French Observatory of Access Conditions to the Ecological Transition, 2024 edition ▶️ Objective: to track the evolution of access conditions to the transition for French households  ▶️ The ecological transition can only happen if all households have access to solutions. The issue of access to transition solutions is therefore crucial for climate policies.  ❓ Where do we stand today in France? Do all households have access to the ecological transition? What about low- and middle-income households?  👉 Read the report by Charlotte Vailles and Sirine Ousaci from #I4CE https://lnkd.in/ePQZ8e9k #EcologicalTransition #PublicFinance #Investments

We thought that the SDG goal #SDG6 clean water and sanitation was something quite under control in Belgium. Well, not before several PFAS measurement campaigns were started and what evolves as a #systemic problem. PFAS is not only found at production sites, but also as stated in this article at and around military basis using PFAS products that end up polluting the whole water chain. This survey from RTBF zooms in on some military basis in Belgium. https://lnkd.in/evwhM99A And as we are composed of 60% of water ourselves, we are also part of this polluted water chain.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Working on the impact assessment and revision of the #UWWTD was one of the first projects four years ago that I got to work on at Trinomics. The Directive is one of the longest-standing European legislative instruments for protecting water and nature, dating back to 1991 🕰️ However for around 30 years this Directive hadn’t undergone a major evaluation or revision—despite significant advances in science, technology, and environmental needs over the past three decades. Seeing this recast approved is a great step forward, acknowledging the evolving challenges and solutions in water management and environmental protection ✨

[NEWS] What happens when we put researchers, regional experts and other international stakeholders in a room and get them to think pragmatically about harmonised guidelines for #soil carbon policies and innovation schemes? 🍃💡💬 This is the challenge we took up last week in Brussels and it led to in-depth exchanges and enthusiastic visions for advancing soil health and climate policies 👉https://lnkd.in/e8QCFW95 #EUSoilMission #HorizonEurope

12 months delay of the EUDR application approved by the EU Parliament Today, the European Parliament voted on the European Commission’s proposal regarding the European Union Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR), leading to a 12-month delay in its application. A large portion of MEPs abstained from voting, and the proposal was approved by only a narrow majority, with votes in favour just exceeding those against. This narrow margin highlights the nuanced views on EUDR across Parliament. This postponement provides additional time for stakeholders to adapt, but it also signals the ongoing debate around the environmental issues. #EUDR #Sustainability

[CLIMATE RISKS] There is a growing demand for companies to provide information on physical climate risks through corporate reporting. Several regulatory frameworks and disclosure systems are encouraging businesses to assess and report on these risks: 🇪🇺 The European Taxonomy encourages companies to disclose information related to mitigation and adaptation efforts, identifying 28 specific climate risks (see picture) The CDP questionnaire asks companies to provide details on risks that could have a substantial financial or strategic impact on their operations. The #CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires a description of the processes used to assess climate-related impacts (by asset), risks, and opportunities, as well as the mitigation and adaptation policies, actions, and resources allocated for addressing climate change. Companies are also expected to disclose the potential financial effects of: - Significant physical climate risks - Material transition risks - Climate-related financial opportunities Additionally, the assessment of climate risks is typically based on two scenarios: RCP8.5, representing a pessimistic "business as usual" trajectory. RCP2.6, an optimistic scenario assuming strong emission reduction efforts. These reporting requirements aim to increase transparency and enhance the integration of climate risks into corporate strategic decision-making. At dss+ we we would like to support you beyond reporting, in implementing decarbonization plans and adapting your business strategy to these risks. Please for any question, reach me!

Urban wastewater: Council adopts new rules for more efficient treatment Today, the Council gave the final green light for a revised EU directive on urban wastewater treatment. The revised directive extends the scope to smaller agglomerations, covers more pollutants, including micropollutants, and contributes to energy neutrality. The new rules are one of the key deliverables under the EU’s zero-pollution action plan.

"As part of the REPowerEU plan, the European Commission set new biomethane targets back in 2022. So by 2030, the annual EU production and use of sustainable biomethane should be raised to 35 billion cubic metres. According to the EBA, the forecast growth in biomethane production has significant potential to meet Europe's gas demand: "EU gas consumption in 2022 was 355 bcm (down from 412 bcm in 2021), according to EU gas market reports," says Sainz. "According to multiple studies assessed by the EBA, the biomethane production potential by 2050 ranges between 95 and 167 bcm. This represents 27 to 47 per cent of EU gas consumption in 2022. Assuming a reduced total gas demand in 2050 of 271 bcm, it is estimated that biomethane will be able to cover 35 to 62 per cent of the European gas requirement by that date."" #BioMethane #CleanFuel https://lnkd.in/dzMbyNvv

I recommend you take a look at this survey "World opinion on climate change" published by Ipsos and EDF. Unfortunately, the English version is not yet available, but it is full of lessons and paradoxes! 👉 Anyway, Climate change remains the 🥈 second concern of the world's citizens (average of 30 countries) after the cost of living!  more https://lnkd.in/esYwgGE6

Not-for profit carbon certification standard size : number of projects registred Credits to HAMERKOP Climate Impacts. Follow Them for more valuable insights. Original post: __________ This is the FINAL infographic of our series before we publish our blog article! In this visual, we break down the size of certification standards based on the number of projects they have certified/registered 👇 Generally speaking, the older the certification standards, the larger the number of projects they have been able to certify… Nevertheless: 🌎 Some geographically focused standards (e.g., American standards, etc.) are trailing behind some of the newest standards (e.g., Global Carbon Council) 🌏 Some geographically focused standards have gained a lot of traction within a short amount of time (e.g., Label Bas Carbone in France with 575 since 2018) 🌍 Some technologically innovative standards are gaining traction and scaling up rapidly (e.g., Universal Carbon Standard – UCR) 🌎 A fair number of standards have yet to find scale, even after quite some time (e.g., Plan Vivo, British Columbia Offset Protocol, City Forest Credits, Peatland Code, CredibleCarbon, NFS) 👇 A lot of these standards are still in the process of creating a market share for themselves… We will follow their progress and comment on the evolution of this space 🚀 💥 This is a highly dynamic space and if you know of a scheme that would fit on this map, do let us know as we will update this map regularly! Also stay tuned for our upcoming blog posts delving into the research behind these infographics and the insight we have gained… 👉 Enjoy this kind of content? Follow our page and visit our website for more thought leadership related to the carbon market, climate finance, and sustainable development! __________ ♻️ Find this post useful?
