UN Environment Programme’s Post

Call to all #scientists & #experts: UN Environment Programme #GEO7 (7th Global Environment Report Assessment due in Dec 2025) is looking for #academic/ #scientific #EditorReviewers. Please apply - link in comments. We are pushing through some very innovative (and new) #solution-oriented thinking about how to #transform our #unsustainable #systems in the face of multiple crises (#ClimateChange #BiodiversityLoss #Pollution #LandDegradation) and stay on track with internationally agreed goals and targets (i.e. #ParisAgreement #SDGs #AichiBiodiversity etc). We need to get it right and we need your #expertise to review our thinking! Also, please share within your networks. Thank you. #systems #transformation #context #lockin #agentsofchange #nature #health #sustainable #acceleration Professor Priti Parikh FICE Lisa Vanhala Simon Chin-Yee Becca Burns Mark Maslin UCL Public Policy Sustainable UCL Ian Hamilton Professor Marisa Miraldo Hyun Bang Shin Gemma Moore Giorgos Petrou Tara Keck Kate Jones Susan Michie Helen Pineo Jo Davan Wetton (Hale) Sam Balch James Paskins Robert Vautard Diana Urge-Vorsatz Nikos Karadimitriou Andy Gouldson Simon Joss Patrick Devine-Wright Ksenia Chmutina Graeme Sherriff Catalina Spataru Giovanni Razzu Yvonne Rydin Henk Visscher Joanna Williams Jacqui Glass Geraint Rees Pierre Boileau Åsa Persson Francesco Fuso Nerini Sara Borgström Olga Kordas 🇸🇪🇺🇦

A huge team effort went into this proposal for what is vital research into overcoming regulatory roadblocks. EnableBIO will develop a roadmap to advance the regulatory environment for agrifood wastestreams in innovative bio-based value chains ♻️🌾🥛🌞 #bioeconomy #circulareconomy

Featured in TerraGreen - TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute's flagship digital magazine in conversation on the Contribution of Skilled Leadership Towards Addressing Sustainable Development and Climate Justice.    Environmental degradation has long-term, irreversible impacts, which includes the sub-set “Climate” – and the problem in Climate is a Tragedy of Horizons as Mark Carney calls it in his book Value(s). To resolve this paradox (tragedy) of horizons, politicians, policymakers and regulators need to look at the problem beyond their lifetime and surely beyond elected terms in government and focus on inter-generational equity. The private sector also must internalize negative externalities caused by industries through carbon pricing – external and internal. Finally, environmental governance can be improved through developing appropriate environmental standards and implementing the defined standards.    Read more here: https://shorturl.at/stN89 #Sustainability #ClimateJustice #EnvironmentalGovernance

🔝Save the date!  🌊 ONE-BLUE will organize the webinar "ONE-BLUE: Synergies for the Protection of the Oceans and the Marine Environment" on 6 June, which aims to bring together different actors from the marine sector and showcase the project's lines of action. ☑️The meeting is part of the European Green Week 2024, an initiative organised by the European Commission to raise awareness, promote and debate European environmental policy. ⚓Participation in dynamics such as this is the ideal opportunity to create synergies and help make the project visible and promote it. ⛵ ONE-BLUE aims to investigate the presence and impacts of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in marine environments, understand how climate change modifies these impacts, and develop advanced monitoring tools and methodologies to support effective management and policy-making. ✍️If you wish to register for the event online: you can do it through this link: https://lc.cx/7f94aO    #EuropeanGreenWeek2024 #EUGreenWeek2024 #oneblue #horizoneurope 

🌍 #Climatechange is here today, not somewhere in the future. To ensure evaluation remains relevant in today’s world, we can't overlook the environmental aspect. This week, we're thrilled to introduce two workshops to kickstart your journey in this crucial area. I-F: "Evaluation at the Nexus of Environment and Development" instructed by Juha Uitto, Geeta Batra, and Anupam Anand. II-F: "Evaluation of Climate Change and Development" instructed by Sven Harten, #MartinNoltz, and Alexandra Köngeter. For evaluators and commissioners who would like to focus on green evaluations, we recommend attending both workshops I-F and II-F to get a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Workshop IF, led by renowned experts from the Independent Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF - IEO), the workshop will immerse you in the interconnectedness of human and natural systems. Gain deep insights into evaluating interventions within their broader environmental context. Apply now: https://lnkd.in/eTwuk_Su APPLY NOW in 2 Steps: 1.

💡 "What do policymakers need from businesses?" William Neale emphasises that businesses can play a crucial role by sharing scalable examples, providing quality data, and fostering transparency and honesty throughout the policy-making process. Many examples in the latest report highlight the importance of businesses input, reinforcing the relevance of these case studies in shaping future legislation.🌍 ➡️ Read the report: https://bit.ly/3ZhCjbF ⌛#NoTimetoWaste⌛ We Mean Business Coalition Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) EU Environment and Climate Ball Corporation Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) Zero Waste Europe

Ocean Climate Action, an NGO dedicated to advancing sustainable ocean policies, has released a report reviewing the Biden Administration's progress in key areas related to climate and ocean health, including Evaluating Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (#mCDR). The main milestones in mCDR include: 1. Increased Federal Support: $30 million for scientific work on mCDR and $36 million for accelerating mCDR technologies. 2. Fast-Track Action Committee: Co-chaired by the White House OSTP and NOAA to develop a national mCDR Research Plan. 3. DOE's Responsible Carbon Management Initiative: Engaging the public on mCDR research. 4. EPA’s Permitting Clarification: Clearer processes for mCDR projects under the Clean Water Act. The administration, backed by US Congress and ocean advocates, is leading a new era of ocean climate action. We’re proud to be part of this movement and are committed to pushing these initiatives forward. #OceanClimateAction #MarineCDR #Sustainability #ClimateChange #RewindEarth

How does faith impact our approach to the environment and sustainability? Listen to Charlotte Littlewood explain some of the interesting findings from our latest study!

How can businesses minimize their environmental footprint? This #EarthDay we look at the planetary boundaries framework, which helps companies understand and manage environmental risks to increase resilience. How has this changed over the past 15 years? and what can companies do to minimize their environmental footprint, better understand how their individual company operations contribute to resource limitations at a global scale and build resilience against both the physical and transitional risks associated with environmental damage.
