The #US on Oct. 14 implemented revised #port fees on Chinese-linked #vessels that are far less stringent than originally proposed, posing less risk to the US coal industry.

The latest S&P Global Sustainability Quarterly features a new analysis from our climate scientists and economists that suggests the world should prepare for adapting to 2.3 degrees C of global warming. Our probabilistic model indicates that a 2.3 C world is very likely to materialize in the next 15 to 25 years. Adaptation needs will therefore continue to rise, even in the near term. It is very unlikely that physical climate risks will not increase in severity and frequency globally (less than 2.5% chance), implying more climate-change-related losses absent an increase in adaptation and resilience investments.

"Without an extension of the #free certificates, there is a risk that value creation and emissions will simply be shifted because companies will be deprived of investment funds for the transformation," Austria's minister of economy, energy and tourism Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer said in a statement.
