📌 How To Prioritize Sustainability In Your Startup 🌱🌿

⚙️ “Some might believe that it is only the large, multinational corporations that are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The reasoning is that they are large and therefore contribute more emissions through their operations.

They are definitely an important part of the equation, but I would argue that startups can also set a foundation today for who they are, what they stand for and how they can also be key players in the fight against climate change. I believe these are players that can help evoke real change for our future.”

👉 Today we want to share this article from Forbes that perfectly fits with our project goals.

📌 Entreprises’ environmental #resilience and #innovation

⚙️ “Resilience is a term used within the business community and academia, often with various meanings. It commonly refers to the ability to bounce back and return to a previous state after a disturbance. In the context of enterprises, the term describes the ability to maintain core capabilities, identity and structure, and the capacity for agile transformation. […] How can an enterprise not only survive but also evolve and thrive during times of crises and disruptive changes? What is the role of technology (including digitalization, cloud, telepresence solutions and mobile connectivity such as 5G) and society in this context? How do enterprises relate to sustainability within a resilience framework? What are the differences between resilience and sustainability and why are they important?”

📌 European startups using #blockchain to benefit the planet

💻 “Blockchain continues to be a hot topic and it’s being increasingly used by businesses as a secure way to make transactions and transfers securely and cost-effectively. As the technology develops, and new applications and platforms arise, there is growing awareness about the implications that blockchain can have for the planet. While blockchain has taken quite a bit of heat on the sustainability front – particularly for its energy-intensive nature due to its “proof-of-work” mechanism – it does have the potential to positively impact our planet. If harnessed correctly, blockchain can actually enable a shift to cleaner and more resource-preserving, decentralized solutions. In the process, it can unlock natural capital and empower communities.”

📌 Trade in 25 technologies can help climate action. What’s needed to make it happen?

📱 “Recent extreme weather events are a painful reminder of the urgent need for climate action. Energy security concerns have also increased the need for change. We have less than a decade to cut emissions in half to stay on track with the 1.5°C warming threshold of the Paris Agreement. Last year at the COP26 Glasgow climate summit nearly 200 countries agreed to strengthen their climate targets. There’s a need to move very rapidly on implementation, which increasingly makes economic sense.”

📌 Forget Silicon Valley. Why Europe is the place to start your tech journey

📱”European startups attracted more than $110 billion over the course of 2021. The continent has already given birth to household names, such as SAP, Spotify, and Booking.com, and with the popularity of the region set to grow exponentially, it’s likely that we’ll be seeing many more emerge in the future.”

📱 “In Europe, each country has its own unique cultural and legal nuances to consider when building a business. While this can pose a problem — whether it’s operational alterations, localisation issues, or dealing with different payment providers — the advantage lies in helping start-ups become truly customer-centric, putting their users first when defining, developing, and then refining their product.”

📌 Global digital coalition presents a plan for a green digital revolution 🌿

🇺🇳 A UN-backed coalition of 1,000 stakeholders from over 100 nations unveiled an Action Plan to accelerate digitalization’s environmental and social sustainability. The Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES) intends to refocus and prioritize the use of digital technologies in order to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’s goals to solve the triple planetary emergency of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and waste.
🌍 The flagship CODES Action Plan includes building globally inclusive processes to define standards and governance frameworks for digital sustainability, allocating the necessary resources and infrastructure, and identifying opportunities to reduce potential harms or risks from digitalization.
🛰 “Digitalization is changing the way the world works, but the new world of work must be a sustainable one. It is critical that digital innovations and technologies accelerate environmental sustainability. UNEP is committed to supporting CODES and digital sustainability as a core part of our new Digital Transformation programme” said Inger Andersen, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme and CODES co-champion.

📌 How is the Digital Transition Benefiting the Planet?💻🌍

👉”From the middle of the twentieth century onwards, the world economy has been undergoing what academics refer to as the “digital transition.” This is the shift of one industry after another toward computer-based ways of working, which is now all but ubiquitous. The rise of digital technologies enabling a digital transition correlates with our increasing awareness of a looming climate catastrophe. Researchers from Portugal’s Universidade Europeia scoured the literature recently to find out exactly how the digital transition has impacted the planet.”
