In many countries, green industries are booming and policymakers around the world are seeking to simultaneously stimulate their domestic development and make climate progress while also carving out a competitive edge for their countries. However, there are big gaps to bridge in finance, generation capacity, materials and policy if the world is to meet its 2050 emissions-reduction targets. Understand how the gap can be effectively bridged through bold and multifaceted partnerships that can promote equitable growth and sustainable development. #greengrowth #government #collaboration #sustainability #strategy Tristan Hockley | Edwina Chin | Parul Munshi

📣🌱 This is our window to secure a #NaturePositive economy for all by 2030. With less than 100 days until #COP16, Business for Nature coalition has published a business statement outlining five high-level policy recommendations for governments to accelerate the implementation of the #Biodiversity Plan to drive corporate #Nature action. CDP was delighted to support Business for Nature to develop these recommendations, with robust environmental disclosure at their heart. The statement, endorsed by 130 businesses and financial institutions with combined revenues of $1.1 trillion, calls on governments to adopt policies to: 🌎 Make sure business and financial actors protect nature and restore degraded ecosystems 🌎 Ensure sustainable resource use and management to reduce negative environmental impacts 🌎 Value and embed nature in decision-making and disclosure 🌎 Align all financial flows to transition to a nature-positive, net zero and equitable economy 🌎 Adopt or strengthen ambitious global agreements to address key nature loss challenges It’s time for governments to create an enabling regulatory framework and put nature at the heart of decision making.

📢 Following #COP29? Our latest report looks at the Role of Economic Regulators in the Green Transition: Driving Sustainable Change in Network Sectors 🌿 Tackling #ClimateChange and achieving the #GreenTransition requires the profound transformation of network sectors such as water, energy, e-communications, and transport. As leading public bodies in the governance of network sectors, economic regulators can significantly affect environmental outcomes. This publication discusses the role of economic regulators and the tools they can use to contribute to environmental sustainability and the green transition in the sectors they oversee. Survey data and information gathered in collaboration with the 𝐎𝐄𝐂𝐃 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 is used to analyse the use of such tools and regulator’s governance arrangements, highlighting a number of common challenges and opportunities. The report includes data relating to regulators’ objectives, powers and functions, mechanisms for co-ordination, use of regulatory management tools, and levels of capacity and resources, and integrates OECD guidance related to these topics. The report will prove valuable to economic regulators, governments and legislators with relevant responsibilities.

🌍 Embracing the EU Green Deal: A Path to Business Reinvention 🌱 The EU Green Deal is not just a policy; it's a transformative agenda that is reshaping the business landscape in Europe. With over 175 directives and regulations, it aims to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive economy. For businesses, this means new growth opportunities and obligations. Leaders must master new rules and rethink their business models to create value amidst these changes. The Green Deal's regulations can be categorized into three main types: - Environmental Regulations: Focused on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices. - Economic Regulations: Aimed at fostering green investments and ensuring financial stability during the transition. - Social Regulations: Designed to ensure social inclusivity and protect vulnerable communities during the green transition. These sustainability regulations extends beyond Europe, affecting companies worldwide that operate or sell products in the EU. A coordinated, transcontinental approach can help businesses gain advantages and mitigate regulatory risks. Reinventing business models for a sustainable European economy can preserve value, improve margins, and boost growth. PwC research shows that companies taking actions on climate-related opportunities and risks also see better financial performance. So, let's seize this opportunity to make smarter decisions about strategy, capital spending, and innovation. Together, we can make our climate actions count. #COP29 #ClimateChange #GreenDeal #BusinessReinvention #ClimateAction #PwCNederland 🔗 Discover more Green Deal & business reinvention | https://pwc.to/4ftBGRC 🔗 Check out PwC at COP29: https://pwc.to/3UOXqiJ
