🌍 Why Climate Action is Crucial for Our Future 🌍 As a chemical engineer and entrepreneur, I’ve witnessed firsthand the impact of industrial processes on our environment. Today, the urgency for “climate action” is clearer than ever. Here’s why it’s crucial: 1. Protecting Our Planet’s Health 🌱: The environmental toll of unchecked emissions and industrial waste is undeniable. From rising temperatures to polluted waters, the health of our planet is at stake. Taking decisive action now means safeguarding ecosystems and biodiversity for future generations. 2. Ensuring Business Sustainability 📈: The future of business lies in sustainable practices. Companies that prioritize climate action not only protect the environment but also enhance their resilience, reduce costs, and build long-term value. Innovation in sustainable technologies, like advanced wastewater treatment and green engineering, is not just good for the planet—it’s good for business. 3. Preserving Resources for Future Generations💧: Our natural resources are finite. Climate action helps us manage and protect these resources, ensuring that clean water, fresh air, and fertile soil are available for generations to come. 4. Driving Innovation and Growth 🚀: Climate challenges are opportunities for innovation. From renewable energy to sustainable industrial solutions, investing in climate action stimulates new technologies, drives economic growth, and creates jobs in emerging green sectors. 5. Responsibility and Leadership 🤝: As industry leaders, it’s our responsibility to take action. By embracing sustainable practices, we set an example for others, inspire change, and contribute to a more resilient, low-carbon future. 🌐 Climate action isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Whether through innovative technologies, sustainable processes, or climate-conscious leadership, each step we take helps secure a better future for our planet and our industries. Let’s lead the way in making our world a healthier, more sustainable place. 🌎💪 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Innovation #EngineeringForChange #Leadership #Sustainabilitythroughthecleanwater Spring

I couldn't agree more! 🌟 In the realm of supply chain and logistics, the need for sustainable practices has never been greater. The insights shared in 'Five Ideas on How Industry Can Make a Climate-Positive Future Happen' resonate deeply with our commitment to sustainability. As we look to the future, let's seize the opportunity to integrate these ideas into our supply chain logistics operations. Digitalization, renewable energy, and circular economy principles are not just buzzwords; they're the keys to a more eco-friendly and efficient supply chain. The 5 key takeaways I took away from his related article are: 1️⃣ Bigger is not always better 2️⃣ We already have the technology which allows us to do more with less 3️⃣ Digitalization will drive greater sustainability 4️⃣ Sustainability is not an end in itself. It also makes good business sense 5️⃣ We can only do it together Let's act today for a brighter tomorrow. 💚♻️ #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness #EcoFriendly #GreenLeadership  #SustainablePractices #EnvironmentalSustainability #SustainableFuture #SustainableLeadership #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment  #readi #onesilogistics #teamsiemens Read the whole article and explore how we can make a climate positive future happen:

[Coloniality / Modernity] Enclosure --> Opportunity Costs --> Stranded Assets Lots of folks have been reaching out to "congratulate" me on my 10-year anniversary with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) -- which encompasses both my formal affiliation serving on its inaugural Technical Advisory Group (TAG) 2015-2020, and less formally as an "original instigator" (SBTi tried to get LinkedIn to disallow this designation a while back, but I responded to the challenge, and apparently LI came down on my side.) I can't remember why I listed February 2014 as the starting point, as my role as "original instigator" predates this by a couple of years (I peg it to my chat over beers with Janet Ranganathan of World Resources Institute -- which serves as Secretariat of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) -- at the cocktail hour of the Ceres, Inc. Conference in 2012, where I pointed out the GHGP's lack of tie-in to the carbon budget as determined by the climate science). In any case, this anniversary gives pause to step back and reflect on the broad dynamics of an individual like me engaging with established institutions in the field (namely, the SBTi partner organizations -- CDP WRI WWF United Nations Global Compact). These players were glad to engage with me when SBTi was in start-up mode, and in need of reputational validation. (Here's a video SBTi asked me to speak in https://lnkd.in/eCuFsTs4 from March 2015 where I supported them whole-heartedly). Then in early 2018, SBTi abruptly shifted from giving guidance on all SBT setting methods, to exclusively allowing use of methods SBTi itself created, and disallowing independently created methods. But there was at least one method that fulfilled the selection criteria they listed, yet SBTi banned it nevertheless. In the context of modernity / coloniality (per Vanessa Andreotti's definition), this act falls into a pattern of enclosure. Just as the rich enclosed the territorial commons in the United Kingdom over centuries with thousands of Inclosure Acts, so too did SBTi seek to enclose the commons of sustainability knowledge and practice, using its status as a "de facto" standard setter to legitimize an act that was transparently illegitimate based on the evidence. Since then, the only 2 comprehensive scientific studies of SBT methods (Bjorn et al 2021 & Rekker et al 2022) have found the banned method to be the strongest. So we are now is a protracted period of society bearing opportunity costs of locking in inferior SBT methods, when we could be implementing a superior (scientifically speaking) method. The insufficient infrastructure that SBTi has locked into place ultimately represents a stranded asset, as it will not sufficiently address the issue it was created to address -- other, fit-to-task assets *should* have been deployed. This is a fractal of what I see happening in many other instances and fields, which are all patterned in the context of collapse...
