The Nature Restoration Regulation is adopted and will enter into force this summer. We recognize the degradation of biodiversity as one of the largest environmental challenges globally that must be tackled - that is why it is one of our sustainability priorities. We expect increasing restoration activities in forests, marshlands and small waterbodies. Together with our own biodiversity activities in terrestrial and aquatic areas in the impact areas of power plants, they improve the quality and quantity of habitats on a larger scale and make also our own restoration actions more effective. However, the new regulation could lead to unforeseen negative consequences for the energy system. Aligning the restoration measures with existing renewable energy production and new measures to reach the climate and energy goals is essential in the implementation. We are looking forward to participating in the preparation of the restoration plans together with authorities and other stakeholders.

Developing an #ARR #carbon project can be incredibly complicated. Hopefully this infographic provides some clarity for project developers and their investors on the considerations required to successfully develop your carbon asset. #reforestbetter
Have you ever wondered what it takes to properly develop a reforestation carbon project? 🌱 Here is our view of how it should be done, and how Hamerkop Climate Impacts’ team of experts can assist project developers on that journey… 👇 Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) projects work to establish new forests or restore degraded land through tree-planting, soil conservation, and other sustainable initiatives. This important work helps address climate change, as it is a low-tech nature-based solution that sequesters carbon, promotes biodiversity, and supports local livelihoods (just to name a few of many benefits). Our Head of Advisory Services, Guy Warren, developed this blueprint to lead training sessions with project developers looking to implement #ARR carbon projects 🌍 The HAMERKOP team has been busy delivering this information around the world ✅ Let us know what you think of this blueprint! And feel free to get in touch with any questions — 👉 Enjoy this kind of content?

Every project seeking to register in a Verra standards program undergoes a 30-day public comment period. The public comment periods for the projects listed here opened during the week of July 15. This week, some of the projects open for public comment include projects seeking registration in the Verified Carbon Standard Program that are located in China, Canada, the Philippines, and India. The projects implement a range of activities, from a water purification plant sewage treatment system, municipal waste composting, aluminum recycling, and more. Additionally, under the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards Program, an afforestation project in China and a REDD+ project in Brazil are open for public comment. Finally, we have a forest carbon project open for public comment, which seeks verification under all three programs: Verified Carbon Standard Program, Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards Program, and The Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard program. Collectively, the projects seeking registration in the VCS, CCBS and SD VISta Programs could reduce and/or remove 2,820,312.00 tCO2e from the atmosphere. https://bit.ly/3WsL7K3 Photo courtesy of Sustainable Travel.

Sustainable development is a holistic approach that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations to ensure long-term well-being. In enhancing natural resources, sustainable development focuses on responsible resource management, minimizing environmental impact, and promoting conservation. This approach aims to maintain a delicate balance, allowing ecosystems to regenerate while meeting human needs. It involves practices like renewable energy use, efficient resource utilization, and the protection of biodiversity, contributing to the overall health of our planet.

The theme for #WorldEnvironmentDay 2024 is #GenerationRestoration. The United Nations aims to raise global awareness of the need to protect the environment. With various events, campaigns and initiatives, they call for ecological actions and measures to protect the environment and promote international cooperation. #viastore is less about planting trees. We work to minimise the environmental impact of logistics processes. In addition to resource-saving #warehouse concepts, there are other approaches to #GreenLogistics: ✅ Using low-emission means of transport, ✅ Fewer empty trips through intelligent route and trip optimisation and ✅the use of renewable energy sources in operational processes. Sustainability also works on a small scale, whether it's reducing waste, planting trees or restoring nature. Let's use World Environment Day as an opportunity to take action. We are all responsible for taking care of our environment! #WorldEnvironmentDay #intralogistics #viastore

Sustainability especially in rural communities is of a paramount importance. For instance, In project management, integrating sustainable solutions like efficient water management, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly infrastructure not only enhances livelihoods but also fosters environmental stewardship. Let's build a better future together! #CivilEngineering #Sustainability #RuralDevelopment 🏗️💡

Easycorp are thrilled to now be certified Carbon Neutral by Carbon Neutral Britain™. By Offsetting our Carbon Footprint - with projects to remove CO₂e from the atmosphere, we can balance out your emissions to become Carbon Neutral. As part of our carbon offsetting impact with Carbon Neutral Britain™, they plant trees in sustainable projects around the world - from British woodland management and creation, to tree planting in the Amazon rainforest. In addition to protecting the climate, every project also has secondary benefits, supporting local communities in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals - such as providing safe drinking water, creating local jobs, as well as having a positive impact on wildlife, ecology and biodiversity.

Senior Lecturer and ARC DECRA Fellow, School of Environment & Science and Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland.
Our new paper published in Nature Sustainability unpacks considerations on how to ensure access to basic water needs under safe and just Earth system boundaries. An important highlight from the study indicates “…approximately 2.6 billion people live in river basins where groundwater is needed because they are already outside the surface water Earth system boundary...” Article is freely available. https://lnkd.in/gj5xmSzA

I remember a UNEP study in the 2000s following the Indian Ocean tsunami which signalled how areas with integrated coastal management systems suffered less damage. Today, nature-based solutions (NbS) remain an often underestimated approach to combine climate mitigation & adaptation. The use of nature as incredible technology to develop positive impact and also mitigate ecosystem service-related dependency risks. New S&P Global Sustainable1 data shows that few companies appear to grasp the potential of NbS. Corporate actions to restore or regenerate local ecosystems are rare outside of a few industry groups, according to S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment data. Few companies assess their operations’ impacts on biodiversity, and industry groups with high dependency on nature typically do not assess their biodiversity dependency risk, according to the S&P Global Sustainable1 Nature & Biodiversity Risk dataset. These findings signal that the field is open for more companies to prioritize NbS and their co-benefits in their climate strategies... #naturebasedsolutions #ecosystemservices #climaterisk
Corporate support for nature-based solutions has room to grow
