Can the U.S deter Russia’s invasion on Ukraine?

Published

on

US officials are currently deciding whether or not they should launch a wide set of sanctions on Russia in an attempt to prevent the nation from invading Ukraine

The proposed sanctions allegedly include actions against Putin’s inner circle and Russian energy producers.

There is also one option that would see Russia removed from the SWIFT international payment system used by banks around the world.

Officials say the final decisions haven’t been made, as Biden continues talks with European counterparts over how best to deal with the critical situation.

Many of these European nations have closer economic relationships with the Kremlin… and it’s hoped this will help coordinate action.

A senior administration official told CNN that the US is prepared to take “substantive economic countermeasures” meant to inflict “significant and severe economic harm on the Russian economy” if Putin does move forward with Ukraine military escalation.

This comes as Biden prepares to speak with Putin via video chat on Tuesday.

Published

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
