Pension funds in Europe have taken a more assertive approach on climate risk with asset managers: “If anything, the increasing physical impacts and updated scientific assessments we’re seeing in 2025 should raise more alarm bells across our sector.”

Australian politicians complain about the implementation costs of net zero policies, but not the economic benefits. They also don’t take into account the economic costs of doing nothing.

Google teamed up with BlackRock to add a gigawatt of #solarpower capacity so that suppliers in its value chain could access carbon-free #energy. Decarbon Copy on how tech giants are powering #AI growth and modernizing the electric grid:

#AI is a huge #sustainability challenge, in other words.
It feels like many people are looking at AI purely through the perspective of job loss. But if AI is good enough to mass replace all coders, analysts, consultants, managers, etc. at all jobs in the next few years, then AI will be so powerful that our world becomes unimaginable.

#AI “promises to lay off more workers, more rapidly, than any innovation in recent memory.” If those workers cannot easily replace lost income, the sustainability of the economic, social, and political ecosystem will be compromised.

MIT Tech Review - stats on the #energy used by #AI “refer only to interactions with chatbots, not the other ways that people are becoming increasingly reliant on generative AI.”

No #ESG funds, no problem? The American Airlines case shows how corporate #climate goals, #retirement plan manager selection, and proxy votes can spark #401k litigation.

We have taken more than 1 or 2 dozen injured birds to the WBF and am grateful to live just a few blocks away from the work they do.
It’s time for a mini-mega-migrator release! Here’s a small sampling of the rehabilitated birds we’ve released this week, all victims of window collisions.
These moments are the pinnacle of our work, and they’re so rewarding for all of us at WBF.
