The #EU has big plans for #quantumcomputing - @ThierryBreton recently said that he wanted Europe to be the world's "quantum valley". But what exactly is it? And how is the EU planning to leverage - and regulate - it? Here's @LeoVenez's explainer 👇 linkedin.com/posts/fourtold_…

These billboards urging 🇪🇺action on the long-stalled #MethaneRegulation went up in Brussels this week. In 30 minutes I'll be grilling lawmakers about why they haven't acted on last year's Commission proposal to cut #methane emissions. Watch here@ 17:30: youtube.com/watch?v=CvNapzkF…

Today’s (not-so) #minibudget2022 will mean massive changes to the UK economy. It also represents a huge ideological departure from the previous @Conservatives government - and the biggest tax giveaway since 1972. Read our quick-fire analysis here🔥 fourtold.eu/wp-content/uploa…

It's more important than ever for business leaders to be communicating about #ESG - but according to our recent research, many are MIA. It's time they felt the fear and did anyway. My piece for @PRWeekUK👇
PR bosses must face their fear and engage with ESG on social media #pr #comms bit.ly/3MCmv9z

"It is fair to say that the results of #COP26 were disappointing," writes our EU Public Affairs director @TatuLiimatainen in his latest @BrusselsTimes op-ed, adding "still, #COP26 may yet prove to be a stepping stone along the way to a better deal."

ESG issues have never been more important or higher up the boardroom agenda. 🟣Are your company's execs talking about ESG on social media? 🟣What's driving them to do this? 🟣What are the challenges?

Nice conversation with my Brussels based colleagues @TatuLiimatainen @OmarMockbil and @SparklyPinchy on climate policy, #COP26 and what it means to public affairs and #communications. Well worth a listen.
With #COP26 now underway and so much riding on its outcomes, our colleagues @OmarMockbil & @TatuLiimatainen recently joined @SparklyPinchy on the @Provoke_News podcast to talk about regulatory policy milestones around environment, climate, and sustainability.

"The eyes of the world will turn to Glasgow next week, where world leaders and various entourages gather to tackle climate change for the two-week-long UN climate summit," writes our EU Public Affairs director @TatuLiimatainen in his latest @BrusselsTimes op-ed on #COP26.

COP26 will be the 1st time since the 2015 #ParisAgreement, that countries will report on their work to tackle #climatechange & critically, what actions they will take by the end of this decade. Take a look at progress: ClimateActionTracker.org/cli… I #TogetherforOurPlanet
For climate vulnerable nations, keeping 1.5 alive is more than just words - it is a matter of survival We have 5 days to go until #COP26 If we don't act now, the end destination is climate catastrophe Paris promised, Glasgow must deliver👇

“...The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework lacks the ambition and specificity required to drive the urgent action needed.” Businesses can't address the #ClimateCrisis alone and are calling on govts to show greater policy ambition collaboration. #COP15 @BFNCoalition
