Welcome this weeks edition of The Weekly Climate!
This is a podcast version of the newsletter The Weekly Climate. It is meant to be your monday morning news overview of the most important climate crisis news from last week. Each podcast episode comes with a detailed newsletter wherein you can dive deeper into each news item.
We go back to the original news focussed format this week but augments the newsletter with a blog that describes which actions to take based on the news items you read.
News you can’t miss: The IEA releases its first Electricity Market report and it has some interesting numbers, some of which can be seen in the Weekly Climate Numbers. The UN Climate Ambition Summit was held last weekend and it led to number of companies upgrading their ambitions. A new UN report finds that 39% of all emissions are related to buildings. That’s close to 2x that of all modes of transportation. And the fossil fuel industry is caught in another ugly propaganda scandal (that nobody seems to care much about except those of us who are obsessed with seeing the industry die).
