En ny #klimattull ska skydda EU:s bolag mot konkurrens från länder med lägre hållbarhetskrav, skriver @dagensindustri. Den nya policyn uppmuntrar företag att göra nödvändiga förändringar för minskade utsläpp & ökad konkurrenskraft säger @Timothy_Suljada. buff.ly/3PHIrnr

Norway’s oil & gas exports typically bring in $30bn/yr, but in 2022 rocketed to $130bn. This is a similar scale to the entire Marshall Plan of 1948-51! Using the windfall to underwriting risk could completely change the climate game... @MichaelGrubb9 ft.com/content/c4bf95…

Excellent op-ed by @SEIclimate Daniel Duma & @Miquel_SEI on the need for pipeline of viable projects, to have a shot at turning billions into trillions (or even millions at this rate). More capacity-building & institutions needed. @UNFCCC @WorldBank context.news/just-transitio…

Brilliant speech: “How much longer do Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to wait for recognition?” 122 yr old constitution, 30 yrs since Keating’s Redfern speech, 16 years ago Howard promised a referendum, 15 yrs since the apology, 6 yrs since the Uluru Statement

5. Honest broker? The Presidency made progress on key sustainability files. It looked tenuous after horse trading on the Nature restoration law, but in the end the compromise text drafted by the Presidency led to a Council general approach even when Sweden as MS voted no

4. What’s left for Spain? Some of the toughest files with more to do on power market reform, energy taxation directive and methane emissions and air quality files. Patience is running thin on the net-zero industry act so Spain will need to work quickly

Here’s our take on the outgoing Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU. Sweden 🇸🇪 now hands over to Spain 🇪🇸 so what’s the state of play for sustainability policy after Sweden’s six months at the centre of EU policy? What will remain for Spain? See 🧵 👇 @SEIresearch
