#CSRD: Employee threshold raised to 1,750 → over 90% of companies now exempt from ESG reporting, including many listed firms ready for 2025.
#CS3D: Large companies no longer required to publish transition plans, weakening incentives for decarbonisation.

Limiting warming to 1.5 °C is no longer possible, but 2 °C remains achievable if commitments hold. Every fraction of a degree counts.

⚙️ Key takeaways: our director highlighted some challenges, particularly for the German automotive and French steel industry, and noted that the contribution of external carbon credits to the 90% reduction target must be considered with caution and limited to a small fraction of the necessary effort.

As our Director, noted in her interview with @artefr.bsky.social :
“We are aware of the divisions, we are aware of the difficulties, but #Europe can do it, and #Europe must do it, and frankly, the world is watching us.”

Stay curious. Keep Thinking Europe!

⚠️ Risk or opportunity? Smallholders in developing countries may struggle, safeguards could weaken, and early sustainability investors penalised.
✅ #EUDR can drive climate justice & fair trade but only with support, transparency & capacity-building.
