22.01.2022 The world's largest private coal producer signals its second bankruptcy in five years, amid a depressed global coal market... https://finance.yahoo.com//peabody-energy-btu-reports-q3-1

21.01.2022 We can do this. Because, if we don’t... those that succeed us, the next generation of young leaders, will not thank us for our failure at COP26. We have had many COPs, but I think that this one is the most important. We are at an inflection point. And either we get this right, or we get it wrong. I say, we get it right. So let's do this." Her Excellency Vicki Treadell CMG, MVO, British High Commissioner delivered a motivating and inspiring speech to celebrate ‘COP26 One Year... to Go’ on Thursday 26 November in Canberra, attended by C4C. COP26, is the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference scheduled to be held in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021 under the presidency of the UK Government, in partnership with Italy. This summit is considered to be significant as it will be the first COP to take place after the landmark Paris Agreement measures approved at COP21 in 2015, take effect and will be the first opportunity for nations to review their commitments and strengthen ambitions in the wake of COVID-19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pIFC7RN98I See more

21.01.2022 An absolute pleasure to engage Warren Entsch MP with C4C. He’s not only a great advocate for climate change, the protection of the Great Barrier Reef, and sustainable tourism but there’s so much more he has done including protecting nationally threatened species, his leadership on the Australian TB Caucus - part of the Global TB Caucus where he sits on the Executive Committee, the National Landcare Program, reducing plastic waste and more. : I believe it is incumbent upon us as custodians of this great natural wonder to protect it. In doing so, we must work with other parties to the Paris agreement, encourage greater ambition to reduce global green house emissions and ensure warming is limited to well below 2C

21.01.2022 As we wrap up 2020, we would like to share with you our achievements and successes in what has been C4C's busiest year yet. Despite the COVID crisis, we were able to find a silver lining. We formed strategic partnerships internationally with organisations from the UK, Canada and USA, and in turn, expanded our following and presence in Australia and within the Coalition. Through our association with the UK Conservatives, we have hosted webinars with high profile speakers like...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Great news for the Australia-Brazil relations in renewables with Australian Enegix investing $5.4billion in green hydrogen in Brazil in Ceará. It is expected to be the first green hydrogen hub in Brazil and Latin America and Enegix Energy is to build the hydrogen production facility. Thanks to the available port infrastructure, international partnerships and location, Ceara expects to be able to export hydrogen at a competitive price. Renewables can bring countries together to reduce emissions and create a new export industry and new markets. https://renewablesnow.com//aussie-enegix-energy-to-invest/

15.01.2022 "NSW's new A$32 billion Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap will, among other things, support the construction of 12 gigawatts of new renewable energy capacity by 2030. This is six times the capacity of the state’s Liddell coal-fired power station, set to close in 2023": https://www.gizmodo.com.au//nsw-has-joined-china-south-ko/

09.01.2022 Incredible, innovative and intelligent collaboration on ESG between CBA and Wesfarmers. The bank's sustainability-linked loan to the conglomerate is "an Australian first-of-its-kind... A$400 million loan, where the interest margin Wesfarmers pays is linked to its levels of Indigenous employment and its efforts to reduce the carbon emissions intensity of its chemicals arm. The interest margin could decrease if Wesfarmers does well on the targets. Conversely, it could increase if they don’t meet them": https://www.afr.com//cba-offer-takes-wesfarmers-to-next-le

07.01.2022 2020 has been a year unlike any other. Internationally, the Coronavirus and the US Presidential election dominated the news cycle, so that much else passed unnoticed. The one exception, of course, was climate. Read here our Coalition for Conservation Year in Review article: https://www.coalitionforconservation.com.au/the_year_in_rev

04.01.2022 Excellent article by Trent Zimmerman MP: There are significant economic benefits EVs deliver in meeting emission-reduction goals as well as improving air and noise pollution in our cities. Our goal of zero net emissions cannot be met without major changes in the transport sector.https://www.theguardian.com//tax-on-electric-vehicles-in-s

03.01.2022 "I’m 76 years old and have come out of retirement because I’m excited. Australia has the opportunity to lead the region in energy and environmental markets. This opportunity is remarkably similar to what I witnessed in 1985 in Australian interest rate and credit markets. At the time I led the Sydney Futures Exchange as CEO. I have come out of retirement because the rapid worldwide transformation of energy generation, global economic growth and new efforts by environmental sta...keholders have uniquely placed Australia in an exciting position. We have the opportunity to be an Asian powerhouse for energy markets, both traditional and emerging, and also a leading financial market for environmental financial products thus leading the way towards a global zero net carbon emission target." https://www.afr.com//we-can-be-asia-s-energy-market-powerh
