We're proud to launch our new film telling Mighty Earth's story of how we deploy our "perfect storm" campaign approach to stop the destruction of nature and shift whole industries to adopt sustainable practices. We use several strategies, from satellite monitoring to pinpoint deforestation in supply chains to scrutinising companies to see if they're “greenwashing” their climate and ESG credentials. Our reports and investigations have revealed that many industries still don’t have control of their supply chains, allowing deforestation and human rights violations to seep in through direct and indirect suppliers. We work alongside Indigenous communities on the frontline of deforestation, amplifying their voices and seeking new platforms for their stories to be heard.

Thanks Marie Kemplay and Sustainable Views for the opportunity to comment on the Tropical Forest Mechanism. Mighty Earth CEO Glenn Hurowitz shares his thoughts. 👇🏼
A group of Brazilian research and policy bodies have devised a mechanism that aims to raise funds quickly to conserve tropical forests. The Tropical Forests Mechanism offers an alternative to carbon credits, as it would pay out by hectare of forest, rather than by tonnes of carbon emissions avoided or removed. Glenn Hurowitz, CEO and founder of non-profit Mighty Earth, tells Sustainable Views that on paper the TFM is a “very elegant mechanism” that “could free the great cause of nature protection from the anvil around the neck of the carbon markets”.

Quer conhecer os impactos das inovadoras ações da Mighty Earth nos planos da da JBS em abrir seu capital na Bolsa de Valores de Nova York (NYSE)? Participe do nosso painel de especialistas que irão discutir o tema em um webinar em 31 de julho às 10:30 (Brasília). Há quase um ano a JBS iniciou seu processo para sua Oferta Pública Inicial (IPO) na NYSE, o que nós, da Mighty Earth, consideramos como a IPO mais decisiva da história para o clima do planeta. Se a empresa for listada com sucesso, terá acesso a bilhões de dólares de financiamento para expandir suas operações globais de carne, o que consequentemente aumentará a suas, já desproporcionais, emissões de gases de efeito estufa com enormes implicações para as pessoas, o clima e a natureza. Como parte da pressão para que a JBS vá além das promessas e tome ações concretas para combater o desmatamento em sua cadeia de suprimentos, enviamos um fluxo constante de denúncias à U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC, a CVM dos Estados Unidos) pedindo um maior escrutínio do plano, que não traz clareza aos investidores sobre o impacto ambiental das operações industriais de carne da JBS. Não estamos sozinhos, legisladores de ambos os lados do Atlântico expressaram suas preocupações à SEC, e o Office of the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, está processando a gigante da carne por enganar os consumidores dos EUA sobre as alegações de sustentabilidade de seus produtos de carne e a validade de suas promessas Net Zero. Inscreva-se no webinar e saiba mais!🌳 ➡ https://lnkd.in/dYyDAMhy

Happening tomorrow at 0930 ET/1030 BR/1430 UK/1530 CET! Join for a webinar with experts to discuss the actions campaigners and lawyers are using to stop JBS' expansion plans. RSVP today ➡ https://lnkd.in/dYyDAMhy
What impact has Mighty Earth's innovative legal and supply chain actions had on JBS plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)? Join us and our expert panel to find out at our upcoming webinar on 31 July at 0930 ET/1030 BR/1430 UK/1530 CET. It's nearly a year since JBS first announced its Initial Public Offering (IPO) but opposition has been mounting. Securing a listing on the NYSE would give the world's biggest meat company access to billions of dollars to expand its global, climate-wrecking operations. We've submitted a steady flow of submissions to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission calling for greater scrutiny of the plan, which misleads investors about the environmental impact of JBS' industrial meat operations. We're not alone, lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic have voiced their concerns to the SEC and Office of the New York State Attorney General Letitia James is suing the Brazilian meat giant for misleading US consumers about the sustainability claims of its meat products and the validity of its Net Zero pledges. Join Mighty Earth and leading experts for crucial conversation on why the IPO is bad for climate and nature. 🌳 ➡ https://lnkd.in/dYyDAMhy Cory Booker Glenn Hurowitz Raisa Pina Kevin Galbraith Andrew Shalit Caitlin Smith Caroline Dihl Prolo fama re.capital Changing Markets Foundation The Galbraith Law Firm Green Century Funds Sydney Jones Carole Mitchell João Gonçalves Jordan McDonald Molly Dorozenski Mackenzie Harris #JBS #Webinar #Innovation #SEC #NYSE #Envionment #EnvironmentalImpact #Climate #Nature #NetZero #SBTi #Lawmakers #Sustainability

Mighty Earth reposted this
DE OLHO NO AGROLOBBY! A Changing Markets Foundation lançou hoje o relatório “Os novos mercadores da dúvida: como as grandes empresas de carne e laticínios evitam a ação climática”. O trabalho revela as táticas da indústria de alimentação para protelar, distrair e desmontar ações que poderiam transformar o sistema alimentar. A conclusão é que as grandes empresas do setor estão ressuscitando estratégias usadas no passado por setores de fumo e de combustíveis fósseis para garantir seus interesses comerciais. Tive o prazer de contribuir, representando a Mighty Earth, com a edição do estudo de caso Brasil. O capítulo aborda como o lobby do agronegócio brasileiro trabalha arduamente para manter a situação favorável e aumentar sempre seus lucros – garantindo pouca fiscalização e o desmonte de políticas públicas, em especial climáticas, que podem impactar o seu negócio. O estudo aborda, por exemplo, o poderoso lobby exercido no Congresso Nacional pela Frente Parlamentar da Agropecuária (FPA). O bloco “ruralista” suprapartidário, formado por parlamentares para preservar os interesses do setor, ocupava 257 das 594 cadeiras do Congresso na legislatura 2018-2022. Após as eleições de 2023, o número subiu para 374 cadeiras.

Steelmakers and automakers are at a stalemate, but recent developments in hydrogen-based steelmaking are finally shifting the conversation. It's time for the industry to embrace sustainable steel.

👀 🍫 I'm accountable: I take responsibility for my actions and explain why I make certain decisions. How many private cocoa companies can say the same about their sourcing decisions? 🤔 Sooner or later, good purchasing practices won't just be just a moral choice. Quality and sustainability are increasingly influencing consumer decisions, while policies and regulations are becoming more stringent. While some companies are already adapting to these changes, how many are communicating transparently and credibly about their purchasing practices? 📢 We call on all private companies in the sector to undertake regular public reporting and to provide access to an accessible and effective grievance mechanism. This will not only increase transparency, but also empower all stakeholders in the supply chain to be truly accountable, ultimately fostering collaboration and more inclusive business relationships. 🌍🤝 Join us and over 100 civil society organisations and farmer cooperatives in calling on companies for a #JustCocoaIndustry. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gsiC7dY9 👈 A call to action from Oxfam International, the INKOTA-netzwerk and Mighty Earth.
