…Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss are the two most intertwined risks of our time. Both are driven by human activities and interlinked through the Carbon Cycle. We are living in the era of human-induced Carbon Imbalance…
The article presents a comparative analysis of… different voluntary ESG or Nonfinancial reporting frameworks and standards, as introduced by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB), and Climate Disclosure Project (CDP)
Dr Hashmi Jamil Husain, Head of Biodiversity Corporate Sustainability TATA STEEL, presented at the ACSDRI’s International Conference on Sustainability on A Model Corporate Vision & Strategy to Protect Biodiversity in the context of Task Force on Nature Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD)
…only 33% of all countries could improve their respective SDG ranking in 2020; 6% could maintain their status quo, while 61% of all countries declined in their overall SDG ranking…
…the very idea of sustainability can, if only gradually, impact on the decision-making culture of an organization if given sufficient support from “above”..
Sustainable Development depends on the quality of natural resources and biodiversity to meet social and economic developmental needs.
The planet faces a plastic pollution crisis. It is estimated that only 9% of plastic produced has been recycled, with a massive 79% of the world's plastic ending up in landfills or the natural environment
Carbon Accounting – A step to combat Climate Change...The Paris Agreement is the first legally binding international treaty to limit the emission of greenhouse gases and to combat climate change...Sustainable finance embeds sustainability values and factors (environmental, social, and governance) in financial decision-making.
The five most prominent contemporary sustainability reporting or ESG frameworks and standards have been promulgated by:
The Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI);

Every year, the Philippines contributes an estimated 0.75 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic into the ocean, including nearly 60 billion sachets, 17.5 billion shopping bags, and 16.5 billion sandwich bags… The crisis in the Philippines is deeply complex and solutions are neither straightforward nor instant… One thing, however, is clear: environmentally and economically sustainable livelihood options are urgently needed for those living in poverty to survive and thrive… Dana Asia Ltd is a non-profit registered organization in Australia and the Philippines. It is working to develop sustainable solutions to social problems in some of Southeast Asia’s poorest communities.

Earth’s climate has gone through many roller coaster peaks and declines. However, about 7,000 to 5,000 years ago, the climate stabilized and over the past 7,000 years the earth’s temperature has only changed by 0.5 degree centigrade.
The Paris Agreement is the first legally binding international treaty, to limit emission of greenhouse gases and to combat climate change. Under this agreement, countries need to submit their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – a plan for climate action by 2020 and by 2024 counties need to establish an enhanced transparency framework (ETF) to report transparently on actions taken to advance climate change mitigation processes, on adaption measures and on support provided or received in relation to climate change.

Even though the sustainability agenda is acknowledged as important, we are failing to address certain issues urgently which are tipping the ecological balance of our planet. According to The Global Risks Report 2021, we are facing many risks over the time horizon, and some of the most key environmental, social, and economic risks.
…Contemporary Sustainability or ESG Frameworks…
With a growing regulatory shift towards non-financial disclosures, many voluntary non-financial reporting frameworks and standards have evolved over the years. The five most prominent contemporary sustainability reporting or ESG frameworks and standards have been promulgated by: The Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI), International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) or Integrated Reporting (IR), Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB), Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB).

In the global forums the Climate Change agenda has eclipsed the biodiversity loss issue. Both policy agendas are interlinked and need urgent actions. Simply put, human cannot survive without biodiversity. Animals and plants provide us with fresh water, food, and medicines. However, humans cannot get food, water, medicines from any single plant and animals, we need a collective diversity of plants and animals to gain all these benefits from nature. An estimate shows more than half of the world’s GDP, approximately $44 trillion of value added. Hence, our natural environment is fundamental to our economics, health, and climate change mitigation and adaptation plans. However, human economic activity is causing biodiversity loss at an unprecedented level… In this context Dr Hashmi Jamil Husain, Head of Biodiversity Corporate Sustainability TATA STEEL presented at the ACSDRI's International Conference on Sustainability on A Model Corporate Vision & Strategy to Protect Biodiversity in the context of Task Force on Nature Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD). #biodiversity #biodiversityloss #climatechange #sdg14 #biodiversitymatters #sdgs #sdg13 #TNFD
