Our inspiring partner, Fjordkraft, has recently launched an innovative climate calculator designed to help customers understand their carbon footprint and effective measures to take 👣🌍 An important step to help their customers take data-driven climate action! 💪🏼 ⚡️ For several years, we’ve been honoured to collaborate closely with Fjordkraft - a true pioneer in guiding consumers towards more sustainable electricity usage. 💡 Furthermore, Fjordkraft leverages our 'Change' endpoint in their calculator, offering users tailored tips to reduce their climate footprint based on their energy consumption. It represents an innovative and personalised approach to fostering impactful sustainability actions. 🤓 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Imagine if Fjordkraft inspires you to lower your indoor temperature by 2 degrees for one year. This simple act could cut your annual carbon footprint by nearly 410 kg CO2e. If 5% of Norway's population were to do the same, the collective savings would amount to over 114 million kg CO2e. This represents a significant reduction in Norway's total consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions! In other words, we applaud Fjordkraft's fantastic initiative to help Norwegians reduce their energy usage - as you can see, every little bit helps! You can find it on their website - check it out!

Title: Navigating the Climate Crisis: Sustainable Solutions for a Greener Future Climate change stands as one of the most pressing challenges of our time, demanding urgent and concerted action from individuals, communities, governments, and businesses alike. As temperatures rise, sea levels surge, and extreme weather events become more frequent, the imperative to embrace sustainability has never been clearer. In the face of this crisis, a plethora of innovative and holistic solutions are emerging, offering hope for a more sustainable future. From renewable energy to reforestation efforts, the pathway to combating climate change is multifaceted and requires collaboration across sectors. One of the most prominent pillars of sustainability is the transition to renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and hydropower offer clean alternatives to fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impact of climate change. Investments in renewable energy infrastructure not only curb carbon emissions but also stimulate economic growth and create jobs in burgeoning industries. Moreover, sustainable agriculture practices play a pivotal role in climate resilience. By implementing regenerative farming techniques, such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and agroforestry, farmers can sequester carbon in the soil, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity. Additionally, transitioning to plant-based diets and reducing food waste can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our food systems. Cities are at the forefront of sustainability efforts, pioneering initiatives to build greener, more resilient urban environments. From expanding public transportation networks to implementing green building standards, urban planners are reimagining cities as hubs of sustainability. Furthermore, initiatives such as urban farming, green spaces, and sustainable water management contribute to mitigating the urban heat island effect and enhancing quality of life for residents. Beyond technological innovations, fostering a culture of sustainability is paramount to effecting meaningful change. Education and awareness campaigns empower individuals to make informed choices and adopt sustainable lifestyles. From reducing single-use plastics to conserving water and energy, small everyday actions can collectively make a significant impact on the environment. However, addressing climate change requires collective action on a global scale. International cooperation and multilateral agreements are essential to tackling this planetary challenge. The Paris Agreement, despite its limitations, represents a significant step forward in mobilizing global efforts to limit temperature rise and adapt to the impacts of climate change. In conclusion, while the challenges posed by climate change are daunting, the solutions are within reach. By embracing sustainability in all

Based on 3,524 companies assessed in the 2023 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), companies across sectors focus less on physical climate risk adaptation than on reducing emissions. Nature-based Solutions can play a larger role in corporate decarbonization and climate adaptation strategies. Read the full research article: https://ow.ly/kgRR50R5Ehc

Hawkesworth are delighted to announce our partnership with neutral carbon zone♻️   This collaboration marks the start of our journey to #NetZero.   🌱 NCZ will independently measure, quantify, and report on all our scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions to ISO 14064 compliance. 🌱 Using this as a baseline, they’ll compile our organisational and operational carbon footprint report.  🌱 From which, we’ll establish targeted carbon reduction measures to address our full emissions breakdown and track our progress.   Following this, we’ll be able to clearly map our journey to net zero, demonstrating our commitment to responsible business practices along the way ♻️ We all need to do our bit to tackle climate change 🌍   #Sustainability #GreenerTogether

Developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure is key to supporting sustainable and resilient communities.

Crafting a wholistic sustainability strategy takes time and expertise, and today is essential for every forward thinking business. In order to take measurable sustainability gains, you should be aware of your company’s impacts, emissions, and what can be done about them. Then, you can translate this into real, measurable climate impact like carbon removal. This is often referred to in the steps ‘measure, reduce, and remove,’ and forms the basis for a solid decarbonisation strategy. But, these steps requite some important consideration before you get going. Do you have what you need to get started? 🖇 Follow along our in our Five Step Guide on Calculating Carbon Emissions to read more: https://lnkd.in/d6mAVBur
