🆕 As EU ministers in charge of environment and climate met today to discuss the EU’s 2040 climate targets, the Financial Times highlighted the advocacy letter organized by Corporate Leaders Groups Europe and signed by over 100 businesses and investors, including Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Google and IKEA to name a few. The letter calls on ministers to commit to cutting emissions by 90 percent by 2040, from 1990 levels (📩 https://lnkd.in/eKZ7aMfY). 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/efHYwNvG Our CEO, María Mendiluce, added: “Science has recently shown us climate change is accelerating beyond our best prediction and while we work out the unknowns it is imperative we push for more and faster.” #90PercentBy2040 #EUGreenDeal #ClimateAction #FossilToClean

SBTi Challenges Amazon's Push for Carbon Credits: A Debate Over Corporate Climate Strategies - Amazon, a major player in global commerce, has been pushing for more lenient standards regarding carbon offsets. The Bezos Earth Fund, directed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and one of SBTi’s largest funders, reportedly held meetings in London earlier this year, applying pressure on SBTi representatives to reconsider their stance on carbon offsets. These efforts aimed to persuade SBTi to allow carbon offsets as a legitimate pathway for meeting supply-chain climate targets. However, Amazon was removed from the UN-backed SBTi late last year for failing to set adequate net-zero targets in line with SBTi’s criteria. Amazon's strategy to influence global climate standards has drawn criticism for prioritizing corporate interests over environmental science. By depending on unbundled Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and other contentious techniques, Amazon has been accused of hiding the real climate effect of its operations, in contrast to Apple, which seeks to shift its supply chain to renewable energy at scale.

Actually UNDP Climate.. Brazil's Amazon states are indeed at the forefront of global climate action, pioneering a transformative approach that prioritizes indigenous leadership and forest preservation. By recognizing the intrinsic value of indigenous knowledge and rights, these states are empowering native communities to take charge of their lands and destinies. This shift towards indigenous-led conservation and sustainable development is not only crucial for protecting the Amazon's precious biodiversity but also for addressing the climate crisis. Through innovative initiatives like carbon finance and reforestation efforts, the Amazon states are showcasing a model of climate action that prioritizes justice, equity, and community-led solutions. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, Brazil's Amazon states are illuminating a path forward, one that honors the sacred relationship between #people, #forest, and #planet.

How often have you heard people say "we need a price on carbon emissions"? Well, that's because we do. A year ago we decided that our widely recognized climate label should become a symbol for product and service companies that voluntarily price their carbon emissions. We kicked off an in-depth process that would do this and align with rapid changes we're seeing across regulation, carbon markets, consumer values, and sustainability strategy. Stakeholder input has been critical to this initiative, and we're now nearing the end of the window for you to share input on our public survey. Do it now, before June 14! Take a minute (actually, ten) to chime in: changeclimate.org/2025 Why bother? Because the climate movement needs more companies to put real money into the transition. And because ... you guessed it ... we need a price on carbon emissions.

Measurement and carbon emission pricing are the first steps to continuous improvement, key principles of top tier industrial companies. How do your supply chain and operations measure up?

The Amazon is battling record early-year fires.    It’s fuelling fears of a worse climate crisis to come as blazes kill vegetation that is key to absorbing planet-warming carbon dioxide.    Researchers say climate change increases the likelihood of events such as droughts or floods. At the same time, large swathes of forest are vanishing to deforestation and fire, making it less resilient.     Some scientists fear this combination may push the forest to a tipping point of no return. Instead of absorbing planet-heating carbon, the forest would die out, becoming a net carbon emitter and accelerating climate change - a shift already detected in some areas.    Read the story by andré cabette fábio to find out more.   https://lnkd.in/eMaBakyw

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating those who move from talk to action. Because we understand the urgency to move from climate promises to real, measurable progress. To do so, we must both drastically reduce emissions as well as remove unavoidable CO₂ emissions from the air. That’s where we can help, by providing high-quality carbon removal solutions for companies to make good on their climate commitments. By partnering with us, you’ll join climate leaders such as Microsoft, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and JPMorgan Chase & Co. in delivering climate impact that’s permanent, verified, and additional.
