🌍 Climate change is real, and so is our commitment to action. 🌱 New Leaf Paper is thrilled to share our first Climate Report as a reflection of our ongoing dedication to sustainability. Through transparent reporting and impactful goals, we're proud to align with the SME Climate Hub and to join the United Nation's Race to Zero campaign. Our promise: To actively reduce emissions, track progress, and strive for net-zero by 2050, all while targeting a 50% reduction by 2030. Together, we’re working towards a greener, more resilient planet. 🌿 Join us on this journey to make a meaningful difference. Read our Climate Report and discover how you can join the race to a sustainable future. 🌍💚 #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #RaceToZero #SustainabilityJourney #ClimateReport #EcoFriendly #ClimateCommitment #Sustainability #SustainableFuture #SustainablePaper #BCorp #OneTreePlanted https://lnkd.in/eAa4aP7C

The worst-case scenarios are worse🔥🌳. The most granular and empirical analysis to date of the projected economic impact of worsening climate damages is so terrifying because the scenarios it explores are so plausible.

Climate change is caused by humans, and only humans have the power to change it. Today the 24th October is International Day of Climate Action. It will take more than one day, but we can all start changing. #togetherwecan #climatechange https://lnkd.in/eQgaJSf9

Understanding Climate Change: Exploring Perspectives Join the conversation on climate change! Check out this insightful discussion covering various viewpoints and controversies surrounding the issue. From the causes and impacts to strategies for mitigation and adaptation, the discourse highlights the complexity of the climate challenge. Key Points: 1. Causes of Climate Change: Debate between natural vs. human-induced factors, including discussions on fossil fuel emissions and deforestation. 2. Impacts of Climate Change: Insights into rising global temperatures, ecological damage, and economic consequences affecting industries like agriculture and tourism. 3. Addressing Climate Change: From reducing greenhouse gas emissions to implementing adaptation measures, explore strategies to combat and adapt to the changing climate. #ClimateChange #Environment #Sustainability Link (https://lnkd.in/d4Jfph8u)

Hope. "A new book by sociologist Dana Fisher argues that global climate negotiations have proven ineffective. So it’s time for regular people to get organized and take back power from fossil fuel companies."

I know some climate change skeptics -- perhaps you do too. This is a fascinating article by Jury Gualandris, who went undercover as a climate denier on LinkedIn to engage compassionately with skeptics and spark informed discussions. It's a great read for anyone who cares about promoting science-based dialogue and making strides in sustainability. #ClimateChange #Sustainability 

Asking #OPEC to stop producing oil/gas is like asking any business to stop selling its main products; it will never happen. By contrast, a demand-side #decarbonization strategy by #cities and #bioregions, which consume 80% of #energy as BUYERs and emit 70%+ of #carbon would work since cities want declining prices for clean energy, not volatile oil/gas prices. My "#Gaiapolis Strategy" book lays out a global framework and roadmap for rapid #urban decarbonization, which emphasizes active #citizen involvement with #mayors and local leaders. https://lnkd.in/gmGTQETg

The Green New Deal – Evaluation with the En-Roads Climate Model   Evaluating Proposed Climate Solutions  What I love about using the En-Roads Model is being able to take any proposed climate solution and being able to evaluate it for its merit from a scientific point of view.  Case in point, I am a huge believer in the Green New Deal which addresses climate change from a technical viewpoint and a human vantage point which occasionally gets overlooked when creating answers to our problems.  The goal of the Green New Deal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst consequences of climate change while also trying to fix societal problems like economic inequality and racial injustice.    The Green New Deal as a global climate solution  How does the Green New Deal hold up as a feasible response to climate change? After reviewing the proposal, the following can be implemented within the model.   The Green New Deal proposes we reach Net Zero which means the number of emissions stops increasing as the amounts of carbon dioxide equivalent are reduced and/or sequestered to the point where there is no net increase. This can be accomplished by:       1)  Adopting and maximizing the amount of renewables   2)  Implementing a carbon price and optimizing the carbon price   3)  Fully leveraging the energy efficiency for transportation and building and   4) Harness carbon removal by technological means.      Please note there are various ways to achieve Net Zero emissions. This method is one of many viable ways of reducing the number of carbon dioxide equivalents to the point they are no longer increasing.    Application of the EnRoads model to the Green New Deal and its impacts    Running the simulation shows that by implementing these policies temperature increase worldwide could be limited to 1.9 C by the year 2100. The simulator also allows us to receive insights into the impacts implementing the Green New Deal proposal which include reducing death from excessive heats in North America by half, eliminating the threat of annual flooding from sea level rise for 26 million people (about the population of Texas), and reducing air pollution from particulate matter @ 2.5 microns over 99%.     The possibilities are clear. But getting people to invest at a level to make these a reality is not so clear. I have heard the Green New Deal being described as a “dream”. And it many ways it is. But there is some scientific basis to the plan which I have tried to provide to the reader. Hopefully, this will change the way people view the Green New Deal to be something which might be possible and should be considered as a solution to climate change. 

📢 We have an important ANNOUNCEMENT - Ever wondered how human behaviour and innovative strategy can pave the way towards climate action? According to a study conducted by the University of Michigan, nearly 15% of Americans don’t believe in climate change. This pressing issue needs to be analyzed further, to change the mind to take on climate change. The newest edition of Sustainiam’s Sustainable Narratives blog tackles this issue and more!
