The future of finance is distributed, multiscale, and resilience-building

The future of finance will be less exploitative and better designed to generate sustainable value, inclusively. It will be distributed, multiscale, and resilience-building. We know this, because the raw math shows it must be so. Already the number of catastrophically costly events driven by climate destabilization has proliferated wildly. Most regions are now experiencing multiple overlapping major climateContinue reading “The future of finance is distributed, multiscale, and resilience-building”

IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

The IPCC is now in its sixth assessment cycle, in which the IPCC is producing the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) with contributions by its three Working Groups and a Synthesis Report, three Special Reports, and a refinement to its latest Methodology Report, presenting the most advanced and recent knowledge on global warming and climate change while highlighting the responsibility of humans in the latter. The most recent IPCC report 2022 warned that the world is set to reach the 1.5ºC level within the next two decades and said that only the most drastic cuts in carbon emissions from now would help prevent an environmental disaster.

IPCC Special Report on Climate Change & Land

The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land found that consumption of food, feed, fibre, timber and energy have caused unprecedented rates of land and freshwater use, with soil erosion from agriculture up to 100 times higher than the soil formation rate, increasing net GHG emissions and loss of natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
