On a global perspective, SDG 6 is a driver not only for health and the environment, but also for economic growth. #EUGreenWeek EU Environment and Climate Svenskt Vatten Pär Dalhielm But even in EU/EFTA, SDG6 is not fully achieved. And with the added challenges of climate change, security issues and the newly revised Drinking Water Directive and the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, then more or less every country has a costly journey ahead of them to make water access a reality for all.

Understanding CBAM: CBAM aims to level the playing field by imposing a carbon price on imports from countries with less stringent climate policies. This ensures that domestic businesses committed to reducing their carbon footprint are not disadvantaged by cheaper, high-carbon imports.
As the world moves towards more sustainable practices, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is gaining traction as a key tool in combating climate change. By aligning trade policies with environmental goals, CBAM encourages global industries to adopt greener practices and helps drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. Stay informed and engaged as we navigate this evolving landscape of climate policy. Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet's future. #sustainability #CBAM #carbontax #carbonpricing

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” (Thomas Fuller) Water and Travel are directly related. Let's not wait until the well is dry.
Yes, what if..... we simply commit to water as an opportunity to act more sustainably? Make it a habit to focus on SDG6 and nurture awareness and knowledge around all things water. It is much easier to build good habits if you have an anchor to hold on to. So let water become the anchor for your sustainable contributions. Water is related to everything else. #WaterWiseEU #FrauBlau #SDG6 #SDG14
🌍 40% of people worldwide already feel the effects of water scarcity. The European Commission Directorates-General for Environment (DG ENV) has launched the campaign #WaterWiseEU 💧 to raise awareness about the critical water issues and increasing stress placed on Europe's water systems. Together with our customers, our partners and colleagues, we can work to transform how we manage, use and value water. This is a call to action to see water differently and act to create a better more sustainable future together.🌱 EU Environment and Climate

The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications has released a pivotal report, 'Climate Conversations 2023 – From Individual Action to Collective Engagement.' A comprehensive study that sheds light on the "attitude behaviour gap," revealing both the challenges and opportunities in our journey towards a sustainable future. 📈 Key Insights for Solar Energy: ▪ Growing Interest in Solar Panels: The report indicates a strong public intention to invest in solar panels, demonstrating readiness for significant climate actions. ▪ Community Adoption: Visible enthusiasm for solar solutions across Ireland, with communities increasingly installing solar panels on their roofs. ▪ Inspirational Case Studies: Initiatives like Dingle Peninsula 2030 showcase successful community-driven approaches to renewable energy adoption, including solar projects. 🔑 Overcoming Barriers: ▪ Financial Incentives: Addressing cost concerns and providing clear information on payback. ▪ Guidance: Offering resources and support to help individuals and communities start their retrofitting journey. ▪ Community Engagement: Ensuring that the benefits of solar energy are clearly communicated and accessible to all. At ISEA, we believe that together, we can accelerate the adoption of solar energy and drive meaningful climate action. Let's harness the power of the sun and pave the way for a brighter, greener future! 🌍💡 #SolarEnergy #ClimateAction #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ISEA #GreenFuture #CommunityEngagement #Ireland
The government has published a new report identifying barriers to climate action. The report, 'Climate Conversations 2023 – From Individual Action to Collective Engagement', builds on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland's ‘Climate Change in the Irish Mind’ study. It highlights that while awareness of climate change is high, there is still a challenge in fostering a sense of urgency and understanding individual impacts. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eFk7ftRN

Director at Inland Fisheries Ireland ★ Environmental & Geospatial Scientist ★ Sustainability & Climate Action Advocate
Collaboration, cooperation and partnerships will be a critical component of our shared successes as we tackle broad sustainability challenges related to water management in a changing climate. Thanks to An Fóram Uisce for the invitation to join colleagues from OPW, Uisce Eireann, EPA, CARO and LAWPRO in a panel discussion addressing agency perspectives on taking a catchment-based approach to climate change adaptation during their excellent conference on Wednesday entitled 'Managing Ireland's Water in a Changing Climate'. Lots of collaborative work is already underway - plenty of scope for more in order to 'scale up' joint action in response to our collective climate and water challenges. #ClimateAdaptation #Sustainability #ClimateAction

A changing climate has a real and measurable impact on Manitoba businesses. From production losses due to extreme weather events to disruptive market trends. However, climate change can also present new market opportunities, for example consumer preferences for low-carbon products and services. In today’s marketplace, climate action and sustainability are increasingly seen as drivers of economic competitiveness. Manitoba businesses are actively enhancing climate resilience and reducing carbon emissions through various initiatives. That’s why the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce in collaboration with Novel Futures Corporation, the International Institute for Sustainable Development, and the Manitoba Environmental Industries Association, and with support from the Government of Manitoba’s Conservation and Climate Fund came up with the CLIMATE ACTION TOOLKIT FOR MANITOBA BUSINESS.
