We're proud to have been ranked among the best performing councils in the UK for our work in combatting climate change by not-for-profit company Climate Emergency UK. Our ambitious Climate Action Strategy commits us to achieving net zero carbon emissions in our own operations by 2027. We also aim to become net zero across our investment and supply chain by 2040 - and to support the achievement of net zero for the whole Square Mile by the same year. Our first-of-its-kind Climate Action Dashboard uses independently verified data and gives a transparent public account of our progress in reducing carbon emissions and increasing climate resilience. This was a key tool in providing information to Climate Emergency UK. We have already cut our annual carbon emissions by 31%, and energy consumption by 21%, since 2018/2019 – and we only use 100% renewable electricity. Next month we'll publish updated figures for the financial year 2022/23. Read more here: rb.gy/9d5gy

Today kicks off Climate Week now through September 24! This annual event that brings together sustainability leaders from government, business, academia, and civil society from around the world. This year, the Climate Week theme is "We Can, We Will," which underscores that we have solutions available, such as renewable energy, to act on climate. At the same time, it emphasizes the urgent need to implement these solutions to rapidly transition to a clean energy future and continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

💡Energy production and use constitute a significant share of the European Union's #GreenhouseGas emissions. AT LAST is on a mission to decarbonise the EU's energy system ⚡🌱, a critical step toward achieving the 2030 climate objectives and the EU's goal of #CarbonNeutrality by 2050. 📌 Cities, recognised as vital actors in the global climate efforts, are at the heart of our project. By fostering collaboration, planning, and effective implementation, AT LAST is laying the groundwork for resilient and #ClimateNeutral cities, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. 🔗👉 https://lnkd.in/dEnqyy2d #ATLAST #EUClimateObjectives #SustainableCities #Energy4Europe #LIFEprojects

We're excited to share that the Science Based Targets initiative has approved our climate target! We aim to reduce our absolute greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations and value chain by 42 per cent by 2030, with 2022 as our baseline. As part of the Lindex Group, we share the common goal of reducing climate emissions across the Group. The SBTi's validation shows that Lindex Group's climate strategy and targets meet the Paris Agreement standards, proving they are backed by solid science. “SBTi's validation encourages us to continue accelerating climate actions while growing our business profitably and sustainably. The validation is an important milestone in our journey to reduce climate impacts and our systematic approach has already resulted in significant emission reductions. In 2023, we reduced Lindex Group's total greenhouse gas emissions by 11 per cent compared to 2022,” says our CEO Susanne Ehnbåge

Carbon credits are a powerful instrument for financing sustainable energy projects. But in 2016, 85% of projects examined by the European Commission were deemed unlikely to achieve their reduction claims. Building trust in the market is vital to achieving climate goals, here’s how we can do it: https://tce.buzz/3BaDn3E

TOMORROW 📅 Join experts including Braze's Lilian Liu, Sunrun's Sundance Banks, and Watershed climate advisor Millie Foakes for a live discussion and Q&A on building a strategy to hit your climate targets. We’ll dive deep into the best ways to lower and remove emissions, including groundbreaking projects in carbon removal, renewable energy, and sustainable aviation fuel.

💕Love is in the air, and so are greenhouse gas emissions🙅♀️. How is your company working to address its Net Zero targets? 🌳 At Treeconomy, we're eager to support your long-term climate strategy by providing access to high-quality carbon removal credits, all generated from projects screened and backed by our MRV. But we don’t stop there. We can offer flexible purchase options, such as innovative offtake agreements, to help you take action now. Securing your carbon credits ahead of time should be a consideration, as more corporations are seeking them. Read our latest blog on Offtake agreements to learn more about how you could benefit from these agreements link here - https://lnkd.in/ekYUuR4y

The experts agree, we need to dramatically increase #carbonremovals to be able to reach the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target. 🌍 We spoke to experts in the space about what is needed to scale up these technologies, including Sasha Mackler from Bipartisan Policy Center, Juho Lipponen from Clean Energy Ministerial, Chris Sherwood from Negative Emissions Platform, Nasim Pour from World Economic Forum, Kristin Jordal from Zero Emissions Platform, Paul Davies from Coalition for Negative Emissions, Elena Bonfiglio from ERCST - European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition and Beth Hebditch from Carbon Capture and Storage Association. 💬 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eUg7wPx2

With the energy transition currently underway, I have the opportunity to set the stage at the WSJ Pro Sustainable Business Forum and discuss how the energy industry is responding and innovating to realize a more sustainable world through more electrification and digitization. It’s my belief that progress can be made today to combat climate change and to be more sustainable which will benefit current and future generations to come. https://lnkd.in/gURmu4_Y
