NEWS: We have launched our Climate Action for Associations (CAFA) Tracker Report, supported by the Trade Association Forum. 🌍 This report underscores the crucial role that membership organisations play in advancing climate action across industries and sectors. It provides valuable insights into their sustainability and net zero initiatives, as well as the barriers they face.📈 As the urgency of climate action continues to grow, organisations worldwide must address the climate emergency by embedding sustainability into their operations, supply chains, and member engagement. Membership organisations, including trade associations, industry bodies, and professional groups, are key to this mission. The CAFA Tracker examines how these organisations are integrating net zero and sustainability into their strategies and how they are working to reduce emissions both internally and with their members.🌱 Key Takeaways: - 39% of trade associations have senior leadership driving sustainability efforts. - 79% focus on encouraging climate action among members, though many lack formal plans. - Barriers such as time, money, and skills are hindering transparency. 👉 Read the full report here - https://bit.ly/47bySoQ #CAFATracker #TAF #ClimateActionforAssociations #ClimateAction #MembershipOrganisations #TradeAssociations #ProfessionalBodies #ClimateLeadership #Sustainability #NetZero

Chief Magic Maker, born in 319.65 ppm CO2, I work with clients to accelerate to an inclusive and sustainable future 🌎🍃🌏🦋🌍💦♻️.
$8,000,000,000,000 ($8trillion) needed 8,000,000,000 (8billion) people on Earth in 2024 Meaning we need to invest $1000 for every human on Earth, by 2030 ($200 per person, per year, for the next 5 years) to meet the climate goals that will save a future for “our families and for all the children of all species for all time” We Mean Business Coalition
🆕 "Before reading this blog, try to imagine eight trillion. It’s a number so large that it’s almost beyond our comprehension. But somehow we must grasp it because that’s how much money will need to be invested to meet the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement - and all that must be done before 2030." - Andrew Prag, Managing Director of Policy at We Mean Business Coalition and Christina Hood, Climate change & Energy Policy, Carbon Markets Lead at Compass Climate. In their latest blog, Andrew and Christina address the immense challenge of meeting global climate targets, particularly the US $8 trillion spending target by 2030. One key insight they explore is how the private sector can learn from the Paris Agreement's framework, especially through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Under the Paris Agreement, governments commit to #NDCs, setting and revising national climate goals every five years and rigorously measuring progress through standardized reporting. Andrew and Christina also emphasize the importance of direct international comparisons and year-by-year progress tracking, as seen in the Paris Agreement. For companies, adopting common reporting formats and capturing not just Scope 1 but also Scope 2 and 3 emissions could drive higher standards and hold laggards accountable, ultimately leading to more meaningful climate action. However, creating the basis for comparison could be challenging. The blog captures some of the key findings of a new white paper published today by We Mean Business Coalition, Scaling up private sector action on climate change. Developing corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting guidance that aligns with the Paris Agreement ❓ Interested in how the private sector can draw from the #ParisAgreement to enhance its climate finance efforts and scale investments? 🔗 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/efZ78eda #WMBC

🎺Calling all businesses and associations. Register to attend the online launch of the **Business Associations Climate Action Guide** Tomorrow Tuesday 3 September, 4pm BST Why? - Many businesses have made ambitious climate commitments to transition to a net zero, resilient and nature-positive future. But while many businesses undertake direct climate policy engagement/advocacy, companies also indirectly support policy positions and activities by being members of business associations. Business associations are highly influential actors in the policymaking landscape, and can play a key role in helping to drive an agenda that protects climate and nature. It's essential that both companies and the business associations they are members of do their best to ensure that policy agendas help to deliver on their climate transition plans. The guide offers business leaders, sustainability professionals, board members and employees a simple, step-wise approach to aligning their associations with climate ambition. 🌍 Panelists Include - * High-Level Climate Champions, Tessa Vincent * We Mean Business Coalition, Dominic Gogol * Exponential Roadmap Initiative, Johan Falk * Climate Action for Associations, Alison Heppenstall * WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Elisa Leimer * Trane Technologies, Helen Walter-Terrinoni * Unilever, Fiona Duggan * Boston Trust Walden Company, Laura Devenney * BEAMA, Amy Collins Register Here https://lnkd.in/gYZthVZz #RaceToZero #Associations #ClimatePolicy #Advocacy #RPE #Membership #CAFA #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NetZero #Supplychain #SME

✈ The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has taken action against a Virgin Atlantic radio advertisement from November, which promoted the airline’s Flight 100 from London Heathrow to JFK. The ad claimed it would be "the world’s first commercial airline to fly transatlantic on 100% sustainable aviation fuel" 🚨 The ASA found that the environmental benefits of SAF were overstated and the claims were not sufficiently substantiated, leading to the ad being banned. 🧠 As we push for more sustainable solutions, it’s essential that our claims are backed by solid evidence. Effective climate action requires not just innovation, but also honesty and accountability. 🌍 With the increasing importance of sustainable practices, travel policies are key to reducing an organisation's carbon footprint, especially in industries heavily reliant on air travel. Climate Action for Associations offers members a low carbon travel policy template aimed at helping organisations lower their environmental impact. By adopting a low-carbon travel policy, associations can substantially reduce emissions from air travel - aiding the aviation sector's decarbonisation efforts. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ef6g6NRR #Advertising #ClimateAction #ClimatActionForAssociations #Sustainability #Aviation #Marketing #Transparency
