Join me and my @bsrnews.bsky.social colleague @davidstearns.bsky.social as we dive into the shifting context for #sustainablebusiness at a very consequential time.
In the latest episode of BSR Insights, President and CEO @aroncramer.bsky.social unpacks the EU Omnibus, what a potential lack of US involvement means for future COPs, and why sustainable business is losing the battle of ideas across Europe and the United States.

Compared with any other major country, the United States has been extremely fortunate in its two immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico.
Now, incredibly, it is declaring economic war on both of them. This is a war no one can win, and from which tens of millions will lose.
This is insanity.

My take on ten big questions that will shape 2025 for #sustainability.
There are so many uncertainties that questions rather than answers are the best way to make sense of the interlocking changes reshaping our world.
Spoiler alert: some of the questions lead directly to the best answers.

Roughly 35 percent of time-bound sustainability goals set by BSR’s members are set to expire in 2025; another 40 percent are pegged to 2030. How can companies seize this moment to develop goals that are ambitious, credible, and flexible enough to be fit for the future?

Of course the billionaire founder of Politico was surprised that people canceled their WaPo subscriptions over Bezos' capitulation to Trump. He cannot fathom people wanting to support institutions they believe share their values and aren't transparently hypocritical in claiming to support democracy.

Breaking news: Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.
Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says
The tenacious Southerner was turned out of office after one term. But he had a brilliant post-presidential career as a champion of health, peace and democracy.

Great post from @bsrnews.bsky.social #climate and #nature lead Lara Birkes on the essential links between the two.
Over half the world’s GDP depends on nature; an est. $58 trillion is exposed to nature-related risk.
Forward-thinking companies should understand that addressing climate change and protecting nature are intrinsically linked, and that true resilience requires an integrated strategy.

Not to mention Pell Grants, which enable upward mobility.
These are all bad ideas but cutting that tiny amount for Head Start is especially stupid. In life quality and outcomes it’s hard to beat investing in the first 5 years.
Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516B dollars in government savings — it includes cutting all of Veteran’s Affairs health care, eliminating the NIH, and ending funding for federal prisons. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Worth considering: would US withdrawal from #ParisAgreement in 2025 be a good or a bad thing? For obvious reasons, it would be irresponsible/damaging. But would the new US admin promote progress or obstruction? Given consensus rules at #COP, the US could use influence to slow/prevent action.
