The Government’s Build Back Better campaign has seen £4bn of taxpayer cash pledged to create 250,000 “green jobs” in the drive to cut carbon emissions by 2050. With the so-called “green industrial revolution” now officially under way, this special iMoney series looks at what qualifies as a green job.

Leo Groenewegen, co-founder of biotechnology company CellulaREvolution in Newcastle upon Tyne, is developing new processes to speed up and cut the cost of cultured meat production – a revolution that could significantly help the environment.

Feeding the world’s growing population with finite resources is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Livestock accounts for 14.5 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change hit the headlines recently after a major United Nations scientific report warned of “a code red for humanity” and that human activity is causing harm in unprecedented, sometimes irreversible ways.

Scientists warn that we cannot sustain our current demand for meat. The National Food Strategy, a review commissioned by the Government, recently urged that the UK’s meat consumption has to fall by 30 per cent in the next decade to reach targets related to health and climate change.

The industry causes major pressing environmental problems, including deforestation, biodiversity loss and air and water pollution.

Cultivated – or lab-grown – meat could address these challenges by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, using less land and water, preserving habitat and preventing manure pollution and antibiotic overuse.

What is cultured meat?

Cultured meat, sometimes called lab-grown, clean or cultivated meat, is grown in a lab from cells extracted from animals.

“Cultured beef molecularly is exactly the same as the meat tissue that comes from a cow,” said Mr Groenewegen, whose company started in 2019 as a spin-off from Newcastle University.

“There is no need to slaughter the animals. You take a small sample or biopsy from the animal. It’s non-invasive, it’s the same as taking a blood sample. The cells are placed in a bioreactor and there they proliferate and differentiate to form tissue.”

He explains that mimicking more complex cuts of meat – a filet mignon, for instance – requires additional techniques, such as growing muscle and fat cells on “scaffolds” made of a material such as gelatin or collagen.

What benefits does lab-grown meat potentially bring?

Recent studies by independent research firm CE Delft show that, compared with conventional beef, meat cultivated directly from cells may cause up to 92 per cent less global warming and 93 per cent less air pollution, and use up to 95 per cent less land and 78 per cent less water.

According to the Good Food Institute, cultivated meat can be produced more quickly and efficiently, with little waste.

“In the seven weeks it takes a farmer to raise a flock of 20,000 chickens, a meat cultivation facility could theoretically produce a million times as much meat from a starter culture the size of a single egg,” it explains.

But while veganism is a growing trend in the UK, many doubt whether people are motivated to cut back their meat consumption enough to help save the planet.

Cultivated meat has the potential to help us achieve climate goals without dramatic shifts in consumption patterns.

Additionally, cultured meat could be healthier for us, says Mr Groenewegen. “You can modify it as you want, for example its fat content. There are no microplastics in your fish and no antibiotics. There’s no bacteria – E. coli or salmonella which can occur in slaughtered animals. It also reduces the risk of zoonotic disease like Covid because there’s less interaction between factory farms and humans.”

What are the challenges?

The cost of producing lab-grown meat has been the main hurdle. The first dish-grown beef burger in 2013 cost $330,000, or around £240,000, and took a Netherlands company over two years to produce. The cost of an individual lab burger is expected to fall to around £7.50 this year.

“The price has really gone down, really rapidly,” said Mr Groenewegen. “It’s still too expensive for the everyday consumer at the moment and not quite as competitive as a standard burger. That’s what we are working on with our technology.”

And of course, if you want to sell a product, there’s one group you need to convince: consumers. “I think younger people are going to lead the way in embracing cultured meat.”

How can these challenges be overcome?

“We are developing enabling technologies, which will allow other companies to scale up their production,” said Mr Groenewegen. “Specifically, we are developing multiple types of bioreactors.”

This equipment will allow companies to change from producing the cultured meat in time-consuming batch methods and switch to continuous production. This will increase their yield and bring down manufacturing costs.

“For example, a small steak will contain 10 billion cells and using traditional batch processes this could take a single bioreactor one month to produce. Our technology could shorten that to a few days.”

Mr Groenewegen predicts that far from being a thing of science fiction, lab-grown meat is definitely on the near horizon. He expects CellulaREvolution, which has 10 employees, to at least triple its workforce in the next few years.

“I think that we are two to three years away from seeing cultured meat in high-end restaurants,” he said. “For it to go mainstream and be available on supermarket shelves, I think is four to five years away.”

Mr Groenewegen said that to bring down the cost, we will likely see products that contain a blend of cultured meat and plant-based ingredients.

America loves to think of itself as a rose, in bloom. We trumpet our freedoms and strength as if they are bright red petals on a summer day. It’s a damn shame though, that for most of the world, for 6 or 7 decades now, they look at us… and they only see the thorny stem.

It was merely August, 7 months ago, that I decried the pointless and fruitless war in Afghanistan. It wasn’t ever necessary, was doomed to failure, and represented a complete failure by our leaders to learn any lessons from history.

I am a pacifist. War is not the answer, and we’ve had 15,000 years to figure that out. Over and over again old grudges birthed new conflicts. So I decry this stupid war as well, the one Putin has started because he has nearly completed looting his home nation of Russia and now needs new lands to loot. It is a pattern seen over and over again, so the fact that he is the most successful mob boss in the history of the world should not blind us to the fact he is also just another tinpot dictator flailing about in an effort to preserve his gains.

Those are points 1 and 2: war is bad, and this bum is pretty run of the mill. Point 3 is less obvious, but the Ambassador from Kenya made it very well in his speech the other day: nurturing grudges from the past does no good, it’s better to look ahead and build a better future. This is something that is still possible, even though it seems unlikely with tanks rolling into Ukraine.

Point 4: it’s shockingly hypocritical how we have chosen to ignore so many other conflicts because this one feels ‘closer to home’ for our politicians. Syria has been mired in a water war for 8 years at least, too bad for them. Yemen has been trying to throw off the yoke of their Saudi neighbors, but gosh darn it Mohammed Bone Saw is our ally; so you Yemeni’s get to die. Gosh darn it. But oh look, Europe has gotten it’s feathers ruffled because 20 years ago a bunch of venal politicians lied to each other and now tempers have flared about it.

Point 5: We must go back to my very first statement: learning from history is a MUST. We failed to do so in our last 4 wars – – and pretty thoroughly lost them all. We failed to do so at the beginning of WWII, when we chose to let Spain fall to the Fascists, namely to some guy named Franco.

Not all of us, natch. Many Americans rightly saw the looming threat, and formed the Lincoln Brigade. They fought and bled and died alongside the Republicans in Spain. They lost, but they were on the right side of history. And so it is with point #5… we need to be on the right side of history here.

For 9 decades, since fall of 1945, the entire planet has lived under the shadow of the mushroom cloud. It has, to put it mildly, clouded our judgment. Most folk have pretended since 1991 that the cloud had lifted, but of course nothing at all had changed. And so now two very large armies are skirmishing in the winter mud outside of Kiev, and mothers across the planet are wondering how they will be able to shelter their children if fallout comes their way.

It’s unfortunate that the Russian people are going to be victimized just as the Ukraine’s people are. They didn’t want war. But they are trapped under his murderous sway, just as with Stalin and Lenin before him.

Pete Seeger told us that even pacifists should defend their home if it was invaded. For years I wrestled with that, I told myself that pacifism means nothing if it is not absolute. Fact is Seeger was right. And Putin isn’t just invading Ukraine. He is laying the groundwork for another time of soviet-style darkness for the whole world.

The rose that America deems itself to be cannot fail this time to prevent the rise of Putin-style Fascism. It galls me to say it, but this time we must set aside points 1 through 4 because #5 outweighs them all. This war was preventable, yet it is here, now. We made a deal with Ukraine when they gave up their nukes, we promised to protect them. Before all that we founded the United Nations and wrote the UN charter, which specifically demands action in defense of basic democracy and human rights. For these reasons, and for the ideals that we clung to as we defeated Hitler, this madman must be stopped. Don’t let Putin’s paid lackeys Carlson and Trump pull the wool over your eyes. After all, they have labored for ages to undermine the ideals of freedom and democracy.

So it comes to this: it’s time for the thorns.

I’m appalled at myself to be calling for war. So be it, the time for diplomacy came and went, regardless of how I felt about it.

I am a pacifist, though I never have been much of one. My hope now is that the Allies act swiftly, and fully. Don’t ‘half-ass’ it like we did in Viet nam, Iraq, etc. Make a plan and commit to it. Make plans not just for the battles but also for their aftermath. And do it now. There should not need to be a Lincoln Brigade stood up this time, governments should take the initiative.

The lessons of the Nuremberg trials were stark, and clear, and demanded that we never forget why that war was fought. Once again a madman seeks to enslave the world, starting with his next door neighbor. This time we need to rise against the threat, early enough to prevent a global catastrophe.

This version of “Morning Dew” features the song’s author, Bonnie Dobson. It also has a calmness to it that I appreciate, as an older dude. Of course it’s the most famous anti-nuke song of all time, it has been covered by just about everybody. I first heard it done by Blackfoot, their version is a barn-burner. Nazareth, too, tore the walls down with their cover. But I’m old. And tired, and this version sums it up best. No war, no nukes. The endgame is too horrifying to contemplate.

“Rather than form nations that looked ever backward into history with a dangerous nostalgia, we chose to look forward to a greatness none of our many nations and peoples had ever known,” Kimani said.

They’re also not people who get to drape themselves in the flag, or invoke allegiance to this nation, or feign offense at kneeling football players, or spout some red, white, and blue nationalistic nonsense—because they never cared about any of it.” – John Pavlovitz

Eurasian Women’s Forum Seeks Answers to Significant Questions in Women’s World

10.10.21 – Kester Kenn Klomegah, Pressenza News Service

On October 13-15, Saint Petersburg will host the Third Eurasian Women’s Forum primarily to review how women have performed in men’s dominated world, identify challenges and roadblocks on their way to gender equality and fight for higher social status and, of course, outline new strategic goals for the future.

Women have come a long way, indeed, since first their conference held 1986 in Beijing, China and resultantly declared March 8 – as International Women’s Day marks annually throughout the world. Women have taken up the fight, sometimes collaborating with women-conscious men and thus paving the way up to the top echelon in all economic and social spheres. Women now have a structured organization from the grassroots, in all countries, and up to regional organizations and to the United Nations.

Eurasian Women, the largest women group in the region, meet at the initiative of Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko. The first forum held in 2015, and the second in 2018. The forum is generally held under the aegis of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

Its participants include female leaders from the CIS and other foreign countries, women representatives of executive government bodies, international organizations, business circles, the scientific community, public and charity organizations, and respected members of the international women’s movements and associations.

This forum has won wide recognition as an effective mechanism of interaction and dialogue for women who are influencing social, political and economic decisions. It facilitates the growing participation of women’s movements in resolving global challenges of our time.

The chosen theme of the third Forum “Women: A Global Mission in a New Reality” has much significance for today’s world. Boosting international cooperation to enhance the role of women in order to meet the goals of sustainable development, forming women’s agenda and new approaches to solving global problems in the new reality – these are the main objectives for participants and organizers.

The business programme of the third forum includes plenary and expert sessions organized by international organizations and associations, discussions, an offsite meeting of the Women 20 (W20), public and private sector talks, business dialogues, webinars, workshops, and business breakfasts and a number of other events.

The participants will devote key debates to the role of women in ensuring global security, the transition to new models of economic growth and social progress, overcoming the adverse consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, developing healthcare, balancing universal digitization, and addressing global environmental and climate problems.

Expert sessions will be for international organizations and associations. Those include field sessions of Women 20, the UN session on industrial development (UNIDO), the World Bank session, the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance meeting, international club of APEC BEST AWARD winners and participants, and International Club of Women Regional Leaders.

For the first time, the Forum will feature meeting of the International Working Group of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency on improving gender balance in the nuclear energy industry.

Throughout the world, there is a growing demand for female leadership. Research has shown that companies with women on their boards of directors enjoy better results. As new skills requirements are emerging, so educational programmes for female leaders are becoming critical. The ability to share experience at an international level of implementing such programmes can help foster joint initiatives. This is also tur about women in political sphere.

In the face of global challenges, there is an increasing need for a new paradigm, along with a renewed focus on changing attitudes to women. Women have made an enormous contribution to efforts to improve health, raise life expectancy, and improve quality of life. These are the first role as women in the family, and this is unchangeable fact in the world.

The BRICS Women’s Business Alliance was first presented at the 2nd Eurasian Women’s Forum. The leaders of Brazil, India, China, Russia, and South Africa gave their unanimous support to the initiative, and adopted the declaration on the establishment of the alliance. Last year (2020) saw the official launch of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance.

The alliance seeks to implement multilateral cooperation projects aimed at consolidating and strengthening its role in the global economic agenda. The alliance’s areas of focus include the development of innovation, healthcare, food and environmental security, an inclusive economy, the creative industries, and tourism.

Women have been forging alliances and ahead of this forum for instance, the Women’s Business Association of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FLO FICCI), considered as the largest women’s business association in India, signed a memorandum of understanding with Russia. This collaboration aims at developing women’s entrepreneurship, social communications and at creating favourable conditions for cooperation between business circles in Russia and India.

It plans promoting entrepreneurship and professional excellence through seminars, conferences, lectures, trainings, and other events aimed at encouraging and stimulating the involvement of the skills, experience, and energy of women in all sectors and at all levels of economic activity.

The Eurasian Women Association has so many programmes and projects with other women’s groups and associations in the Eurasian region, in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

The Eurasian Women forum will be offline using modern formats such as video conferencing and online broadcast. This form will ensure the extended outreach and provide audience engagement. The interactive format will be in strict accordance with safety measures aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19. It is drawn up by the organizing committee and in line with approved requirements from the World Health Organization.

A Leftwing victory in Norway election puts oil exit at the heart of coalition talks

By Chloé Farand

As Norway’s leftwing opposition parties swept to electoral victory on Monday, their ability to govern hinges on reaching a deal on the future of the oil industry.

The leftwing bloc unseated a centre-right coalition headed by conservative prime minister Erna Solberg in an election dominated by climate issues.

Labour leader Jonas Gahr Støre came out on top, winning 48 of the Norway’s 169 seats in parliament. With support from his preferred partners the Centre Party and the progressive Socialist Left Party, Støre could become Norway’s next prime minister at the head of majority coalition government. But that will mean compromising on how far and fast to move Norway away from petroleum.

Støre, of the Labour party, previously described setting an end date to oil production as “throwing people into the sea and then throwing the rescue rings in afterwards” and backs a gradual transition.

The Socialist Left Party (SV) has called for an end to new oil exploration and production. Without its support, Støre will be unable to form a majority government.

Silje Lundberg, a senior campaigner with Oil Change International in Norway, told Climate Home News SV could have “a massive impact on the country’s future oil policy”.

“SV is likely to make limiting oil and gas production and exploration a make or break issue for participating in a potential government. We will see just how much and how willing the Labour Party is to let climate policy dictate oil and gas policies and not the other way around,” she said.

Norway is the world’s 13^th largest oil producer and exports nearly all of its production. It has the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, built on oil revenues.

Over the last eight years, 545 new exploration licenses were awarded to oil companies on the Norwegian continental shelf, according to Oil Change International analysis.

The sector’s ongoing expansion goes against what is needed to limit global heating to 1.5C. A recent study found that nearly 60% of the world’s oil reserves need to stay in the ground for a chance to meet the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

This tension animated the election debate, calling the future of the oil industry into question like never before.

Barbados pursues ‘Norwegian model’: going green at home and drilling for oil

Truls Gulowsen, chair of Friends of the Earth Norway, told Climate Home that political parties have become “more accepting that we need to have a controlled and managed phase-out of oil production”.

Only the Green Party in Norway went so far as to propose an end date for oil production – 2035. But as debate intensified two weeks before the vote, even the conservative government announced reforms to the oil tax regime that shifted the burden of exploration from the state to companies.

“Whatever happens, there will be significant changes to Norway’s oil regime as a result of this election,” Gulowsen added.

Among the three potential coalition partners, all agree that drilling around the pristine Lofoten islands, above the Arctic circle, is off limits.

Coalition talks will determine whether the new government will go a step further in restricting or ending new oil exploration.

Comment: We have set an end date for oil and gas production. The world should follow

Political observers say a compromise could be found in restricting or even ending oil exploration in new and unexplored areas, particularly in parts of the Arctic and the Barents Sea.

Erlend Andre Hermansen, senior research at the Oslo-based institute Cicero, told Climate Home that the Labour Party was unlikely to agree to end exploration in more mature fields that are located closer to existing installations. “I think that will be the main conflict line,” he said.

And any coalition agreement will need to convince SV members, who have been promised a vote on the final deal. This adds pressure on the party to deliver on its climate promises and could be used as leverage to persuade the Labour Party to accept more ambitious restrictions on oil production, Hermansen said. “But I don’t expect any revolution,” he added.

Internationally, a small but growing number of countries are setting limits on oil production. Ministers from Denmark and Costa Rica are trying to launch a club of countries committed to going beyond oil and gas.

Lundberg said Norway had a historical responsibility and the capacity to start a managed phase out of oil production and allow producers in developing countries more time to plan their transition to a cleaner economy.

Jeremy Corbyn: Climate Crisis Is a Class Issue

By Jeremy Corbyn

In a column for Jacobin, Jeremy Corbyn writes that we need class politics to transform our economies and save humanity from climate apocalypse. There’s no other way.

But it is also nothing significantly new. Scientists are taking an urgent tone because they have been making the same warnings for decades — while serious action on our warming world has failed to materialize.Indeed, oil giant Exxon predicted climate change in the 1970s — before going on to spend decades publicly denying its existence.

The political and economic system we live in does not produce climate change by accident but by design, rewarding big polluters and resource extractors with superprofits.

This is our historical legacy. In the UK, imperial-era fortunes were made from oil from places like the Persian Gulf, where Britain sponsored an antidemocratic coup in the 1950s to preserve the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company’s profits. AIOC later became BP, which continues to pump hundreds of millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere at sites from the Gulf of Mexico to the Caspian. And much of the world’s fossil money is handled by City of London financial institutions which specialize in managing oil profits.

More Disasters Are Coming

Around the world, governments continue to act on behalf of these fossil networks, even as they claim to be taking climate action. Boris Johnson has even copied the Green Industrial Revolution language we in the Labour Party developed. But he has copied only the words, not the actions. In June, the UK’s Climate Change Committee demonstrated that on its current course the government will fail to reach even its own woefully insufficient targets.

On May Day 2019, as leader of the Opposition, I successfully moved a parliamentary statement for Britain to declare a climate emergency — making ours the first parliament in the world to do so. I was, and remain, determined that the Labour Party and our movement should take the climate and environmental crisis very seriously.

If this system remains unchallenged, we can expect a swift increase in the floods, droughts, and wildfires that have ripped through Australia, Siberia, British Columbia, East Africa, California, and much of Europe over the last year. Intense rainstorms are up by two-fifths this century. The heaviest are three-quarters stronger than they were in the 1950s, and once-in-an-epoch hurricanes are now commonplace.

But it is not just the physical consequences of these events we need to worry about; it is also the political ones. In Greece, austerity, deregulation, and the neglect of fire services have magnified the impact of horrific blazes in Evia. In Texas earlier this year, the state allowed energy firms to price-gouge on emergency power, leaving people with unpayable debts.

And from the United States to the European Union, governments are investing in surveillance technology and military equipment to attack the refugees that environmental crises help create. The billions being spent on new guards and drones in the Mediterranean is money not being spent on a green transition, instead going to the profits of a border, surveillance, and military industry deeply tied to the fossil economy. The British Parliament is even currently debating a draconian Nationality and Borders Bill aiming to make it illegal to save refugee lives at sea — putting Britain at odds with the universal law of the sea.

With military budgets ballooning across the world, powerful countries are preparing for conflict, not cooperation, to deal with the climate emergency. Such false solutions will increase all our suffering; but as ever, will favor the wealthy few while punishing the many — whether people flooded out of their homes in England or people fleeing drought in North Africa.

We Can Stop This

But it doesn’t have to be like this, and our reaction must be one of hope rather than fear. Climate scientists can and do tell us with forensic accuracy what a temperature rise of 1.5 or 3 or 5 degrees will do to sea levels, water scarcity, or biodiversity. But the reason they cannot predict what that rise will be is because it is impossible to predict the choices we will make next. Those, as the IPCC report reminds us, are still up to us.

And if we take on the powerful, removing the systemic incentives to burn the planet for a quick windfall, we can do things differently. That means workers everywhere mobilizing for a global Green New Deal at COP26 this year which takes carbon out of the atmosphere and puts money back in workers’ pockets, while tackling injustice and inequality in the Global South. There is no town anywhere that would not benefit from green public transport, or rewilding with new forests, or local renewable energy, or jobs in the green industries of the future.

From climate change, to poverty and inequality, to our dangerous collective failure to get poorer countries vaccinated against COVID-19, we are living through the consequences of a system that puts billionaires first and the rest of us last. The climate and environmental crisis is a class issue. It is the poorest people in working-class communities, in polluted cities, and in low-lying island communities who suffer first and worst in this crisis.

But we do still have the power to change it. In 2019, schoolchildren striking for climate action captured the imagination and attention of people around the globe overnight. If they can do it, so can we. Our response to the climate “code red” must be to work in our communities, in politics, in schools and universities, in our workplaces and with our trade unions to demand and win a livable planet — and a system which puts human life and well-being first.
