The race to zero emissions is really one to be won, with the first suppliers of clean energy and materials being rewarded
Who wants one? Repost and will pick 5 randomly to give away a copy each. 💚
Can't wait? The book is out tomorrow. Get yours akshatrathi.com/book

Don’t miss out on your virtual ticket to 🇨🇦's preeminent climate conference, Building Momentum Toward Net Zero, with @NZAB_Canada.
We will have a great line-up of climate experts including: @clequere, @AsstSecENR, James Jenkins, @celyeste & Jonathan Price

New PBO report misses the point. It shows the costs of carbon pricing relative to a scenario that simply does not exist: a world where Canada does nothing about climate change, and faces no consequences for doing so. Short🧵

The race for capital is on! The 🇨🇦 govt expects annual climate investment to have to rise from $15B to $125B, and it can't do it alone or without judicious leveraging. Our new @ClimateInstit report gives 7 recommendations on how to best mobilize money 🧵nitter.gq/ClimateInstit/status/1…
Ahead of President Biden’s visit and the #budget2023, our latest research shows how 🇨🇦 can compete in the 🌎 energy transition and unlock billions of investment for clean growth *without* matching the scale of public spending in the U.S. 🧵 #cdnpoli

Namely, Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation (institution balancing planet and profit), the UK's Contracts for Difference (instrument for price certainty), Norway's Longship CCS (project with strategic, holistic govt support), and the US I.R.A. (budgeting 💵 with 🎯s)
To learn more about the current state of project finances, and just how much attention will need to be put towards shaping financial flows, check out the scoping paper by @jaredaforman on the barriers faced by first-of-kind clean fuel projects in Canada. nitter.gq/ClimateInstit/status/1…
Clean fuels development—including hydrogen and advanced biofuels—can help hard-to-abate sectors decarbonize, create new economic opportunities, and attract private investment, but to get off the ground they often need targeted public support.

Clean fuel projects will likely play an important role in Canada's energy transition, but there are many barriers standing in their way.
I unpacked these barriers in the latest scoping paper for @ClimateInstit. Here are the 🔑 takeaways 🧵

Important thread here. New work from @AtmosphericFund, with modeling by @PowerAdvisory, shows going big on gas is a costly path for Ontario's power system. As we argued in The Big Switch, we have the tech to make our grids bigger, cleaner and smarter. climateinstitute.ca/reports/…
New Report🚨 Ontario has affordable options to meet growing #electricity demand without ramping up #fossilfuels. Research identifies multiple pathways to a modern & reliable grid, but immediate planning & investments are critical. #ONpoli

🧵: Canada has been behind our peer countries for many years on adaptation, but with today’s release of the #NationalAdaptationStrategy, we’re starting to catch up. The strategy is a step towards a safer and more resilient Canada. 1/ #cdnpoli #adaptation climateinstitute.ca/news/fir…
The nice thing about working in the climate space is that measuring emissions SHOULD be relatively objective, but too often the figures are incomplete and inaccessible - join us as we democratize data for our pathway to hitting our 2030 goals!
The countdown is on! On Nov 9, the @ClimateInstit launches 440 Megatonnes, a data-driven resource tracking Canada’s climate policy progress.
