This is how climate and environmental policies influence energy investment choices
Governments play a crucial role in shaping the energy sector's transformation through the implementation of climate and environmental (CE) policies. These policies not only aim to drive change but also have a profound impact on the perceptions and behaviors of market participants. Environmental economists have long advocated for the use of policy instruments, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, to effectively price carbon emissions. By doing so, these policies seek to internalize the environmental damages caused by carbon dioxide emissions and provide economic incentives for transitioning to cleaner energy sources.

Class Act
In the area of Mexico where I live (Baja, California) there is really only one main highway. This road which is (very appropriately I think) known as route 1 (officially carretera federal 1) runs north south along the pacific coast (mostly) of the Baja Peninsula from almost the southernmost tip (Cabo) to the border with the state of California in the United States. There are two different "versions" of route 1 in many portions of Baja, the cuoto (toll) portion and the libre (free) version. As you might guess the toll version of route 1 is more like a traditional highway in the United States, with faster speed limits (90-110KPH, 55-70MPH) and no stop lights or signs. In contrast the libre sets up much like a state route or large county road in the states with slower speeds and either a few stop lights and signs or many of these depending on where exactly one is driving. The two versions run mostly parallel to each other, though not always. This can be quite confusing as it is often not clear which version of route 1 one needs to be on to reach any given destination. It definitely challenges Google Maps and it is notorious for not differentiating between the two, resulting in many wasted trips and miles when navigating around the peninsula.

Resources for Elevating Our Cultural Intelligence
When I conduct surveys involving global teams, there is always one common thread strung throughout: people want to learn more about the different cultures of their team members. While having direct dialogue is important, it is also crucial we seek information on our own so as not to overwhelm our team members. As such, I have compiled a few online resources to help us all become better familiarized with the cultures and practices of different countries around the world:
