🌱 Investing in nature-based solutions is a smart way to fund resilience, not disasters. Research conducted at the Université Grenoble Alpes shows that investing in a range of nature-based solutions to reduce disaster risks can offer returns on investment of 2.8:1 – as well as providing benefits to the environment and the well-being of communities. Funding nature-based solutions can boost disaster resilience, foster environmental sustainability, and pay back economic returns. 💰 🌐 On International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction – 13 October – we are calling on public and provide sector investors to fund resilience, not disasters. Because resilience pays. Learn how ➡️ https://ow.ly/JNol50X8yGa #ResiliencePays #DRRday

Water security is emerging as one of the defining investment themes of the coming years. Against this backdrop, the European Investment Bank (EIB) hosted a roundtable last week in Luxembourg on water financing models.   Our discussions reinforced a core conviction: water resilience depends not only on technical infrastructure but equally on how we collectively finance and govern water resources. If we fail to act, water insecurity could reduce global GDP by more than 8% by 2050. In Europe, the European Central Bank estimates almost 15% of economic output is at risk due to water scarcity.   The current economic model for water reduces the financial capacity of operators to self-finance the investments needed for the modernization and expansion of infrastructure. Building resilient systems requires robust economic models that blend public resources, private capital and innovative instruments. It’s the only way to close the investment gap and scale up action. It echoes SUEZ's daily reality: designing, building and operating essential infrastructure that serve communities over the long term.    I thank the EIB and the EIB Institute for hosting this initiative, alongside Edouard Perard, PhD, Thierry Déau, Luca Perez, Trine Christiansen, AquaFed, Dominique G. and other attendees for their valuable insights.

ISEP State of the Profession Report 2025: More than 28% of sustainability and environmental professionals say their organisation does not measure greenhouse gas emissions and 30% do not measure landfill waste... Despite this, of those 72% that do measure emissions, more than two-thirds measure Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions such as those in supply chains) in addition to Scope 1 & 2 direct emissions. Overall, larger organisations are reportedly 50% more likely to have reduced emissions than small and medium organisations (SMEs). Given that they are often likely to be starting from a larger emissions base, there is a double positive in terms of the absolute level of emissions from a larger organisation and their propensity to reduce. This means that respondents may have helped save 30.04KtC02e - equal to 496,714 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. As the #sustainability and #environmental profession's impact has advanced significantly, so has #emissions and #wastereporting and action plans have over the years. But there is still more to do.
