Hello, people of the world. It's complicated.

"The annual United Nations Climate Conference, COP27, held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, which started yesterday, November 6, to November 18, will emphasize the urgent need to implement more robust emission reduction plans and focus more on the needs of the developing world".?

To name just a few critical headlines:

1. Climate demonstrations have increased: this year, Kenya experienced devastating droughts, a third of Pakistan was flooded, Europe experienced its hottest summer in 500 years, and a group of island nations asked for a new home after theirs sank underwater.

2. Energy is the elephant in the room: energy production and consumption account for roughly two-thirds of global emissions, according to the World Economic Forum, with the majority still based on fossil fuels. What do we do?

3. Cutting emissions for real, but changing the unrealistic general mindset of keeping the "1.5°C alive": only 12% (23 of 197) countries met the September 2022 deadline with revised climate plans.

2. Insights—Investment and decision-making, the loop series: the recap

2.1 Investment and decision-making, the loop series: the recap

We must reinforce the financial spectrum of possibilities to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. It requires first reaching environmental stability for sustainable growth, then designing sustainability and inclusion implementation to reshape industries and have companies using forward-looking assessments.

The purpose here is to address some of these problems by providing tips and lessons over time. We imagined it as an infinite loop.

Investment and decision-making, the loop series [paid content, subscribe to premium ]:

• Fix the process, not the problem—part 1 .
• New circumstances, new adversities—part 2 .
• Yesterday’s failure is today’s innovation rise—part 3 .

2.2 The Framework for Sustainability Conversations

?? Open governance enhances the ability of communities to try, learn and adapt their way toward better development outcomes.

Introducing a sustainability plan in a particular environment may conflict at a specific level with the current overall status.

? Start using the Framework for Sustainability Conversations to help you in the identification of biases in the decision-making processes .?
