What's powering the transition to zero-emission trucks in China? Click through Sophie Punte's 9 takeaways from a Smart Freight Centre China summit to learn how strong policies and business engagement are making battery electric trucks a reality:

The landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) could help reduce the United States’ net greenhouse gas (#GHG) emissions by around 40% from 2005 levels by 2030. Philanthropy must continue to support the implementation of the historic law — and push for even bolder #ClimateAction. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gK88pYGp #Impact4Climate

On a warming planet, access to cooling is no longer a luxury — it is a human right. Learn about how #philanthropy is working to advance climate-friendly #cooling solutions through the Clean Cooling Collaborative. ⬇ https://lnkd.in/g6hAE6SJ #Impact4Climate

ICYMI: Our CEO, Helen M., recently participated in a panel discussion at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference, which explored the evolving road to #NetZero. It’s clear we’re unlikely to meet the #ParisAgreement’s mid-term carbon reduction goals by 2030. Existing strategies for mobilizing public and private funds, such as Investor 100+ and carbon pricing, face variable success amidst the simultaneous rise in global oil demand and clean energy deployment rates. “Nature could be about a third of the solution set in terms of how to reduce emissions and yet traditionally has seen about three to seven percent of climate finance,” said Helen M., “Philanthropic capital can be catalytic and really help to move towards the solutions we need.” Watch the session for more insights into climate adaptation and resilience investment via the Milken Institute: https://lnkd.in/gu5GFvSE #MIGLOBAL #ClimateFinance

It was an absolute privilege to have Dr. Rebecca Dell as our keynote speaker during our Spring meeting. Looking forward to the continued collaboration and involvement with ClimateWorks Foundation as we work to decarbonize the built environment.

Agriculture and fuel sectors contribute to about three-quarters of #GHG emissions. But what about the remaining quarter? ClimateWorks Foundation's Rebecca Dell took the stage as a keynote speaker at the Center for the Built Environment (CBE)'s Industry Advisory Board, where she laid out five actionable strategies to cut emissions from material production in the #building industry.

‼ Request for Proposals ‼ We are looking to identify and support innovative, scalable projects that integrate passive cooling strategies and solutions into residential housing in Southeast Asia. Residential buildings represent the largest share of energy consumption in the ASEAN building sector. With rising temperatures, rapid urbanization, and increasing incomes, the rapidly growing demand for cooling is exacerbating the situation, posing risks to a currently carbon-intensive energy system and causing more global warming. Through this RFP, we seek to stimulate innovative, actionable projects or initiatives that fill critical gaps on the ground, offering models that promote passive cooling and sustainable building practices in Southeast Asia’s residential building sector, focusing on ultra-low, low- and middle-income groups.
