Sustainability expert Nils Tore Skogland will present during the Environmental Sustainability Rotarian Action Group's Biodiversity Meeting this Wednesday, June 9 at 9:00 a.m. (ET) via Zoom. Skogland will focus on Carbon Markets and Sequestration: True Strategic Sustainable Development.
Environmental risk factors, such as air, water and soil pollution, chemical exposures, climate change, and ultraviolet radiation, contribute to more than 100 diseases and injuries. Every year globally, millions of people die due to unhealthy environments.What are the environmental effects of different economic schemes? Will society become sustainable once the CO2 emissions are reduced? We need to move away from reducing the harm caused by previous innovation mistakes, and start creating true value for customers, companies and nature. How can both A Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development from Karl-Henrik Robert and Innovation Inspired by Nature help humans to become a relevant species in nature?
