Material handling processes contribute significantly to global climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, be it through extraction, manufacture, transport, use or disposal. There is a great opportunity for Europe to lead the way in reducing its impact, and that is why I was proud to help coordinate the "Material world: The EU’s path to a 1.5°C future" event, alongside my Eunomia Research & Consulting colleagues and Zero Waste Europe.   The evening, held on Thursday in Brussels, followed the publication of our "Managing materials for 1.5°C" report and focused on what steps could be taken in the EU to transition its current linear material economy to a circular one. A necessity, many would agree, to meeting our global warming targets. The event was attended by key stakeholders representing organisations across the EU who came to see presentations from Chris Sherrington (Eunomia Research & Consulting), and Lieze Cloots (Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union). The presentation was followed by a panel consisting of Jesus Alquezar (DG Environment of the European Commission), Andrew Cave (ESBA - European Small Business Alliance), Aline Maigret (Zero Waste Europe), Chris Sherrington (Eunomia Research & Consulting), and chaired by Joan Marc Simon (Zero Waste Europe). The panel and subsequent QA led to insightful discussions on what actions could and should be taken in the EU to transition it to a truly circular economy. A transition that, I for one, believe we must continue implementing. To download the report, and for further information on the recommendations we are making, please visit https://lnkd.in/ekpS_i4d

🌍 World Environment Day 2024: Our Land. Our Future. 🌿 Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we join the global community in focusing on "Our land. Our future." With ecosystems worldwide at a tipping point, the urgency to restore our land has never been greater. Up to 40% of the planet’s land is degraded, impacting half of the world's population. Since 2000, droughts have increased by 29%, and without action, could affect three-quarters of the population by 2050. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) calls for global efforts to revive ecosystems, crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This year’s theme, "We are Generation Restoration," reminds us that while we cannot turn back time, we can grow forests, revive water sources, and restore soils. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and look forward to COP 16 in Riyadh this December, let's commit to making peace with our land. 🌱 Why take part? To keep global warming below 1.5°C, we must halve annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Without urgent action, air pollution and plastic waste in aquatic ecosystems will drastically increase. Join us in celebrating World Environment Day and take steps towards a sustainable future. Together, we are #GenerationRestoration. #GreenCo #SustainableFuture Ana Hajduka

Ecosystems are nearing a tipping point, with 40% of land degraded, affecting half the global population. World Environment Day 2024, themed "Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration," emphasizes these issues and coincides with the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and COP 16 in Riyadh. Celebrated on June 5th, it calls for urgent action on climate change, pollution, and plastic waste. Led by UNEP, let's work together for a sustainable future. #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #Globalrightsdefender

Who knows where COP29 will be held this year ? Countries globally have agreed to meet mitigation targets for climate change. One of the objectives is to reduce global warming to a degree of 1.5 °C below preindustrial levels. Consequently, by 2030, carbon emissions to have been reduced by 45%, and achieve a carbon-neutral environment by 2050, as stipulated in the 2015 Paris Agreement adopted by 196 parties in its 21st conference. The rate of global population increase is proportionate to the rate of plastic disposal from end-users. This has critically influenced the progress towards meeting the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) goals with respect to clean energy, and economic resilience while reviewing options of regulation and life cycle assessment (LCA) for sustainable plastic waste management. Sustainable management of all forms of waste would play a significant role in accomplishing the SDGs, conceptualising all SDGs to have either a direct or indirect relationship with the management of waste. The establishment of equilibrium between economic development and conversation of finite natural resources is what sustainability seeks.

Today we are celebrating a milestone on our sustainability journey! 🌍✅ We are proud to share the news that our near-term targets for 2030, our long-term targets, and our net zero target for 2040 have been officially validated by Science Based Targets initiative. 🌳📉 We are aligning our emissions reduction efforts in line with the objective to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C. We are also proud to be one of the first companies to have its specific forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) targets validated. 🚀📉 For us, as for all businesses, the journey is a long and bumpy one, but we have been on the road for quite some time now and have made considerable progress in reducing our emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and 3 since 2020. We believe that botanicals can be grown, processed and refined in a net zero way by 2040 if we all work together. That’s why getting our clients and supply partners on board is vital. We are excited to have you join us on our journey!

Today, everybody talks about sustainable development, but do we truly understand its history? Let's decode this! 🌍 In 1983, the United Nations formed the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in response to major concerns about ozone depletion and global warming their goal was to find the ways for the world to develop sustainably, balancing growth with environmental protection. In 1987, the commission published the Brundtland Report, introducing the concept of sustainable development- meeting current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. This report laid the groundwork for the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, where global leaders convened to discuss environmental issues and emphasize the importance of sustainability. The summit resulted in the creation of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, highlighting the role of businesses in this agenda. It stressed that businesses have a responsibility to operate in ways that do not harm the environment while meeting society's needs. Let's not forget that sustainability is not just about adopting the latest energy-efficient technologies or turning to renewable sources of power. Sustainability is the responsibility of every individual every day. It is about changing our behaviour and mindset to reduce power and water consumption, thereby helping to control emissions and pollution levels.
