SDG 7

  1. Developing the infrastructure to distribute low-carbon energy

    EnergyGlobal

    Conversations on energy transition tend to focus on renewable generation or the end-user. However, too often, the complex systems that are required to connect the two are neglected. Relying on ‘the market’ to develop solutions risks being too slow and inequitable. Governments need to get their heads round the radical changes that must be made to create resilient, sustainable energy networks – it is down to governments to drive the energy transition forward

  2. Less is more: plugging the climate financing gap

    FinancingGlobal

    Funding for polluting projects remains alarmingly high. We need to urgently switch this finance toward sustainable projects. The relatively cheap cost of action now compared with the economic disaster of inaction is a math “no brainer” – and the time to act is now

  3. Today is the day

    ClimateGlobal

    A global consensus on the scale of the climate crisis is emerging. Governments are starting to make the right noises. But we lack and need action, now

  4. On the brink of the abyss

    ClimateGlobal, Latin America and the Caribbean

    As the UN Secretary-General warns, humanity is facing a cascade of crises. COP26 will be the moment of truth for climate and all countries must step up

  5. Remaking capitalism for a sustainable future

    ClimateGlobal

    Capitalism and sustainability are on a collision course, one that threatens to destroy both the market system and the planet. To head off the impending crash, we must end environmental externalities and make polluters pay for the harm they cause. Standardizing corporate ESG reporting offers a path toward clarity on the environmental harms that need to be addressed
