The cost of environmental impacts on business operations are doubling every 14 years, according to a report that stresses stakeholders should act now. 
The value of private equity investment in the cleantech sector has continued to see-saw in the last couple of months, and January's activity continued this trend, according to data compiled by Zephyr and Bureau van Dijk exclusively for NewNet. 
The vast majority of energy and natural resource executives believe that a post-2012 Kyoto agreement will fail, according to a new report. 
The value of private equity, venture and development capital investment in global cleantech companies increased for the second consecutive year in 2011, reaching $9.70bn.

Sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) themes are becoming increasingly entrenched in alternative asset classes, according to new research. 
South Africa has launched its much-anticipated renewable energy procurement plan, setting in motion the country’s plan to derive 42 per cent of new generation from renewable energy sources. 
Startling statistics produced by a UN Environment Programme study show that it is the least likely countries that appear to be taking the lead in the development of renewable energy resources on a utility-scale, with investors around the world pumping investors a record $211bn into the sector during 2010. 
How climate finance is implemented in developing countries too often ignores the fundamental issues of how we pay for the incremental costs of decarbonisation in the developing world, a new report highlights.
European biofuel trade association ePURE has warned that United Nations recommendations made in preparation for a G20 ministerial meeting tomorrow threaten biofuel subsidies. 
Hedge funds and other foreign speculators are increasing price volatility and supply insecurity in the global food system by acquiring African arable land for export commodities, including biofuels, according to US think tank the Oakland Institute. 
Large and publicly traded companies are performing at higher levels when it comes to sustainability and the environment than smaller businesses, due to greater availability of resources and finances to support sustainability programmes, new United Nations (UN) findings have shown. 
Enough biotechnology crops were grown in 2010 worldwide to cover the entire land area of China, just 15 years after they were initially commercialised, new findings show. 
Investing just two per cent of global gross domestic product into ten sustainable sectors would be sufficient to jump-start a low carbon economy and accelerate global gross domestic product, a new United Nations report finds. 
More than two-thirds of companies are planning to increase their commitment to sustainability this year, despite the tough economy, according to a new report. 
Investors risk compromising African communities and the environment by entering into hurried, clandestine or one-sided deals with African nations, the International Institute for Environment and Development has warned. 
The value of private equity and venture capital investment in cleantech companies declined month-on-month in November, erasing two previous months of growth and putting deal volume and value back among the lowest levels recorded this year, according to data compiled by Zephyr and Bureau van Dijk exclusively for NewNet.
A combination of M&A activity, alliances and invested capital means the home energy hardware and software business is rapidly developing. Although still in its infancy, its ability to connect with the smart grid sector makes for a compelling argument.
