The World Bank poured 3.7 billion dollars into fossil fuels around the world last year despite repeated promises to refocus on shifting to a low-carbon economy, according to research from campaign group Ungewald.
The money went through a special form of funding known as trade finance, which is used to facilitate global transactions and is more opaque than standard project finance.

Lots of #3D Models with nice licences on https://sketchfab.com like this architecture model of a house with a garage, #woodframe, carpentry style. I love it!

@paoloredaelli Qcad è quello che uso pure io ora, ma di fatto solo per i DWG che (purtroppo) mi mandano visto che il 99% delle persone usa Autocad (craccato, as usual). E' un bellissimo pezzo di Opensource pure quello, e sono ben contento di usare la versione a pagamento per sostenerlo (parlo di #Qcad tra l'altro costa pochissimo). Spero che con IFC le cose cambino e presto. #FreeCAD ora legge/scrive nativamente #IFC, lo stanno implementando in questo momento, c'è molto fermento. #nativeifc

Very much resonates with my thoughts that #IfC will need to co-exist as kind of empowering extension with #nocode / #lowcode options. In #CAIOS we were doing exactly as they did, just generated #AWS #APIGW and #Lambda directly from the #pyhton code: https://www.levels.fyi/blog/scaling-to-millions-with-google-sheets.html?utm_source=tldrnewsletter

🌍 At Oslandia we have been working on a #3D #geospatial library for #web applications. It is #opensource, based on THREE.js and called Giro3D. Lots of new features described in this article :
https://oslandia.com/en/2023/02/09/les-nouveautes-sur-giro3d/
👉 See the examples : https://giro3d.org/examples/index.html
🎮 You can also play with #CoG, #pointcloud data, BIM #IFC, #GIS Webservices and many types of data !

First was an excellent short event at the #IFC on current topics in corporate governance. This was a much more globally representative group than you get in most discussions, and the topics certainly resonated: #algorithms, #bias, #DEI, and quantifiable, standardized #ESG metrics. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeMFL5C_x4A (2/6)

Next was the second session of the #IFC's #competition and #productivity conference. The final talk and panel are skippable IMO, I particularly liked the #WorldBank talk examining #Peru's unique regulatory changes that allowed for the measurement of competition's impact on productivity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83NqXNVrmOU (3/5)
