We're excited about our coming event at the COP29 on Monday November 18th "From Growth to Sufficiency: 'Cap and Share' and other policy pathways for justice and climate action". Join our diverse panel discussing systems that can bring about justice and sustainability in climate policies. The side event pairs Feasta, (the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability) with the European Youth Forum and features Equal Right, the European Economic and Social Committee and Oxfam International. Objectives: Promote equitable and just access to resources, addressing imbalances and fostering sustainable resource management across the Global North and South. Introduce innovative ways of promoting more sustainable and responsible consumption patterns while reducing the negative environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with excessive use of carbon resources. Test the acceptability of the Cap and Share proposal by the audience. Cap and Share is a collaborative climate strategy between the Global North and South, empowering the Global South to innovate and improve living conditions, while benefiting the Global North through stronger cooperation and financial stability.

🌊 Achieving sustainable and inclusive development of ocean and coastal states through a #BlueEconomy approach is not just a vision, but a tangible reality! Collective action, ambition, a systems lens and providing more evidence are key elements to reach that goal. Today, I was delighted to moderate an enlightening conversation with our distinguished speakers Sabine Bernabe and Lauren Kelly from the Independent Evaluation Group, UN Environment Programme's Ole Vestergaard, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States OECS’s Shanna Emmanuel and University of Portsmouth’s Steve Fletcher, during the first session of our series with DEval - German Institute for Development Evaluation ahead of #COP29. Their insights underscored the critical importance of integrating economic growth, improved livelihoods, and the preservation of ocean ecosystems.   💬 Read our recent evaluation to explore how we can collectively drive #Evidence4ClimateAction and foster a thriving Blue Economy for future generations: https://lnkd.in/dtRxB2FE #E4CA

Research by WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development and BRAE, with inputs from over 60 experts, identified key elements for successful public-private collaboration: aligning corporate and national transition plans, using intermediaries for focus, safeguarding from political and financial shifts, and adapting to local needs. Examples like Denmark’s Climate Partnerships and Sweden’s Fossil Free program show the value of stable, politically-independent frameworks. Read more about why a new, flexible structure with dedicated tools and facilitators is essential for fast, goal-oriented collaboration. https://lnkd.in/eBtpZ52U Jennie Dodson | Lewis Hill | Suzy Glass | Lewis Howard | James MacPherson,

The Nordic countries continue to lead in progress toward the SDGs, with Finland, Denmark, and Sweden securing the top three spots, followed by Norway (5th) and Iceland (10th). This ranking was highlighted in the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025, released today. However, the main challenges remain the same as in previous years. Like the rest of Europe, the Nordics face significant challenges in sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13). These issues have global implications, as they are linked to substantial negative spillover effects. Once again, this serves as an important reminder for Nordic governments, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the European Commission to intensify efforts in addressing these challenges.

Today in Bonn, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, UN Climate Change, UN Biodiversity, and UN Convention to Combat Desertification launched 'Seeking Synergy Solutions: Four Thematic Reports' by the Expert Group on Climate and Sustainable Development Goals Synergy. Convened by the UN, this expert group includes us, Future Africa UP, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), UK Research and Innovation, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, and UrbanBetter. The report on accelerating action through policy frameworks is co-thematically led by Måns Nilsson, SEI Executive Director and co-authored by Adis Dzebo, SEI Senior Research Fellow. Countries are off track on sustainable development and missing key SDG and Paris Agreement targets. According to Nilsson, this new report guides senior officials on integrating climate and sustainability plans, emphasizing synergy with practical examples and tools. Starting in early 2025, Parties to the Paris Agreement will submit more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions. Dzebo notes this is a chance to boost domestic sustainable development and climate efforts. These four thematic reports will contribute to the 2024 Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergy that will be launched during the 2024 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York in July. The goal is for the report to play a major role in discussions at the Fifth Global Climate and SDG Synergy Conference, set for September 5-6 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
