Access to safe drinking water is fundamental for good health, productivity, and overall development. In Haiti, where only 4 out of 10 people in rural areas have access to clean water, IFC and The World Bank Group's IDA Private Sector Window are working to change this narrative. A $5 million partnership with the Caribbean Bottling Company, Haiti's oldest provider of potable water, will help increase production capacity and provide 110 million more liters of safe water annually.

Only one in three companies are on track to meet their emissions reduction targets, with Europe leading with 46% of companies on track, followed by North America and Asia, with 33% and 32%, respectively. The data are based on disclosures by more than 6,800 companies to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which oversees a global system for environmental reporting. The CDP 2025 Corporate Health Check also found that companies and industries varied widely in their success at balancing growth with emissions cuts, according to Trellis. Industries that performed well include transport, apparel and services, while the fossil fuel, power generation, and materials sectors saw lackluster performance in terms of both their emissions and financial results. Various factors accounted for the gap: Consumer preferences likely pushed garment companies towards greater sustainability, while government subsidies for electric vehicles have rewarded companies that make EVs and lead on climate.

The global carbon credit market is set to grow rapidly in coming years as companies come under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, CarbonCredits.com predicted. Despite that 2024 saw stagnating demand and falling carbon prices, the website cited a report by MSCI to project that the global market will reach between $7 billion and $35 billion by 2030 and up to $250 billion by 2050. The site gave several reasons for the expected increase in demand, including a 65% increase in the number of companies (over 2,700) setting science-based climate targets from 2023; policy improvements and new standards that should improve the quality of carbon projects and alleviate distrust in the market; and a ramping up of efforts by companies to meet their 2030 emissions-reduction targets. (Several main net-zero standards stipulate that companies cannot use carbon credits to achieve interim targets, however.)

Intensive livestock production generates almost one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, occupies three-quarters of agricultural land, and is the largest driver of deforestation and land conversion. But funding to address sustainability issues in the industry lags far behind that made in other sectors. A recent report by FAIRR, an investor network focusing on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks facing the global food sector, promotes 22 possible interventions to address climate and nature risks linked to the livestock industry. The report argues that nature-based solutions offer more longer-term benefits than tech solutions for reducing animal agriculture’s environmental impact—but notes that the former remain underutilized and underfunded. Read about the promise of nature-based solutions, from biochar to enhanced rock weathering in this summary about FAIIR's latest report: https://lnkd.in/esJnfG_z Or read the original report here: https://lnkd.in/eJ66-Kam
