We guide you. We lead you. Building on our direct experience with EU research projects, we have come to realise that there is a need for more harmonised information provision on EU funding opportunities and related procedures as well as a need for capacity building on developing competitive proposals and effectively managing projects under the EU’s Research and Innovation programmes. The EU funding system is complex and competition to get a project financed by the EU is tough. To respond to this need, Europa Media was established in 2003 with a mission to provide and present the dispersed and technical information on EU policies, funding opportunities and programmes in a streamlined and simplified way to relevant stakeholders in Europe and worldwide. Are our courses for you?

Food, Beverage Giants Working with Growers to Cultivate Next-Gen Ag Practices Anheuser-Busch partnership will produce more efficient rice-growing practices, while General Mills has committed to regenerate 1M acres of farmland by 2030. Indigo Agriculture, Anheuser-Busch partner on climate-friendlier rice Image credit: Budweiser This week, Anheuser-Busch announced a partnership with Indigo Agriculture — a company that works with growers to improve profitability, environmental sustainability, and consumer health through the use of natural microbiology and digital technologies — to advance sustainable rice production. Indigo has committed to delivering 2.2 million bushels of Indigo Rice™ to Anheuser-Busch that is grown with specific environmental attributes. Growers contracting with Indigo to produce rice for Anheuser-Busch will reduce water and nitrogen used by 10 percent and achieve at least 10 percent savings in greenhouse gas emissions compared to state benchmarks.

Microsoft, Nike e Unilever criam fundo de investimento climático - ClimaInfo Gigantes do setor privado global, como a Microsoft, Nike, Starbucks, Unilever e outras cinco corporações multinacionais se uniram para criar um fundo de defesa ambiental com o objetivo de apoiar projetos de pesquisa e iniciativas que reduzam emissões de gases de efeito estufa e viabilizem as metas de descarbonização que estão sendo definidas em diversos países nos últimos meses. A Microsoft, que encabeça o grupo, anunciou ontem (21/7) que destinará ao fundo US$ 50 milhões do total de US$ 1 bilhão de seu programa de ação climática e inovação tecnológica anunciado em janeiro. Entre as empresas participantes, está a brasileira Natura. Em tempo: A Apple anunciou na 3ª feira que tornará todas as suas operações neutras em emissões de carbono até 2030, compromisso que cobre também sua cadeia de suprimentos e o ciclo de vida de todos os seus produtos, inclusive a energia consumida em seu uso.

To address this challenge, Ford partnered with the University of Michigan’s Erb Institute to define social sustainability and identify metrics to track improvements. Defining Corporate Social Sustainability A clear definition of corporate social sustainability — the ‘S’ in ESG — remains elusive. This is a challenge that the Ford Motor Company is experiencing firsthand. To address this challenge, Ford partnered with the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan to define social sustainability (or what Ford refers to as “human progress”) and identify metrics to track improvements. Ford’s Model of Human Progress Figure 1. Hear 75 insights from 25 purpose-driven brand leaders ... Not sure where, or whether, to start on your company's social purpose? These “ends” are also applicable at other companies and within other sectors (with minor changes, as shown in Table 1).

Why Do We Need a Climate School? by Alex Halliday |July 13, 2020 Photo: Columbia University Seventy years ago, if studying at Columbia, you might have learned about Magna Carta and its importance in shaping the United States of America. You might also have learned about the then-developing field of nuclear fission. Today you might learn about Magna Carta still, possibly with a clearer understanding of its influence, but the field of machine learning would be the exciting new area instead of nuclear fission. Despite this inevitable and healthy, but gradual, development, it is worth asking whether a university or universities generally are still structured optimally for tackling the hard and typically trans-disciplinary problems faced by today’s society. In this context, you may have noticed that Columbia University is launching a Climate School. If climate is part of the curricula and research programs of so many parts of Columbia, you might ask “Why do we need a climate school?”

2021 EY Global Climate Risk Disclosure Barometer | EY - US Understanding the biggest emission-reduction levers up and down the value chain Understanding climate risks and opportunities goes beyond an organization’s own footprint and can involve more complex data management, analysis and forecasting. For most organizations, the emissions from up and down the value chain (Scope 3) are much higher than those from their own operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2). The biggest levers are likely to come either from downstream manufacturing or transport, or the upstream processing, use or transport of products. This is not just an issue in emission-intensive industries such as iron ore mining, where significant Scope 3 emissions come from a customer turning the product into steel. As a result, the most powerful emission-reduction levers are rarely intuitive. Not surprisingly, stakeholder scrutiny around value chain emissions is growing, especially in carbon-intensive and consumer-facing industries. Next steps for climate-related reporting

Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) distributes Near Real-Time (NRT) active fire data within 3 hours of satellite observation from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Each MODIS active fire/thermal hotspot location represents the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel. Combined (Terra and Aqua) MODIS NRT active fire products (MCD14DL) are processed using the standard MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies algorithm. MODIS Collection 6 has been available since September 2015. Each VIIRS active fire/thermal hotspot location represents the center of a 375m pixel. The VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas and has improved nighttime performance.
