Decoding the review of EU's Non-Financial Reporting DirectiveCDSB
Video: https://youtu.be/Y8lvZKmluMM
Companies in the European Union with over 500 employees are required to comply with the Non-Financial Reporting Directive and disclose non-financial information on environmental issues. However, reporting to date hasn’t been sufficient both in terms of quantity and quality, and the EU Green Deal has made it clear that environmental and climate disclosure must improve. As a result, the Commission is reviewing the Non-Financial Reporting Directive, with a public consultation underway until May 2020.
Should large companies and financial institutions expect major changes? Given the ambitious EU Green Deal commitments and the gaps in reporting to date, it certainly seems so.
CDSB's Managing Director, Mardi McBrien, EU Policy Officer at Frank Bold, Joanne Houston, and CDSB's Policy and External Affair Director, Michael Zimonyi, joined this special policy-driven webinar to address:
- what may likely change in terms of environmental and climate reporting;
- who may be affected and how;
- what didn’t work and why; and
- what needs to be improved for the Directive to deliver on its intended purpose.
Best practices for digital tool inclusiceness & farmer co-creation of practicesSadie W Shelton
OpenTEAM serves as a platform for dialogue. This series provides more in-depth information about organizations and companies within and outside of OpenTEAM that are working on similar topics around technology and regenerative agriculture.
Lini Wollenberg and their colleagues will present a set of proposed principles for the social inclusion of smallholder farmers in the development and use of digital tools. The guide is based on a synthesis of existing principles and standards, and gives special attention to farmer co-creation of agricultural practices as a gap in the literature. The principles are an output of the Inclusive Digital Tools Project and will be used to guide development of improved tools in action research conducted by the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT in Brazil for livestock and by IRRI in Vietnam for rice.

Brand Restart 2023: Graeme Murray - Greenwashing - too good to be true?Taste
Greenwashing is a global problem. It is so omnipresent that it is paralysing everybody. It penalizes people doing real important stuff, whilst favouring the people not doing really important stuff when it comes to ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) matters. Learn what greenwashing is, understand how greenwashing is linked to sustainability and purpose, see why companies engage in it, witness some examples, train yourself to spot greenwashing in action and consider the role you play in ensuring the brand you work on is both responsible and encouraging the right behaviours.
Bioeconomy is a major opportunity for regional and local communities.
Agricultural growth is central to poverty reduction in rural areas, and one opportunity for such growth lies in increasing exports of agricultural products from poor countries to global markets.
The potential of Indonesia to develop a bio-based economy based on local resources remains largely untapped.
The solution is to develop technology options or business models for local deployment.
Raising awareness activities, knowledge development (studies), clustering, and networking are needed to support new bio-based value chains and business models.

Harnessing VCMs for Agricultural Finance and Transitions - global stocktakeSadie W Shelton
Presented at the COP28 Food & Agriculture Pavilion on Dec 4, 2023, by Lini Wollenberg (Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT, & Gund Institute at University of Vermont).
Watch the recording: https://www.youtube.com/live/EnCPz3OaCPM?feature=shared
This COP28 event presented the first global stocktake of carbon payments and the voluntary carbon market (VCM) in agriculture. It showcased how VCMs can help low- and middle-income countries fund food system transformations for security, resilience, and reduced emissions. Panelists shared their diverse experiences and strategies, fostering dialogue on financing large-scale transformative solutions at the national level.
The event aimed to better understand the agriculture sector's involvement in the voluntary carbon market and generate insights into what more can be done to support scaling the VCM, especially for the benefit of smallholder farmers. The discussion may also inform negotiations around the linkages between the VCM and emerging Article 6 implementation.
This work was undertaken by Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT & University of Vermont scientists in collaboration with Unique Land Use and support from FAO.

This presentation was given by Lini Wollenberg, Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT and the Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont, on 11 November 2022 at COP27. The event, CompensACTION: Making compensation mechanisms work for small-scale agricultural producers, was hosted at the Food Systems Pavilion and organized by Clim-EAT.
The G7 Food Security Working Group believes that agricultural producers, especially smallholders in developing countries, should receive adequate compensation for their services. This means creating incentive systems that complement revenues from market prices with compensation for generating positive externalities.

Scaling good agricultural practices through business modellingSadie W Shelton
This presentation was given by Jaclyn Bolt (Digital Agri Hub Wageningen University & Research), at the GDDF 2022 Side Session: Farmer co-design of climate change solution, on May 5, 2022. The interactive session introduced the research of the new Agroecological TRANSITIONS Inclusive Digital Tools (ATDT) project.
In this interactive session, we explored how well digital solutions are enabling farmer co-design of solutions for climate change mitigation and resilience. We looked at types of options available and state-of-the-art innovations and explore options for best practices, and consider farmer-to-farmer exchange, information hubs accessible to farmers, and farmer-advisor linkages and trade-offs of non-digital options.
Panelists assessed what more can be done digitally and how to sustain efforts through effective business models for co-design resources.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
