In Arusha, Tanzania, locals have ingeniously transformed desert areas into thriving savannas by digging semicircular holes. This simple method collects rainwater, preventing evaporation, and allowing grass seeds to grow, binding the soil and preventing erosion. Introduced by the NGO Justdiggit, over 200,000 of these holes, called "bunds," have been dug since 2013, aiding in the fight against desertification in Kenya and Tanzania.

China has completed a massive solar farm in Ningxia Hui, with a capacity of 1 million kilowatts, enough to supply electricity to 1.5 million households. This project is part of a larger initiative to construct renewable energy installations in desert regions, with the goal of adding 100 gigawatts of clean energy by 2026. The Ningxia Hui solar farm also features an innovative ultrahigh-voltage power line, which will transmit the generated electricity to the densely populated Hunan Province.

What is carbon accounting and is integrating carbon accounting in my business essential? 💡 Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and tracking greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and understanding how much carbon dioxide (CO2) and equivalents such as e.g methane are emitted by a company, entity, product, event, individual or a process to name some examples. 👉 The carbon footprint is the result of the calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions. Knowing your carbon footprint and applying carbon accounting is increasingly becoming an important factor in defining business risk as it shows your own environmental impact. 👉 That environmental impact is used by investors, financial institutions as measure to quantity your cost to capital or simplified the higher your carbon footprint the more likely you either will have to pay a significant higher cost to access new capital or even will have no access to capital at all. 👌 Use carbon accounting to identify opportunities for emission reductions, to mitigate climate risk in the first place and from a business perspective improve your access to capital, be compliant, increase your competitive advantage and be a business leader. 💡 When you fall into the CSRD criteria you should not forget that reporting on your Green House Gas emissions is mandatory.
