GEORGE MONBIOT|«|Regenesis»

 


SINOPSE
Pela primeira vez em milhões de anos, temos a oportunidade de mudar por completo o nosso sistema alimentar e a nossa relação com a natureza. Ler este livro é dizer: o futuro começa hoje.
Sim, todos sabemos: a agricultura e a pecuária são, hoje, as principais causas de poluição e destruição ambiental no mundo. Mas não, não se fala muito sobre isso. É comum dizermos que a construção toma conta de demasiado espaço, mas, na verdade, aqueles setores ocupam uma superfície trinta vezes maior. Enquanto aramos a terra e a cultivamos desmedidamente, enquanto o solo é extensivamente usado para pastagem, derrubamos florestas, extinguimos vida selvagem e envenenamos rios e oceanos - tudo para nos alimentarmos.
Escrito por um dos maiores nomes mundiais na luta por uma vida mais sustentável e pela preservação do planeta, Regenesis apresenta-nos um plano para resolvermos um dos maiores problemas atuais da humanidade: podemos mudar a forma como comemos e conseguir alimentar o mundo sem devorar o planeta.
Com base nos mais recentes resultados da investigação ecológica dos solos, George Monbiot é claro: temos, agora, informação que nos permite cultivar mais alimentos e reduzir, simultaneamente, a exploração agrícola - basta ver, entre os muitos exemplos, o caso dos cereais perenes, que libertam a terra da constante produção e do uso de químicos tóxicos.
A era da extinção, que todos estamos a alimentar, pode mesmo tornar-se a era da regeneração. E o caminho começa hoje, neste livro. Saiba mais.

«Creating NEBourhoods Together aims to make living and working in the city sustainable, socially just and environmentally friendly. As one of the European Unions's six European Lighthouse Demonstrators, we are testing new methods and innovative solutions in Munich-Neuperlach for transforming existing urban spaces. A spirit of neighbourhood community and a respectful use of our planet's resources are at the heart of our mission. We are re-establishing connections between people, buildings and public spaces and nature. Circular thinking and collective action are critical components of these sustainable transformations in daily life and in construction.

Creating NEBourhoods Together acts as an international network and creates a model for other cities to follow in spreading the goals and spirit of the New European Bauhaus throughout the world: beautiful, sustainable, inclusive». Continue.

«The Nordic Green Roadmap for Cultural Institutions is the outcome of the project: Sustainable Cultural Experiences in the Nordic Region, which is led by The Nordic House in the Faroe Islands as part of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Sustainable Living programme (2021–24).

NA COP 28 | a «fashion industry»

 



Destaquemos:



Ainda:



De lá: «A indústria da moda é uma das mais poluentes do mundo. Emite mais carbono do que as indústrias da aviação e do transporte marítimo juntas. A estilista Stella McCartney foi à Cimeira do Clima exigir aos políticos que tomem medidas urgentes».



«Supporting high-quality ESRS implementation»

 


Atentemos nisto:

«The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) will be effective on 1 January 2024 starting with the first companies in scope. The ESRS guide how companies report information under the CSRD. They introduce many new concepts and first-time requirements which will challenge stakeholders in the corporate reporting ecosystem».

Nada contra estas iniciativas, antes pelo contrário, mas sempre nos levam a esta interrogação: O QUE É FEITO DO «RELATÓRIO INTEGRADO»? OU «ÚNICO». Será que o «reporting» no seu todo está presente? E daí, por exemplo, tirado do site IR isto:

 «Thank you to all who attended the Integrated Thinking & Reporting Conference in person and online. If you missed it, you can watch the recorded sessions on demand. The next Integrated Thinking & Reporting Conference is tentatively planned for May 2024». saiba mais.

e, uma vez mais, isto:

"One Report" refers to an emerging trend in business taking place throughout the world where companies are going beyond separate reports for financial and nonfinancial (e.g., corporate social responsibility or sustainability) results and integrating both into a single integrated report. At the same time, they are also leveraging the Internet to provide more detailed results to all of their stakeholders and for improving their level of dialogue and engagement with them. Providing best practice examples from companies around the world, One Report shows how integrated reporting adds tremendous value to the company and all of its stakeholders, including shareholders, and also ultimately contributes to a sustainable society.

  • Focuses on the emerging trend of integrated reporting as a top priority for companies, investors, regulators, auditors and civil society
  • Provides compelling case studies from some of the world's leading companies doing integrated reporting
  • Addresses how companies can move toward One Report and how it can become a keystone of a sustainable strategy for both the company and society
  • Explains what others-such as analysts, shareholders, other stakeholders, auditors, regulators, legislators, and civil society-need to do to enable the rapid and broad adoption of One Report

Filled with case studies and the most current trends on integrated reporting, this book is an invaluable guidebook on the future of reporting and how this future can lead to a sustainable society».
