Cynthia Honihui, Solomon Islands Lawyer and President for the Pacific Islands Fighting Climate Change, presented the 4th annual Talbot Oration on World Environment Day, 5 June at the Australia Institute. Here's the talk where Cynthia discusses her participation in the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion Campaign for climate justice and human rights, and next steps for climate justice in the ICJ. 

Sustainability is an area that affects all businesses, no matter the sector. We are all currently contributing to the climate crisis, from travel and hospitality to manufacturing to those working in an office or from home. You may be surprised to hear that the legal sector is currently one of the leaders in championing sustainability, not just in enforcing new environmental legislation, but also leading by example in the race to net zero. One such stand out leader is today's guest – Clyde & Co, a global law firm that have made great strides in their sustainability journey. In this episode, Mel is joined by Paddy Linighan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Clyde & Co, to discuss their ambitious net zero targets, sustainability initiatives and their journey towards ISO 14064 Carbon Verification.   You'll learn What is Paddy Linighan's role as CSO? Who are Clyde & Co? What are their net zero targets according to their responsible Business report? What sustainability initiatives have Clyde & Co introduced? Why get ISO 14064 verified? What were the challenges with obtaining ISO 14064 verification? What are the benefits of obtaining ISO 14064 Verification?   Resources Clyde & Co Clyde & Co Responsible Business report Carbonology   In this episode, we talk about: [00:25] Episode Summary – We welcome today's guest, Paddy Linighan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Clyde & Co, to dive into their responsible business report, discuss their net zero ambitions and journey towards ISO 14064 Carbon Verification. [01:40] Introduction to Paddy: Paddy has 30 years experience in the legal sector, and was formerly the Chief Operating Officer for Clyde & Co before transitioning to the role of Chief Sustainability Officer. Paddy is also a Director at the Legal Sustainability Alliance, which is an association committed to supporting the legal sector to measure and manage their carbon emissions to achieve net zero. One lesser-known fact is that Paddy was a Latin and ballroom dancer! [02:30] Who are Clyde & Co? – They are a global law firm with 500 partners, 2700 lawyers and 3216 legal professionals across the world and operating out of 70 offices. They set out to help organisations successfully navigate risk and maximise the opportunity in the sectors that underpin global trade, namely insurance, aviation, marine construction, energy, trade and natural resources. They offer a comprehensive range of contentious and non-contentious legal services and commercially minded legal advice to businesses operating across the world in seamless fashion. Clyde & Co are committed to operating in a responsible way by progressing a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities and the clients it serves, and provides an environment in which hopefully everyone can realise their potential. They use their legal and professional skills to support communities through pro bono work, volunteering charitable partnerships, and minimisation of environmental impact through the pursuit of sustainability standards. [04:25] What are some of the Net Zero targets highlighted in Clyde & Co's responsible business report? Near term target: Reduce their scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 80% by 2030 and scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030. Long term target: Have a 90% reduction in emissions by 2038  Focused on decarbonizing their operations across the globe. [06:25] What are some of the sustainability initiatives that Clyde & Co have started? All their initiatives can be broadly groups into 3 categories, but ultimately they seek to decarbonize their operations, address resource consumption and offset emissions where possible. They found that 95% of their emissions reside in their scope 3, which is due to their supply chain. A few of their initiatives include rationalizing their supply chain to reduce the impact of purchasing goods and services. They are also supporting their supply chain to measure and reduce their own emissions. Clyde & Co have also incorporated their sustainability requirements into their Procurement Process and Due Diligence Process. One challenging area for a professional services business like Clydo & Co is sustainable business travel. They have adopted a global note on sustainable travel, which trickles down into regional travel policies. Working with travel management companies, they will implement those new policies, in addition to improving the quality of travel data collection and prioritisation of sustainability over cost. Clyde & Co are also making the move to switch direct and in-direct consumption of fossil fuels to renewable energy in the heating and cooling of their buildings. As of summer 2023, all UK offices were on 100% renewable energy! They aim to roll this out on a global scale, but understand that there are significant challenges with doing so. [09:30] How did Clyde & Co celebrate Earth Day? They introduced climate change awareness training on Earth Day. It wasn't mandatory in any way, and included the rolling out of several blogs and videos which were produced by AXA Climate School in Paris. They ran these through Earth Day (April 22nd) to World Environment Day (5th June). Covering topics such as: Financial disclosures Plastic pollution Saving water Beekeeping Composting This led to a campaign called ‘Zero as One' which helped to create of a network of sustainable champions across their organisation, who help to further raise awareness and where there may be regional issues with reducing resource consumption and energy use. This campaign has continued and is beginning to facilitate a structured, bespoke training programme for all Clyde & Co staff which covers climate awareness to climate competency. It will encourage people to think ‘How can I, as an individual, make a difference?' [15:30] The Clyde & Co Community Forest – A 6.2 hectare plot of land is shared with 2 other community groups, and is not only being used for reforestation but also biodiversity, focusing on red squirrels in particular. Getting this project set up included: Gauging the appetite of colleagues: They offered increased level of refforestation for every response they had to their annual ‘Have your Say' survey. For every response received, they would add 2 square metres of forest. So, 5000 people would give them a hectare. It was a knowledge gathering exercise and experience of what a carbon offset project would look like. They know that they'll never be able to 100% decarbonise their operations, but they hope to get it down to 10% remaining emissions which can be offset with more projects like the community forest. [19:35] What does Paddy think of the sustainability reporting regulatory requirements affecting the legal sector? Not only do lawyers have a key part to play in supporting and advising clients in relation to how they navigate towards a low carbon economy, but they are also a part of many businesses supply chain – meaning they would be included in scope 3 emissions for others. Putting in the work at their end enables them to proactively help and assist clients with their emissions reduction and reporting. The drive in this sector is mostly due to client demand. [21:10] The increase in sustainability targets in North American companies: Paddy highlights that a recent report issued by Climate Impact Partners found that 79% of North American companies now have climate targets, which is up 6% on Asian companies and just shy of European companies. 61% of those North American companies report under ISO 14064. [23:00] What were the drivers behind Clyde & Co getting ISO 14064 verified?: High Transparency: They wanted to ensure that any disclosed information was reliable and that they'd had third-party verification to back that up, making them much more comfortable putting that information out into the public. Financial Benefits: Sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reduction was a part of their main KPI's to tackle, the main reason being to save money through not only the reduction in energy use but also reduced interest rates as a result of their sustainability efforts. [25:20] What were the main challenges in obtaining ISO 14064 verification?: Clyde & Co are a large organisation, so gathering and quantifying the necessary emissions information was like getting blood from a stone! Nearly 65 – 70 sites only have a small team of 5 people, and getting data from each can be time consuming. Also, the quality of data can vary a great degree with that many sites, especially on a global scale as you need to consider the conversion factors when collating all the data into something verifiable. [26:50] What impact has ISO 14064 verification had on Clyde & Co's sustainability credentials?: Very simply, it validates Clyde & Co's claims. With the third-party assessment, it shows that they are actually doing what they say they're doing, and not simply paying lip service. [27:45] What were the main benefits of getting ISO 14064 verified?: Helping to secure financial benefits: ISO 14064 verification is proof enough for banks to issue discounts on interest rates Ease of process: The audit process introduced for ISO 14064 can be repeated as needed. As a result of getting verified, Clyde & Co found the exercise a good stress test for existing auditing procedures, and found a way to simplify them further. Credibility: Third-party verification adds a level of credibility which is lacking from internal calculation alone. [29:00] Paddy's top tip for anyone considering ISO 14064 verification: Do not let perfection get in the way of progress. They found that people can become a bit defensive in audits, trying to avoid errors being picked up, however, audits are meant to be constructive. They are opportunities to pick up on areas for improvement. [30:40] Paddy's book recommendation: The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson [32:10] Paddy's favourite quote: The greatest threat to our planet, is the belief that someone else will save it – Robert Swan OBE If you would like to learn more about Clyde & Co, and their sustainability initiatives, visit their website.

New research unveiled by Dell Technologies to mark World Environment Day has revealed that 77% of businesses in Ireland now have a clear sustainability roadmap with defined goals to reduce their carbon footprint. Based on responses from 100 IT and business decision markers, the innovation catalysts study suggests while there is a high level of understanding of the environmental standards as set out in law, there is, many businesses are concerned about their ability to meet those standards. 68% of respondents say they understand all the environmental regulations their organisation needs to comply with. However, 50% report that they struggle to keep pace with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and initiatives. Sustainability Priorities & Role of Technology When asked how they are prioritising sustainability across their organisations, 61% said they are prioritising improving their energy efficiency, while 41% are investing in the right skills and talent to meet their sustainability targets. Additionally, 40% have already initiated recycling programs, with a further 39% committed to minimising waste production. The survey also points towards the growing role played by technology in advancing sustainability. 70% are experimenting with as-a-Service solutions to manage their IT environment more efficiently to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. 56% of IT decision-makers in Ireland reported using alternative cooling solutions such as air cooling and liquid cooling to save energy in their data centres. Companies are also moving AI inferencing to the Edge to become more energy efficient. This includes accelerating the move to smart buildings. Close to one in three (30%) believe there's an untapped potential for organisations to harness AI for driving sustainable innovation, with 28% already leveraging data analytics to optimise and deepen their understanding of environmental impacts and to inform their sustainable innovation strategies. Embracing the Circular Economy The commitment to sustainability extends beyond operational efficiency, as evidenced in the study, 75% of the respondents cited plans to responsibly retire or recycle end-of-life IT equipment, with 80% already investing in equipment with extended lifecycles and are easy to repair and upgrade, aligning with principles of circular economy. The study also emphasises that Irish businesses see transparency and accountability as a non-negotiable in vendor relationships, with 74% of respondents demanding clear sustainability goals and emissions accountability from their suppliers across the value chain and 67% acknowledging the value of collaborating with third-party companies to advance sustainability initiatives. George Maybury, Enterprise, and Public Sector Director at Dell Technologies said: "As we mark World Environment Day, it's positive to see the proactive steps being taken by Irish businesses to create a more sustainable future. Our research underscores the increasing important role played by technology in helping organisations become more energy efficient, reduce carbon emissions and create a circular economy. "Despite the progress being made, there is a large number of businesses that are struggling to keep pace with increasingly complex environmental standards. They will require support in order to achieve their climate action targets. At Dell Technologies, we remain committed to supporting businesses on their sustainability journey, leveraging cutting-edge solutions to help them meet and exceed their environmental goals".

June 5th is the World Environment Day, an annual event dedicated to raising global awareness and action for the protection of our environment. We all prefer a world where our lands flourish, ecosystems thrive, and communities prosper. This isn't just a dream, but our mission. Today, let's explore the significance of land restoration and the transformative efforts taking place around the globe, especially in China. On the show: Niu Honglin, Yushan & Steve Hatherly

"Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration." This rallying cry sets the stage for this year's World Environment Day on June 5, the UN's largest platform for environmental action. Hosted by Saudi Arabia, the 2024 celebrations focus on land restoration, combating desertification, and building drought resilience. The urgency is clear: nearly two million species, including beloved otters, face extinction. Shockingly, the U.S. is the only UN member state that hasn't ratified the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, side-lining itself from vital global discussions. Meanwhile, other nations strive to meet ambitious biodiversity targets. What role should major nations play in this effort? How can global cooperation be strengthened to protect our environment? And what must be done to save our planet's precious biodiversity?

At least 40 percent of the land in the world is degraded. This is according to the United Nations Environment Program, which says the problem has affected around 3.2 billion people globally due to desertification. As the international community marks World Environment Day today, the UN predicts that more than three-quarters of the global population will be affected by drought by 2050. Maureen Ojiambo reports.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on the 5th of June in light of the need to raise awareness and encourage action to protect the environment. The 2024 World Environment Day theme is Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. This theme resonates well with the submissions in the white paper published by the NESG Sustainability Policy Commission in March 2024, “A Pragmatic Path to Net-Zero Using the Green Economy, Blue Economy, and Forestry.” While environmental sustainability issues remain a global concern, Nigeria is one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, flooding, more intense storms, and desertification. Therefore, this podcast will highlight the imperatives to address the interrelated issues of climate change, environmental conservation and social well-being. Bringing his wealth of experience as an Environmental Sustainability and Waste Management Consultant with over 20 years of experience, Dr Femi Idowu-Adegoke will discuss the challenges, policy priorities and the collective role of businesses and individuals towards environmental conservation and sustainability in Nigeria.

On Daybreak Africa: South Korea hosts dozens of African leaders in the first Korea-Africa Summit. Plus, today is World Environment Day, and UN says billions of people are affected by land degradation. Analysts say a coalition government will affect South Africa's domestic and global policies. Civil society organizations in Zambia are concerned about what they say is the unconstitutional denial by the police of the right of opposition parties to hold political rallies. For this and more tune to Daybreak Africa!

On #WorldEnvironmentDay Mara Elephant Project wanted to highlight how we're using technology and data to monitor and restore the ecosystem's health and there is no better person than MEP Data and Reporting Manager Francis Odero to explain. Francis is an active member of #GenerationRestoration having grown up in Kajiado in Kenya fascinated by the role tech and data plays in better understanding the landscape. Enjoy

On the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we're celebrating World Environment Day by discussing how our relationship with non-human animals contributes to the climate crisis and asking what we can do to change it. Despite research illustrating the widespread environmental impact of animal agriculture, it is often an issue that gets left out of conversations about the climate crisis. To help us explore why this is and what we can do about it, we're joined by Dr Richard Twine and Dr Heather Marshall from The Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edgehill University. Together, with our host, they unpack the role that the current relationship between humans and animals plays in the environmental crisis, the impacts of the climate crisis on animals and how education can play a key role in encouraging wider adoption of veganism. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.  

Restoring land, halting desertification and building resilience against drought are the focus of World Environment Day on 5 June.Up to 40 per cent of the world's land is already degraded, while more than three billion people worldwide are negatively impacted by drought, according to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).UN News's Julia Dean in Canberra spoke with UNEP's Coordinator for Nature Action in Asia and the Pacific, Makiko Yashiro, about the 2024 campaign and why these are such critical issues for people and planet. 

By Selva Ozelli SNPIT is a groundbreaking snap-to-earn blockchain platform that allows photographers to monetize their photography by creating NFT's and selling them. Developed by Gallusys and published by Zeal Nova, SNPIT has garnered significant attention and success in Japan. SNPIT a blockchain solution for photography SNPIT taps into the contemporary habit of frequent photography by allowing photographers to earn rewards for their work by creating NFTs. Tokenizing photography is the practice of creating and selling unique digital editions of photographs as NFTs on blockchain platforms like SNPIT. These NFTs can include anything from fine art prints to press photos, to photos of art work and they are often accompanied by exclusive content like videos or audio recordings. A photographic NFT is more than just an expensive jpeg or a digital license allowing a collector to share photographer's art freely. It is a digital asset and photographer's proof of provenance traceable to the photographer at its origin on the blockchain. Since its beta launch in September 2023 after the NFT market boom, the SNPIT platform has garnered immense attention. Within a mere 21 hours, SNPIT completely sold out its collection of 10,000 Camera NFTs priced at 150 $MATIC each. In the US, on June 5 and then again on November 20, 2023, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC') named Polygon's $MATIC as an 'unregistered security' involved in the digital asset trading on the Binance and Kraken crypto exchanges. Since then, CoinMarketCap's data revealed that $MATIC's price dropped considerably. This swift sell-out of NFTs in exchange for $MATIC in Japan, underscores the platform's rising popularity and the considerable interest in its unique features. SNIPIT is now expanding globally to introduce its innovative features to new markets focusing on Korea, MENA, and English-speaking regions Website hopefully with regulatory compliance in each new jurisdiction as the company expands globally following the tokenized collectibles trend. Toshiyuki Otsuka, the visionary CEO and founder of SNPIT, explained "SNPIT transcends being just an app; it's a movement empowering users to transform everyday moments into valuable assets. Our successful debut in Japan validates our vision, and we are excited to introduce SNPIT to a global audience. We firmly believe that our innovative blend of lifestyle and GameFi, powered by DePIN technology, will resonate with users worldwide, and we remain committed to expanding our influence." Strategic partnerships have been instrumental in enhancing SNPIT's visibility and attracting a diverse user base. Recently, SNPIT has launched the "World Repository," a photo database leveraging DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) technology, allowing users to upload photos with precise timestamps and location data. The "World Repository" aims to revolutionize how we document, share, and use visual data, fostering a more connected and informed world by enhancing map services with detailed area information. By inviting global contributions, the "World Repository" securely stores and makes these photos accessible worldwide. The database supports various applications, including cultural heritage restoration, metaverse content creation, environmental conservation, and generative AI training. For example, photographers could celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with theme of land restoration, desertification and drought resilience by uploading their photos of the desert from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the World Repository. Or photographers can celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8th, hosted in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York and broadcast digitally live worldwide with a theme Awaken New Depths by uploading photos from the UNESCO OCEAN DECADE TIDES OF CHANGE WAVES OF HOPE ART SHOW hosted by Art on the Ave NYC at Fulton Center of art work of artists: Alfons Rodriguez (Melting A...

For next week's World Environment Day, Lisa's guests discuss the state of the climate today, myriad climate policy boards, and the inclusion of the youth voice. There is an incredible array of resources and opportunities for young people in Luxembourg on the subject and countless organisations working together on the issue — but is it enough? We have all noticed how wet this spring has been. Conversation in my circles have noted the long-term predictions of climate change on our weather patterns and seasons: more humidity, increased storms and rainfall in this geographical zone. The mention of climate change in the media is at risk of becoming jaded as it's on-going, requiring swift action but that action is sloth-like due to the need for global buy-in. People tune out if they feel they cannot make a difference. Not everyone can be an activist. And so, we rely on the scientific research to influence policy makers from around the world to act. Even if they agree to act, that policy then needs to be implemented in each country. And so the ultimate trickle down is that we, as citizens, need to be nudged into behavioural change that is the decision without requiring thought. My guests this week range from those who have spent many years researching climate related topics and climate policy-making, to the youth voice who were given the opportunity to be present at a COP event. Dr Andrew Ferrone is a physical climatologist, Andrew works at the interface of climate science and policy. He is Head of the Meteorological Service of the Administration of Technical Agricultural Services (ASTA) in Luxembourg, President of Luxembourg's Climate Policy Observatory (OPC) and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of Spuerkeess. He is also the Permanent Representative to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the Head of the Luxembourg delegation to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and coordinates the European Union's team of negotiators for scientific issues under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Andrew talks about his vast experience at these conferences and how to try to get consensus between countries with very different objectives, whether that be due to the stage of industrial development they are in, oil-rich countries or if they're islands at risk of disappearing. Claudia Hitaj is an advisor on climate change and sustainable finance at the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Biodiversity. Her work straddles economics, environmental policy and making the youth voice heard. The Ministry's Climate Youth Delegate Programme will bring two climate youth delegates, Frida Thorsteinsdottir and Natasha Lepage, to COP 29 to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan this November. They'll both have a chance to participate in a training program at COP29 and the UNFCCC for youth delegates from countries all over the world. Bartłomiej Nowak, 18 years old, took part in the National Junk Fuerscher Contest in 2022 and 2023, Luxembourg Informatics Olympiad in 2023, was awarded participation in COP28 in Dubai, where he met the Luxembourgish delegation and presented his project in the BENELUX-EIB pavilion in the blue zone. Arnfridur (Frida) Thorsteinsdottir, 17 years old student at ISL, was a finalist in the Jonk Fuerscher Contest 2024 due to her project on fish migration in Iceland. She will be travelling to COP29 in Baku with Natasha. Federica Maestri work with the Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg and talks about their commitment to sending young scientists to incredible science fairs and science events all around the world. https://www.un.org/en/observances/environment-day https://www.jugendrot.lu/cyd-2/ https://fjsl.lu/ https://unfccc.int/cop29

The Indian government wants us to ditch gas and use electricity for our cooking needs. It believes it's going to be better for the environment. At least, that's what it hinted at a conference conducted on World Environment Day (5th June). So in today's episode for 14th June 2023, we talk about e-cooking (electric cooking) and how it could face an even bigger roadblock than the transition to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders. A few weeks back we did an in-depth video explainer on ITC's business model and many of you enjoyed it. So today, we thought we could do a similar video on Avenue Supermarts — the company that runs DMart, one of India's most profitable supermarket chains. So, if you'd like to know more about DMart's business model and the secrets behind their discounted pricing, head over to the link bit.ly/42CwhQT qnd watch the video now!

This week the UN celebrated World Environment Day, placing an emphasis on plastic pollution in the world's seas. This has put the focus on the Mediterranean Sea as well, one of the most impacted seas when it comes to plastic pollution. As the UN looks to convene a global treaty conference to cut plastic pollution and recycle, a group of Greek fishermen have found an innovative way to remove and recycle plastic waste from the sea. John Psaropoulos, an independent journalist based in Athens and Al Jazeera's southeast Europe correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the challenges plastic waste poses to the Mediterranean and Greece and the efforts of these Greek fishermen who are working to rid the Mediterranean of this waste. Read John Psaropoulos' latest piece in Al Jazeera here: Greek NGO leads ‘crazy' bid to rid Mediterranean of plastic wasteYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Cyprus unveils campaign to counter spike in asylum seekersMinister highlights progress in migration management effortsTurkey's new defense minister vows to protect ‘Blue Homeland'
