FleishmanHillard EU

Global leaders are currently gathered in Cali, Colombia, for the 16th World Biodiversity Conference, #COP16 🌱🌎   At the forefront of the discussion is the implementation of the 2022 agreement, which sets an ambitious goal to halt the loss of species and ecosystems by 2030.   As we face the growing challenges of #ClimateChange, Europe is measuring the urgency - underlines our own biodiversity expert, Meropi Klogka. "Amidst discussions on institutional renewal for long-term competitiveness and resilience, upcoming EU legislation needs to support the scaling up of nature-based solutions across sectors. These solutions should integrate nature restoration with overall productivity, thus ensuring both food security and energy security." 💭 #NatureRestoration #FoodSecurity #EnergySecurity

Back from Istanbul where our very own Peter Wilson, Head of Digital Reputation EMEA, recently attended the vibrant International Communications Consultancy Organisation (ICCO) Global Summit!   Gathering communication leaders from Europe, Asia, and the US, the ICCO Global Summit offered a key platform for PR experts to discuss the future of the industry, looking at the sector's impact on geopolitics, elections, and corporate decision-making.   Here are Pete's key takeaways: 🔵 AI revolution incoming: 40% of communications tasks could soon be automated by AI, and communicators have an "ethical responsibility" towards clients in using it. PR professionals should embrace AI. It is not a threat, but a force for good. 🔵 Data and intuition are the future: While we need to use data to lead our conversation, it is intuition that should guide us through the data. 🔵 Disinformation on the rise: Disinformation could soon lead to serious disruption. A “weapon of mass distraction”, it holds commercial, political, and military power. As communicators, it is our duty to combat it. 🔵 Shifting priorities: Businesses are increasing investments in thought leadership and content marketing, while paid media is expected to decline. 🔵 DE&I and diversity must stay a priority: A recent survey from Global Women in PR highlighted ongoing challenges for women - especially mothers and older women - in leadership. In the US in particular, DE&I suffered some backlash against investments.    Looking ahead, it's clear that the role of PR is evolving - and it's up to us to stay ahead of the curve. Exciting times for our industry!
