The Environmental Tech Lab (ETL)—a public-private initiative of the Partnership Fund for New York City and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) —launched the second year of the Environmental Tech Lab’s annual competition, calling for tech-driven approaches to support DEP’s objectives in resilience and data management & governance. Applications for the Resilience Challenge and Data Management & Governance Challenge are due August 1, 2024. Visit the Environmental Tech Lab website for more information about the Challenges and applications. The ETL identifies innovative technology solutions from the global tech sector to address the challenges of managing and maintaining the city’s water and wastewater network. The ETL identifies, evaluates, and tests technologies developed by early- and growth-stage companies. #water #innovation #watertech #resilience

Do you have a data management or resilience tech solution? Applications for the Environmental Tech Lab are open! Information session June 27th. This partnership with NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) focuses on two challenges: Resilience: How can DEP enhance climate resiliency goals including carbon reduction actions, noise/air/water compliance initiatives, flooding mitigations, and water conservation strategies? Data Management & Governance: How can DEP integrate and analyze disparate data sets to drive business strategies, deliver capital construction projects, optimize critical data models, and better protect people and infrastructure? #resilience #datamanagement #innovation

Wastewater decarbonisation is a priority for Aotearoa New Zealand as we navigate the growing pressures on our infrastructure, driven by population growth, the need to revitalise aging assets, climate change and evolving regulations in the water sector. As we look to the future, addressing these challenges with sustainable solutions becomes more important than ever. At the upcoming Water New Zealand Conference next week, Ian Ho will dive into how wastewater decarbonisation is being integrated at various stages and scales of projects. He will share real-world examples from various regions where GHD operates, highlighting key lessons learned that can help shape the future of similar initiatives. Whether you're involved in early-stage project planning or overseeing complex projects/developments, Ian’s insights will provide practical takeaways on how to advance decarbonisation efforts across the wastewater sector 💧 #WaterNZConference #Decarbonisation

Today is World Ocean Day, and we celebrate the incredible role our oceans play in sustaining life on Earth. As an example, blue carbon ecosystems, cover just 0.5% of the sea floor, yet store up to five times more carbon per area than tropical forests and sequester carbon three times as fast. They may account for over half of all carbon buried in marine sediments. In honour of World Ocean Day, we remind you that the public consultation for our new Blue Carbon and Freshwater Wetlands activity requirements ends on 13 June 2024. These guidelines will pave the way for projects to achieve Design and Performance Certification, complete with the issuance of Certified SDG Impact Statements and Products. We need your input. Your feedback can drive meaningful change. The consultation period ends on 13 June 2024. 🔗 Give feedback and read the full draft here: https://lnkd.in/eWmV-5BC #WorldOceanDay #BlueCarbon #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #PublicConsultation

🔬CARBON CREDIBLE//Wagners CFT's new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides customers with credible environmental information about our products that has been independently verified and is internationally recognised. EPD's give asset owners the tools to be able to calculate the environmental impact of a project and contribute toward decarbonization in construction by choosing to use products with reduced embodied carbon; while at the same time meeting 2030 targets 📉♻️ For a copy of Wagners CFT's new EPD visit 👉https://ow.ly/OvCZ50QXlqw To watch a webinar and understand how to use the EPD 👉https://ow.ly/7AWo50QXlqB 📷 - Wagners CFT has been helping arrest declining numbers of eastern osprey in South Australia through the construction and installation of raised artificial nest platforms.

Politicians are running a mile from a controversial carbon project that Gina Rinehart wants stopped https://ab.co/4bCXoR1 Landcare NSW is interested in the controversial carbon capture and storage (CCS) project primarily due to its potential environmental impacts, particularly on the Great Artesian Basin, Australia's largest groundwater resource. The project, which involves capturing and liquefying CO2 from a coal-fired power station and injecting it into the aquifer, has drawn significant opposition from various stakeholders, including farmers and environmentalists. Given the basin's crucial role in supporting agriculture and providing drinking water, the Landcare community is concerned about the risks this project could pose to water quality and availability. Additionally, the legal and political controversies surrounding the project's approval process and its location might further motivate Landcares' interest, emphasising the need for thorough environmental assessments and responsible management of natural resources.
