🎙 With #COP27 well underway, @DavidBanmiller & Pollination's @RickSaines discuss what needs to be done to ensure companies and governments stay on track to achieving #netzero in our latest @InterchangeShow episode. Listen now: okt.to/4Xo9KA
Enjoyed talking to Audrey and David re @COP26 and what Article 6 means for #ClimateAction
@COP26 in #Glasgow agreed new global #carbon market rules. But what do these new rules mean for governments and investors and the fight against #climatechange? @audreytrp and I talk to @RickSaines, partner at Pollination Group, to find out. str.sg/3xBj

I can tell you from our experience in California that you can have the best environmental plans, but if you don’t have the courage to stand up to the special interests when they threaten you, sue you, and spend a fortune against you, you have nothing.
Thanks Amy. It’s my honor to serve with such a great group of Directors.
A big thank you to TCR's brand new Board of Directors and Council of Jurisdictions members! It is a huge privilege to work with the these climate leaders throughout North America to advance solutions that address the paramount challenges of the global climate crisis.

I am excited to be a guest on NPR’s @WBEZreset today to join @SashaAnnSimons and @KarenWeigert for a conversation on the Biden Climate Summit and US Climate leadership. Tune in around 12:30pm for the discussion!
We cannot let the “new normal” become acceptable. Everyone on this planet has a stake in its future and power to shape our collective response to the climate emergency. My heart, once again, goes out to my dear Fijian friends.
On this same day in 2012, Fiji was enduring Cyclone Evan.
Since then, we’ve been battered by 12 more cyclones — two of which (Winston and Yasa) are now jockeying for our hemisphere’s strongest-ever storm in history.
This is not normal.
This is a climate emergency.

"The messaging that President Trump gave to Americans and the world when he left the hospital... is probably the most reckless, deadly piece of information I have ever heard," says Rick Bright, ousted vaccine director who filed a whistleblower complaint. "This virus is deadly."

After former Pres. Barack Obama called Pres. Trump’s coronavirus response “an absolute chaotic disaster,” @RahmEmanuel says Obama “has been incredibly restrained over three and a half years” of Trump’s presidency: “He said what he said.” abcn.ws/2CcjBVI

Pretty tough smack down by @JoeBiden campaign of @realDonaldTrump on his kid gloves handling of China around the virus, hanging Trump with his own words and tweets.

This morning's news of another rise in unemployment claims—on top of the millions already filed—is devastating. We have to make sure those affected get the benefits they deserve, but we can't stop there.
I'm announcing two new policies to help Americans get the relief they need:

I know Bernie well. He’s a good man, a great leader, and one of the most powerful voices for change in our country. And it’s hard to sum up his contributions to our politics in one, single tweet. So I won’t try to. joe.link/34maUXC

You can have a cover-up without witnesses, but you cannot have a trial.
Will four Republican Senators have the courage to rise above partisanship & vote for a full and fair trial?

I share @antonioguterres disappointment in the devastating gap separating the world economy from decisive emissions cuts.
We’ll be back come #COP26 with immovable expectations for leaders in politics and business to act. We must achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Zero excuses.
I am disappointed with the results of #COP25.
The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation & finance to tackle the climate crisis.
But we must not give up, and I will not give up.

So rewarding to hear opening keynote at #SIF19 by Prime Minister of Fiji talking about their rural electrification fund that was sparked at @SunValleyInst 2016 #SunValleyForum thanks to the #climate leadership of @RickSaines @LeoDiCaprio Foundation and Government of Fiji! #COP25

“COP25 must deliver a simple but rigorous rule book for Article 6 which is based on transparent numerical accounting, recognises both natural and industrial sinks and supports and encourages large scale transactions”. See our opening press statement here: ieta.org/page-18192/8153046
