Developing an #ARR #carbon project can be incredibly complicated. Hopefully this infographic provides some clarity for project developers and their investors on the considerations required to successfully develop your carbon asset. #reforestbetter

Our new paper published in Nature Sustainability unpacks considerations on how to ensure access to basic water needs under safe and just Earth system boundaries. An important highlight from the study indicates “…approximately 2.6 billion people live in river basins where groundwater is needed because they are already outside the surface water Earth system boundary...” Article is freely available. https://lnkd.in/gj5xmSzA

There are no easy solutions to planet-scale problems, everything is interconnected. #greeneconomy #sustainability #earthinthebalance https://lnkd.in/eFJfY98h

Sustainability especially in rural communities is of a paramount importance. For instance, In project management, integrating sustainable solutions like efficient water management, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly infrastructure not only enhances livelihoods but also fosters environmental stewardship. Let's build a better future together! #CivilEngineering #Sustainability #RuralDevelopment 🏗️💡

Amidst a (welcomed) scrutinization of the Voluntary Carbon Market it’s important to keep remembering that we cannot stand still while working on improved quality and integrity. Global CO2 levels are still rising. And virgin forests are still being cut down. So, there is not only room for growth as this S&P report states, it’s also imperative corporates act with more ambition and fill that gap.

ASPECT Studios is pleased to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to sustainability: achieving carbon neutral status.  Sustainability is central to what we do – our projects support biodiversity, protect the natural world, and play a part in stimulating the change needed to tackle the climate crisis. This achievement recognises the dedication of the ASPECT team to environmental stewardship. We have successfully achieved carbon neutral status in accordance with the PAS2060 international standard. We are meeting this standard in part by funding three certified projects: a project to establish permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources in New South Wales, Australia, forest management in Papua New Guinea, and greenfield wind power in India. These initiatives allow us to not only offset our carbon emissions but also contribute positively to environmental conservation and sustainable development. This certification is part of an ongoing journey. We have also developed a Carbon Reduction Plan to further reduce our carbon footprint and drive positive environmental outcomes.

We always talk about going Carbon zero, about creating strategies that are more aligned with our impact on nature and the world, but what if we look at our impact from all angles? Those in charge of designing these cities, from parks to housing should take the time to read this article made by Michelle Sánchez Brajkovic. The need to go into detail, to reanalyze before destroying, to understand that everything counts: materials, waste, buildings everything is fundamental if we really want to make a change in our impact on this world. In my opinion: overpopulation is irremediable. We have invaded a world that we share with other species, without understanding that it was a shared world, not only ours. But what do we do to make this impact a positive one? What do you do every day to respect the space of others, not only humans but also animals, insects, and other species? What does your company do to have a clean conscience? #proudsister #sustainability #sustainable #architecturalhardware #sustainablebusiness #sustainabilitymatters

What can be done to improve #marine #sustainability and build a resilient blue economy? Our 2024 Klaus Töpfer Sustainability Fellow Florian Lennert outlines his plans to establish an accelerator for blue-green innovations for #sustainable ocean use, #ocean #conservation, and the marine #energy #transition in Macaronesia. https://lnkd.in/e9NTpEtg

*Dear fellow citizens* Today we celebrate the World Environment Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness on the importance of protecting and preserving our planet. This year's theme, "Ecosystem Restoration," reminds us that restoring our damaged ecosystems is crucial to achieving a sustainable future. As we stand here today, we are faced with the harsh reality of climate change, pollution, deforestation, and other environmental challenges that threaten the very existence of our planet. It is time for us to take action, to take responsibility for our actions, and to make the necessary changes to protect and restore our environment. Every individual has a role to play in this journey towards a healthier planet. It starts with simple actions such as reducing our carbon footprint, conserving water, planting trees, and reducing waste. Governments and businesses also need to prioritize sustainability and implement policies and practices that protect the environment. Let us come together as a global community to restore our ecosystems, protect our natural resources, and safeguard our planet for future generations. Let us commit to making every day World Environment Day by taking actions that promote sustainability, conservation, and responsible stewardship. Thank you.
