|
Jul 25 · Why GreenBiz is now Trellis by Joel Makower

The newly released Sustainability Leaders 2024 Survey reveals that although sustainability experts’ perceptions of how well sectors are managing their transition to sustainability have improved over the last few years, only one-third or fewer say performance is excellent, even for the top-rated sectors. Overall, sustainability professionals award mostly poor ratings for all sectors except forest products and life sciences.

|
Jul 25 · Why GreenBiz is now Trellis by Joel Makower
Organizers minimize construction, ban most single-use plastics and eliminate generators to cut emissions in half compared with past events.
The Olympics present a dilemma for environmentalists and sustainability pros who applaud elite athleticism but cringe at the massive greenhouse gas emissions from staging in-person sporting events. The Paris games from July 26 to Aug. 11 are breaking that cycle.
More than 11,200 athletes will compete in Paris - almost four times the number who gathered 100 years ago when the city last hosted the world’s largest multi-sport competition. They’ll be cheered in person by 326,000 ... | By Heather Clancy Read more ...

|
Jul 21 · Former Verra CEO David Antonioli believes the carbon market is missing a golden opportunity to design and deploy carbon finance as a powerful transitional tool toward a zero-carbon economy. He outlines his vision in a new, six-part report.
The integrity of the voluntary carbon market (VCM) has been called into question in recent years as awareness has grown of the prevalence of low-quality offset projects - which, at best, exaggerate their claims of removing climate-changing emissions; and at worst, can do more harm than good.
