HomeAffairsSA. I was first in line at Bronkhorstspruit (where I could find an appointment), but their systems were off all day yesterday and so far this morning. There are hundreds of people here - so thousands across the country - just waiting for their systems to come back online. This is not ok.

Money makes resilience go round. So when climate disasters strike developing nations, they have a much harder time bouncing back. At #COP28 EDF is advocating for climate finance for emerging economies. Our @jhoffmaister breaks down the progress we’ve seen so far.
