African leaders will soon travel to Beijing to participate in the upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit, which will begin on September 4th. Many of those heads of state will arrive in the Chinese capital with a rather long wish list of infrastructure development projects they're hoping to pitch to Chinese financiers. Many of those initiatives will be focused on energy generation and distribution, particularly renewable solutions that are more affordable and easier to deploy. Shuang Liu, China finance director at the World Resource Institute's Climate Economics and Finance Program, and Li Shuo, director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute, are among the world's foremost experts on Chinese energy finance. They join Eric & Cobus to discuss what African leaders must do to align with China's new overseas development finance priorities.

Plus que quelques heures avant le coup d'envoi… La cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, c'est ce soir à 17h30 TU. L'événement est énorme : plus de 15 000 athlètes de plus de 200 pays vont s'affronter dans une trentaine de disciplines durant les Jeux olympiques jusqu'au 11 juillet, puis les paralympiques du 28 août au 8 septembre. 15 millions de visiteurs sont attendus pour assister aux compétitions et des milliards de spectateurs vont suivre cet événement à distance. RFI est d'ailleurs partenaire et nous vous ferons suivre l'événement au plus près. Pas question de gâcher la fête avec cette émission. D'autant que le comité d'organisation travaille depuis six ans pour faire de ces jeux les moins impactant de l'histoire de l'olympisme. Et les résultats sont là, nous allons vous les présenter. Mais est-ce que malgré ces efforts, ce gigantisme est compatible avec les limites planétaires ?

After the Fed supercharged the bond market's recovery, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing talks to David Wilder about issues around 2024's flagged rate cuts, including the impact of loosening financial conditions as investors front-run policymakers, whether “team transitory” has been proved right, and why the ECB and Bank of England are still sounding decidedly hawkish.Plus, our EM team sees “unusually large” growth divergence coming for emerging market economies in 2024. Deputy Chief EM Economist Shilan Shah and Assistant Economist Leah Fahy highlight the key takeaways from our latest quarterly EM Economic Outlook – including how elections could shape these economies in the coming year.Finally, the agreement among participants of the UN Climate Conference in Dubai was described as “historic”, but what was actually achieved that will help meet climate goals? David Oxley, the head of our Climate Economics coverage, separates the reality from the hype to show why some of the cynicism around the deal isn't entirely warranted, but also explains the challenges of building out renewables to meet COP28 commitments as well as the long-term impact of the green transition on the oil market.Click here to read the analysis referenced in this podcast episode.
Many UK businesses are aware that they need to develop a strategy around decarbonisation, however, these businesses face the challenge of knowing where to start, and who to turn to. This session frames how and why businesses should consider the need to measure their carbon footprint, what are the challenges to doing that, and how it can drive actions and benefits for their business. Featuring Chris Spry (Head of eFX Derivatives Trading, NatWest Group), Emma Kisby (CEO, CoGo), Scott James (Partner, William Ward Associates), Jon Horsfield (CEO, Diode Energy), Zara Janjua (Broadcaster and Journalist), and Dr Maria Carvalho (Head of Climate Economics and Data, NatWest Group). The inaugural Innovation Zero Congress at Olympia London in 2023 convened 6,866 passionate, forward-looking experts who exchanged critical knowledge, debate and discussions around the implementation and scaling of the innovations needed to meet the Paris goals.

Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing tackles what we think will be the key themes for the global economy in 2024, including why the consensus for growth is too optimistic, how quickly the Fed could cut rates and how to think about the macro and market consequences of a full slate of elections. Plus, with COP 28 about to get underway in Dubai, Climate Economics head David Oxley and Climate Economist Hamad Hussain discuss why these high-level meetings aren't the solution to a successful green transition and highlight just some of the key findings from our new CE Climate Reporting Tools.

Our starter is the Strategic Plan of the revived State Electricity Commission of Victoria. What are they up to? Much more than we expected! Large scale clean energy investment, taking on existing contracts for difference, getting into electrification, skills, and governance! No really, that last one might be the most controversial. Overall it's very interesting and pretty positive, despite Tennant's xenomorphic metaphors!Our main paper Residual emissions are the stuff that requires the Net in Net Zero - the emissions that can't be (or, at least, aren't) eliminated and have to be balanced by removals of carbon from the atmosphere through biological and/or engineered processes. Previously we covered a report on the scope of potential removals and one on the issues involved in Australian removals specifically. Now we consider a paper on how big residual emissions may be, based on the currently available Long Term Strategies submitted under the Paris Agreement: Why residual emissions matter right now - by Buck, Carton, Lund and Markusson.The authors tot up 51 published national strategies, including Australia's very own late-2021 contribution (a rather more elaborate successor is now being developed). They find a rather high level of residuals; little specificity or consistency around their definition or presentation; and more residuals than the same nations' land sectors are expected to be able to soak up. At best, a work in progress!One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is a speech on energy and net zero industry by the Federal Treasurer that foreshadows a big, but not just spendy, Superpower push in the 2024-25 Budget.Alison's One More Thing is a fascinating transcript of a discussion on how the world navigates energy security, economic prosperity, and geopolitics through the period of cross-over between the decline of fossil fuels and the growth of renewables.Who are the winners and the losers are going to be? What are the prospects for various types of mineral-exporting countries? How does a world with terminally declining oil demand look?Luke's One More Thing is an epic takedown of Integrated Assessment Models for a lay audience “When Idiot Savants do Climate Economics”.And Alison's one more one more thing is: this is the last episode of her initial LMSU run! Frankie's Podcast Mat Leave is coming to an end. But Alison will return when the stars are right (or the Holiday Movie Special looms)...Send all your residual paper suggestions and thoughts (after eliminating all the bad ones) to mailbag@letmesumup.net, xeet ‘em at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed, @alison_reeve and @FrankieMuskovic, or blu ‘em at @lukemenzel.bsky.social @tennantreed.bsky.social and @reevealison.bsky.social.

The euro-zone may be mired in recession, but that won't stop the ECB from raising rates again this coming week in order to get inflation – a “greedy beast”, according to Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel – under control. Deputy Chief Eurozone Economist Jack Allen-Reynolds tells David Wilder why another 25 basis point hikes is a done deal for this Thursday, but also why the ECB could take rates up to 4% from 3.5% now and keep them there – and what that means for an already-faltering European economy. Plus, Chief Commodities Economist Caroline Bain and Climate Economics head David Oxley discuss some of the macro, market and policy risks around the return of El Niño.And, in an exclusive clip from our UK ‘Drop-In' about the June CPI report, Paul Dales, Ruth Gregory, Jonas Goltermann and Ashley Webb tell clients why we've raised our Bank Rate forecast, what recession will mean for the inflation outlook and what lies ahead for the Gilt market.Click here to explore the analysis and events referenced in this episode.

Neil Shearing says the UK's April CPI report was a “horrorshow”. The Capital Economics Group Chief Economist tells David Wilder why sticky inflation readings make recession more likely – despite the popular view that a downturn can be avoided – while previewing May inflation data for the euro-zone and the US non-farm payrolls report.Plus, the reports suggest a deal is near, but what if Democrats and Republicans fail to agree in time and the US actually defaults? Hear an exclusive clip from our client briefing about the macro and market impact if the unthinkable became a reality.Also, most studies tend to understate the impact that a bigger-than-expected rise in global temperatures would have on economic activity. David Oxley, the head of our Climate Economics service, has tried to put that right with new analysis. Here he talks through some of the global and country-level impacts.Click here to explore the analysis referenced in this episode.

Big show this week! First, Felix Salmon (chief financial correspondent for Axios, Slate's Money podcast, Axios Edge Newsletter) joins the show to discuss why all that talk at the World Economic Forum in Davos may be cheap, why Greta wasn't speaking in a bigger room, where he sees some of the biggest needs for economic policy to address climate change, and how attitudes are changing on the financial prospects of fossil fuel companies. We ask Felix: Is Jim Cramer the Greta Thunberg of financial cable television? (Spoiler alert: he's not). Then, we talk to Justin Nobel, who's remarkable investigation for the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and Rolling Stone reveals a shocking truth around the dangers we face with toxic waste coming from oil-and-gas wells. The threat is deadly and most of us are simply unaware it exists. As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

In Episode 112 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Steve Keen one of the few economists to correctly anticipate the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, as well as the subsequent deflationary forces that would frustrate and confound policymakers in the years afterward. The two discuss Keen’s latest work modeling the impact of climate on economic output, as well as debunking some of the most common misperceptions about money and credit held by Keynesian and Austrian theorists alike. Demetri and Steve have known each other going back almost ten years. Dr. Keen was a frequent guest on Demetri’s old television program Capital Account, where he would come on to share his views on markets and the economy. For years, Steve had been warning policymakers and the media about the dangers of a build-up in private sector debt through mortgage refinancing and consumer credit. In the years after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Steve Keen was one of the prominent voices alongside folks like Richard Koo, Mark Zandi, and others, who were ringing the alarm bell, warning about the risk of a deflationary spiral. Many of the more prominent, Austrian-trained economists like Thomas Woods, Peter Schiff, and others, were pounding the table about the risk of hyperinflation. In retrospect, it was those economists warning about deflation like Steve Keen, who had it right. In today’s conversation, we explore the reasons why and examine if those conditions still hold to this present day. You can gain access to this week’s overtime segment, as well as to the transcript of Demetri’s conversation with Steve Keen through the Hidden Forces Patreon Page. All subscribers also gain access to our overtime feed, which can be easily be added to your favorite podcast application.

Rachel Kyte, Vice President for Sustainable Development at the World Bank, spoke recent at the Development Policy Centre about the risk a 4 degree warmer world poses for development and the impact of sea-level rise, heat waves and extreme weather events globally, and in Australia and Oceania. Everyone will be affected by the changing climate, but the poor and vulnerable will suffer most. She argued that we must avoid a 4 degree warmer world and prepare for 2 degrees, and highlights action that would make the biggest difference. However, while climate change is a major threat, inclusive green growth is an opportunity. Ms Kyte outlined the World Bank Group’s efforts to catalyze climate-smart development and green growth. Rachel Kyte became Vice President of Sustainable Development at the World Bank in September, 2011. As such, she has overall responsibilities for the organization’s global work in agriculture, environment, energy, infrastructure, urban, and social development, along with global public goods issues in those areas. Prior to her appointment, she was the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Vice President for Business Advisory Services and a member of IFC’s Management Team. This seminar was presented by the Development Policy Centre and the Centre for Climate Economics and Policy at the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University.

Energy lies at the heart of the world's sustainability challenge. On the one hand, abundant, accessible, low-cost energy is vital for economic prosperity. On the other hand, the world's pattern of energy use, based on fossil fuels, threatens massive future climate change with devastating potential consequences. The greatest sustainability challenge, therefore, is to meet the energy needs of a growing world economy while moving to a safer pattern of energy use. In this talk Jeffrey Sachs will discuss strategies for creating a road map on deep decarbonisation to ensure the world can have the energy that it needs for prosperity while reducing CO2 emissions drastically. Jeffrey D Sachs is a world-renowned professor of economics, a leader in sustainable development, senior UN advisor, bestselling author, and syndicated columnist whose monthly newspaper columns appear in more than 80 countries. He serves as Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University, as well as Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development and Health Policy and Management. He is Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the Millennium Development Goals, having held the same position under former UN Secretary- General Kofi Annan. He is co-founder and Chief Strategist of the Millennium Promise Alliance, and is director of the Millennium Villages Project. He has authored several books including three New York Times bestsellers: The End of Poverty (2005), Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet (2008), The Price of Civilization (2011), and To Move the World (2013). This lecture is presented by the Centre for Climate Economics and Policy at Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University, in partnership with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the Monash Sustainability Institute at Monash University, as well as Canberra Urban and Regional Futures (CURF). It relates to Australia's contribution to the UN SDSN Deep Decarbonisation Pathways Project, led by ClimateWorks Australia and ANU.
