Transportation is one of the top carbon emitters and much of it is caused by shipping stuff to us and air travel. So, to reduce global warming, we need to transform these sectors. How? Listen to this fascinating panel from the UN COP26 conference in November with the heads of sustainability/ESG (environment, social, governance) from Ikea, Jet Blue, Amazon & others, moderated by the Aspen Institute. You'll hear: What these companies are doing to reduce their shipping footprints. What alternative fuels work in airplanes today and what's coming soon. How you can make choices that reduce shipping energy use and emissions. What these companies need from regulators to reduce their emissions.

November 5/6 in Glasgow saw some of the largest political mobilisations since the onslaught of the Covid pandemic. The catalyst was the bosses' summit, COP26, a forum to find ‘solutions' to limit global warming, but more importantly, to save the capitalist system. The first protest on the Friday saw a march of up to 20,000 strong – which was an overwhelmingly youthful demonstration organised by Fridays for Future, with a huge openness to the ideas that a systemic change to the profit-driven rottenness of capitalism is necessary. The Saturday demo, organised by the COP Coalition, was a larger demonstration of around 70,000 and not so youthful, but nevertheless the widespread lack of faith in COP to deliver a workable solution for the vast majority of humanity was clear to see. This episode is a recording of the post demo meeting organised by the Socialist Party's sister organisation - Socialist Party Scotland and the CWI. We hear from Matt Dobson from Socialist Party Scotland and Mark Best from the Socialist Party. After tens of thousands marched and walked out in Glasgow and across the world in response to the failure of the UN COP26 summit, many are discussing what next for the climate strike movement. The situation is critical. Major capitalist powers, despite all their rhetoric around the Glasgow Climate pact, are stepping up oil production and using reserves to combat an energy price hike. How is mass pressure going to be built to fight for the aspirations of the climate movement when the capitalists meet again in Egypt for COP27? The environmental crisis wrought by unchecked capitalist greed is just one of the clearest examples of how the that system offers no future for the vast majority of humanity. Workers and youth are increasingly drawing that conclusion. We would appeal to them to discuss with us, join us and fight for the socialist transformation of society.

The UN CoP26 climate change summit threw an international focus on global warming and what needs to be done to mitigate its worst potential impacts – but was the conference a success or a failure? And what needs to happen next to avert catastrophe? Climate campaigners Sophie Geoghegan and Kim O'Dowd join Paul Newman to reflect on the outcomes of CoP26 and discuss what needs to happen next.

The UN COP26 climate summit in Glasgow has come to a close and it has been declared a success from the Indian perspective. India got its way through a last-minute change in wording about coal, but has been accused of weakening efforts to end coal power. Is the criticism towards India warranted? During the pandemic last year, when the lockdown was clamped and movement restricted, small business owners were looking for ways to stay afloat. And so were microfinance institutions which lend money to them. With a sharp dip in lending and a rise in the number of small units defaulting on payments, the microfinance sector had to weather a storm. As economic activities are gathering momentum again, how is the microfinance sector is faring now? After downgrading Indian equities recently, given their rich valuations, Morgan Stanley sees emerging markets ‘struggling' for returns in calendar year 2022. They also expect only three per cent upside to their December 2022 target. What is the brokerage's stance on each country and on which sectors is it most bearish? The long queues of vehicles dotting the highways at toll plazas have now vanished. And so are the travails of buying a pass at every booth. Vehicles now zip past the boom barriers as the hassle of purchasing tokens has now given way to smooth ride. Thanks to the FASTag technology. A small sticker glued on the vehicle's windshield has changed the way we travelled on national highways. In October this year, the toll tax collection through the newly-introduced FASTag technology hit an all-time high of Rs 3,356 crore. So, what exactly is FASTag and how does it work? Listen to these and more in today's Business Standard Morning Show podcast.

Ahead of the UN COP26 summit, many governments have revisited their Nationally Determined Contribution or NDC pledges to reduce national emissions between now and 2030. We developed a map visualizes the change between each government's revised pledge and its previous commitment, based on estimated further reductions in 2030 greenhouse gas emissions. We decided to talk about that map today. And Hertz bought a lot of cars from Tesla.
One Climate Fix—Getting Rid of Heat by Dancing to the Beat. That story and more on H2O Radio's weekly news report about water. Headlines: Ahead of the UN COP26 climate conference next week, leaked documents show some countries are trying to undermine its efforts. Four U.S. government agencies released reports last week about the perilous effects of climate change on the country's national security. A town experiencing extreme drought is considering adding more data centers, which use enormous amounts of water. Going to Glasgow? Hit the dance floor and your body heat could reduce global warming.

We are heavily assuming if you are reading this article you are already well educated on the nutrition and climate science that supports grass-fed, pasture-raised beef and lamb from New Zealand. But to also go on to assume that just because consumers may be wealthy and educated, doesn't necessarily mean they will choose to purchase red meat as often as they once did. They have been afforded the privilege of having a food identity. You can throw all of the complex science at the human health vs planetary health debate or the plant vs meat debate, but it will mean nothing without cohesive global storytelling as this week's guests from around the world highlight. Over the course of 3 months, Sarah Perriam has been collecting interviews from experts across the globe for this very special Opinion Maker episode to try and answer the burning question for New Zealand's sheep & beef farmers, "How does meat compete with the negative narrative globally?" This episode features : Prof. Frederic Leroy, Professor of Food Science and Biotechnology Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, presented at both the 2019 Red Meat Sector Conference (NZ) and presented at Multiscapes, the international virtual conference in 2021 (NZ) and explains the complex, binary discussion surrounding meat. Fiona Windle, Head Nutritionist at Beef + Lamb NZ who highlights the ever-evolving narrative towards meat that lacks nutritional importance when discussing climate change off the back of the Barnsley report published in 2021 that illustrates substituting meat from the average diet would lead to only a 3-4% decrease in an individual's lifetime global warming impact. Anne Mottet, Sustainable livestock development at United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation, France, discusses balancing the Sustainable Development Goals of nutritional needs as discussed at the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit with the climate needs on the table at 2021 UN COP26. Kate Gower-James, Aitkens Ranch based in San Francisco about the US Wholefoods consumer, the trends of food identity, trusting your meat marketer to keep up with the latest consumer trends, and how positioning accredited storytelling on meat is important. Laura Ryan, the co-founder of the Global Meat Alliance, has rallied the global red meat community to work together on the common challenges, collaborating through COVID in the lead-up to COP26. Dave Courtney, Silver Fern Farms chief customer officer discussing their research and pilot for carbon-neutral meat and regenerative agriculture and how NZ sheep & beef farmers can prepare themselves for these trends.
In this special New York Climate Week episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore how the built environment – new building construction plus existing offices, apartment blocks, airports and other structures – is responsible for nearly 40% of all global carbon dioxide emissions, and what it will take to decarbonize this vast sector. In the episode, we interview three experts on the subject: Mark Reynolds, CEO of Mace Group, a large construction company focused on making buildings more sustainable; John Mandyck, CEO of a non-profit in New York City called Urban Green Council; and Dana Schneider, director of energy and sustainability at the Empire State Realty Trust, which owns the Empire State Building in New York, an iconic structure that has made significant headway in lowering its carbon footprint. Lowering the carbon footprint of the built environment is a massive task. Although building emissions reached their highest level in 2019, many cities have not yet embarked on sizable decarbonization plans. Some landlords could have to spend millions to retrofit buildings. Construction companies are under pressure to use less carbon-intensive materials. Homeowners are being prodded to spend money to make homes energy efficient. And investors with face the challenge of assessing the transition risk. That helps to explain why at least three panel discussions at this week's NY Climate Week were devoted to carbon emissions from the built environment, and why the big UN COP26 climate conference this fall will similarly dedicate an entire day to the subject.
