Hi everyone, I am the Communications Coordinator at Campus Climate Action Corps, an AmeriCorps service program focused on climate action through college-community collaborations and I recently spearheaded and launched the ongoing ‘Environment for Everyone Campaign’ that is focused on addressing the urgent need for immediate climate action by providing accessible information, resources, and opportunities for people of all demographics to take advantage of! Our materials regard ways to improve energy efficiency and ecosystem health that benefit people and planet!

I would absolutely love it if you took a look at our content so far and share it with your audiences to spread the word about our campaign and the CCAC program! Learn more about the Environment for Everyone Campaign here: https://compact.org/current-programs/americorps/campus-climate-action-c…. You can also see overviews of our Climate Action Tips emails that kicked off the campaign during Earth Week by scrolling to the bottom of our CCAC homepage (compact.org/ccac).

Otherwise, please feel free to subscribe to our mailing list to get more information about our program activities and opportunities for involvement and get direct access to our resources as soon as they are available!

Dear community, Please kindly see this interesting publication the "UNECE/OECD Guidelines for Measuring Circular Economy (CE)" which clarifies the headline definition of a circular economy, providing a conceptual framework, proposing a set of harmonised indicators to monitor progress, and discussing important measurement considerations including links with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA).
It also provides practical guidance for producing and using statistics to produce the core indicators, the required institutional collaboration and national case examples.GGKP is keen to further consult the community and facilitate knowledge exchange and enhance synergies and a common language for core indicators to measure the circular economy. Please kindly see a poll in preparation for a discussion.

Join us to discuss National Stewardship Action Council and Zero Waste Sonoma sponsored SB 1066 (Blakespear): Marine Flare Extended Producer Responsibility! We will take input from all stakeholders that have information to help us craft a model bill for the rest of the nation. We will need input on bill specifics, such as goals and metrics, to ensure a convenient take-back system is developed.

We’ve made this webinar FREE to all stakeholders nationally to ensure input from boaters, producers, harbors, boat safety officers, police and fire departments, hazardous waste managers, haulers and disposal facilities, and anyone who can help craft a great bill resulting in a great program.

Hi everybody!
I’m conducting research for my thesis from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam about the inclusion of the rights of future generations in the objectives of the European Green Deal. The latest report by the IPCC suggest that if concrete actions are not taken now it will jeopardise the well-being of generations to come.
I'm looking for people involved in climate action that would be willing to share their perspective on the topic with me in a brief online interview. Thanks for considering and I wish you all a great day!
If there are any questions about the process I'd be really happy to answer them via mail: [email protected] or on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ewa-brózda-2376292a9/

Is Double Materiality important?

Double materiality is crucial for comprehensive ESG reporting and decision-making. It prompts organizations to conduct a more thorough assessment of risks and opportunities, not just from a financial perspective but also considering the broader environmental and social impacts. This holistic approach is essential for:

Sustainable Decision Making
Encouraging companies to adopt strategies that are not only economically viable but also sustainable in the long term for the environment and society.

Transparency and Accountability
Enhancing disclosure practices, thereby providing investors, regulators, and stakeholders with a clearer understanding of a company's sustainability performance.

Risk Management
Identifying potential risks and opportunities from both a financial and non-financial perspective allows for more robust risk management strategies.
