🔍 Europe’s Talent Challenge: is a ‘Union of Skills’ the answer?
How can Europe ensure that everyone and every place has a future in the green and digital age?
Read our latest blog post to find out: steadyhq.com/en/spatialforesig
It explores the European Commission’s ambitious new strategy, the Union of Skills, and its implications for regional development, labour mobility and cohesion across the EU.
From tackling talent traps to supporting rural and post-industrial areas, the Union of Skills could transform our approach to human capital, competitiveness, and territorial equity.

"Meanwhile, companies like Aldi, Everton Football Club, and the National Grid are seeking planning permission from local authorities to turn to Environment Bank with the view to purchase Biodiversity Units, which will enable them to meet the new BNG requirements where it is not possible (or, perhaps, less cost-effective) to restore biodiversity on the new construction site. As the biodiversity of the habitat bank improves, so does the number of Biodiversity Units that the site is worth, meaning that Environment Bank can sell more of them, and the value of the “biodiversity asset” that Gresham House owns increases.

What’s not to like? Everyone makes a buck—or saves a few, in the case of the developers—and flora and fauna, which the over-farmed land hasn’t seen for centuries, return. Unfortunately, things are not so simple. There is every reason to predict that such attempts to render nature initiatives “investable” will be even less successful than they have been at pursuing decarbonization in energy and transport, not just because of the relatively nominal scale of financing efforts in the former vis-a-vis the latter, but also because of the particular uncertainties embedded within them. It is only by looking at the whole picture of climate financing flows—and the other sectors and material demands of the green transition—that we can begin to reckon with the fundamental limitations of our existing climate governance regime, and what alternatives to it might look like."

You're a poor country drowning in debt and rising seas, while the rich world lectures you on cutting emissions and hoards the tech and cash to do it.

They want your nickel and cobalt but won’t let you build your own batteries. Their so-called “solutions” are half-measures, more loans, and more control.

The real fix? Cancel the #debt, pay for the damage, and let the #GlobalSouth lead the #GreenTransition—not just supply it.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Reform Fossil Fuel Subsidies

the-14.com/why-now-is-the-best

The-14 Pictures · Why Now Is the Best Time to Reform Fossil Fuel Subsidies | The-14How should governments start this process? What are the first steps to make the reform happen? Fossil fuel subsidy reform involves several steps, starting with political will. It requires governments to make a clear and committed decision to pursue reform. Moreover, it requires a whole-of-government approach, involving key ministries such as finance, industry, and energy.

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.

What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.

Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???

Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?

$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.

Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

It doesn't matter how vehemently or often or long something is said, if it aint so it is not so.

Here somebody with an actual brain and the career path to use that capability, lays it out : AGAIN.

If heat pumps are part of the necessary green transition, then it is pretty clear the economic model for energy needs t change to make the switch a worthwhile project for households.... certainly they may be greener, but in the UK's economy, still experiencing an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, most households cannot afford to transit to heat pumps in the current market structure(s).

Want to find out how much those #solar panels will likely generate? pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php has a handy calculator. It takes details of the panels, their angle, direction and location. It integrates that with historical weather reports, and gives you a spreadsheet with a daily estimate of how many kWh you can expect on average for each day of the year.

From @hannahritchie.substack.com "My overall takeaway is pretty consistent with the reports above: in many cases (but not all) second-hand #electric cars are now cheaper upfront than #petrol [#ICE] equivalents. At the very least, I think it’s fair to say that they're cost-competitive. I think public perception is probably the opposite: there is still a dominant narrative that electric cars are much more expensive. "

In #nl, big energy companies stop their investments in offshore wind, effectively halting the green transition.

Due to big companies not moving away from fossil fuels, the demand for green energy is too low to guarantee that the increasing investments will be earned back.

For the Netherlands, investments in offshore wind are necessary to meet their climate goals.
