The<\/span> Marche wine region<\/a><\/span> reaches east from the mountainous spine of Italy to the Adriatic. This week\u2019s low-yield Verdicchio is a hallmark of the varietal, with refreshing citrus fruits, playful acidity, and complex minerality. Made only with juice from a gentle half-press, it is precise and engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Established\u00a0in 1968\u00a0as a DOC of 18 hilly communes, the Verdicchio Classico, or Castelli di Jesi,<\/em> region, is located some 35 kilometers inland from Ancona, an unusual wine region near the Adriatic coast where red grapes are grown close to the sea, and white grapes prefer to be slightly inland. The distinction of being \u201cClassico\u201d is a recognition that \u201cthis is what wine from this grape is meant to taste like!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Wine history of the region dates back to the Romans and before, with some clay artifacts such as amphorae dating the region\u2019s wine production back to the Iron Age. These days, the verdicchios from the region have developed a consistent quality and tasting profile that sets them apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong> Economics of the Heart: Getting on Track Against Climate Change <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The world has known for many decades about the linkage between fossil fuels and global warming. Numerous studies contracted by the oil industry as early as the mid-seventies pioneered effective methodologies for assessing the financial, social, environmental, and economic impacts of these projected changes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years the broad impacts predicted by those early models have proved surprisingly accurate in modeling how increased greenhouse gases would affect patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation, evaporation, rainfall, winds, flooding, ocean currents, ice cap responses, all of it. I had a part in one of those studies in 1980 looking at the possible impacts of global warming on world fisheries.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

While I was skeptical that the political and economic power of the fossil fuel industry was likely to allow meaningful or timely response to this very serious environmental threat, I never dreamed the industry would <\/span> not only delay action for four decades<\/em>, but also go to considerable expense to downplay any threat of global warming, (and probably supplying Reagan with his quip that it had more to do with livestock farts than fossil fuels.)<\/em> The whole world would not be in the mess it is today if energy industry executives had chosen to help rather than delay and obfuscate– as, we presume, they had been taught to do in business school.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, hopefully the decisions of this latest COP 28 will prove better late than never. The resultant unanimous agreement at this meeting seems due to the work of the the High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities,<\/span><\/a> a special committee formed by the Secretary-General of the UN specifically to increase the likelihood of success.<\/span>\u00a0 The goal of the group was, in preparation for the recent COP23 meeting, to develop stronger and clearer standards for net-zero emissions pledges by non-State entities \u2013 including businesses, investors, cities, and regions \u2013 and speed up their implementation. The Group generated ten how-to recommendations for credible, accountable net-zero pledges for what non-State actors need to follow to achieve net-zero ambitions, a how-to guide for credible, accountable net-zero pledges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since it was launched last spring, the <\/span>Group<\/span><\/a> pursued its work amidst a persistent pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, global inflation, energy security concerns, and<\/span>
\nincreasingly destructive climate change\u2010fueled extreme weather around the world. Climate-related disasters have <\/span>been most acutely felt in the world\u2019s least developed countries, exacerbating the debt crisis they already face and underlining how the developed economies exported the environmental costs of their years of inaction onto the poorest societies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is apparent when we see that the Top Five global emitters (China, US, India, EU, and Russia)<\/em> accounted for about 60 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions<\/em> in 2021, and the Group of 20\u00a0(Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union<\/em>) are responsible for\u00a0about 76 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.<\/em>
