Global economy consumes >100bn tonnes of raw materials & discards 90bn tonnes as waste 😱 By 2050, demand will double! 🌍

The “take-make-waste” linear model of economic expansion is unsustainable, not only on environmental terms, but also from an economic security and inclusion dimension.

Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe’s Circular Economy Transition

This is the World Bank’s first comprehensive report providing an assessment of the problem and proposing solutions to decouple growth from material consumption. The report examines the EU's experience in furthering the circular economy agenda to elicit lessons that can benefit countries within and beyond Europe’s borders.

Thanks to #ChatGPT I just created, in less than 20 minutes, a perfect python script to perform an #ESG materiality assessment through scraping and natural processing language.

I am speechless.

Everything is going to change. I asked #OpenAI #ChatGPT to create a survey with leading descriptions & examples + a corresponding algorithm that can help me identify the perception of stakeholders on specific topics. These are the results on my 1st attempt:

A very interesting study published on Nature concludes that appearance of fast #decarbonisation progress by companies with Science-Based Targets "is strongly misleading and a consequence of heavy reliance on RECs, which are not associated with real emission reductions".

Renewable energy certificates threaten the integrity of corporate science-based targets - Nature Climate Change

Companies commonly use renewable energy certificates to report progress towards emission reduction targets. However, this use of certificates is unlikely to result in actual emission reductions, which undermines the credibility of corporate emission reduction claims and their alignment with the Paris Agreement goal.

Plastics are the largest, most harmful, persistent fraction of marine litter.

Marine ecosystems are being impacted by #PlasticPollution, in particular to microplastics. Today, through the food chain, microplastics have become pervasive and can be found also beyond seafood.

Microplastics have been found in:

🧂️ Salt
🍯 Honey
🍞 Bread
🍺 Beer
🚰 Water

I encourage everyone to download and read and share the report "Climate Change 2021: Summary for All", a plain-language summary of the IPCC Working Group I climate change report released in August 2021.

Many know the #climatestripes, created by @JoanESheldon and popularized by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading in 2018. They are a simple series of vertical coloured bars, showing the heating of the planet over 200 years.

Not everyone knows about the Global Bio Stripes. They show the decline of wildlife from 1970 to 2016 (based on data from Living Planet Index)
