Speaker 1:This week's top sustainability headlines, corporate climate accountability takes center stage. Updates to its corporate net zero standard allowing companies to use carbon removals to address unavoidable emissions, known as residual emissions. The updates set stricter goals for larger companies and those in wealthier nations, and offer new approaches to manage supply chain emissions. Proposed changes emphasize flexibility in using carbon removals, with companies required to set or validate such targets with SBTI. These proposals, now open for consultation, are expected to be formalized by year-end and implemented by 2026. Epa withdraws Atlantic Shores offshore wind permit amid environmental review, the EPA's voluntary remand of the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project Permit marks a significant pause for a major clean energy initiative. The move allows for a deeper environmental review and could reshape timelines for offshore wind development along the Atlantic coast.
Speaker 1:Australia commits $529 million to Green Hydrogen Project to advance global decarbonization. Under Round 1 of its Hydrogen Head Start program, Australia's ARENA has awarded $529 million AUD $814 million to Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners' Murchison Hydrogen Renewables Project. This funding aims to scale green hydrogen production and contribute to global decarbonization efforts, signaling Australia's commitment to becoming a key player in the clean energy transition. Detroit leverages HUD funds to protect 1,500 homes from basement flooding. In response to rising flood risks and aging infrastructure, detroit is expanding its Basement Backup Protection Program to safeguard 1,500 homes from basement flooding. The city is utilizing funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, hud, to implement protective measures and increase climate resilience in vulnerable neighborhoods.
Speaker 1:Uk consumers demand action on PFAS, driving market shifts. A recent survey indicates that 68% of UK consumers are concerned about PFAS contamination, with 27% expressing serious concerns.
