«We encourage all companies to sign up to the Call to Action by 1 September 2020. By doing so, your company name will be on the list of signatories that we'll announce during the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly in September.  We'll also use the momentum created from the Call to Action at several other biodiversity events happening in September, including the UN Biodiversity Summit happening on 30 September.  

If you can't sign the Call to Action by 1 September, we will continue to welcome new signatories after this date.  An updated list of signatories will be shared and promoted as part of our ongoing policy outreach at the meetings of the UN Convention on Biodiversity in November 2020.

FOR NATURE
FOR US

Humanity's relationship with nature is broken. The fact that we are in a global pandemic is proof of that. And if we continue to destroy the natural world, we will see more outbreaks like COVID-19, and the next pandemic could be even more deadly and costly.

There are direct links between what we do to nature and the emergence of infectious diseases. We need to change how we are consuming wild animals, how we are producing food, and how we are using land.

Take action today. Send a message to Congress and the State Department asking them to take the necessary steps to help prevent future pandemics.

«A circular economy can boost economic and social prosperity within planetary boundaries. Oslo wants to be a frontrunner in reducing climate impact and material footprint, scaling up circular innovation and making it easier for consumers to make circular choices. This report provides an important measurement of circularity in Norway and shows us how to close the Circularity Gap through close collaboration between national and local governments, businesses and citizens».Raymond Johansen

«The 2020 Sustainability Leaders?

 

Disponível aqui

«Introduction

The GlobeScan / SustainAbility Leaders Survey has tracked global expert opinion on the evolution of the sustainability agenda alongside the companies and organizations experts perceive to be leaders since 1997.

In 2020, we collected responses between May and July as the global community was battling one of the worst public health crises in decades, the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to asking the regular tracking questions we include each year, we also took the opportunity to ask questions about COVID-19 that would let us gauge expert opinion on how this unprecedented crisis may impact the sustainability agenda and leadership action.

 More than 700 experts in 71 countries responded to the 2020 Leaders Survey this year. Unilever, Patagonia and IKEA once again have emerged as the most frequently recognized corporate leaders. For the tenth consecutive year, Unilever tops the ranking, recognized by 42 percent of respondents. Patagonia is in second place with 26 percent, while IKEA ranks third at 14 percent. Interface sits in the fourth position at 8 percent, continuing its run as the only company recognized in the top cohort of leaders in the 23 years this survey has taken place. 

An exciting development this year is the entrance of four new companies: Microsoft, Ørsted, L’Oreal and Tata. US-based tech giant Microsoft and Denmark’s leading energy company Ørsted have been gaining particular recognition for their climate efforts. Meanwhile, India-based conglomerate Tata is establishing itself as a sustainability frontrunner in South Asia and joins Brazil-based Natura &Co as the second company not based in Europe or North America to be recognized in this select group.

«Material Ecology»

 

«From tree bark and crustacean shells to silkworm webs and human breath, nature shapes Neri Oxman’s innovative design and production processes. As a designer, architect, and founding director of The Mediated Matter Group at the MIT Media Lab, Oxman has developed not only new ways of thinking about materials, objects, buildings, and construction methods, but also new frameworks for interdisciplinary—and even interspecies—collaborations. Her pioneering approach, which she calls “material ecology,” brings together materials science, digital fabrication technologies, and organic design, to create new possibilities for the future. While individually these works are beautiful and revolutionary, together they put forward a new philosophy of designing, making—and even unmaking—the world around us.

 

This exhibition is currently being presented here as part of our Virtual Views series, as we “museum from home.” Hear directly from Neri Oxman and MoMA’s Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, and Director of Research and Development, during a live Q&A, and experience Oxman’s work through video, audio features, interviews, and more».
