24 Jun 2024 Here in East Lothian we’re well placed to benefit from the Net Zero transition if we elect a Government that can end the chaos, turn the page and begin the process of rebuilding our economy. It’s time for change. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1805198203672727635/video/1 [Source]
08 May 2024 Climate investment globally overtook fossil fuel investment 2 years ago. My meetings here - Stanford & Berkeley have won more Nobel prizes than France - confirm in Scotland we’re part of a global race to align energy security, industrial policy, affordability & sustainability. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1788261483236958499/photo/1 [Source]
08 May 2024 In the last two weeks I’ve visited two wind farms in East Lothian but we’re still only at the start of the Net Zero transition: If we get this transition right it can mean good jobs & lower bills so this week I’m in San Francisco meeting with climate investors & entrepreneurs. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1788238293219610935/photo/1 [Source]
26 Apr 2024 On this quiet week in Scottish politics (!) it was great to welcome ⁦@AnasSarwar⁩ to East Lothian this morning to meet with Community Windpower at their BeGreen Energy Advice Centre in Dunbar High Street. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1783795707154972904/photo/1 [Source]
20 Jan 2024 (6/8) And we met with atmospheric scientists, economists, politicians, negotiators, farmers, teachers, and activists developing and implementing policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change while advancing Nepal’s economic and social development. [Source]
20 Jan 2024 (5/8) In Nepal, the students got to assess the profoundly damaging impact of climate change on the Himalayas - the water towers of Asia - that critically help provide fresh water to more than a billion people on the plains below. [Source]
20 Jan 2024 (3/8) Yet today, as a world, we’re badly off track. The 2023 SDG Report shows that on key goals like poverty and hunger progress has stalled. On Net Zero the latest evidence is that last year was, in fact, the hottest year on record. [Source]
20 Jan 2024 (1/8) In the first weeks of this year I’ve been teaching an undergraduate course for New York University examining how, in the coming years, the world can get back on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and deliver a Net Zero world by 2050. [Source]
02 Nov 2023 Relieved to have weathered the storm and delighted be speaking today on “Why does climate leadership matter?” at the remarkable @EdenProject with a broad range of British businesses, campaigners & NGOs. #Anthropy23 https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1720095407290888618/photo/1 [Source]
15 Sep 2023 Great to join ⁦@norriehamp⁩ & ⁦@_MWhitfield⁩ Martin at the BeGreen Energy Advice Centre on Dunbar High Street this morning to discuss the East Lothian Energy Fund that’s been developed to help local people through the continuing cost of living crisis. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1702656607962763755/photo/1 [Source]
30 Jul 2023 This week the World Meteorological Organization & the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service released data that confirmed that July 2023 is set to be the hottest month ever recorded in human history. This programme asks can we meet the net zero challenge?????https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001p20w [Source]
17 Jun 2023 “Nine months since the law was passed in Congress the private sector has mobilised well beyond our initial expectations to generate clean energy, build battery factories & develop technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” It’s time for change. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/30/opinion/climate-clean-energy-investment.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare [Source]
10 May 2023 If the Net Zero transition isn’t just it won’t happen at home or abroad so it needs public action & huge levels of private capital. Getting this right will bring huge economic gains - new industries & new jobs - for those countries that rise to the challenge with smart policies. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1656392126748413961/photo/1 [Source]
10 May 2023 Listening to investors here in San Francisco it’s clear how closely the US Govt is now aligning climate security, national security & industrial policy. In response the EU is bringing forward the Net Zero Industry Act. Yet the U.K. Govt seems in denial about this new global race. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1656362158089728000/photo/1 [Source]
10 May 2023 The range of innovative climate investment here in the US on technologies like CCS, Hydrogen, Small Modular Reactors, Sustainable Aviation Fuel & EV Batteries is inspiring. The issue we face is not that today’s problems are too large but that often today’s politics is too small. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1656253714238423041/photo/1 [Source]
09 May 2023 Here in the US it’s hard to overstate the economic impact of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. Hydrogen, EV battery & solar panel entrepreneurs all explain it’s THE catalytic force driving Net Zero transition & delivering good jobs. There are many lessons for the U.K. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1656082545438588928/photo/1 [Source]
09 May 2023 Renewable energy has a key role to play in East Lothian’s future & transitioning to the Net Zero economy. This week my work brings me to San Francisco where I’m meeting climate investors & entrepreneurs & learning about the impact of US industrial policy in delivering good jobs. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1655938657147322368/photo/1 [Source]
21 Mar 2023 Reading the new IPCC Report last night, it’s stark just how much more policy action & international cooperation is needed if globally we’re to meet the challenge of climate change. https://twitter.com/D_G_Alexander/status/1638081339005063171/photo/1 [Source]
28 Feb 2023 A really fascinating new @BBCRadio4 programme presented by @jm_stout offering perspectives from Shetland on oil, climate change & what’s needed for a just transition. Worth a listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001jklx [Source]
29 Jun 2022 7 months after @COP26 and 4 months after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine climate security & national security objectives in Europe are aligning around accelerating the Net Zero transition, but it requires leadership nationally & internationally. https://twitter.com/BVCA/status/1542059876645494786 [Source]

09 Sep 2021 It’s now just 52 days until world leaders gather in Glasgow for @COP26.

04 Feb 2021 This striking image today - from the nation that helped invent the industrial revolution with coal, steam and iron and in November will welcome @COP26 - should remind us all of the need to ensure a just transition to the Net Zero Economy. https://twitter.com/BBCScotlandNews/status/1357380524218736651 [Source]
