Climate Courage: the economics of climate

Send us Fan MailCop29 has been deemed a failure as it only promised $300 billion to developing countries by the mid-30s. What’s even more challenging about this number is the percentage offered as loans, because countries already struggling with debt burdens taking on more debt to deal with a crisis not of their own making is amoral, not to forget, it’s not charity. Ensuring the developing world gets the funds required to transition to clean energy is a critical need for the world. Another vital pillar is financing for adaptation, because if we don’t, we will be overrun by record human migration – something that will cause even more challenges for our societies. Beyond the needs of the developing world, we’re going to get personal. Are we aware of how the planetary crisis will impact our own pockets – regardless of how much wealth we have today? Are we preparing for it? As the planetary crisis escalates, with extreme weather events costing $2 trillion globally just in the last decade, how will that roll out and impact us individually? Insurance costs, pensions, investments, and beyond? What impact will all these extreme weather events have on our food, our homes, transportation, as well as air, water and on we could go? Are we ready to face this truth? Do we want to know what we should be doing right now to get prepared? Yes? Then join us for our last Livestream of the year. To help us dig into this topic, we are delighted activist Robert Redmayne Hosking has agreed to come back and join us for a second week, because honestly, he has so much more to say. Robert is a lifelong nature and environmental enthusiast, and a conservationist at heart. Environmental and climate policies are his passion, and he is relentless on X, showing up with daily protests, as he works to shape the future of how leaders, governments and the media think. Robert speaks from the heart and tells it like it is, so get ready for an engaging and passionate conversation. The economics of climate is a critical topic, so please do join us live Friday, 6th December – 3pm Singapore time, and 7am UK time, or listen to the recording after. Livestreaming to multiple locations. Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that!#ClimateCourage #RethinkingChoices #UncommonCourage You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
