Smart banking is green banking! 🧠💵 #BlackRock once positioned itself as a leader in sustainable investing. However one of Europe’s largest pension funds has pulled billions from BlackRock in part because of concerns over the firm's voting record on sustainability issues.

Eight Amazon nations have joined forces to back Brazil’s pioneering Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF)! 🌳 A financing instrument to incentivize preventing #deforestation. The resolution did not mention oil production in the region. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/08/23/a...

🌍💚 Reminder! Climate solutions are often human health and well-being solutions, too. New research shows just how deadly local and global warming can be due to tropical deforestation. Halting #deforestation is an emergency brake solution that benefits both people and the planet. @carbonbrief.org

According to a new analysis from @ember-energy.org , Africa is showing signs of an impending solar boom! Imports of solar panels have increased 60% over the last 12 months across the continent as a whole, with 20 countries reaching record levels. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

"Net zero” sounds like a finish line. But in reality, buildings marketed as net zero still produce emissions. Certifications often improve design﹣and that’s worth celebrating ﹣but they don’t mean buildings are emission-free. Read the full article ⬇️ by @amandadsmith.bsky.social

This graphic illustrates a core issue with “net zero” claims: offsets may balance the equation on paper, but don’t eliminate the most difficult emissions tied to construction materials, energy systems, and building ops 🏡💨. 👉 Read the full insights post by @amandadsmith.bsky.social: bit.ly/4mwRtTp

Emissions in China are falling so far this year! While not falling fast enough, it's an encouraging sign to see the world's largest emitter starting to turn the tide. 🌊 @carbonbrief.org @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-rec... #cleanenergy

⚡ Big milestone in Minnesota: regulators just approved the state’s first stand-alone battery storage project: a 150-MW system that will store solar and wind power and deliver it back to the grid when it’s needed most. But this is part of a much bigger story… www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Live in the U.S. and are EV-curious? Now is the time to try one out! Leases are at historic lows — in some cases under $100/month. And don’t forget: EVs are also cheaper to run than gas cars, so you’re saving money and cutting emissions. 👉 Read the full story on @bloomberg.com

Project Drawdown wants to know … why is climate change important to you? Why do you care about solving the most challenging problem the world has ever faced? According to the World Economic Forum, 89% of people care, so chances are you are one of them! Let us know ⬇️ Share a pic. Tag #whyclimate

Great reporting by @fieseler.bsky.social for @canarymedia.com on the US disregard for international treaty negotiations on deep sea mining and the potential international and environmental repercussions.

The US under #trump is currently planning to push ahead with #deepseamining much to the ire of almost every other country on Earth in attendance at the International Seabed Authority (#ISA) negotiations. Including China. Protecting our deep-sea ocean floors is critical for our climate.

Make America Healthy Again (aka #MAHA) wants farmers to produce healthier food, but the climate crisis and Trump’s energy policies make that harder. "Climate change is creating a vicious cycle — lower crop yields push farmers to clear more land, which worsens the climate crisis," - Paul West, Ph.D.

The deep sea is a vital carbon sink, but it’s under threat. Bottom trawling & deep-sea mining could release massive carbon stores, worsening the climate crisis 🌀. The burden of proof should be on those exploiting, not protecting, these ecosystems. 📘 Read our latest by Christina Richardson, Ph.D.

Local success story! The solar industry is playing a role in helping revitalize a rural county in Georgia. ☀️ "Samsung Solar and Invenergy’s Americus Solar will contribute a combined $700 million in investments and 700 indirect jobs." #solarpower #renewables #revitalization #community

Circularity and clean energy go together like peanut butter and jelly 😋 Congrats to the team at @arizonastateuni.bsky.social and Solar Cycle for leading this work! #circularity #solarpower

Decarb work in #banking continues behind the scenes 💸🤫 "Financing provided to oil, gas and coal projects by Wall Street’s top six banks fell 25% to $73 billion this year through Aug. 1 from the same period in 2024" @bloomberglp.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The momentum is unstoppable⚡️ The @iea.org says renewables will overtake coal as the world’s top electricity source by 2026 at the latest. Driven by booming wind & solar growth and rising global electricity demand 📈🌍 @carbonbrief.org www.carbonbrief.org/iea-renewabl...

🌍 Meet Dr. Amanda Bielawski — the newest member of the Project Drawdown team! 🎉 She brings deep experience in impact strategy, corporate engagement & sustainability leadership from roles at Pacific Institute, UN Global Compact & more. Welcome, @amandabielawski.bsky.social ! 💚 #ProjectDrawdown

Solutions on solutions! Heat pumps + climate-friendly refrigerants = Another excellent option for consumers. 👏 "Mitsubishi has announced that it's following global trends and legislation by updating its heat pump lineup with more climate-friendly refrigerants." www.newsbreak.com/the-cool-dow...

Trump's "AI Action Plan" calls for building data centers fast by weakening environmental safeguards and ramping up fossil fuels. 💻 @amandadsmith.bsky.social explains that if left unchecked, consumers could be left footing the bill and bearing the environmental consequences. @apnews.com #aienergy

We love to see it! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A new report finds that: “Community-based strategies yield meaningful, scalable, and durable results when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and show strong returns on investment (ROI).” Read the full report from Redstone Strategy Group 🔗 bit.ly/4mif8q4 #actlocal

Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal. Five years ago, that number was essentially zero. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/b...

🌍 Want to make your job a climate job? From rethinking office catering to pushing for fossil-free retirement plans, there are powerful ways to take climate action right where you work, no matter your role. Here are 5 concrete actions you can take to make a real impact.👇

When it comes to regenerative agriculture, “We’re finding that the results of real field trials, replicated at scale, aren’t producing the results we see in the movies.” - Jon Foley, @globalecoguy.bsky.social @sentientmedia.org

“If you want to reduce climate change in the short term, it’s really important for us to focus on short-lived climate pollutants, which include methane. It’s also important for us to focus on protecting natural ecosystems,” - Emily Cassidy, PD Fellow @enviroem.bsky.social @sentientmedia.org

More EV news: Electric vehicle startup Rivian announced Thursday it will establish an East Coast headquarters in Atlanta www.ajc.com/news/2025/07...

Kia’s giant factory in Georgia is getting a huge hail protection canopy that will double as a solar plant. insideevs.com/news/765422/...

The United Nations' highest court on Wednesday told wealthy countries they must comply with their international commitments to curb pollution or risk having to pay compensation to nations hard hit by climate change. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

"Industry magazine Variety called his tour cancellation the first ever by a major artist because of climate change-induced weather disasters." Looks like the Steve Miller Band won't be "flying like an eagle" this summer. www.startribune.com/steve-miller...

“I’m not really convinced that nuclear is going to be the big savior for climate change that some people would advocate,” said @globalecoguy.bsky.social for @atmosmag.bsky.social atmos.earth/who-pays-the...

More #goodclimatenews "The MeyGen tidal energy project off the coast of Scotland has four turbines producing 1.5 megawatts each, enough electricity collectively to power up to 7,000 homes annually." www.theenergymix.com/tidal-power-... @theenergymix.com

Solar is top electricity source in CA ☀️ "Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) ... shows that in the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas." pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/07/09/s...

#GoodNews: Solar power is booming in Pakistan. Its share of electricity generation more than tripled in just three years, climbing from four percent in 2021 to 14 percent in 2024 — one of the highest percentages in Asia. e360.yale.edu/features/pak...

The passage of the big __😮‍💨__ bill is not going to stop climate progress in the US. While it does mean we have a bigger hill to climb, the long term future of energy will inevitably be green. @sfchronicle.com @globalecoguy.bsky.social reminds us it’s not game over, it’s game on.

Year over year, we are continually pleased with our decision to work with Carbon Collective. Their climate-positive 401(k) plans have been a win for our employees. 💰🌲 But don't just take our word, @jigarshahdc.bsky.social shares his thoughts below: www.linkedin.com/pulse/finall...
