Risk, return, resilience: How climate trends are reshaping agriculture

This week: Niamh McCarthy from Orbitas, a Climate Advisers initiative, talks with Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh about new research into climate transitions in the land economy, focusing on agriculture and forestry in particular, and market, reputational and technology trends. 

Plus: at the sustainable packaging innovation forum in Philadelphia this week, Ian spoke with David Clark, chief sustainability officer at packaging manufacturer Amcor, about how industry and regulatory actions can transform packaging to reduce waste and foster environmental responsibility.

 

And, Oxfam urges taxes on wealthy to reduce carbon emissions; WRAP and Primark launch initiative to boost textile circularity and reduce waste; Kering, GSK and Holcim set first-ever science-based targets for freshwater and land conservation; and, Mighty Earth links UK chicken supply chains to South American deforestation concerns, in the news digest.
