This high-level webinar, hosted by Martin Porter (CISL Brussels), will react to the Circular Economy Package I (March 30th release). Topics include the Sustainable Products Initiative, Textile Strategy, Right to Repair, and Construction.

Speakers feature European policymakers, industry experts, and CLG Europe’s Taskforce members, including Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius and MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen. It will analyze the EC's approach to the package and discuss systematic circular design solutions.

The event aims to foster stakeholder dialogue on the legislative package, covering various pieces of legislation. Ultimately, it seeks to accelerate the EU's climate-neutral and circular economy transition.

The circular economy represents a fundamental shift from a "take, make, waste" model to one that eliminates waste, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. This systemic transformation, requiring new designs, business models, and regulations, offers significant opportunities. Join us from The Roundhouse, London, to explore leading circular economy companies and key actors accelerating this transition.

Burmese pythons are a highly destructive invasive species in Florida, severely impacting the Everglades and its native wildlife. These giant constrictors outcompete local animals, potentially contributing to the extinction of several mammal and bird species.

However, new remote camera footage offers a glimmer of hope. It shows a bobcat consuming as many as 42 python eggs, with evidence of more being saved for later. The camera even captured a direct confrontation between the bobcat and the nesting python.

This discovery prompts a crucial question: Could Florida's native predators, like bobcats, become a vital force in controlling the invasive python population in the Everglades?

Stella Young, a comedian and journalist, uses a wheelchair but rejects being an automatic inspiration. She clarifies that her disability does not inherently make her a noble figure for humanity.

In her very funny TED talk from June 2014, Young critiques society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn."

This video captures a quiet evening at Thacker Pass, where the only sounds were a frog, the creek, and birds. Such stillness and peace are invaluable, representing something money cannot buy.

However, this tranquility is threatened by impending bulldozers. To oppose this destruction, please visit protectthackerpass.org to sign up for email updates and prepare for what's ahead.

In the interim, make phone calls and share this information to raise awareness. Thank you. #ProtectThackerPass #ProtectPeeheeMuhuh

On November 4, 2021, at COP26 in Glasgow, ClimateWise and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) launched "Risk Sharing in the Climate Emergency." The event convened senior representatives from insurance, regulators, and governments to discuss their collective roles in addressing the global climate challenge.

The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and ClimateWise, working with industry and policymakers, presented actionable recommendations. These aim to urgently expand risk sharing and insurance systems, providing a pathway to immediately quantify, manage, and reduce climate risks.

The recommendations also advocate for integrating climate policy and regulation. This ensures finance supports a resilient, net-zero, and just transition for all economies, both emerging and developed.

The environmental impact of beef production, from emissions to land use, is a critical concern, with solutions like regenerative grazing and grass-fed beef under debate. However, defining truly sustainable beef, especially given high U.S. consumption and its ecological implications, remains complex.

Experts Tara Garnett (University of Oxford, Table), Nicholas Carter (ecologist, PlantBasedData.org), and Chris Bugbee (Center for Biological Diversity) will explore these challenges. They will discuss food systems, wildlife interaction, and land stewardship. Discover more at GrazingFacts.com and join our webinar on April 7 at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern.
