The EU has introduced a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent carbon leakage – when companies move production to countries with weaker climate rules, or when EU products are replaced by more carbon-intensive imports. But the measure has sparked controversy and concern, especially among countries in the Global South, as seen during COP30 in Belém. This episode of the Climate Briefing explores the implications of the EU's CBAM for countries in the Global South: What are their main concerns, and what could be done to mitigate negative impacts? To discuss these questions and more, Anna is joined by Aparna Sharma (Programme Lead at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water – CEEW), Shimukunku Manchishi (Senior Policy Officer at the African Futures Policy Hub), and Ieva Baršauskaitė (Lead on Trade and Green Transition at the International Institute for Sustainable Development – IISD).
In More and More and More, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz shows that the human history of energy is one of accumulation, not substitution. Here, he talks to reporter Adam Lowenstein about how the "energy transition" frame got so entrenched, why clean-energy innovation is not the same thing as decarbonization; how the fossil fuel industry helped launder pipe dreams of dysfunctional technologies into mainstream climate “solutions”; and much more (and more and more).

The Central Economic Work Conference is calling for a good start for China's 15th Five Year Plan period.
Wojciech Przybylski unpacks the new United States national security strategy and its ‘chaotic hypocrisy' towards Europe, then turns to Hungary to ask what an honest energy transition would really look like.In conversation with Ada Ámon, executive director of the Budapest Climate Agency, this episode explores:– How deeply Hungary is locked into Russian oil, gas and nuclear fuel– Why successive governments chose cheap energy over efficiency and resilience– How Hungarian households have already shown they can cut consumption by twenty to thirty per cent– How EU funds were diverted away from citizens and into government buildings, weakening real climate action– What smarter pricing, better incentives and local innovation could do for Hungary's energy futureThis podcast is a part of our Europe Future Forum Polish-Hungarian Perspectives project.

Lithium is an essential ingredient of most modern electronics. It helps to power our phones, our laptops, and increasingly EVs and other key parts of the green transition. As Thea Riofrancos, a political scientist, environmentalist, and author of the new book “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism,” explains to Mark on this episode, the story of lithium — how it's mined, how it's refined, and how it makes its way around the world — isn't just a business story. It's a story of geopolitics and power.On this episode, Mark and Thea discuss the surprising story of lithium extraction, how the race to electrify our energy supply is reshaping the global economy, and what it all means for the future of our planet.

CLIMATE diplomacy is not dead, but it's not looking too healthy right now. A month after the International Maritime Organization's Net-Zero Framework was put on life support for a year in the hope that a cure could be found, many of the same politicians, negotiators, non-governmental organisations, claques and hacks still reeling from that setback headed to Brazil for this year's COP climate summit. A push by more than 80 countries for plans to quit fossil fuels ultimately failed, but states did manage a less ambitious agreement to keep the wheels from falling off. So where does that leave shipping? “Not dead yet” is hardly the rallying cry that will spur a generation of bold zero-carbon innovation and investment. We gathered insights from people who were in the thick of the COP negotiations for shipping, and where the IMO discussions leave us and what happens next. Joining Richard on the podcast this week are: Ellie Besley-Gould, chief executive of the Sustainable Shipping Initiative Katharine Palmer, shipping lead at the UN High-Level Climate Champions team Christiaan De Beukelaer, senior lecturer in culture and climate at the University of Melbourne and author of ‘Trade Winds' Beatriz Martinez Romera, associate professor of environmental and climate change law at the University of Copenhagen Subscribe to Lloyd's List: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/products/…oyds-list Learn more about Lloyd's List Intelligence: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/
Chinese Premier Li Qiang has stressed unity, openness and cooperation among the G20 to face global challenges (01:08). Flights on 12 routes between China and Japan have been cancelled under diplomatic tensions (15:06). And negotiations continue on a 28-point U.S. peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, as Europe calls for it to favor Kyiv, and Moscow signals openness to talks without compromising its interests (23:36).
This is the ninth episode of Overcoming Polarisation: Paths to Common Ground, a podcast series from Debating Europe, Friends of Europe's citizen engagement unit. Europe is feeling fractured. Whether it's politics, climate, tech, or trust in institutions, more and more people are feeling left out, unheard, and uncertain about the future. But what if we could flip the script? What if instead of fuelling division, we looked for common ground? In this series, we're diving into the real issues behind polarisation. Economic inequality, climate anxiety, digital disruption, and bringing together voices from across the spectrum. From policymakers, activists, business leaders, and most importantly, citizens' voices via our latest study “Voices for Choices”. In today's show, host Sabina Șancu spoke with MEP Lena Schilling about her agenda for COP30 and her fight to protect the Green Deal. Schilling, the youngest MEP in this mandate, also talks about how youth voices can best be represented at the highest levels of decision-making. In the second part of the episode, Paul Watkinson, former climate negotiator, explains how COP negotiations actually happen and unravels the layers of participants around the decision-making core.

Der große Kredit auf VertrauenEin Standpunkt von Günther Burbach.Europa feiert sich selbst als „Stabilitätsanker“, während es längst auf einem Schuldenberg steht, der jeden Tag wächst. Die Europäische Union hat sich von einem Wirtschaftsprojekt in eine Schuldenmaschine verwandelt und Ursula von der Leyen lächelt tapfer in die Kameras, als wäre alles in bester Ordnung. Doch hinter dem Lächeln bröckelt die Fassade: Die EU lebt über ihre Verhältnisse, ihre Mitgliedstaaten ebenfalls. Und während überall Sparprogramme, Steuererhöhungen und Sozialkürzungen drohen, werden in Brüssel neue Milliardenfonds beschlossen, als wäre Geld eine politische Fantasiegröße.Es ist kaum zu fassen, wie routiniert die EU inzwischen Schulden aufnimmt. Was 2020 als Notlösung begann, ist heute Dauerzustand. Der „NextGenerationEU“-Fonds, einst als einmaliger Corona-Aufbauplan gedacht, läuft längst weiter. Mehr als 320 Milliarden Euro hat die Kommission inzwischen aufgenommen. Bis 2026 sollen es über 800 Milliarden werden.Dazu kommen neue Pläne:Ein Rüstungsfonds im Umfang von bis zu 150 Milliarden Euro,eine Ukraine-Fazilität über 50 Milliarden,und immer neue Kreditlinien unter wohlklingenden Etiketten wie „Green Transition“ oder „Digital Europe“.Die EU, die laut Vertrag eigentlich keine eigenen Schulden machen darf, hat sich selbst in einen kreditfinanzierten Staat verwandelt, nur ohne Wähler, ohne Finanzminister und ohne parlamentarische Kontrolle.Die Schulden laufen über den EU-Haushalt, werden durch die Mitgliedsstaaten garantiert und von den Finanzmärkten begeistert aufgenommen. Warum? Weil Anleger wissen: Wenn etwas schiefläuft, springt Deutschland ein. Die Bonität der Union ist nur so gut, weil Berlin, Den Haag und Wien mit ihrem wirtschaftlichen Gewicht stillschweigend dafür bürgen. Und niemand in Brüssel sagt das laut.Die große Täuschung: BIP statt BonitätDas Rückgrat dieser Schuldenarchitektur ist eine Illusion, die Vorstellung, dass ein hohes Bruttoinlandsprodukt gleichbedeutend mit Zahlungsfähigkeit ist. Das ist ökonomischer Unsinn. Denn das BIP misst nur, wie viel in einem Land produziert wird, nicht, was davon übrig bleibt.Frankreich zum Beispiel: rund 2,8 Billionen Euro Wirtschaftsleistung, aber 3,2 Billionen Euro Schulden, das sind 114 Prozent des BIP.Italien: 2,2 Billionen BIP, 2,9 Billionen Schulden, also 131 Prozent.Griechenland: noch immer über 150 Prozent.Selbst Spanien liegt bei über 110 Prozent.Diese Staaten gelten in Brüssel trotzdem als „verlässliche Beitragszahler“.Warum? Weil sie groß genug sind, um nicht zu fallen und weil die EU bei der Berechnung ihrer Zahlungsfähigkeit nicht fragt, was real an fiskalischem Spielraum bleibt.Das ist, als würde eine Bank Kredite vergeben, weil der Kunde viele Rechnungen schreibt, nicht weil er sie bezahlt.Währenddessen drängt die Kommission auf weitere gemeinsame Programme. Von der Leyen spricht von „Souveränität“ und „Solidarität“, meint aber: Schuldenvergemeinschaftung durch die Hintertür.In der Theorie ist die EU keine Schuldenunion. In der Praxis ist sie längst eine. Mit jedem neuen Fonds wächst der Haftungsrahmen. Der Unterschied: Er taucht nicht in den nationalen Haushalten auf. Deutschland weist aktuell rund 2,6 Billionen Euro Schulden aus, aber die EU-Verpflichtungen stehen dort nicht. Sie gelten als „Eventualverbindlichkeiten“. Politisch bequem, ökonomisch brandgefährlich....https://apolut.net/europa-im-schuldentaumel-von-gunther-burbach/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In August 2022 — just over three years ago — the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. It represented the largest federal investment in renewable energy and climate action in U.S. history. The bill was a historic victory for the climate movement — and, as it turns out, its high-water mark in the United States for the foreseeable future. Since returning to office, President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, rolled back numerous environmental and climate regulations, issued executive orders to pause renewable energy projects, and worked with Congress to dismantle key parts of the IRA.On this episode, Dan Richards speaks with two experts on climate politics at the Watson School: Jeff Colgan, professor of political science and director of Watson's Climate Solutions Lab, and Chris Rea, assistant professor of sociology and expert on climate and environmental governance about the new landscape of climate politics. They discuss the state of the climate movement and green transition in America and around the world, where the climate movement goes from here, and what it all means for our politics and our planet.

European Green Transition PLC (AIM:EGT) CFO Jack Kelly talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's exclusive six-month option agreement with RMC for the potential sale of its Pajala Copper Project in northern Sweden. Kelly explained that RMC is aiming to build a pan-European portfolio of copper and gold assets to benefit from the European Critical Raw Materials Act. The Pajala project, he noted, has strong historical results and aligns well with RMC's ambitions. “We believe RMC will be good partners,” he said, highlighting that copper prices are currently at record highs. This agreement fits into European Green Transition's wider strategy of monetising its mining assets and pivoting towards revenue-generating opportunities in the green economy. Kelly reiterated the company's IPO goal: to bring green projects through value inflection points and then monetise through sales or partnerships. He also discussed the Olserum Rare Earth Project in Sweden, calling it a “district scale” opportunity with significant potential, particularly as Europe currently lacks any active rare earth mines. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including recent Chinese export restrictions and US responses, have intensified the spotlight on rare earth supply chains. Looking forward, the company is assessing downstream opportunities to acquire distressed, revenue-stage businesses within the green transition space, building on the previous success of its management team with hVIVO and Amryt Pharma.

“In the next 25 years, the world will need more copper than in all of human history.”Amendment - I said 3.2 billion kg of copper in opening question, I should have said 320 million kg. In this episode, journalist and author Vince Beiser returns to the podcast to discuss his book Power Metal, a sobering look at the metals that make modern civilization possible — and the extraordinary cost of extracting them.We cover the story of copper — the wire of empire. Beiser reveals why humanity will need more copper in the next 25 years than we've used in all of history, and how that quest is reshaping geopolitics, the environment, and our very ideas of progress. From Chile's drought-stricken Atacama mines to the e-waste yards of Lagos, Nigeria, we follow the real people and places behind our “clean-energy” future — and the dirty truths that power it.We also unpack the rise of deep-sea mining, the billionaires behind it, and the tensions between state power, corporate ambition, and the planet's limits. Along the way we meet Robert Friedland, Gerard Barron, Dan Gertler, and a cast of characters who prove that the world still runs on digging — and that the future will too.If you liked The World in a Grain or stories about how our material world shapes our moral one, this conversation will hit home.Topics: Resource wars, clean-tech paradox, deep-sea mining, copper shortage, China's industrial strategy, EV economics, and how to reduce demand without going backwards.

Even as efforts to transition Appalachia out of coal receive broad policy support, the fate of the landscape is ultimately driven by incumbent actors used to getting what they want. Dr Lindsay Shade and Dr Karen Rignall discuss their research about how legacies of land ownership frustrate equitable and effective transition strategies. While an "Abundance" argument suggests that "the Democratic fetish for legalistic procedure has in so many places, made it impossible to get stuff done," the afterlives of coal provides a stark reminder of the deeper powers that control what happens on the land. Confronting the legacies of landownership may be the only path to meaningful landscape transformation.

Podcast Guest Correction: "At minute 26.41 - 27.55 it is implied that The Nature Conservancy (TNC) acquired all 253,000 acres as a single parcel and that it all passed through Pocahontas Land Company and Heartwood Forestland Fund, and also that The Forestland Group "sold" land to the former. Heartwood Forestland Fund is managed by The Forestland Group and holds land under various subsidiaries. In the three states where TNC brokered land deals for the Cumberland Forest Project, the land is held by various LLC's that TNC controls, all of which purchased land from subsidiaries of either The Forestland Group or Molpus-Woodlands, two different timber investment management organizations (TIMO's). These TIMO's previously bought land and/or timber rights from various coal and natural resource landholding companies in the region, including Pocahontas. As we describe in our paper on p. 8, the trajectory of the land in our case study in East TN is as follows: the land was first consolidated by the 19th century British coal company and land speculation firm "The American Association Ltd," later sold to JM Huber Coal, and then to Molpus-Woodlands, before being acquired by Cumberland Forest LLC, which The Nature Conservancy has a controlling share and manages."
The Congo Basin, the world's second-largest rainforest, is vital to global climate health. But unlike the Amazon, its biggest threat isn't farming—it's the demand for minerals driving the Green Transition. Could the race to electrify the world cost us the Congo? Jaap van der Waarde, WWF's Conservation Director for the region, explores how the demand for rare minerals risks tipping the Basin's fragile ecosystem—and what must change to protect it.

This interview was produced by INET. Robert Pollin presents a compelling case for a global Green New Deal that fights climate change without sacrificing jobs. He explains why the shift to renewable energy is not just technologically possible, but economically beneficial—creating far more jobs than fossil fuels. But without strong labor protections and guaranteed wages, pensions, and reemployment for fossil fuel workers, the transition risks political backlash. Drawing from work in West Virginia and beyond, Pollin outlines the real costs, benefits, and global financing strategies needed to meet the 2050 net-zero target—while ensuring no community is left behind.
What if the race to save the planet is harming the people who protect it? Indigenous advocate Galina Angarova exposes the hidden cost of the green energy transition, where the demand for minerals like nickel and lithium threatens to devastate Indigenous lands and livelihoods. She calls for a radical shift in mindset — one that centers Indigenous leadership, consent and reciprocity as the foundation of a truly just and sustainable future. Hosted on Acast.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Trade Splaining, we unpack the latest twists in the Green Transition—spoiler alert: China's winning. We also explore how chaos is reshaping global trade, why Manchester United's new stadium might cost a fortune (hint: tariffs), and the Swiss government's crackdown on... cheap meat? Our guest, Professor Joost Pauwelyn, joins us to break down 21st-century customs fraud, how trade rules are shifting, and why the WTO may actually survive this era of economic uncertainty. If you've ever wondered how renewable energy, geopolitics, and tariffs intersect—or whether you should still care about composting—this episode is for you.

By law, Puerto Rico has committed to getting 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. But that mandated effort is being threatened by Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a fossil fuel advocate and ally of President Donald Trump's. POLITICO deputy energy editor Gloria Gonzalez breaks down how Puerto Rico's new governor is putting the territory's clean energy transition in doubt. Plus, the Trump administration canceled 21 grants for work on low-carbon construction materials this week. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.

Today's chat is all about the energy transition and how international oil companies are navigating this tricky terrain. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Krista Halttounen, a sustainability researcher and CEO of Halton Ventures, who dives deep into her research on the oil industry's future in a world aiming for lower carbon emissions. We explore some eye-opening insights from her PhD thesis, focusing on how these companies can adapt and perhaps even thrive amidst the green revolution. Krista shares the challenges, opportunities, and the importance of having those tough conversations—because let's face it, if we only talk to those who agree with us, we might miss the chance to bridge gaps and spark real change. So grab your favorite drink, kick back, and let's unravel this complex but super important topic together!Links referenced in this episode:Imperial College LondonKrista's LinkedIn profileJoin me on Substack!

Steve Goreham, Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America, joins Jacki to debrief us on the lackluster COP29 UN Climate Conference where it appears the “green transition” is quickly losing steam, if not shifting into reverse. Could it be that Margaret Thatcher was right? : Socialism ends when the government run out of other people's money? Plus, Mr. Goreham argues that electric buses are not working out in liberal cities and that electric bike fires are on the rise in urban areas. Goreham is the author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure.

Last month Greece unveiled a new and ambitious National Energy and Climate Plan that will almost eliminate electricity sector emissions by 2030. While these steps are massively important for the environment, they are also seen as an opportunity to unshackle Greece's economy and create thousands of jobs.
