🌀 #Complexity demands a new #leadership playbook. I’m launching #Elastic #Intelligence—a new platform for #leaders navigating disruption and #change with #authenticity, #relational agility & mental flexibility. 📖 10 critical reframes: 🔗 elasticintelligence.substack…

Ahead of the G7 energy ministerial in Toronto, participants at the Atlantic Council’s Summit on the Future of Energy Security shared optimism and a clear message for G7 leaders on advancing progress. Read more from @Dlgoldwyn and @_Lee_Beck: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/en…

🤖 AI. 🌪 Disruption. ⚡ Exponential tech change. They’re not slowing down — and certainty is gone. The leaders who thrive now don’t resist change. They master elasticity. 👉 Full essay on Substack: elasticintelligence.substack…

Leadership doesn’t start at 9 and end at 5. It starts after hours—through reflection, alignment & growth. My new piece on Elastic Intelligence explores the #authenticity scaffolding leaders need to grow from the inside out. Read it here → elasticintelligence.substack… #leadership

I'm honored to join the Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee alongside a phenomenal group of advisors @CommerceGov

#COP29 ended last month with the usual last-minute challenges and showcased a mix of progress, frustration, and the urgent need for action. Here are our 5 key takeaways from Baku ⬇️ catf.us/2024/12/five-key-tak…

This also means that whoever rules Syria next stands to inherit whatever documents the Assad regime retained about this former program (assuming they haven’t been/won’t be destroyed).

Such a great dialogue yesterday during the @cleanaircatf's 'CEE Talks: Central and Eastern Europe in the World' webinar! I joined a panel brilliantly moderated by @_Lee_Beck , alongside fellow speakers @OlgaKhakova, H.E. @varvuolis , and @KurtykaMichal . Thank you for the invitation, Larissa Lee Beck and @TamLagurashvili , and congratulations to the whole CATF team! I discussed energy geopolitics, how the upcoming #US policies could impact the #CEE region's #energysecurity, and the options forward for the #EU and the region to advance their #energytransition agenda. Full recording of the panel, available here: youtu.be/_YmYV91dTKY?si=bqfP…

With Europe facing economic challenges and climate action dependent on successful innovation, CATF’s @_Lee_Beck sat down with @JorgensenJuul @Energy4Europe, @JCLaloux @EIB, and @KirstenCKIC @ClimateKIC at #COP29 to discuss the state innovation and finance.

When supported by robust policies and financial resources, nuclear energy can accelerate the energy transition. At #COP29, @EFIFoundation joined a panel with @iaeaorg, @cleanaircatf, and @NTI_WMD for a discussion on innovative financing and risk-sharing strategies for #SMRs.⚛️

CATF's @_Lee_Beck moderated an engaging discussion with @ASdoukou @GreeceMFA & @CFragoyiannis @YpenGr. They explored raising ambition while recognizing reality, focusing on regional flexibility & the intersection of energy security, economic strength, & emissions reductions.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) can contribute as a large-scale solution to the energy transition. At #COP29, CATF’s @_Lee_Beck joined @iaeaorg, @EFIFoundation, & @NTI_WMD for a discussion on how financing can accelerate nuclear energy ambition. x.com/iaeaorg/status/1855974…

Today, the @EP_Industry held the confirmation hearing of @DanJoergensen, Commissioner-designate for Energy and Housing. It was an opportunity to gain better clarity on his plans to ensure more clean energy available, cheaper energy costs, and an end to Russian energy imports.

Really excited to join @cleanaircatf 's panel conversation - alongside @_Lee_Beck , @OlgaKhakova , @KurtykaMichal , and @varvuolis - to discuss the #CEE's energy challenges and opportunities. Thank you for having me, @TamLagurashvili !

After a year of record floods, conflict, and uncertainty, climate leaders at #COP29 need fresh approaches. In a new blog, CATF’s @_Lee_Beck covers six critical reframes for world leaders to catalyze climate action. catf.us/2024/10/six-climate-…

This week, @ACGlobalEnergy and @WECouncil convened experts to discuss the role of DFI’s in mobilizing capital to address climate change and energy security issues. As part of the discussion, representatives from @GruppoCDP, @FinDev_Canada examined Italy’s experience and lessons learned from the G7 leadership and previewed Canada’s priorities for the G7 Presidency.

"The cost of capital has implications for where we are going to fund investments." CATF's @lodarno spoke with @FT about a new CATF report that reveals the lack of affordable financing for clean energy projects in African countries. ft.com/content/b589f559-2949…

As @WBG_Climate gather in DC for the Annual Meetings of IDBs, my colleagues in our Africa team release a FOAK analysis showing the weighted average cost of capital was 18 per cent across the African continent, falling to 13 per cent by 2070. @lodarno @FT: ft.com/content/b589f559-2949…
