This event was co-hosted by MEP Pascal Canfin (RENEW), Chair of the European Parliament’s Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee(ENVI) and MEP César Luena (S&D), Rapporteur of the EU Nature Restoration Law and took place in the European Parliament in Brussels. Businesses are aware of their role in supporting the transition towards a resilient net-zero economy and an equitable, nature-positive future. Additionally, an increasing number of companies are aware that nature restoration will play a key role in increasing the EU’s resilience and contribute to the economy by bringing socio-economic benefits such as sustainable jobs, recreation opportunities, and broader health benefits. Against this backdrop, CLG Europe brought together EU decision-makers, leading businesses and NGOs in this event, organised under the Green Growth Partnership, to discuss the role of EU Nature Restoration Law in addressing today’s dual climate and nature crisis, as well as providing a range of economic opportunities including high quality jobs and growth of new sectors. Speakers included: MEP Pascal Canfin, RENEW, Chair of the European Parliament ENVI Committee MEP César Luena, S&D Group, European Parliament ENVI Committee Rapporteur for the Nature Restoration Law Karolina D’Cunha, Deputy Head of Unit, Natural Capital and Ecosystem Health, DG Environment, European Commission Gonzalo Saenz De Miera, President of the Spanish Green Growth Group Bart Vandewaetere, VP Corporate Communications & Government Relations, Nestlé Europe Tim Christophersen, Vice President of Climate Action, Salesforce Stefania Avanzini, Director, One Planet Business for Biodiversity, WBCSD Elisabeth Hoffmann, Head of EU Affairs, VELUX Paul Wilczek, Head of Energy Policy, Climate & Sustainability, Eurelectric Bart Corijn, Programme Manager, The Shift Ariel Brunner, Director, Birdlife Europe and Central Asia The event was moderated by Ursula Woodburn, Director of the European Corporate Leaders Group.

The Ganbatte Project helps cities find ways to become more regenerative, and accelerate their own transitions to a circular economy through a range of finance and policy initiatives. In the Circular Economy Show, Claudia Alessio and Laura Talsma from Circle Economy, and Charis Hoffmann from ICLEI described the project, how it works and the effect it's having on helping cities use circular principles. ------ Thank you for watching this video. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK charity that develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy, which - driven by design, eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

TEDx Talks Published on Apr 8, 2016| TEDxNSU

What if we were tasked with making a difference, so that our time on this planet leaves it better than we found it? What if we were tasked with making a difference, so that our time on this planet leaves it better than we found it? This thought launched me into a new career as a Legacy Coach working with people who want to make a difference. I researched leaders who champion initiatives that have made a positive impact on the world, hoping to find ways to actively develop a new generation of responsible, purposeful leaders.

I call it the “sustainability mindset in action.” Isabel Rimanoczy’s life purpose is to develop change accelerators. Aware of the complex challenges we and our planet are facing, she works alongside those who can make a large-scale impact. Rimanoczy, Ed.D., developed the Sustainability Mindset, a concept she researched by studying business leaders who champion corporate initiatives with a positive impact on the environment and the community.

She is also the author of several books, including Big Bang Being: Developing the Sustainability Mindset, and has published over 140 articles and book chapters. Rimanoczy blogs for the Huffington Post and has just published her newest book, coedited with Keru Kassal available from Amazon. Click on book icon to order.

“Why Climate Action Gets Stuck and What to do About it” begins with a vexing puzzle. There is a troubling and recurring pattern in responses to climate change where climate action (at many levels—cities, provinces, federal, global) gets started, but tends to run into obstacles and stalls or even backtracks. Drawing on multiple examples from a five-year research project, I explain why that happens and explore the possibilities for getting unstuck and catalyzing the kind of transformative change we need to head off and navigate the climate emergency. Matthew Hoffmann is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, Scarborough. He is also Co-Director of the Environmental Governance Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs. Professor Hoffmann’s research and teaching interests include global governance, climate change politics, and international relations theory. He is the author of Climate Governance at the Crossroads: Experimenting with a Global Response after Kyoto (Oxford University Press 2011) and Ozone Depletion and Climate Change: Constructing a Global Response (SUNY Press 2005). He also is a co-author on a recent collaborative book Transnational Climate Change Governance (Cambridge University Press 2014). His current collaborative research project, funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council, explores the development of Political Pathways to Decarbonization.

Reflection about the Inner Landscape of Sustainability 

Isabel Rimanoczy, Ed.D. has made it her life purpose to develop change accelerators. She developed the concept of the Sustainability Mindset by studying what inspired leaders to act in a business-as-unusual way. 

In this video she address interconnectivity and connecting with our inner landscape."There is an increasing number of people who are looking inside,

pausing, and are stepping outside of the noise...they are asking themselves what are my deepest values why am I doing what am I doing?"

What is the purpose of what I am doing?

As climate change becomes increasingly urgent, it is becoming our responsibility to do our very best to combat it. In my talk, I give a comprehensive guide as to how you can thoroughly reduce your waste and align your sustainability values with your actions, and how these actions inspire large-scale change. Together, we have the potential to reverse the negative effects of climate change. I hope this talk serves as a catalyst for a fundamental change in the way you view how your lifestyle impacts the Earth. Isabel is a junior at Jones, who is interested in the intersection between entrepreneurship and sustainability. She founded a company, greenteen, focusing on just that. She loves learning about how to have a positive impact on people, animals, and the planet as best she can.

Isabel Sebastian, Business Development Manager at Bhutan Luminous, talks about happiness and well-being as a measure of sustainability progress at BSR Conference 2012: Fast Forward.

She addresses the importance of happiness to development and sustainability; most business models will require significant changes to have a positive effect; and how adapting business models to account for happiness can provide business with unexplored opportunities to help people contribute to society, learn the “skill” of happiness, and transform their lives.

Greater sustainability impacts depend on personal and collective human happiness and well-being.
