Improving soil quality is vital to help reach climate targets. Soil is an untapped storage solution that can capture more carbon than the atmosphere and all plant life. Simple techniques, such as crop rotation, cover crops, and direct drilling, can restore soil health and biodiversity in a decade. #SoilHealth #ClimateTargets #WEF https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/08/soil-health-climate-crisis-climate-targets/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Does this mean that #Brimbank City Council has shown support for the 3rd runway, on the proviso that residents be consulted and fairly compensated?
What does that mean for health impacts not associated with increased noise levels?
What does that mean for our #climatetargets and the #climatecrisis we are all in?
What does that mean for the hundreds of wild #animals and #biodiversity, that will be drastically impacted by the 3rd runway?

Council have been a big support of our campaign and I hope they continue to be. I also hope we can get some context and clarification on this motion.

The Swedish government is criticised for abandoning climate targets.

The Swedish Climate Policy Council believes that measures announced by the ruling majority since October 2022 will increase emissions in the short term, rather than rapidly reducing them.

"Fewer than one-fifth of net-zero targets set by national and subnational governments and only a third of the largest public corporations with net-zero targets actually meet science-aligned criteria."

The authors of this article by Harvard Business Review have identified five critical elements for advocacy strategies that will help businesses use their power & influence to push for the system change required to meet climate targets.

3. Applying bio-based material solutions shows substantial #embodied carbon reduction #potential (#CarbonReductionStrategies).
4. A particularly encouraging finding: Carbon budget-based #ClimateTargets for buildings can be met when applying bio-based material solutions in combination with low-tech/high-brain building design.
5. Next, future research is needed on the #implementation and #scaling of regenerative design strategies.
