Above the Clouds
We’d hit the end of the trail officially recognized and maintained by the state of Hawaii in about an hour and a half, at around eleven in the morning. A wooden bench played host to an older couple, and small families milled around with phones raised for pictures, children and parents smiling against the wide view of the ocean and the town of Hanalei nestled twelve hundred feet below in the sweeping lap of the valley. They’d all come equipped for the trail; shorts and tennis shoes abounded, backs unencumbered by packs that only would have served to free the hands which clutched twelve ounce water bottles. Eyes followed Charlie and I with curiosity.

While Climate Summit COP27 Will Under-Deliver, The Market Shifts Towards Sustainability Will Accelerate
Background November 2022 was named the month of sustainability given that the COP27 Climate Summit is taking place during this time. These high-level meetings, however, will not produce any breakthrough given the global recession, high inflation, and geopolitical tensions due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. There will continue to be momentum towards the 2050 decarbonization targets, but we will fall short of concrete implementation of the climate commitments to keep the temperature increase to 1.5 C.

Gandy Beach (also known as Redneck Beach) is changing
There's a lot on my mind today. I imagine I'm not the only one who thinks a lot. I'm trying to stay focused on my personal goals, desires, and the garage sale I'm running today and tomorrow, but as I sit here sipping soda and smoking cigarettes, I can't help it, I'm thinking about lots of things that may or may not be any of my concern.

COP27 Climate Summit: Some Key Statistics on Risk and Investment Trends
As Egypt hosts the most important sustainability event of the year, COP27, the Middle Eastern country is pushing hard on making the summit about decarbonization implementation as opposed to climate commitments. However, given the weak global economy, high inflation, and geopolitical instability, we should not expect many breakthroughs coming out of this year's summit. The over 100 countries participating will be negotiating the establishment of the Damage and Loss Fund (a fund to finance damage and losses suffered by most vulnerable countries), as well as the $ 100 billion yearly investment commitment for developing countries to address their climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Nobody expects much progress on either front given the limited political capital of the largest polluting countries as well as the weak budget space to fill the climate financing gap.
