Thanks so much for sharing Serge Zaka. This is incredibly powerful information! 🌍 Embracing Sustainable Real Estate: Addressing the Impact of Global Warming 🏢 June 12, 2024, where we've just experienced the hottest June day on record. The built environment, including real estate, accounts for 40% of global emissions. As average temperatures rise and extreme heat becomes more frequent, our HVAC systems strain to keep up. This not only increases energy consumption but also escalates emissions—a concerning exponential impact. At BFY Carbon Strategies, we're dedicated to leading the charge in decarbonising real estate. From optimising HVAC systems to integrating renewable energy sources, we're paving the way towards a net-zero carbon future. Join us in reshaping the real estate landscape for a sustainable tomorrow. Let's turn the tide on climate change and ensure our buildings are resilient to the challenges ahead. #BFYCarbonStrategies #SustainableRealEstate #ClimateAction #NetZeroCarbon #BuildingResilience #GlobalWarming

🇪🇺 In its reply to a parliamentary question, the European Commission provided technical explanations on the eligibility conditions of #wind propulsion to the European Green #Taxonomy. 🌬 🔎To evidence substantial contribution to climate mitigation, companies can make use of a criterion that is most relevant for a specific ship and to its operating profile. ➡️ To this end, instead of the criterion requiring zero (direct) tailpipe CO2 emissions, the ships having installed wind propulsion systems, could qualify as green investments both through the criterion based on Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) or the combined criterion making use of the Energy Efficiency for Existing Ships (EEXI) and greenhouse gases ( GHG) intensity of the energy used onboard.

Ten proposals to reduce the dangers of marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean. As the planet experiences record-breaking heat each year, the temperatures of seas and ocean are also rising. In the Mediterranean, water temperatures can reach up to 30 degrees C., leading to marine heatwaves that have serious consequences for marine life also influencing terrestrial weather, becoming a driving force behind storms. During the summer of 2024, the Mediterranean saw exceptionally high temperatures, with 30 degrees recorded by a beacon between Nice and Cagnes-sur-Mer (France). These heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, affecting not just the surface but deeper waters as well. Loss of biodiversity: Environments are increasingly retreating. For instance, gorgonians are bleaching and dying, which means they can no longer provide habitat for numerous fish species. Mitigating the impact on marine ecosystems requires a combination of global, regional, and local efforts. Here are some strategies: 1. Global Actions Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation. 2. International Agreements: Supporting and adhering to international agreements like the Paris Agreement can help coordinate global efforts to combat climate change. 3. Regional and Local Actions Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): Establishing and enforcing MPAs can help protect critical habitats and allow ecosystems to recover. 4. Sustainable Fishing Practices: Implementing and enforcing sustainable fishing practices can prevent overfishing and protect marine biodiversity. 5. Pollution Control: Reducing pollution from land-based sources, such as agricultural runoff and plastic waste, can significantly improve marine health. 6. Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about the importance of marine ecosystems and the impact of climate change can drive community action and support for conservation efforts. 7. Supporting Conservation Organizations: Contributing to or volunteering with organizations dedicated to marine conservation can help amplify their efforts. 8. Sustainable Choices: Making sustainable choices in daily life, such as reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable seafood, and reducing carbon footprints, can collectively make a significant impact. 9. Scientific and Technological Innovations Research and Monitoring: Continued research and monitoring of marine ecosystems can help understand the impacts of climate change and develop effective mitigation strategies. 10. Restoration Projects: Engaging in restoration projects, such as coral reef restoration and mangrove planting, can help rebuild damaged ecosystems. By combining these efforts, we can work towards mitigating the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and preserving them for future generations. https://lnkd.in/eWs7ka3G

Anne Hidalgo just announced that she will not be running for another 6-year term as Mayor of Paris. In her tenure, she has proven herself to be one of very few truly brave politicians. She took her 2014 mandate, and showed that she had the courage of her convictions, and instead of "analysis paralysis", she rapidly set out to make the changes she promised to make in Paris. Not everyone was on board, and any leader who actually makes changes will endure and waken the full forces of the anti-change stakeholders. But after a productive first term, the majority of Parisians sent her back to finish the job in 2020. More importantly, many people who were against her ideas at first, changed their minds and voted for her after seeing the results of the first-term's projects. These changes include abstract concepts like: - Equity, fairness, inclusion, access, addressing the modern city under a changing climate But also concrete changes like: - Hundreds of school streets, where traffic is blocked on blocks with schools, creating an instant playground, pedestrian and cyclist drop-off zone for kids, with NO car danger or idling vehicle pollution. - Changing the riverside freeways into parks for people. You can now walk along the riverside, or jog, bike, rollerblade, picnic, drink & revel. This is prime real estate in Paris she reclaimed for people, not cars. - Cleaner river - Pedestrian improvements and more space - Huge growth in bike lanes - Increased greenery and tree planting - Reduction of "heat island" contributors - Public transit enhancements & system growth - Flood preparedness systems - Efficient centralized citywide piped heat pump systems - Housing supply growth, stabilization of real estate prices And she contributed to shared successes like the 2024 Paris Olympics, transportation and mobility, a cleaner river, a 15 minute city. Paris is now a model city that many other metropolises can and ARE using as a leading example. Was Hidalgo perfect? No of course not - who is? I understand many of the critiques against her, but I believe she delivered on what she promised, and what she was elected to do. That makes her an unusually good politician, who is forward-leading as opposed to just forward-looking.

Is seamless border crossing without interacting with border control still just a dream for travelers? That dream is quickly becoming reality. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being invited to a live interview on BFM Business TV's Tech & Co segment, expertly hosted by Frédéric Simottel. We dove into the technological advancements shaping our future, particularly as the aviation industry prepares for 9 billion passengers by 2040, according to International Air Transport Association (IATA).   The new Passenger IT Insights report from SITA, based on input from over 7,000 travelers across 25 countries, highlights a key trend: 75% of passengers are ready to embrace biometric technology, with secure data stored on their smartphones. This shows how rapidly passenger expectations are evolving—often outpacing regulations. As we explore these innovations, traveler consent and acceptance of these technologies are vital, especially within the clear regulatory framework that Europe has established.   The challenge isn’t technological anymore; it’s about updating regulations, integrating systems, and setting common standards. At SITA, we’re committed to building this ecosystem alongside airports, airlines, and industry partners.   Please, follow the link to watch the full interview (in French): https://lnkd.in/ec_az3EW #aviation #airports #airlines #digitalization #biometrics #airtransportindustry

Thank you Groupe Nice-Matin for the opportunity to explain how the critical nexus between #Ocean and #Climate action is addressed in international negotiations, with Cecile Sabourault (ECOSEAS lab director). Marine ecosystems, such as #coral reefs 🪸 and #seagrass beds ☘️ , play a vital role in #carbon sequestration and provide critical ecosystem services. However, there is an urgent need for improved financing strategies 💰 to support their #protection, particularly in developing countries. Indeed, gaps in protection, such as inadequate surveillance in Marine Protected Areas, remain a significant challenge. One that current climate negotiations are trying to address through new #finance instruments. By integrating natural and science and socio-economics, as exemplified in programs like MARRES (of course!), we can foster innovative and effective solutions. 🌍🌊 The article (in French) https://lnkd.in/gHxT46a6 Université Côte d'Azur

This week was held in Chambéry (France) the 7th edition of the national event Digital in Common[s] (Numérique en Commun[s]), bringing together actors of the "digital for the general interest" from all over France. This is not purely an event around digital commons and open models, it's much more an institutional approach driven by public administrations in an attempt to bring digital technologies into line with their public service mission. In this process, the challenge of digital commons then becomes a groundswell that is spreading all over the place, a way to try to reach this digital in commons. A strongly institutional event but where many of the people involved in these practices and movements come together, mixing a variety of people. A member of parliament, a senator or a mayor, digital workers, researchers, people from public or private organisations, from NGO or weapons sellers, the entrepreneur or freelancer, and so on. A 2-day event that nurtures a culture of openness within public administration and beyond, continuing to shed light on these subjects. It can reflect an evolution in the appropriation of these practices as with the French Ministry of Education which became an official partner for the first year in line with their digital policies, with an underlying logic of open by default. Some key ideas I'm taking could be a rise in criticism against the logic of calls for projects, challenging the way public procurement currently operates pushing for more consideration towards call for commons. A latent need and interest for education and a culture of openness, which, for example, has been well-identified as a brake for digital commons. In search of an education "by and for the commons". A critique of innovation in favor of maintenance has been made in order to take care of things and people. Despite their growing position, these practices are often overshadowed by large closed technological solutions and are not yet the favored approach in the main power bodies (and those who hold the moneybags). Digital commons remain marginal and fragile despite their fundamental nature. A vibrant appeal was made for a more structured movement to transform itself into a real alternative. To oppose to a digital in competition this digital in common, outlining these dynamics as transforming the (neo)liberal state towards a cooperative rather than competitive mindset, with a call for greater sustainability through changes in legislation. Digital has been the Wild West of liberalism, a mercantile world abandoned to the private sector where public spaces belong to billionaires more powerful than states. But we are not facing a single path, others are taking shape in front of our eyes. Politics, ideologies and conceptions of the world shape our digital universe in depth.
