I thought I’d do another thread on things that caught my eye today as highlighted by @guardian COP26 and @BusinessGreen @James_BG Remember I’m not physically at COP yet,and I am only giving my impression as the announcements and projects continue to pour out #COP26 #EdinUniCOP26
Today was finance day at COP- a lot was announced. I’m no finance expert but I do advise the University on what it means to invest our £500m endowment fund,c£700m treasury funds in a climate friendly and responsible way and have done for 8 yrs so hopefully have some insights 1/n
The U.K. chancellor made a speech (no questions and apparently young protesters not allowed!) setting out plans to make U.K. finance system net zero,including requiring net zero transition plans.Note this is mandatory to have plans but doesn’t require company by company zero 2/n

I’ve not been at #COP26 physically yet but I have been watching, reading and reviewing so FWIW my take so far- make of it what you will #EdinUniCOP26
Firstly, it seems disappointing if not surprising that there are long queues- perhaps that will improve now the world leaders’ summit has finished and as the processes are tweaked. I do have some sympathy for the organisers given the complications introduced by COVID
What is less forgivable is lack of planning to ensure people with disabilities can easily access the venue including transport to and from it. That needs fixed right away
