Canada is looking to expand LNG—yet global markets face oversupply + weakening demand outlooks. In Germany, for example, gas demand is already ⬇️ & in 2025 demand was ~13.5% below the 2018-2021 average. Public money for LNG facilities ⬆️ public risk. 📗 www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

Canada's oil & gas sector needs high prices to be viable. To breakeven producers need: ➡️Oil at USD 40/ barrel ➡️LNG at USD 9 to 12/ thousand cubic feet As the outlook for demand ⬇️ & supply ⬆️, public money for oil & gas carries real risk. New analysis: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

In the wake of the Strait of Hormuz crisis Canada is looking to expand its oil & gas sector. New analysis warns the export market may be shrinking as countries look to renewables as a more secure and affordable energy source. Learn more: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

When energy prices rise gov'ts need to act fast—yet fossil fuel subsidies ⬆️ exposure to future shocks. A better path: 👪 Prioritize support for the vulnerable 💰 Incentivize renewables 🔎 Ensure any fossil fuel support is targeted, transparent, & time-bound New report: www.iisd.org/publications...

Canada is close to fast-tracking a new West Coast pipeline by naming it a project of national interest. Yet the previous purchase of the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) has shown returns on investment are unlikely to be significant and taxpayers could be left footing a multi-billion-dollar bill. 🧵1/5

Fossil fuel subsidies are hard to shift & with many originating in int'l agreements reform requires 🌎action. Following ⬆️pressure, the Netherlands formed a coalition to take action.

Indonesia's long-term competitiveness will also depend on embedding strong environmental, social, and governance principles across the critical minerals value chain. Stronger governance, transparency, and oversight will be key to attracting responsible investment. 2/3

Indonesia holds 42% of the 🌎's nickel reserves. As the demand for EV batteries grows, the country has a huge economic opportunity to drive investment, create jobs, & strengthen its position in the clean energy supply chain—but mineral wealth alone isn't enough. 🧵1/3 www.iisd.org/articles/new...

Last month, Libya concluded its 1st oil & gas licensing round since 2007 with reserves estimated to be the largest in Africa. If fully developed & burned this could release 82.2 MtCO2. Meanwhile, concerns over stranded assets also signal economic risk. 👇 www.iisd.org/publications...

The Belém Mission to 1.5, launched at COP30, explores how countries can strengthen ambition & implementation of NDCs & NAPs. Here are 6 recommendations we submitted to this process:👇 1️⃣Reform fossil fuel subsidies & redirect public money to clean, resilient development 🧵1/3 iisd.org/publications...

⚠️ Climate risks affect every Canadian financial institution—they should be disclosed. Australia shows how legislation can help create alignment across the economy and drive participation in taxonomy uptake and transition planning. 📗 @iisd.org www.iisd.org/publications...

What can Canada learn from Australia to make sustainable investments easier? Aligning with international climate-risk disclosure standards can support: ✅market predictability, ✅business buy-in, and ✅green investment. New report: www.iisd.org/publications...

Indonesia has launched the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK). Creating a transparent and reliable record of carbon units, it tracks emissions trading system, offsets, and international transfers, while linking them to Indonesia's national climate registry (SRN-PPI).

When the lights go out, it's easy to focus on the event that caused the outage—but the more important question is what it tells us about the system behind it. Indonesia's recent blackouts are a reminder that for energy systems resilience matters just as much as reliability. 👇

In India, solar irrigation is demonstrating how countries can implement clean energy solutions that benefit communities & farmers. IISD’s Hrishabh Chandra explains, technology is often the easy part—financing & institutional supports are vital for long-term success. 📹 Watch 👇

Canada & Alberta’s industrial carbon price is likely too low to drive major investments in low-carbon tech. Our 🆕 report with @naviusresearch.bsky.social finds an ambitious price could deliver billions in new investment & ⬇️ emissions. 📗 iisd.org/publications...

Canada & Alberta have announced plans for construction of a new oil pipeline estimated to cost between CAD 35.2 & CAD 43.7 bn—taxpayers could be responsible for 90% of the bill. Difficulty finding a private company to lead the project reflects the pipeline’s questionable business case. 🧵1/4

Carbon pricing in Southeast Asia is more than just a climate dialogue—it's also about competitiveness, trade, & investment. In the 1st #CarbonMarketMonitor, IISD's Francesse Joy Cordon-Navarro says gov'ts move at different speeds but the direction is clear. 🆕 Newsletter: mailchi.mp/iisd.org/car...

Today, the governments of British Columbia and Canada announced CAD 3.9 billion in new federal support for the North Coast Transmission Line (NCTL)—this electricity infrastructure will largely be used to power new LNG production. 🧵 1/4
