Scalable Climate Solutions: IPCC WG3, Climate Mitigation and the role of Regenerative Finance

pCO2
April 14
The latest IPCC WG3 report on Climate Mitigation was released last week is a dire warning to humanity about the state of our planet. It is a harsh reminder that our reliance on fossil fuels drive our current energy, transportation, construction and agricultural systems is intrinsically flawed. The report outlines strategies that humanity can take to reduce the worst of global climate change (Figure 1; IPCC). It shows that decarbonising our energy grids using solar and wind power is one of the most cost-effective strategies of decarbonising quickly. Solar and wind technologies are not without their own scalability issues in regards to natural resources. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is surprisingly expensive and low impact on this list \[in the short term prior to 2030]. But investment now can lead to greater efficiencies in the future. The key point of this is: There is no one killer climate solution. There are many killer climate solutions. Some will be symbiotic. They should all be somewhat scalable. Whether emissions reductions through green technologies, ecosystem preservation or restoration, direct carbon removal or investor divestment due to understanding financial carbon risk. We must act in tandem. Teamwork :)

2022\. Our world is breaking all kinds of unprecedented climate records. CO2, Methane and Nitrous Oxide are all at their all time highs… Just this week, it was 30 °C higher than average in the Arctic, and 40 °C in the Antarctic.
