    The development and usage of AI is rapidly accelerating, placing increasing demand on our world’s natural resources. This is particularly salient in areas where data centres are located, with energy and water resources already showing visible strain.

    At the same time, AI systems have the potential to rapidly speed up the transition to net-zero by optimising energy systems and enabling innovation and discovery.

    China's solar industry is a poster child for the country's economic rise over the last four decades.

    Focal points

    • Chinese local subsidies for solar production, installation and R&D were a major driver of the sector’s explosive growth and global cost declines.
    • Industrial policies explained roughly 40% to 50% of changes in innovation, revenues and prices from 2004 to 2020, with large welfare gains before environmental benefits are counted.
    • Solar offers evidence that targeted green industrial policy can accelerate innovation, though design matters and lessons may not transfer cleanly to all sectors.

    Contents

    … includes …

    • China’s solar industry
    • How policy led to innovation in solar energy
    • What was the local impact of China’s industrial policy?
    • What was the national impact of China’s industrial policy?
    • What lessons can we learn?

    "‘Reference narratives’ are beliefs that spread contagiously “go viral”, self-reinforce. But what if the narratives shaping sustainable finance don’t fully reflect reality?

    The latest thoughtful, jazzy episode of The Transition Tapes is called: The power of ‘Reference Narratives’: How the stories we tell about sustainable finance and the way we test the truth/reality of those narratives is fundamental to progress.

    In this episode, I chat with Harald Walkate, Advisor on Financing Sustainability & Blended Finance: Route17 and Senior Advisor Blended Finance Lab at the LSE.

    We cover:

    • Why certain narratives dominate sustainable finance
    • The gap between market-led thinking and policy reality
    • Whether current approaches are set up to deliver real impact
    • What needs to change for the transition to actually work"

    Clarity Turns Conviction into Competitive Edge

    "The landscape of responsible investment has entered a new and more demanding phase.  One that rewards clarity above all else. The debate has moved on from questioning the meaning of sustainability, to questioning 
    whether it is practised intentionally and from within. If so, what is the intent? Regulatory pressure, performance disappointments, and political backlash have exposed the difference between asset managers for whom responsible investment is a genuine part of who they are, and those for whom it was always a posture.

    That difference is now more visible to clients, to regulators, and to the market. Naming it, measuring it, and acting on it is precisely what RIBI 2026 is for."

    Insights from SustainoMetric’s Assessment Across 50 Companies

    AI is transforming ESG analysis—but its value is highly dependent on the nature of disclosures. SustainoMetric’s assessment across 50 companies and 30 ESG indicators finds that AI delivers the strongest results when disclosures are structured, explicit, and measurable.

    AI excels at extracting and standardizing information such as emissions data, governance structures, policy frameworks, and quantified sustainability targets, enabling faster, more consistent, and scalable analysis. Its performance is particularly strong with numerical and well-defined data, where comparability and clarity are high.

    The key insight: structure is the enabler of AI performance in ESG. Where disclosures follow standardized formats, AI significantly enhances efficiency and reliability.

    However, ESG insights are not always structured. Critical areas like supply chains, workforce practices, and governance quality remain context-driven and require human judgment.

    The future of ESG analysis lies in a hybrid approach leveraging AI for structured data while relying on human expertise for interpretation and context.

    (https://www.iss-corporate.com/resources/blog/rare-earth-minerals-the-hidden-backbone-of-the-energy-transition/)

    The global shift to clean energy and sustainable transportation is inseparable from access to rare earth minerals and other critical raw materials. Technologies – such as wind turbines, electric vehicles (EVs), and solar panels – rely on these elements to achieve high performance, lightweight design, and maximum efficiency. Without them, large-scale production of permanent magnets, advanced batteries, and efficient photovoltaic cells would be impossible.

    The International Energy Agency (IEA) underscores this dependency: an average EV requires six times more minerals than a conventional car, while onshore wind turbines demand up to nine times more mineral resources than gas-fired power plants. This mineral intensity makes supply security a strategic priority for the energy transition.

    Nearly a quarter of workers age 50-plus feel like they are being pushed out of their jobs even though workforce trends suggest employers should be encouraging and supporting staff of all ages, according to a new survey from AARP Research.

    The results show that age bias remains a persistent challenge for workers age 50 and older, whose fear of losing their current job is compounded by the worry that age discrimination would prevent another employer from hiring them.
