“Outsourcing the consequences of your own bad decisions is not the path.” The illusion of carbon neutrality: why climate change can’t be solved by buying carbon offsets and outsourcing responsibility Interview with Tega Brain: Why carbon offsets may be delaying climate action instead of solving it On a Monday afternoon, New York-based coding artist Tega Brain sat in her studio overthinking dominant responses to climate change. Carbon offsets: an economics system that allows businesses to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by supporting ‘carbon positive’ projects.

It is almost seven years since Philip Hammond, then chancellor of the Exchequer, officially abolished the private finance initiative (PFI) in England, branding the model “inflexible and overly complex”. The Conservatives never warmed to that particular brand of public-private partnership (PPP) deals after coming to power in 2010, even though New Labour had by then used PFI to deliver more than 600 individual projects across the UK.

Derwent London (LSE: DLN) is one of them, having lifted its annual payout for 31 years in a row now. We’re looking at a 4.9% forecast dividend yield for 2025. A dividend like that, if it can keep on growing year after year, can be worth a lot more than the kind of headline big yield that’s here today, gone tomorrow. Forecasters see it rising at least for the next few years too. The predicted 6.5% increase between 2024 and 2027 isn’t huge.…

Image source: Getty Images As of this morning (22 September), Burberry (LSE:BRBY) has become a FTSE 100 share again. It’s only been away for a year but investors have clearly seen enough over the past 12 months to convince them that the British icon is on the road to recovery. Over the past three years, the group has suffered from a downturn in the luxury fashion market, including a reduction in spending by tourists visiting Europe. But under new leadership, Burberry is seeking to focus on — what it believes — are its core strengths of outerwear and scarves. It’s…
