1/ NEW REPORT: Our first ever Canadian Pension Climate Report Card reveals Canada’s major pension funds are not on track to protect pensions from the worsening #climatecrisis or to align their portfolios with a safe climate future. #cdnpoli
A 🧵. Read on! shiftaction.ca/reportcard2022

2/ Canada's pensions must do much more to develop and implement credible Paris-aligned climate action plans, fulfill their fiduciary duty to invest in members’ best long-term interests, and protect retirement security in a world that limits global heating to 1.5°C. #cdnpoli
3/ The report finds a high level of inconsistency among pension funds with a collective >$2 trillion in AUM, with the degree of urgency, detail, transparency, and ambition varying widely for managing climate-related risks and opportunities across the sector. #climaterisk #cdnpoli
1/ Calgary-based NuVista Energy is reporting record oil and gas production and allocating $450 million in capital expenditure to further increase production in 2023. #ableg #cdnpoli financialpost.com/globe-newswire…
2/ This clearly violates IEA and IPCC emissions pathways for limiting global temperature increase to 1.5C, which require oil and gas production to immediately and rapidly decline. #fossilfuels #climatecrisis theguardian.com/environment/20…
3/ On January 1st, NuVista corporate director Deborah Stein joined the Board of Directors of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan @OTPPinfo. #onpoli #onted #cdnpoli shiftaction.ca/news/2022/9/15…
Our new report: 'Unburnable #Carbon - 10 Years On' finds global stock markets 🏦 are financing energy companies which are sitting on 3x more #coal, #oil & #gas reserves than can be burned without breaking the 1.5°C Paris climate target carbontracker.org/reports/uburna… #CarbonBubble
🧵Despite growing urgency to tackle #ClimateChange, 'Unburnable #Carbon' reveals “embedded #emissions” in the #FossilFuel🛢️reserves of companies listed on stock exchanges – the CO2 released if they’re extracted & burned – has grown by nearly 40% since 2012 carbontracker.org/reports/uburna…
@CarolineLucas @EdwardJDavey @Ed_Miliband @MichaelEMann @CFigueres @AnnPettifor @billmckibben @martinwolf_ @AlokSharma_RDG The report warns that 90% of all known #FossilFuel🛢️reserves & resources held by companies must stay in the ground as 'unburnable #carbon' to limit global warming to 1.5°C🌡️🛑carbontracker.org/reports/uburna… #KeepItInTheGround
After quick reading @environmentca new Emissions Reduction Plan, two major (& predictable) blindspots have emerged. A short 🧵 #ERP #cdnpoli #climatecrisis 1/7
2/7 FINANCE: describes modest historical process, without providing any path forward for aligning financial regulations with #ParisAgreement for regulated finance institutions/crowns, mandatory #ClimateRisk disclosure, stronger capital adequacy requirements, mandate changes, etc
3/7 FINANCE: Under #SFAC, finance institutions are regulating themselves. Major Canadian #banks lobby against mandatory #climaterisk disclosure & are #greenwashing #sustainablefinance - major policy reforms are needed & are missing here. thenarwhal.ca/canada-big-5-b…

Today the @WhiteHouse released a report explaining how it intends to "properly account for and mitigate #climate change-related financial and economic risks" to account for systemic risk in the US government and across the country...

I applaud this effort - the more we recognize the risks we face, the more we might be willing to take action to mitigate them.
But, I think it also important to recognize that individuals need to be doing this accounting of #climaterisk as much as governments and businesses.

Day 3 of the Climate Risk Summit, focused on communicating climate risk. Liz Bentley of the Royal Meteorological Society kicks off emphasising the need to tailor across sectors and contexts ... #COP26Universities #COP26
... and the tension between needing to deliver a clear message, and the fact that oversimplifying can cause more problems than it solves.
Asks, "Who is best placed to communicate? Experts or communicators?" One ideal answer is climate experts who are good communicators. (Another answer is good collaborative teams, of course ...)

The fossil fuel industry is not just in terminal decline; it's also corrupt. #Vitol's settlement w/the Dep't of Justice over violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act #FCPA is an important reminder that transparency & disclosure alone aren't enough to prevent abuse. Thread:
Full disclosure (pun intended): I wrote a lengthly law review article about this topic a decade ago. See "Transparency & the Natural Resource Curse: Examining the New Extraterritorial Information Forcing Rules in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… /2
The FCPA is an extraterritorial criminal statute that makes it illegal for US firms to bribe foreign officials. Congress passed it in 1977 in response to genuinely outrageous behavior by Lockheed. Notably, until 2010 or so, the US was alone in criminalizing foreign bribes. /3
Thread on new @CFTC #climaterisk report. Here are the highlights: First & perhaps most importantly, this report was a) commissioned by a majority-Republican federal regulatory agency and b) represents the consensus views of banks, investors, big companies, academics & enviros 1/
2/ Topline message: "US financial regulators must recognize that climate change poses serious emerging risks to the US financial system, and they should move urgently and decisively to measure, understand, and address these risks." Full report here (PDF): cftc.gov/sites/default/…
3/ Notably, the CFTC #climaterisk report does not just make recommendations to the CFTC, and is not limited by the jurisdiction of this agency (commodities, derivatives markets, etc). Also notable: the recommendations aren't binding. If Biden wins, they'll be a blueprint at best.

Delighted to be re-appointed by the PM as Minister for Pensions + Financial Inclusion.
We’ve already achieved a lot, but there is lots more to crack on with.
Top priorities are the #PensionSchemesBill thru @HouseofCommons
+ continuing progress on #ESG

Firstly, there are law changes and disclosure practices to drive behavioural change to climate friendly investment.This is already happening:

- we need fuller #disclosure of #climaterisk/management of climate risk policies worldwide + in UK: this is a work in progress, but a lot has been done:see June 19 report 3/: fsb.org/2019/06/tcfd-r…
