In this week’s ESG News Week In Review, policy debates intensified as markets doubled down on climate innovation.
The EU Parliament rejected the Omnibus deal to ease sustainability rules and postponed its deforestation regulation rollout, while Tokyo prepared to issue the world’s first certified climate resilience bond. The UK unveiled a clean energy jobs plan expected to create 400,000 roles by 2030, and global investors managing $3 trillion urged stronger deforestation policies ahead of COP30.
In corporate moves, Google announced its first carbon capture power deal, Microsoft expanded its carbon removal partnership with UNDO, and Masdar broke ground on a $6B solar storage project set to deliver continuous clean power. Meanwhile, BlackRock and Temasek backed cooling solutions for AI data centers, and Amazon advanced modular nuclear builds to meet the growing energy demand of cloud computing.
