Carrots First
Anne Simpson, Global Head of Sustainability, and Ben Meng, Chairman of Asia Pacific, Franklin Templeton, consider how government incentives can accelerate the shift to green energy. Many government policies – both carrots and sticks – are driving the global transition to greener energy systems. To analyse the global transition drivers, we compare regulatory sticks, like carbon pricing, with carrots, like feed-in tariffs that subsidise solar renewables.
【微信小程序 SocketTask 详解】
说明： 首先，在 onLoad 函数中调用 connectSocket 函数连接 WebSocket。 connectSocket 函数的实现如下： a. 调用 wx.connectSocket 方法连接 WebSocket。 b. 监听 WebSocket 的打开事件，并发送一条消息：“Hello, WebSocket!”。 c. 监听 WebSocket 的消息事件，并将接收到的消息添加到日志列表中。 d. 监听 WebSocket 的错误事件，并将错误消息添加到日志列表中。 e. 监听 WebSocket 的关闭事件，并将关闭消息添加到日志列表中。 实现关闭 WebSocket 的函数 closeSocket。 实现发送消息的函数 sendSocketMessage。如果 WebSocket 已经打开，则调用 wx.sendSocketMessage 方法发出消息；否则将待发送的消息推入一个消息队列中。 实现一个 addToLog 函数，用于将日志添加到日志列表中。
To activate hope, activate capital
The atmosphere at the end of last month’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Egypt was rather sobering. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced countries to turn to thermal coal and other fossil fuels to meet their energy needs, likely postponing the transition to a net-zero economy. But COP27 also underscored the need to leverage public policy, regulation, and technological innovation to achieve a climate-secure future.
Para activar la esperanza hay que activar al capital
La atmósfera al final de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (COP27) del mes pasado en Egipto fue aleccionadora.

The carbon price solution
SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA — The quest for carbon neutrality has begun in earnest. More than 70 countries, including the world’s biggest polluters, have set net-zero targets for carbon dioxide emissions, with hundreds of cities, companies and investors committing to complementary strategies. But a successful net-zero transition will require a fundamental transformation of the real economy.

La solución del precio del carbono
La búsqueda de una neutralidad de carbono ha comenzado en serio. Más de 70 países, incluidos los mayores contaminadores del mundo, han fijado metas de cero neto para las emisiones de dióxido de carbono, mientras que cientos de ciudades, empresas e inversores se comprometieron a implementar estrategias complementarias. Pero una transición a cero neto exitosa exigirá una transformación fundamental de la economía real.
The carbon price solution
The net-zero transition requires the rapid development at scale of new technologies, energy-efficient infrastructure, and carbon capture and storage. A carbon price, together with the elimination of fossil-fuel subsidies, would give investors powerful incentives to finance these and other imperatives. The quest for carbon neutrality has begun in earnest.

Saving America’s Public Pensions | by Ben Meng - Project Syndicate
US President-elect Joe Biden may have promised a “return to normalcy,” but the truth is that there is no going back. The world is changing in fundamental ways, and the actions the world takes in the next few years will be critical to lay the groundwork for a sustainable, secure, and prosperous future.
Opinion | Calpers Prepares for the Long Haul
Market turmoil has thrown a spotlight on the challenges that public pension funds face in delivering retirement security to public employees. The debate about how to meet obligations is important for policy makers, who worry that securing the benefits pensioners depend on will burden state and local governments—and future generations. As the largest defined-benefit public pension fund in the U.S., the California Public Employees’ Retirement System has been anticipating these questions.
