Energy companies including Shell, BP, Chevron, and ExxonMobil offered a combined $192 million for drilling rights on federal oil and gas reserves in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, as the first government lease auction under President Joe Biden laid bare the hurdles he faces to reach climate goals dependent on deep cuts in fossil fuel emissions.

Norway has announced suspected omicron infections linked to a Christmas party in Oslo.
More than half of some 120 people present have tested positive -- even though they were reportedly all vaccinated.

Ricardo now joins a growing group of global businesses that have received approval of their targets, ensuring that greenhouse gas emissions from Ricardo's operations (scopes 1 and 2)[1] are consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5ºC, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

The targets, as approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, are:

1. Ricardo commits to reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2031 from a 2020 base year, modelled using the Absolute Contraction approach.

2. Ricardo also commits to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 90% by 2026.

3. In addition, Ricardo has made a commitment to reduce scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 27.5% by 2031 from a 2020 base year.

A number of oil and utilities companies in our portfolio have business plans that are incompatible with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, we divest our investments to a total value of DKK 458 million.

Goodbye to BP and Equinor.....
Unfortunately, we must now state that we have not seen the necessary progress. BP’s climate goals, for example, do not include all their relevant activities, while Equinor’s plans to develop new oil fields are unsatisfactory. ”
