Food systems are responsible for 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the transition to sustainable practices remains severely underfunded. To make real progress, we need $300 billion each year—$200 billion of that dedicated to climate-related initiatives. Accelerating investment is essential to driving change. Explore how the financial sector can mobilize capital and power sustainable food systems in this World Economic Forum article featuring insights from my colleagues Vikki Tam and Christian Graf. https://bit.ly/3Blouiw

As we work towards a more sustainable future, we need to keep an eye on the sectors that are not changing enough, fast enough...

💡 #SustainabilityStories - Our four action fields The H&T Presspart sustainability strategy was developed in 2021 in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), universally recognised global action fields that address social, economic, and environmental challenges. For the identification of strategic focus areas and levers, and determination of their relevance to our business, a materiality analysis was conducted. As a result, four action fields were defined that build the basis of our strategic direction: 👷 Health & Safety (related to SDG 8 - Decent work and economic growth) 🔄 Circular Economy (related to SDG 12 - Responsible consumption and production) 🏭 GHG Emissions (related to SDG 13 - Climate action) 🌱 Responsible Sourcing (related to SDG 17 - Partnership for the goals) Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eftahpk8

In the 1987 UN Brundtland Commission Report, Our Common Future, sustainability was put forward as economic development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This definition became the thread that connected the three dimensions of sustainability: 🔸environmental 🔸social 🔸economic. If you've ever wondered why terms like 'net zero', 'climate change', 'carbon emissions' and the like get used a lot when talking about sustainability, it is because even though all three dimensions of sustainability are important and interconnected, environmental sustainability is the foundation upon which the other two aspects of sustainability rest. To achieve sustainability, we need to build a world that is net zero, climate resilient and nature positive. Building on decades of research and advancement in the 3 dimensions, in 2015 over 190 countries committed to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. This was the origin of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). These SDGs underscored the "glocal" (global and local) nature of all the issues that needed to be addressed to arrive at a truly sustainable world. There are 3 major paradigm shifts that need to happen for the world to transition from its current unsustainable path to achieve the SDGs: 🔺 Transition from a linear "take-make-waste" economy to a circular (waste and pollution) free economy 🔺 Evolve from static thinking, rooted in past and present experiences, to dynamic and futures thinking 🔺 Expand our mindsets from a reductionist mode of thinking which focuses on isolating a problem to a systems approach that looks at the bigger picture. I just finished Sustainability Foundations: Core Concepts! on Linkedin Learning, and this is just a snippet of the many things I learned and thought to share with you. I hope you learnt a few things too. #sustainability #environmentalsustainability

I'm thrilled to announce that I've completed the Sustainability Foundations course, gaining a deeper understanding of: 1. Core sustainability concepts. 2. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 3. Circular economy and dynamic thinking. 4. Systems approach to sustainability. 5. Environmental sustainability (net zero, nature positive, resilience). 6. Sustainability accounting and reporting (carbon accounting, climate risk). 7. Transformational strategies for a sustainable world. This comprehensive course has empowered me with skills, knowledge, valuable insights and expertise in sustainability: - Analyzing sustainability challenges and opportunities. - Develop innovative solutions for environmental and social impact. - Communicate effectively on sustainability issues. - Contribute to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. I'm committed to applying these insights in my professional and personal life, driving positive change and promoting sustainability. #LinkedinLearning #Sustainability #SDGs #EnvironmentalResponsibility #ClimateAction #CircularEconomy #SystemsThinking #SustainabilityAccounting #Transformatio #UNSDGs, #GreenRecovery, #SustainableFuture
