Yesterday our Executive Director Eero Yrjö-Koskinen spoke at the Friends of Europe debate "Navigating the EU’s sustainability transitions in a polycrisis world" with the participation of Leena Yla-Mononen. This interactive discussion looked at the challenges deriving from competing priorities and ensuring that environmental goals are not sidelined during the next institutional cycle. Starting with the latest report by the European Environment Agency “Europe’s Sustainability Transitions Outlook, thinking long-term while acting short-term”, speakers and participants focused the debate on maintaining the balance between ecological resilience and macroeconomic stability. Here are our main takeaways ⤵ 💶 A stable climate and a healthy environment are the preconditions for our long-term economic development and competitiveness. We need to ensure that public funding coming from the EU budget such as the next Multiannual financial framework (MFF) is in line with sustainability goals. 👩🌾 We would need a comprehensive Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform to ensure not only food security and address the social and economic challenges in the farming sector, but also tackle biodiversity loss, reduce pollution, and the excessive use of critical resources, such as fresh water. The cost of inaction is too big. 🛳 Trade relations and partnerships with non-EU countries are fundamental. We should maintain constructive relations with the Global South by complementing the existing trade and cooperation agreements with new provisions on technical and financial support, which would allow them to address properly water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and governance issues. 🗣 Lastly, we should all work towards a new narrative that addresses and explains green transition’s needs and solutions. Thanks to Dharmendra Kanani for hosting and to the speakers Claire Dupont, Lorenzo Benini, Alexandr Hobza, Vadim Kononenko, Dzhordzhio Naldzhiev for a great discussion. 📑 Find out more in: ✔ Our post-2024 CAP vision 👉 https://lnkd.in/esaAGcnV ✔ Our work on existing frameworks for trade and cooperation on Critical Raw Materials 👉 https://lnkd.in/dgd8RdG9 #FoEDebate #GreenTransition #Biodiversity #GreenTrade #SustainableAgriculture #Sustainability #CriticalRawMaterials

The future of Europe is bio-based 🎉On Friday, the Ecofin Council adopted the European Investment Bank (EIB)'s Strategic Roadmap for 2024-2027. This comprehensive plan outlines eight key priorities, and we are particularly pleased about the inclusion of bioeconomy. 📈 The Roadmap emphasises boosting European resilience in agriculture and the bioeconomy. It outlines more financial support for adaptation and mitigation of the impact of climate change in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, it states that large investments are needed to make the sector resilient and sustainable as well as develop the bioeconomy and the circular economy. 🔬 This strategic focus will not only enhance food security and sustainable agriculture but also drive innovation in the biosolutions industry, contributing significantly to Europe's green transition. 🌍 The Strategic Roadmap is another important step towards a bio-based future of Europe, but we need to keep moving and supplement investments with regulatory reforms – and the European Biosolutions Coalition is ready to help make this happen! #EUbiocoalition #eu #bioeconomy #circulareconomy #agriculture #greentransition #sustainability

Food systems are responsible for 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the transition to sustainable practices remains severely underfunded. To make real progress, we need $300 billion each year—$200 billion of that dedicated to climate-related initiatives. Accelerating investment is essential to driving change. Explore how the financial sector can mobilize capital and power sustainable food systems in this World Economic Forum article featuring insights from my colleagues Vikki Tam and Christian Graf. https://bit.ly/3Blouiw

In our latest BGP study, we examine the growing impact of carbon pricing on the dairy industry. To align with the Paris Climate Agreement goals by 2040, carbon costs are projected to reach €180 per ton of CO2 emissions—nearly triple today’s rates. 🌍 Denmark is already leading the charge, becoming the first country to implement a carbon tax on dairy production starting in 2030. As carbon costs rise, businesses will need to decide whether to absorb the additional expenses, pass them on to consumers, or shift towards more sustainable practices. As carbon pricing continues to increase, the move towards sustainable dairy alternatives is becoming a critical business imperative. Early adopters will gain a competitive edge, while others risk falling behind in this evolving landscape. Is your business ready for the future of carbon pricing? 🔗 Read our full study to explore how carbon pricing could shape the future of dairy production. Link in comments.
