Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) can play a critical role in the climate fight, but require significant investment. Effective contractual design helps manage the inherent risks of investing. Learn how in the latest note in our NCS Briefing Series: edf.org/natural-climate-solu…

At #COP27, join us on 11/12 at 3:30pm EET and explore how the LEAF project; jurisdictional approaches to electricity system transformation; & the Climate Action Team (CAT) model can support economy-wide transformation & decarbonization. Livestream: edf.zoom.us/j/82277920920

Don’t miss the panel discussion “Supporting acceleration of transition at scale: Exploring Climate Action Teams (CAT) and Other Jurisdictional Mechanisms to Accelerate Decarbonization” at #COP27 on Nov. 12 at 15:30 EET @IETA’s BusinessHub or livestream: edf.zoom.us/j/82277920920

We need to reconsider “use-it-or-lose-it” rules for public natural resources. There is growing demand for conservation uses, and carefully designed nonuse rights, that fully address communities’ concerns, could help build a flourishing conservation market. youtu.be/MSxQJ-PYkdA

Let's talk about how to make carbon market agreements work at a country scale to really make a dent in the three quarters of emission reductions this decade that will happen in developing countries if we are serious about 1.5 degrees. #climateactionteams

This, from the New Yorker, made me laugh. Oh, the wisdom of the young.

Lots of us are working on treatments that don't involve getting rid of the humans.... We can do this!

To meet our climate goals, countries need to collaborate. Climate Action Teams are a new model for countries to share resources & cooperate to reduce emissions. Join EDF, @WorldBank and the Government of Chile at #LACCW on 7/21 at 11:30 ET to learn more: bit.ly/3PrKNWa

In case you are interested to see what's happening in economics at EDF. The image is just for fun! Early morning in NZ. mailchi.mp/3513ffeeeec4/edf-…

As North Carolina farmers navigate more frequent extreme weather and hotter summer nights, they're turning to climate-smart farming to stay profitable. Here's how three small farms have made this transition: youtu.be/-N_mANACzCw

Here's an update on what our EDF economists are up to. Lots of great stuff - with our many wonderful collaborators. Events, jobs, publications... #envdefensefund mailchi.mp/3f44480c6aac/edf-…

New thinking during COP26 on carbon markets - border adjustments, removals, linkage and equitable transfer of resources using markets. #climateactionteams @EnvDefenseFund youtube.com/watch?app=deskto…

Join us for a 1-hour virtual webinar to discuss research on energy justice in the power sector and how this work can help inform policy. @EnvDefenseFund edf.zoom.us/webinar/register…

What is a Climate Action Team (CAT)? CATs are teams of countries working together to promote economy-wide emission reductions. @EnvDefenseFund is proud to share how our partners are testing this climate collaboration model in Chile to achieve ambitious climate commitments.

To meet the scale of the climate emergency, we need to pool our knowledge and skills across countries and share risk. Watch our #ClimateWeekNYC webinar to see how Chile and its partners are using a CAT model to develop a carbon crediting baseline: youtube.com/watch?v=NWage3TP…

What is a Climate Ambition Team (CAT)? CATs are teams of countries working together to promote economy-wide emission reductions. @EnvDefenseFund is proud to share how our partners are testing this climate collaboration model in Chile to achieve ambitious climate commitments.

And another one - this time by a young New Zealander. youtube.com/watch?v=wvsP_lzh… youtube.com/watch?v=lA5McDQQ…

A brilliant climate change parody of Bob Dylan - reminds me of my creative and outstanding colleague Catherine Leining @SilverLiningGS who did a great song on ETS. Climate change is too serious not to be a bit silly sometimes! youtube.com/watch?v=uFUw4THZ…

It's not enough to create new climate change laws, we also have to update or remove old laws. Just in case you missed this useful session on an example of this in New York. youtube.com/watch?v=BQG3BcTt…
