🔥 Hot off the press: My University of Oxford paper on the economic potential of CDR for the Global South

🤩 This is the biggest research project I’ve ever worked on: months of work with the TIDE Centre, University of Oxford, together with my brilliant co-author Raphaël Cario , culminating in a 60-page analysis on the Global South’s overlooked industrialisation opportunity. 📈 The headline: if scaled with the right policies, durable CDR could create 3 to 9.5 million jobs and $180-600 billion in annual economic value across the Global South by 2050. 🚀 Holding >70% of global bioma

👀 The Net Zero Standards face off: ISO vs SBTi

😬 For years, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has been the gold standard for corporate climate targets. But SBTi has struggled: governance issues, inconsistent guidance, and growing pushback from companies frustrated by its rigidity and lack of clarity. ⭐ Into that gap now steps the ISO Net Zero standard, developed with input from over 170 countries and promising global legitimacy and harmonisation. It will officially launch with a big splash at COP30. 🏢 And, let

👀 Let’s unpack Bill Gates’ controversial new take on climate change 👀

✉️ Gates' letter "Three Hard Truths About Climate Change" is certainly making the rounds in my circles. I have some important observations: 👎 Climate and aid budgets are NOT zero sum. Between 2015 and 2024, aid grew 60% ($132B → $212B). In the same period, total global investment in climate solutions more than doubled, from roughly $600B to over $1,300B a year. Pitting the two against each other is not just unhelpful, it is unfounded. 🌎 Tipping points matter. Gates assumes

❓"What's your target: is it to stop global warming or get rid of fossil fuels?"❓

💡 I had never thought about this as an either / or question and always assumed we can only stop global warming IF we get rid of fossil fuels. ✈️ In the latest CDR Policy Scoop, Robert Höglund and I got to go deep on the role of carbon removal in aviation and shipping. 🤔 One of the key arguments Robert makes is that our best shot at net-zero could be to focus on whatever solution has the lowest cost, e.g. CDR + regular jet fuel vs eSAF. Loved recording this one - go check it
