?? ERM Sustainability Institute and J.P. Morgan's new report, "The Future of Water Resilience in the U.S.," highlights water's essential yet often overlooked role in our economy and daily lives—and outlines both the challenges and opportunities shaping the water sector today. With climate change creating unpredictable water supplies and surging demand from industries like #manufacturing, #AI, #datacenters and #quantumcomputing, the need for action has never been clearer. The report also emphasizes a critical funding gap for water in the U.S., which—like the energy transition—the level of investment does not match the needed spend. Emerging water regulations only amplify the urgency to act. Federal investments are already accelerating progress, and initiatives like our National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded #GreatLakesReNEW engine are leading the charge. By driving use-inspired R&D, building an inclusive #bluejobs workforce, and developing innovative solutions that recover valuable minerals and remove harmful chemicals from wastewater, Great Lakes ReNEW is working to build a circular blue economy. As our CEO Alaina Harkness often says: Our freshwater resources are abundant— not infinite. Building resilience requires collaboration, innovation, and public-private partnerships and investment to secure our water future. ?? Explore the full report: https://lnkd.in/gDU7GHx5 ??

Last week we recognised World Water Day. The annual observance day established by the United Nations intends to bring awareness to the vital importance of fresh water, and to advocate for the conservation of this critical resource. However, while the average consumer uses 145 litres per day, for corporations that figure stretches quickly into the millions. To understand the impact of big business on water efficiency we reviewed our data on the Magnificent 7 and found one business in particular has a lot of work still to do. Do you know how your investments influence the sustainability mission? Keep watching our feed. We'll be sharing more in-depth insights into the corporate behaviours of these seven common holdings shortly. #SustainableInvesting #ResponsibleInvesting #ESG #Investing #Sustainability

Sustainability Update: May 2024 Highlights ???? ?? Carbon Market Evolution: The voluntary carbon market is enhancing integrity and transparency. New guidelines aim to ensure carbon credits truly contribute to reducing emissions, crucial for credibility and effective climate action. ?? Climate Adaptation Urgency: Without robust climate adaptation strategies, up to 4.4% of global GDP is at risk annually. Developing economies are particularly vulnerable, underscoring the economic importance of adaptation. ?? EU Regulatory Impact on Sustainability: Over 50,000 companies will soon report their environmental impact due to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. This move encourages more nature-positive corporate strategies and innovations in environmental data technologies. ?? Coffee Grounds as a Resource: Research highlights a new use for used coffee grounds—reducing agricultural contamination. This innovative approach turns waste into a valuable resource, addressing environmental issues. ?? Solar Energy Innovations: Notable solar projects include Manchester City's large-scale solar panel installation and a significant solar farm in the Arizona desert with battery storage, enhancing green power availability. These trends not only address pressing environmental issues but also integrate sustainability with broader economic and corporate goals. Let’s keep pushing for innovations that lead to a sustainable and prosperous future. ?? Engage with us on how we can make a collective impact! #Sustainability #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #CorporateResponsibility #EnvironmentalInnovation

This is a very important aspect which often gets overlooked when we talk about sustainability and decarbonisation…..It is not just an Emerging Markets issue but a global problem around Water availability , Usage , Infrastructure and appropriate pricing of this scarce natural resource.

WEBINAR: 10/09/24 2:00PM - 3:30PM BST One Carbon World are proudly supporting this autumn’s UN Global Compact Network UK webinar series on Nature-based Solutions for Business. The webinar series has been designed to support businesses learn about different actions they can implement to support nature in line with their commercial and sustainability priorities. Those attending the four-part series will: -Understand the business case for implementing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and identify relevant NbS that could be suitable to implement in their direct operations, within their value chain, or outside of their value chain (i.e., as an investment in beyond value chain mitigation). -Receive practical guidance on how to implement, monitor, and maintain various types of NbS in line with the internationally-recognised IUCN Global Standard for NbS. -Hear examples of how leading businesses have successfully deployed NbS in partnership with local stakeholders to deliver business benefits and generate wider socio-economic value. -Learn what further action is needed to close the financing gap and scale NbS. The series is being launched on Tuesday 10 th September at 2pm with a webinar on “Land-based Solutions”. The inaugural webinar is being moderated by One Carbon World’s own Head of Carbon Removals, Hayley Warrens, and will explore the core concepts of implementing land-based solutions at the corporate level.

“The stakes couldn’t be clearer: either we reshape our markets for nature, or brace for nature to reshape them for us.” We were interested to read this blog from Lindsay Hooper, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)’s CEO, on why protecting nature requires more than 'feel-good' projects from businesses. Reshaping how the public and private sectors communicate and collaborate is central to the Charter’s mission. ? “Addressing these issues will require a different level of dialogue between the public and private sectors—conversations that go beyond platitudes to tackle the redesign of markets, subsidies, and economic incentives. The UK has made some progress with recent reforms in agricultural policy, but much more is needed?– internationally – to develop mandates that drive change, catalyse innovative business models, and empower local decision-making. The strategic use of catalytic capital and philanthropy can help kickstart this shift, but policy leadership is essential to set the rules of the game, remove regulatory barriers, and embed nature into industrial, economic, and regional development strategies.” Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/eet77RtM ?

I am thrilled to announce the upcoming release of our book, "Net Zero: Decarbonizing the Global Economies," published by Springer Nature Group. Contributing to this project has been immensely fulfilling, particularly in developing the chapters on industrial processes, waste management, and agriculture, forestry, and land use. The guidance from Sinan Küfeo?lu has been incredibly inspiring throughout our work. The book also highlights over 400 innovative companies and their business models, bridging the gap between research and practical application, and offering essential insights for achieving Net Zero in all industries. #NetZero #Sustainability #ESG #ClimateChange #Decarbonization
Forthcoming book: Net Zero: Decarbonizing the Global Economies will soon be published by Springer Nature Group. This monograph is designed to provide a comprehensive and accessible reference to Net Zero efforts globally. Firstly, the book explains the basics of Net Zero, Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), and the global climate change struggle. A chapter on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), as standardisation and screening of sustainability follows. Next comes a chapter on carbon pricing and carbon tax. After these background chapters, the book continues with eight chapters that cover Net Zero across a variety of economic sectors: energy supply, business sector, transport, residential, industrial processes, waste management, public (and government), and agriculture, forestry and land use. By joining research work with the business models of 400 noteworthy and innovative companies, this book constructs a vital bridge between academia, practical reality, policy, and business implementation, with a keen focus on environmental value. The book will be around 875 pages, so there is plenty of material to read and enjoy! I would like to thank Prof Charlie Wilson from the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), University of Oxford for his kind and excellent foreword to the book.
