Is Net-Zero Emission The Biggest Business Opportunity Of The Century?
Net-Zero is a term that has become popular in both the public and private sectors thanks to the massive advocacy performed by the environmental movement led by the United Nations and other global foundations. More recently, following the COP15 and COP26 Climate Summits that respectively took place in Paris, France in 2015 and in Glasgow, UK in 2021, the term has become synonymous with the green industrial transformation. Net-zero refers to the decarbonization of our economies to the level in which the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere are harmonized by their complete removal.

GRAVEYARD ORBIT
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I didn’t need to hear it. I felt it. The strained vibrating of my vocal cords up through my mouth and ears.

Doom, Dust and Ashes
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I remember so vividly the day the earth was no more. All the stories we wrote, all the history we made, all the families, our homes, our lives, our loves and friendships, all gone in the awfulness of a burning fiery inferno of our own making.

Davos delivers on private sector commitment to decarbonize
The November 2021 Climate Summit (COP26) in Glasgow consolidated the momentum toward a transition to green growth and a decarbonized economy. Unsurprisingly, this involved a more robust partnership with the private sector to invest in clean tech and clean energy. One of the key milestones of the COP26, was the United States launch of the First Movers Coalition (FMC). This is a platform for companies and governments to commit to purchase green products and services (such as green hydrogen, green steel, and green cement) and thus jump-start the creation of markets for innovative clean energy technologies that are key for tackling the climate crisis.

Megadroughts and massive impacts to environment and economy
Drought is a slow-moving natural disaster, a kind of creeping phenomenon, which destroys livelihood and economies, but the impacts of which show up over a long time-period. As its impacts become evident over a longer time period, it is harder to mitigate. Furthermore, drought does not cause the same sort of structural damage as hurricanes, floods and forest fires do. For these reasons droughts have hindered the development of systematic databases, yearly estimates of costing and impacts and, ultimately, the formulation of drought risk management by many governments around the world.
