Not hugely convinced this is a planet-saver. But here you go. The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which enters into force on 18 July 2024, is the cornerstone of the Commission’s approach to more environmentally sustainable and circular products. Products and the way we use them can have a significant impact on the environment. Consumption in the EU can therefore be a major cause of climate change and pollution. The ESPR is part of a package of measures that are central to achieving the objectives of the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. They will contribute to helping the EU reach its environmental and climate goals, doubling its circularity rate of material use and to achieving its energy efficiency targets by 2030. https://lnkd.in/eGZKcq-k

POLICY NEWS I CO₂ value Europe Calls for EU Member States To Support an EU Sustainable Carbon Policy Package CO₂ value Europe co-signed a call on Member States to support the introduction of the European Sustainable Carbon Policy Package recently proposed by The Netherlands, Czechia, France and Ireland in the next term of the European Commission. The package, which lists CO₂ as one of the sources of sustainable carbon to be incentivised to substitute virgin fossil carbon, also calls for “[market] pull through product regulation, [to] help create a viable European market for products from sustainable carbon sources.” The pack is an opportunity in this context to address several strategic challenges for the EU: 🔵Strengthen the EU’s competitiveness: 🔵Contribute to meeting EU climate targets 🔵Boost EU raw materials security Find the full call at https://shorturl.at/QmuWr.

Let's face it: carbon offsetting has a credibility problem. Many of us struggle to trust these projects, especially when they’re far from home and we can’t see the impact firsthand. Too often, trees are planted in ways that don’t enhance local ecosystems, and the term ‘offsetting’ has sadly become synonymous with ‘greenwashing.’ But what if I told you there’s a new project in the UK that promises to change all that? I’m thrilled to announce a revolutionary initiative that brings transparency, credibility, and real environmental impact. Imagine being able to visit and even participate in a carbon offset project that you know is making a tangible difference. Our trees are indigenous, and carefully selected to enhance local biodiversity, and our plans will reshape rivers, boosting the entire ecosystem—from insects to birds to plants. And the best part? This project is designed to benefit future generations, with impacts you can see, feel, and share. It’s not just about offsetting; it’s about creating lasting, meaningful change. We’re not stopping at the environmental impact. This initiative will also uplift local schools, businesses, and communities, creating jobs and educational opportunities. It’s an all-encompassing effort to transform the region. But here’s the thing—this isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for cheap, quick fixes, this isn’t for you. If you’re serious about making a real, valuable impact, then join us. Sign up for our waitlist to stay updated. I’ll only be sharing details with those on the list until we’re fully underway. Are you ready to make a difference that counts? Let’s redefine what carbon offsetting can achieve, together. https://lnkd.in/eRuJUjTh

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published a briefing, highlighting the significant climate change mitigation benefits associated with circular economy and waste sector policies. 💡Waste management and circular economy actions play a huge role in reducing the need for new materials and cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions. But here's the kicker: current European policies might not be connecting climate neutrality and circularity enough. That's where we come in! 💪 📝EuRIC has already highlighted this important gap, stressing the need for a more integrated approach, calling for a Green Industrial Deal 2.0, which will use economic incentives to drive the investments needed to achieve the EU's twin transition. 🎯The aim is to enhance consistency across various EU legislations related to resource-efficiency, climate, and chemicals.

The European Commission is boosting waste-to-energy investments to drive the circular economy and reduce landfill reliance. Key steps include funding innovative projects, guiding member states, and setting strict environmental standards. ♻️ These efforts align with the EU’s climate neutrality goals for 2050. 🔗 Read more: https://shorturl.at/WpCTX

Addressing Global Environmental Issues: The Role of the Voluntary Carbon Market :- As environmental issues continue to escalate globally, from rising greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation and biodiversity loss, it is crucial to explore innovative solutions to mitigate these impacts. One promising approach is the voluntary carbon market (VCM), which offers a flexible and scalable way for businesses and individuals to offset their carbon footprints and invest in projects that promote environmental sustainability. The voluntary carbon market allows companies to purchase carbon credits, which represent a reduction or removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. These credits can support various projects, such as reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency initiatives, all of which play a vital role in combating climate change and preserving our planet for future generations. Many forward-thinking companies have already embraced the VCM, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. By investing in carbon offset projects, these organizations are not only reducing their own environmental impact but also contributing to the global effort to combat climate change. If you are interested in collaborating on projects within the voluntary carbon market or wish to purchase carbon credits, please reach out. Together, we can explore opportunities to make a positive impact on our environment and work towards a greener, more sustainable future. Let's join forces to create meaningful change. By participating in the voluntary carbon market, we can each play a part in making this earth greener and contribute to the overarching goal of environmental sustainability.

Ambitious actions and strategies #BeatWastePollution calls for sustainable actions towards zero waste by mainstreaming the reduce, reuse, and recycling practices where waste is viewed as a valuable resource that can have a second life and secondary raw materials are safely recovered.   UNEP's International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) provides developing countries with technical and advisory support through in-country demonstration projects and innovative waste prevention and management methods and technologies to improve human well-being, reduce the impact of climate change, increase resilience, and create job opportunities to envision a zero-waste future.   In December 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 77/161, promoting zero-waste initiatives and environmentally sound waste management practices that advances sustainable development #UNEP #Savetheplanetourlegacy
