V positive step forward as @10DowningStreet have decided #UK is to be the first country to go further on #TCFD = Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure ...

Govt will consult on proposals following amendments to #PensionSchemesBill we laid last night ⏩ #Progress 1/
This amendment imposes requirements on trustees + managers of certain occupational pension schemes as regards taking into account the effects of climate change / publishing information relating to those effects - takes #TCFD to next level 2/
Massive step forward in battle against #climatechange.
Transparency and disclosure are key to both
- a #NetZero by 2050 approach
- and an understanding by investors of the #investmentchain.
Progress on #TCFD assists with #COP26 and more 3/
Full amendments can be found here: 4/ publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill…
Important to understand that #ESG and #TCFD is not about divestment - it’s about planning for the long term given climate risk, ethical capitalism + smarter investing:

Climate and the Money Trail: The hidden truth behind the Climate Debate at COP25, Madrid. Now who wudda thought. The very mega-corporations and mega-billionaires behind the globalization of the world economy over recent decades,
whose pursuit of shareholder value and cost reduction who have wreaked so much damage to our environment both in the industrial world and in the under-developed economies of Africa, Asia, Latin America,
are the leading backers of the “grassroots” decarbonization movement from Sweden to Germany to the USA and beyond. Is it pangs of guilty conscience, or could it be a deeper agenda of the financialization of the very air we breathe and more?

Green fortunes will be made as the economy is forced to decarbonise. The rapidly changing investor sentiment and the winners and losers it will create.
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Two powerful shocks have hit the fossil industry and its financial ecosystem at the same moment:
- Australia’s six million hectare inferno
- The Netherlands watershed court case
Last month the Dutch supreme court ruled that the country’s climate targets were not stringent enough. It ordered the government to slash CO2 emissions much more deeply than it had planned – or is capable of doing without radical measures – and to do so by the end of this year.

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"

By 2030 all you investors and executives will be operating in a world with either dramatically lower emissions or zero remaining carbon budget. That's just two business cycles away - don't waste them!

My last long piece of the year for @BloombergNEF.

Is Paris a metaphor for the state of global climate politics? Three years ago the Paris Agreement, committing the world to limiting global warming. Today, the Paris riots, triggered by increases in fuel tax designed to help deliver France’s climate goals.

Lofty climate ideals, soaring rhetoric, ambitious targets – meet popular push-back!

Is that the message of Paris, or is the reality more complicated?
