I’m heading to #COP30 in Belem. Excited to join the @cleanaircatf delegation to push for concrete, ambitious climate action. Learn more about our work and meet the rest of our delegation: https://t.co/ftb8YfNw0M

As the global climate community convenes in Brazil for COP30, CATF will send a select delegation to champion our pragmatic approach to global climate action.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating

In desperate villages in southwestern Uganda, not only are aid cuts killing children every day, but the death toll is accelerating.

The United States, Iceland, Italy, Japan, and New Zealand each has access to optimal resources to develop these technologies; by partnering with these and other allies, the United States can accelerate its technology development and convert its edge into a durable lead.

Superhot rock geothermal offers a nearly inexhaustible source of abundant, 24/7, firm, and clean power production, without the geographic limitations of conventional geo. But unlocking that potential will require collaboration across industries and borders.

My @cleanaircatf colleagues Jenna Hill, @TerraRogers_SHR , and I lay out the case for the US to help lead an international alliance to develop superhot rock geothermal, for @CarnegieEndow: https://t.co/YaIjqnz8fy

A new CATF report lays out a strategic vision for how Central and Eastern Europe can reduce fossil fuel dependence, scale local clean tech, and build a more resilient and independent energy system. Read the report here:

To maintain cohesion and strategic independence, given the economic benefits of decarbonisation, CEE nations must promote a collaborative regional vision.

CATF’s Rebecca Tremain spoke on a panel alongside other #methane and policy experts, explaining the feasibility of banning routine methane flaring, and the reality that many people are living close to harmful flaring sites – both in the UK & in countries the UK imports oil from.

Excellent from Carl Benedikt Frey in @TheEconomist on how America's industrial strength has been built on the back of international trade, not in spite of it:

My latest @cleanaircatf with @SagatomSaha: How trade policy chaos is undermining U.S. energy security and competitiveness at a critical time. Swapping sledgehammers for scalpels is essential to the futures of U.S. battery, nuclear, geothermal, and CCS industries:
As the U.S. works to build a cleaner, more secure energy system, misguided trade policy is getting in the way. Tariffs are inflating costs, slowing deployment, and threatening U.S. energy and economic security. https://t.co/KVloorPd9D

psa to check out this timely piece from @david_yellen and @SagatomSaha breaking down how tarrifs are undermining U.S. energy + economic security (love when i get new + old colleagues to collab 🤝)

The wide-ranging tariffs that the Trump administration has sought to impose will make U.S. energy more expensive and disrupt energy security.

Trump promised energy dominance and lower prices, but sweeping tariffs do the opposite. In a policy brief for @cleanaircatf, @david_yellen & I outline how they raise costs, chill investment, and stall manufacturing. We also suggest smarter policy options:

Was great to join Oman Sustainability Week and discuss the challenges facing the logistics industry and key opportunities for new fuels and technologies as regions take diverging approaches
Decarbonising the global transportation and logistics sector is a significant challenge, particularly in the aviation and maritime industries. CATF’s @david_yellen joined Oman Sustainability Week and The Economist Intelligence Unit to discuss pathways to get the sector on track.

Cutting funding for cleantech innovation, isolating US industry from the world, and withdrawing from international institutions will only harm US competitiveness and security. On why this approach is misguided, even if you don't care about the climate: https://t.co/8L7BPERoX8

The biggest loser from withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and from international clean energy and climate efforts is the U.S. itself.
