With Tuesday’s election results, climate action is back on the front induction element! While investigations into recent efforts to limit renewable energy development, promote fossil fuels and mining, and open up public lands to commercial interests are likely, climate leaders have emphasized the importance of promoting real-world policies to limit the rise in consumers’ energy costs through the development of renewable energy which continues to have lower cost and has eclipsed coal globally as the leading source of energy generation. Many environmental candidates were winners by embracing the climate solutions that can address economic insecurity and limit damages from the climate crisis.
Fossil Fuel Treaty events @ COP31. MACA is a signatory to the Fossil Fuel Treaty and invited to events organized at Antalya, Türkiye by the organization starting November 10. The program emphasizes new instruments that complement the Paris Agreement for a coordinated, fair phase out of fossil fuel production, engaging more governments to join the growing Bloc of 25 Nations developing the Fossil Fuel Treaty. CLICK to learn more about these COP31 events and let us know if you plan to join.
MACA to help develop proposed new climate docuseries. In an exciting new project brought to MACA, the aim is to inject a dose of the positive, pragmatic, climate solutions and counteract the doom, gloom & despondency overly pervasive in today’s documentary scene. The proposal for the first season includes eight 30-minute episodes, each of which features two or three technological advances that show remarkable promise in different areas of climate mitigation or energy harnessing. We are looking for members and affiliates who have compelling stories to tell. CLICK if you are working on a climate project that would be of human interest and a draw for a TV audience.
Critical Role of Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) in the Clean Energy Transition. MACA members have authored a new position paper, posted on our website, that describes how much of the world's future growth in population, energy demand, industrial production, and infrastructure build will occur in EMDEs. Since EMDEs have a legitimate and urgent need to expand energy access, accelerate economic development, and reduce poverty, the paper explores the central challenges and potential solutions for how these economies can continue to grow while building cleaner, more secure, affordable and resilient energy infrastructure. Send the paper to your representatives and CLICK to let us know that you are helping to amplify the important message in the paper.
Systems Perspective on Clean Energy Technologies for U.S. Data Centers/AI. We are seeking contributors to develop a paper examining whether clean energy technologies can reliably and economically support growing data center/AI energy demand in the USA. Three regional archetypes, Northern Virginia, Texas, and emerging rural AI campuses, will be used to examine practical deployment pathways and tradeoffs across cost, reliability, speed to power, technology readiness, and emissions. This paper will aim to help assess solutions, develop case studies, and identify actions for stakeholders - developers, utilities, and policymakers, to advance grid resilience and decarbonization.
