Las negociaciones de la COP30 han entrado en su recta final. La presidencia brasileña busca consensos para mejorar la lucha contra el cambio climático, actualmente insuficiente para limitar el aumento de la temperatura global a menos de 2°C. En este contexto, México publicó su muy esperado plan de acción climático de reducción de emisiones. Un plan ambicioso. Con varios meses de retraso, México presentó en la COP 30 de Belém su contribución para luchar contra el cambio climático, las llamadas NDC, que los países se comprometen a reactualizar cada 5 años para cumplir con el Acuerdo de París. “Aunque México contribuye con tan solo 1,3% de las emisiones globales, nos hemos comprometido con metas absolutas de mitigación sin precedentes: entre 364 y 404 millones de carbono equivalente en emisiones netas para 2035”, dijo la Secretaria de Medioambiente mexicana, Alicia Bárcenas. La funcionaria indicó que el país buscará reducir un 50% sus emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero para 2035 para llegar a 0 emisiones netas en 2050, como lo recomiendan los científicos. Para alcanzar esta meta ambiciosa, el país necesitará cambios profundos en su matriz energética, indica Adrián Fernández, experto en política climática del laboratorio de ideas Iniciativa climática de México. “Tenemos uso mayoritario de combustibles fósiles. El otro sector que además está creciendo muy rápido es el transporte, la movilidad. Tenemos que introducir, como el resto del mundo, en el corto plazo, vehículos cada vez más eficientes. Tenemos un fenómeno de los dos o tres últimos años en México de la llegada de muchas marcas de automóviles de China a precios muy competitivos, lo que ha dado lugar a un crecimiento exponencial de las ventas de vehículos híbridos y eléctricos también”.   México sin embargo no cumplió con su meta anterior de reducción de emisiones contaminantes (al igual que muchos otros países). Pero el gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum ha dado señales de un giro en materia de ambición climática. “México desafortunadamente detuvo completamente por seis años, de 2018 a 2024, el avance de las energías renovables. Con el nuevo Gobierno, la doctora Sheinbaum, como es experta en esos temas, de inmediato empezó a tomar medidas políticas invitando al sector privado a nuevos proyecto eólicos y solares. Así que México está regresando por el camino correcto”, agrega Fernández. De momento las trayectorias climáticas de los países del mundo llevaran a una reducción del 12% de las emisiones. Un esfuerzo muy insuficiente aún. La ciencia indica que deberíamos reducir en 60% nuestras emisiones para 2035 para limitar la crisis climática.

La COP30 se está celebrando en Belém (Brasil) y avanza entre alertas de la ONU por el riesgo real de superar el límite de 1,5 °C. En plena negociación sobre financiación y reducción de emisiones, un informe de Greenpeace advierte de que los planes del G-20 para 2035 están muy por debajo de lo necesario para frenar el calentamiento global. En el 24 Horas de RNE hemos hablado sobre ello con Elena Pita, directora de la Oficina Española de Cambio Climático para la Transición Ecológica.Pita ha asegurado que "está siendo una cumbre en la que lo que más llama la atención es la lucha por la ambición" y ha explicado que se está intentando "dar respuesta a la brecha que existe entre lo que los países han incluido en sus planes de reducción de emisiones —las famosas NDC— y lo que la ciencia dice que realmente se necesita". Por último, la experta ha señalado que "lo que tenemos que hacer es seguir por este camino de abandono de los combustibles fósiles, de apuesta por las energías renovables y de eficiencia energética.

Na COP-30, que começa hoje em Belém (PA), o Acordo de Paris completa dez anos. Ele definiu as metas de emissão de cada nação para limitar o aumento da temperatura global a 1,5°C acima dos níveis pré-industriais, as chamadas “Contribuições Nacionalmente Determinadas” (NDC, na sigla em inglês). Neste ano, os signatários do acordo devem revisar suas metas e apresentar novos objetivos. Até agora, no entanto, apenas 67 de um total de 196 países submeteram suas novas metas.

For our first deep dive, The Planned and the Penurious (Energy and Electricity Sector Plan), we were joined by Energy wizard Dylan McConnell! Our second outing, 2 Planned: 2 Penurious (Built Environment), will feature buildings maven Davina Rooney!—While it's no Planned and the Penurious, your intrepid hosts have been following the final laps of the NDC Grand Prix as a flurry of countries have raced (?) to lodge their 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. China's commitment to cut emissions 7–10% below peak levels by 2035 is dissected: an under promise, over deliver scenario? Almost certainly based on their track record. India is progressing through the pack, Europe stuck in the pit lane with internal negotiations, the US is doing doughnuts in the car park, and what on earth do we make of the corner-cutting of Russia's retrograde move? And what about the two-thirds of countries still in the garage that haven't even gotten around to submitting a climate pledge yet? Is this Trump Administration dirty pool? Luke thinks maybe, Tennant is sceptical, but it certainly makes for an interesting COP and raises questions about the Paris Agreement's “ratchet” mechanism and the consequences (or lack thereof) for backsliding or just ghosting the party altogether.

Eleven risks receive deeper analysis, assessed across three warming scenarios (1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C) and three time horizons (2025, 2050, 2090).

China recently released its official NDC, or Nationally Determined Contribution document, laying out a commitment to reduce carbon emissions ‘from peak' by 7-10% by 2035. The document was widely seen as disappointing. Now that the NDC and the initial reactions are out, it's time to take a step back and evaluate the bigger picture. What does this target really mean? What does the NDC signal about China's 15th Five-Year Plan, or for its major emitting sectors such as coal power or coal-to-chemicals? What impact did climate diplomacy or weakened/withdrawn climate commitments from other economies have on China's NDC? Is there a chance that China will use other policies to ‘enhance its ambition'?

For COP30, the international climate talks in Brazil in November, the countries of the world are supposed to roll out their new Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs: their commitments to cut emissions. China's NDC is particularly eagerly awaited: it is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Its NDC has been described as the most important document that will be published this year. In this edition of the Energy Gang, recorded at New York University, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe (Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab) explore the security, technology and climate implications of China's energy policy. They are joined by someone who knows a lot about China's role in the energy transition: David Sandalow, who is the Inaugural Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. He talks through China's rapid clean energy rollout, from solar to EVs, and its implications for the race for dominance in AI. We also welcome back Joseph Webster of the Atlantic Council, who studies China's energy system and the implications for geopolitics.China's energy surge in recent years has been staggering. The country added 217 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2023, and kept growing into 2024 and 2025. It is also leading the world in batteries and electric vehicles. Joseph explains how China's energy investments intersect with military tech, particularly in AI and batteries, positioning China as a global leader in energy and technology innovation. Is the US struggling to keep up?Then, late drama! While we were recording, China finally released its new NDC, pledging a relatively modest 7-10% emissions reduction from peak levels. Some other countries and climate campaigners had hoped for more ambition. But the numbers involved are still staggering. The NDC sets a target of expanding wind and solar capacity to 3,600 GW by 2035, six times 2020 levels, and three times the entire generation capacity of the US, in all technologies. Ed, Amy, David and Joseph react to the news in real time and debate what it means for energy in the US and beyond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Divisão de europeus sobre metas climáticas simboliza riscos à COP30 em Belém

A pouco mais de dois meses da 30ª Conferência do Clima da ONU, em Belém, os europeus não conseguem se entender sobre quais objetivos climáticos vão apresentar à comunidade internacional. A hesitação europeia cristaliza um contexto internacional desfavorável para a pauta ambiental, apesar dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas estarem, a cada ano, mais evidentes. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em Paris O prazo oficial termina no fim de setembro e, até o momento, apenas 31 nações do mundo submeteram os seus compromissos. Um dos principais objetivos da COP30, sob a presidência brasileira, é que os países atualizem as suas promessas de descarbonização no horizonte dos próximos 10 anos. Com base nestes compromissos, será possível ter mais clareza se ainda é viável limitar o aquecimento global a 1,5°C até o fim deste século – a maior ambição do Acordo de Paris. Na Europa, o impasse acontece porque, ao mesmo tempo em que o bloco consolida a sua nova Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada (NDC, na sigla em inglês), a ser entregue às Nações Unidas, os europeus também negociam os seus objetivos de redução de emissões de CO2 até 2040. Só que, em vez de a decisão sobre estes objetivos ocorrer em setembro, em âmbito ministerial, a discussão foi adiada para o fim de outubro, no próximo Conselho Europeu. Caberá aos chefes de Estado e de Governo dos 27 países chegarem, ou não, a um consenso. A negociação não será fácil e o acordo precisará ser aprovado por unanimidade. “Se não der certo, corremos o risco de termos um bloqueio institucional da questão climática, a apenas algumas semanas da COP, o que significaria corrermos o risco de chegarmos a Belém de mãos vazias”, resume Niel Makarov, especialista em políticas climáticas europeias e diretor do think tank Strategic Perspectives, em Bruxelas. “Isso mancharia a nossa credibilidade internacional na questão climática, justo a Europa, que sempre teve uma postura de vanguarda nisso. Nós estaríamos extremamente atrasados.”  Negacionismo reforçado A saída dos Estados Unidos do Acordo de Paris voltou a reforçar o negacionismo climático mundo afora, com impacto também no bloco europeu. Países como Hungria, Polônia e Eslováquia se opõem à meta de diminuição de 90% das emissões até 2040, como recomendado pela Comissão Europeia. O objetivo sinalizaria que o bloco estará no bom caminho para atingir a neutralidade de carbono até 2050. Entretanto, países como a França e a Alemanha, locomotivas da Europa, desejam mais clareza sobre o que exatamente entrará na conta da descarbonização e quais investimentos serão deslocados para a transição, por meio de uma política industrial verde. “O presidente da França caiu na tentação de levar o assunto para o Conselho Europeu, apesar de todos os riscos envolvidos: de chantagem dos países negacionistas, e de sinalizar uma confusão para os atores econômicos envolvidos nessa agenda”, diz Makarov. “A França está brincando com fogo, porque ela pode acabar contribuindo para reforçar os países que querem bloquear toda a agenda climática – e isso no ano de aniversário de 10 anos do Acordo de Paris.” O temor dos observadores do processo é que, se não houver acordo sobre a meta ambiciosa para 2040, o objetivo intermediário de 2035 acabe enfraquecido. A Polônia propõe que a NDC europeia prometa uma redução de 66% das emissões na próxima década – e não 72%, valor mais realista à luz do objetivo de -90% em 2040. Incertezas abalam confiança de investimentos verdes No meio empresarial, as incertezas sobre a ambição europeia já afetam a confiança dos investidores, indica Caroline Néron, diretora-geral de organização Impact France, que reúne 30 mil empresas comprometidas com a descarbonização da economia do país. “Quanto mais a dinâmica verde é fragilizada, mais o engajamento dos atores privados, mas também públicos, também se fragiliza”, afirma. “Nós queremos que a direção da Europa se estabilize, e que a dinâmica que tinha sido lançada se consolide. Ela foi abalada por tantas idas e vindas, ultimamente.” Célia Agostini, diretora-geral do Cleantech for France, incubadora de start-ups e fundos de investimentos em tecnologias de baixo carbono, pondera que os questionamentos levantados pela França são legítimos, já que a grande protagonista da transição energética no continente são os produtos chineses. A Comissão Europeia avalia que investimentos de pelo menos € 400 bilhões são necessários por ano para alavancar a indústria verde no bloco. “O que conta é que essa transição seja feita com equipamentos europeus e não seja dependente da China para os veículos elétricos ou os painéis solares, nem dependente dos Estados Unidos para a energia, com a importação de gás natural. Como vamos traçar essa trajetória com atores europeus?”, indaga.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 42-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 24,113 on turnover of $3.4-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Monday but bounced off early losses to hold above the 24,000-point mark, as late-session bargain hunting in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing helped the broader market recover. Selling was heavier in AI hardware developers, but financial heavyweights outperformed the broader market, with the sector index up 0.94-percent. Taipei District Court Questions Ko and Others The Taipei District Court is questioning former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-zhe and others connected with the Core Pacific City case today. Ko and former deputy mayor Pong Cheng-sheng (彭振聲) appeared in court today, with Peng questioned as a witness by prosecutors and defense lawyers. Prosecutors have accused Ko and nearly a dozen others of corruption and embezzelement, seeking a 28-and-a-half year sentence for Ko. Ko's lawyers have accused prosecutors of using "improper questioning" against Peng, and of pressuring him to testify against Ko. (NS) New NDC chief highlights AI as key to Taiwan's new economy Newly-appointed National Development Council Minister Yeh Chun-hsien says he will actively work to advance Taiwan's industrial innovation, and highlighted artificial intelligence as key to the country's new economy. Yeh, a research fellow at Academia Sinica's Institute of Economics, officially took over from Liu Chin-ching, who resigned (辭職) for health reasons. The new NDC chief said he will focus on the overall goals of the National Development Plan which prioritizes an innovation-driven economy, balanced development across Taiwan, improved governance, and talent investment. He says the NDC will also continue to promote the government's Five Trusted Industry Sectors, that's semiconductors, AI, military, security and surveillance, and next-generation communications. Without elaborating, Yeh said he plans 10 new AI infrastructure initiatives as the latter is central to Taiwan's new economy, and the NDC will continue to promote its NT$10 billion fund to support industrial transformation.

The move partially reverses a ban imposed by (推行) the previous government in 2018 to cool the housing market. The adjustment applies only to a small number of wealthy foreigners who hold a residency visa reintroduced in April for those investing millions of dollars in local businesses.

Host Matt Bell explores the pivotal role of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in shaping climate policy and investment strategies. He interviews four experts to get their insights. Joanna MacGregor, a senior advisor at the UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), explains how NDCs have evolved into comprehensive national climate plans that can drive economic growth and resilience. Antonina Scheer, Policy Fellow at the London School of Economics and Research Project Manager at the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre, discusses the challenges of financing climate action in emerging markets and introduces a tool that helps assess the credibility and ambition of NDCs. Pablo Carvajal, Director in the Climate Change and Sustainability Services team at EY UKI, shares insights from his work with governments and banks, highlighting the disconnect between policy targets and business implementation. Claudia Gollmeier, Managing Director at Colchester Global Investors, emphasizes the importance of investors considering NDCs and the rise of innovative financial instruments like sustainability-linked bonds. Together, the guests underscore the urgency of making NDCs investable and inclusive, involving businesses and investors in their design and execution. Despite delays in countries submitting their NDC plans, they remain optimistic about the potential of NDCs to unlock financial flows and accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon economy. NDCs are evolving into powerful economic tools that can drive growth, resilience and clean energy transitions. Businesses and investors play a crucial role in implementing NDCs, even though governments set the targets. Transparent information and innovative financial products are helping bridge the gap between climate ambition and investable action. @2025 Ernst & Young LLP

In the second installment of our 3-part KeySource Series on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, Andrew Crawford, VP of Sales & Marketing at KeySource, joins Todd Eury to explore one of the most urgent priorities for regional and national chain pharmacies — supplier alignment as a driver of strategic growth. With NACDS TSE right around the corner, this conversation takes a hard look at the pressures chains face today — from unpredictable PBM reimbursements and restrictive PVA contracts to the operational ripple effects of even a single NDC disruption. At chain scale, where central fill and automation keep thousands of prescriptions moving daily, stability, flexibility, and strategic control are non-negotiable. In this episode, we cover: The State of Chains: How PBM volatility, slim PVA margins, and supply continuity challenges are reshaping priorities. The Shift Toward Supplier Alignment: Why leading chains are moving beyond rigid structures to build strategic, responsive partnerships. How KeySource Supports Chain Growth: From NDC continuity to opportunistic buys, primary award support, and autonomy beyond PVA constraints. Strategic Support Beyond the Product: The downstream impact of supply instability — and how proactive supplier partnerships mitigate risk. Looking Ahead to NACDS TSE: How to turn supplier relationships into a competitive edge. Whether you manage a regional chain or lead procurement for a national brand, this episode unpacks the supplier strategies that can protect your operations, enable growth, and strengthen your competitive position in a volatile market.

In face of the climate emergency, integrating social protection into countries' nationally determined contributions (NDCs) is essential for supporting vulnerable communities, advancing low-carbon transitions, and unlocking climate finance to expand adaptive social protection systems. With many countries set to update these critical climate instruments under the scope of the Paris Agreement, this is a critical moment to explore the topic.  In this episode, we examine how social protection is being woven into national climate policies, with a spotlight on Cambodia's pioneering approach—not only mentioning social protection but recognising it as a distinct sector in its new NDC 3.0. We delve deeper to discuss what it takes to bridge climate action and social protection, from building resilience and inclusive adaptation, to unlocking climate finance and coordinating across ministries.  Meet our guest:   Dr. Matthew Walsham, Social Protection Specialist (Climate), Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO).  Mr. Sophornreaksmey Sreng, Deputy Secretary General, General Secretariat for the National Social Protection Council, Kingdom of Cambodia.  For our Quick Wins segment, we are joined by Sayanti Sengupta, Technical Advisor for Social Protection & Climate at the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, expanding on concrete steps countries can take to advance the critical agenda of integrating social protection into NDCs.   References:  Publication | Integration social protection in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)  Publication | Weathering the storm: poverty, climate change and social protection: Report of the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights  Database |  Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Registry | UNFCCC

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're taking listeners on a whistlestop tour of several big summer events in Europe that will shape sustainability discussions on the road to COP30, the UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil in November 2025.  We cover key outcomes from the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France — including progress toward a Marine Biodiversity Treaty.  We talk to Beth Burks, Director on the Sustainable Finance Markets team at S&P Global Ratings, about her takeaways from annual climate meetings in Bonn, Germany.   “If COP is like the big show every year, then Bonn is the dress rehearsal,” Beth explains.   Beth also shares highlights from London Climate Action Week, which in 2025 grew significantly to include more than 700 events and more than 45,000 attendees.   In the episode we also speak to Tom Beloe, Director of the Sustainable Finance Hub at the UN Development Programme, or UNDP. Tom shares big takeaways from the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, or FFD4, in Sevilla Spain. The conference took place for the first time in a decade this summer and centered around financing for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs.   A unifying theme across all these events is the importance of multilateralism to address sustainability challenges that transcend borders, like climate change, nature loss and ocean conservation. Across these events, we also hear about the rising role the private sector plays in addressing and financing solutions to these challenges.   “I think we're seeing over the last 10 years a very much increasing trend of private sector participation,” Tom tells us. “Frankly, the discussions of finance that happen in these conferences are a little bit meaningless if we're not also convening with the largest financial institutions in the world.”  Learn about Climate Transition Assessments from S&P Global here.
