🌍 International Day of Peace: Cultivating a Culture of Peace 🌍 This 21st September, we join the global community in recognising the International Day of Peace, as declared by the United Nations, celebrating 25 years since the declaration of the International Day of Peace. The 2024 theme, “Cultivating a Culture of Peace,” reminds us that peace is more than the absence of conflict. It’s a proactive effort, requiring respect, cooperation, and dialogue, and harmony—not just among people but with our planet too. 🌱 At Everdurance, we take action by prioritising sustainable products like carton water from Radnor and Water Works 💧, reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. ✨ Do you want to be part of this? ☘ Support eco-friendly choices to reduce environmental stress. ☘ Promote dialogue and understanding in your community. This International Day of Peace, let’s take steps, however small, towards building a future that’s fair, sustainable, and harmonious for all. 🌿 #InternationalDayOfPeace #CultureOfPeace #Sustainability #Everdurance #Radnor #WaterWorks

We are in the Ocean Decade, an opportunity to recognise the role our ocean plays in creating an equitable and sustainable planet whilst unlocking innovative developments for ocean science. I was pleased to read the Barcelona Statement released following the United Nations Ocean Decade Conference. While it is clear there are still challenges to overcome, the announcements and commitments made during the conference demonstrate the progress this dedicated community can make when we unite behind our shared mission to address the urgent need to restore our ocean. The inclusion of future priorities for ocean knowledge and science was particularly encouraging. Not only could these areas be fulfilled by the Ocean Decade framework, but I would also urge fellow business and sustainability leaders to consider how these priorities correlate with – or even contradict – their own strategies. With DP World due to publish its Ocean Strategy, the outcomes of the Ocean Decade Conference are a reminder of the interconnectedness between the ocean, our everyday lives and business – particularly in a changing environment – and the importance of enacting sustainable change. #OceanDecade

Reimagining American industry in a carbon-free world:

And since even humans and dinosaurs are "carbon-based life forms" .... it's not really a "carbon-free" world. Our planet will *never* become "carbon-free" ... even if it becomes totally lifeless .... the carbon will remain.

“We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land.” It’s United Nations World Environment Day today 🌍🌿, and this year the theme is "Generation Restoration" 🌱. We want to be part of this generation. That’s why at Sappi Europe we don’t just contribute to the creation of a bio-based circular economy through making recyclable, fibre-based products, we also ensure that our woodfibre is certified and sourced from sustainably managed forests. Here and across the world we actively promote land restoration, biodiversity conservation and responsible water stewardship. We are in business to make what we should, not just what we can, and that means satisfying today’s needs without compromising tomorrow’s prospects. It means joining the generation that can make peace with the land. What else can we all do to be part of Generation Restoration? 🌱 Read more about Sappi's progress towards our 2025 sustainability targets here: #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay #CircularEconomy

Take your chance and register for free for the conference! In my talk in Session 6 I will discuss how "Knowledge exchange between science and society is key to an improved societal use of research results on our way towards sustainable development" and illustrate it with our work on the Chinese island of Hainan.

OPIS recently dedicated its efforts to commemorate #EarthDay throughout the month by curating a series of content focused on exploring developments in key #EnvironmentalMarkets and highlighting initiatives driving #sustainability across industries. Our commitment to providing insights and analysis on the latest trends shaping #carbon and #climate markets globally remains steadfast.

It's always so inspiring to see people and companies innovate for the circular economy. This video from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation inspires me. We need more of these out-of-the-box thinkers, and those who challenge the norm. At #UPM we renew with courage, and we aim higher. The world needs responsible solutions. Together, we will create a future beyond fossils. #UPM #UPMRaflatac #beyondfossils #circulareconomy #sustainablepackaging
