🌍 Today, 22 April, is #EarthDay, an annual reminder to protect the natural world we depend on. 📣 The first Earth Day, which was held in the U.S. in 1970, mobilised 20 million people and is often seen as one of the most influential moments of the modern environmental movement, and helped lay the groundwork for environmental legislation across the world. 🔎 This year’s focus is on “Planet vs. Plastics”, and the impact of plastics on human health and on the planet’s ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate change. 📈 To ensure plastics manufacturing industries, which are among the highest carbon emitters due to their reliance on fossil fuels, transition towards more sustainable, net-zero practices, sustainable investment matters. 📌 According to the EU Commission, the EU alone currently has an investment gap of €660 billion (1.5% of the EU GDP) to achieve the EU’s 2040 climate targets. Private investments will have to form a significant part of this effort. 📌Eurosif - the European Sustainable Investment Forum and its members are at the forefront of promoting sustainable investments across Europe. We are committed to the growth and integrity of meaningful sustainable investment flows and support the ambition of European policymakers in enabling a fully transparent sustainable investment market through appropriate and well-designed regulation and industry practice.
