paris climate agreement

Over 2 billion people in our world lack access to adequate food, and over 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet. Between 2014 and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people going hungry and suffering from food insecurity had been gradually rising. The pandemic only made things worse. And the Ukraine war has further disrupted global supply chains. In 2021, 702-828 million people faced hunger. The gender gap in food insecurity has widened under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic and women are more food insecure than men in every region of the world.

Food is linked to almost all of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And it is difficult if not virtually impossible to meet these global goals and the Paris Climate Agreement, without a radical transformation of the global food system.

What is the Paris Climate Agreement?  Why is President Biden so anxious to rejoin this agreement?  We will discuss the pros and cons of this agreement! 

The ASX200 is eyeing a fall of 0.3% at the open.

A day under US President Biden’s leadership and he’s kicked the focus to renewable energy, by re-joining the Paris Climate agreement and re-engaging with the World Health Organisation.  

What to watch today:
- Energy stocks could see another pull back today after the oil price fell 0.5% with Biden planning to roll back oil and gas infrastructure projects. 
- The Federal and South Australian Government announced SA will receive a $45 million handout to expand its recycling infrastructure.
- Keep an eye on travel stocks like Flight Centre (ASX:FLT) and Webjet (ASX:WEB) as Emirates will resume flights on Monday to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
- Preliminary retail sales data is out today and is expected to show sales cooled in December after November sales grew 7.1%, which was the biggest jump in sales in six months.

Local trading ideas:
- Cluey (ASX:CLU) was given a speculative buy rating by Bell Potter.
- Coronado Global Resources (ASX:CRN) was upgraded by Bell Potter with a new $1.55 target.
- BetMakers Technology (ASX:BET), Bellevue Gold (ASX:BGL) & Trek Metals (ASX:TKM) are giving off bullish charting signals according to Trading Central.

Environmental lawyer and activist Richard Lazarus talks about The Paris Agreement and its legacy, his new book The Rule of Five, the current administration’s undoing of EPA acts, and offers a poignant reminder of the difference one person can make.

What are the consequences of the United States backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement? In June, the Trump administration announced the move. In this episode, former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz says exiting the Agreement is bad for science-based decision making, national and energy security, and innovation. However, he says, there’s one note of optimism: cities, states, and the business community are primed to keep the country on course to the low carbon future that we need. Moniz speaks with Susan Tierney, a senior advisor at Analysis Group.
