Climate finance, carbon markets, and clean tech innovation defined this week’s ESG headlines.
China launched a green foreign debt program to boost global capital flows, while the UK outlined draft transition finance guidelines. In the U.S., California courts upheld climate disclosure laws, and homeowners rushed to solar before tax incentives expire. On the carbon front, Verra teamed with S&P Global on a next-gen credit platform, Marsh delivered insurance for a $210M removal project, and Deep Sky achieved North America’s first CO₂ storage via direct air capture.
Meanwhile, Google and partners advanced the first U.S. deployment of an advanced nuclear reactor, Masdar committed $1.7B from green bond proceeds to clean energy, and BlackRock’s GIP took a nearly 50% stake in Eni’s carbon capture unit.
