2012 How does the private sector fit into adaptation solutions?
2021 Estimated emissions cuts by large companies with net zero targets
2021 Not all business responses are created equal
2022 Integrity of corporate net zero pledges
Brown capital versus green capital
We'll adapt! is a great "alternative vision"
1. Public short-term net carbon footprint targets
2. Targets linked to renumeration
4. Alignment with TCFD recommendations
A focus on client understanding
And not just talking about climate change, but doing something about it to reduce emissions profile
At 45, I am hell bent on helping lending a voice of reality and pragmatism to what is often characterized as a scientific debate
At Entergy 14 years, lawyer and MBA.
Banks and other investors will be racing to find impactful and creditworthy businesses in which to invest climate capital. This could lead to the rapid scaling up of climate-focused businesses, and as a result a wholesale transformation of the competitive landscape in ‘green’ technologies and manufacturing.
By forcing Parties to “revisit” their NDCs before next year’s COP, the Pact will induce some countries to reconsider their targets and redraw their emissions pathways. And this will cascade down to business, likely pushing many organizations to accelerate their own decarbonization plans.
By laying out the “45% by 2030” emissions target in black and white, the Pact has set a clear benchmark for evaluating the credibility of businesses’ climate transition plans. Those that fail to integrate this target could find themselves the target of climate activists, investors, and even legislators.
Companies were eager to show their support in Glasgow, with countless industry booths and appearances by corporate elites like Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink.
Decided to abandon discussion of mitigation. The topic was "dead to us" in 2010.
Decided to really stick to risk management point of view. How to assess the risk of SLR, etc. That's where their adaptation study came from.
Don't care whether you believe in climate science. But we need to look at this through a risk management lense
Entergy tired of being demonized for suggesting market mechanisms, China test, for rejection of the science.
Had to pass the China test. Have to be looking globally, can't just do things to feel good about our actions
I am pessimistic. In electric industry very different interests and constituencies.
I'm not bringing great news. But my pessimism doesn't detract from my enthusiams for helping make progress on this issue
John Kerry: “Not only are companies ahead of government, but companies understand that their future is tied to having a stable marketplace.”
Katrina's hitting helped change the conversation
Nick Molho, executive director of Aldersgate Group: the outcome of COP26 “made it crystal clear to businesses that they need to move away from fossil fuels.”
Purely from a risk management perspective, how do you go about assessing the risk of doing nothing?
Reason carbon tax discussion is dead is because in hierarchy of needs we're dealing with economic pain
Skeptics argue that the whole accord rests on a massive bet that the world's biggest polluters will eliminate all their net emissions in the next few decades and say the recent surge in coal mining in China, India and Australia proves just how hard this is going to be.
Suffering is the only thing that will move the needle beyond the prisoners dilemma
Ten Principles for Voluntary Corporate Action
The conversation the next 10-20 years is about "consequence management." We will have to deal with consequences and sacrifices
The end game requires a transition. Too much econ incentive to fight EPA efforts on NSPS. There will be pushback
There is going to be a fight no matter what direction we turn
Truth of matter is the gas has displaced coal - taking credit for this is like rooster taking credit for the sunrise
Two tipping points. Climate point of no return. And political tipping point - usually driven by suffering.
Wayne Leonard has been talking about climate science for more than a decade
We are already seeing the suffering.
We're trapped globally in a prisoners dilemma. U.S. is in a "do loop." We're fighting over incremental investment today for a future generation. Far easier to maintain status quo.
What would success look like if we were successful?
