Unlocking the secrets of the carbon cycle is pivotal in addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time – climate change. A profound understanding of how carbon moves through the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms is the key to developing effective solutions for mitigating climate change. By delving into the intricacies of the carbon cycle, we gain insights that drive sustainable practices, and pave the way for innovations that can reshape our planet's future. Together, let's harness the power of knowledge to make a lasting impact. #CarbonCycle #ClimateAction #Sustainability

Want to know what we're doing on nature? This paper is an important primer to the work we're currently undertaking. It provides a state of play as well as principles to inform our Nature Roadmap. #nature #sustainability
A report by IPBES states that "Human actions threaten more species with global extinction now than ever before." Launched at TRANSFORM earlier this year, 'Building with Nature 2.0' builds on our earlier work, presenting the urgency to address nature impacts, and the role of the built environment in taking a nature-centric view. Our industry is at a critical turning point, and we think the moment is best met with change. Thank you to our Nature Positive Partner, The GPT Group Are you ready to revisit this paper? Click below

How can we work with the abundance of nature? We asked our consultants for recommendations that have inspired and informed their passion for better business and the circular economy. Senior Analyst and PaaS expert, Felicia Gustafsson recommended Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. “It is a beautiful book which combines a scientific and indigenous perspective on the reciprocal contributions between people and nature. A feelgood must-read for anyone interested in the connection between humans and plant life.” - Felicia Gustafsson. Check it out to explore our reciprocal relationship with our planet - https://lnkd.in/eq-SyRXv Please note that the recommendations provided are selected by the expert consultants at Stena Circular Consulting.

It’s World Environment Day! 2024 Tyler Prize winner Johan Rockström work provides us with a new understanding of the word "environment" on this special day. His work sees the environment as the sum of many interrelated planetary forces that together protect our life as humans. Prof. Rockström's Planetary Boundaries framework revolutionized Earth sciences by integrating 9 systems that determine the functioning and the state of the planet. Planetary Boundaries framework revolutionized Earth sciences by integrating 9 systems that determine the functioning and the state of the planet. These systems provide life-support to humans and include systems we all rely upon, such as clean water, a stable climate, and vibrant biodiversity. They also interact and depend upon one another—and you and I are a big part of that! Every action we take, whether it’s brushing our teeth or driving to the store, impacts the environment. Planetary Boundaries help us understand how and why, empowering us—and policymakers worldwide—to take actions to support an environment that supports human life. Because that’s the one we all want, right?

🌍 It was great to address the #Urbanheat and #climatevulnerability challenges in cities such as Barcelona during the RMIT Europe and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) workshop. Indeed, we need #transdisciplinary approaches to promote social and climate resilience in urban areas and prevent the exacerbation of existing inequalities.
Urban heat, as a consequence of climate change, is a critical challenge facing many cities across the world and requires a transdisciplinary research agenda to achieve more regenerative futures. RMIT Europe recently brought together a diverse community of researchers for a workshop in Barcelona to explore more equitable ways to address the impacts of urban heat such as drought, wildfires, air pollution and energy poverty. The workshop was undertaken in conjunction with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna. Participants included Professor Philipp Heidkamp, Laura Armayones Carranza, Professor Elena Domene, Zoé Sandoval Ganoza and Sharon S. Baltazar who share their reflections on the participatory process in this highlight video.

🌳 Introducing the Tree of Alignment 2.0! 🌳 Delve into our latest blog post by Nora F. Murphy Johnson, PhD, where we unveil the enriched version of our transformative framework - the Tree of Alignment. This ecological metaphor has been fine-tuned with insightful modifications, offering a deeper, more nuanced approach to fostering meaningful change. 🌱 Discover how we've expanded our understanding from 'Conditions for Transformation' to 'Conditions and Capacities for Transformation', integrating inherent strengths with core strategies, and introducing the dynamic 'Ecosystem Dynamics - Community and Context.' Each element of the framework, from the soil to the seeds, symbolizes a vital aspect of the transformative process. Join us as we explore how these interconnected components work together to nurture growth and adaptation, just like in a thriving ecosystem. 🌟 Read the full post to see how this holistic approach can guide you in understanding and navigating the complexities of change, with the resilience and wisdom of nature's systems. 🔗 https://wix.to/ztn94SD #TreeOfAlignment #TransformativeChange #EcologicalMetaphor #InspireToChange #GrowthAndAdaptation

📅 Join us tomorrow for a discussion about what the adoption of Target 15 of the Global Biodiversity Framework means for companies and financial institutions, with Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and McKinsey & Company's Natural Capital and Nature team. With last year's launch of the first #ScienceBasedTargets #ForNature, TNFD's framework and #SBTN's pilots, a pathway for corporate action on nature has been established. ✅ But what does this mean for corporates and the financial sector? Where should companies start and how do you measure success? And how can this be integrated this into a climate strategy? Erin Billman, Executive Director, SBTN and Tony Goldner, Executive Director, TNFD, will discuss these questions and more in this 45 minute discussion.👇 You can join either of two webinars covering the major geographical regions of the world: 9-9:45AM CET or 12-12:45PM ET. 🔗 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eg6KbjHx Tony Hansen #GlobalBiodiversityFramework #GBF #KMGBF #SDGs #GlobalGoals #ForOurPlanet #Innovation #Sustainability #Environment
