Reflections are only that, reflections, nothing more nothing less. Often these reflections are related to books I read, but occasionally also other things. These are often written very late, very fast, using notes from my mobile phone, so the grammar and spelling is horrible.
Almost five years ago "Saving the climate @ the speed of light- First roadmap for reduced CO2 in the EU and beyond" was published. This week the commission took another step in the right direction. Still no real strategy is in place (but parts of a strategy are emerging).
Hopefully it will not take another five years before cities are given a key role
One year later (it is actually not even a year ago) and a process with transformative results the report, "Industrial biotechnology -More than green fuel in a dirty economy?"done as part of the collaboration between WWF and Novozymes is public. It has already begun to change the way decision makers approach biotech. Download the report here [6.4 Meg].
Apple still focus on the 2% (IT's own emissions) and not the 98% (The reductions that IT can help contribute to through smart use, e.g. teleworking, smart buildings, dematerialization).... The day Apple wake up to the 98% opportunity things might really change.
Almost five years since the first "21st Century Companies"-report in the BRICS. Here is a summary of those done so far (download the report here 1 meg).... Soon time for an update, this time with more focus on innovation. Maybe Mexico and South Korea would be interesting to include as there is significant innovation taking place there.
Will explore how equity and environmental sustainability can be linked to the health/lifestyle related tools that are emerging. Consumption and food habits can become more transparent in a way that could help support transformative solutions. The transparency is also interesting in the Nike+ idea itself. How are the people treated that are making the shoes and technology needed?
