COP16 on Biological Diversity starts at the end of this month in Colombia. Leaders across government, business, civil society and Indigenous communities will meet to discuss the critical role nature plays within economies. In today's podcast, Sustainable Views' editor Philippa Nuttall asks whether businesses need to catch up on nature action? She is joined by Andrew Steer, president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund, and Roberto Marques, former CEO of cosmetics company Natura and board member of Sysco Corporation and the We Mean Business Coalition. The group discuss how companies can begin to understand their impact on nature and finance biodiversity protection. "We're currently in a rather fruitless discussion [...] We have a school of thought that is ideologically opposed to [nature] markets and they've got a lot of evidence to support their views because there's been a lot of abuse of carbon markets, there's been a lot of greenwashing. Where they are fundamentally wrong is that because there's been some abuse therefore we should give up on the idea." Steer argues.

The Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD), launched on September 27, and aims to put “people, along with planet, at the heart of business planning”, said Sharan Burrow, one of the body’s four co-chairs, at a media briefing about the launch. The task force will develop a global framework for companies and financial institutions to report on social-related risks, impacts and opportunities. It will build on the work of the FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Burrow says. Many have welcomed the focus on inequality but others have questioned whether another disclosure standard or framework is necessary.

The idea of 'sustainability' is everywhere, except in US court rooms, argues James R. May, the Richard S Righter distinguished professor of law at the Washburn University School of Law in Sustainable Views. Of the around 30,000 decisions the US Supreme Court has issued since 1791, hundreds have touched on environmental issues, but none have directly addressed sustainability. "Ignoring sustainability in legal actions mutes the extent to which the concept can make a difference," he writes. Read more below. #sustainability #environmentlaw #ESG https://lnkd.in/ev5-Pwak

The consultation will take forward work first announced by the previous government in March 2023 as part of its green finance strategy.

Despite its rhetoric on sustainability at home, the EU is failing to ensure similar standards for its exports, NGOs say. Greenpeace and Amnesty International have called on the EU to bring in legislation aimed at closing loopholes that allow certain substances that are banned for use domestically — including certain pesticides, chemicals, single-use plastics and artificial intelligence systems — to be exported to non-EU countries.

Global spending on clean energy technology and infrastructure is likely to hit $2tn in 2024, with $315bn of that happening in the US, according to the International Energy Agency. Since the Inflation Reduction Act came into force two years ago, the US has seen more investment in clean energy than ever — yet in the same period, the country has become the world’s biggest oil and gas producer and exporter. High oil and gas returns continue to deter some investors from moving their money. Read more below. #oilandgas #InflationReductionAct #cleanenergy https://lnkd.in/e4RqYSk9
