How can we redirect financial flows towards a sustainable, climate-friendly economy? 💶 🌍

The policy brief “Financing the green transition”, published as part of a research project by Witten/Herdecke University and the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) – funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) – addresses this question.

🎓🌍 The 2025 #ECASummerSchool is a wrap!

From 3 to 5 June, we welcomed auditors to Finland for an inspiring programme hosted by the European Court of Auditors (ECA) member Petri Sarvamaa in collaboration with Aalto University School of Business in Helsinki.

Auditors & civil servants joined us to explore #EUbudget policies, auditing in times of change, and global trends like the #greentransition, #defence, and #AI.

A huge thank you to all speakers and participants for sharing their insights!

World Bicycle Day: How Rome is urging more people to ditch their cars and cycle.

World Bicycle Day, celebrated globally on 3 June, highlights the benefits of using a bike as a sustainable means of transport.

Rome has already made great strides to accommodate cyclists, but there’s still a lot of work to do to improve its infrastructure and better support them.

In our latest blog post, we explore the powerful yet under-the-radar concept of trans-regional circularity hubs: steadyhq.com/en/spatialforesig

These hubs aim to connect regions across borders, aligning material flows, industrial strengths and circular innovation. The goal? A greener, more resilient Europe – built on cooperation, not competition.
🔍 Why do we need hubs that go beyond national borders?
🛠️ How can EU policy help them thrive?
🚀 What initiatives are already paving the way?

🔍 Europe’s Talent Challenge: is a ‘Union of Skills’ the answer?
How can Europe ensure that everyone and every place has a future in the green and digital age?
Read our latest blog post to find out: steadyhq.com/en/spatialforesig
It explores the European Commission’s ambitious new strategy, the Union of Skills, and its implications for regional development, labour mobility and cohesion across the EU.
From tackling talent traps to supporting rural and post-industrial areas, the Union of Skills could transform our approach to human capital, competitiveness, and territorial equity.

European #biosolutions can accelerate the #greentransition, but simplified regulation is needed [Advocacy Lab Content]: #Biosolutions are central to Europe’s #greentransition, offering scalable, nature-inspired alternatives to traditional industrial methods. This Special Report takes a closer look. euractiv.com/section/eet/speci

"Meanwhile, companies like Aldi, Everton Football Club, and the National Grid are seeking planning permission from local authorities to turn to Environment Bank with the view to purchase Biodiversity Units, which will enable them to meet the new BNG requirements where it is not possible (or, perhaps, less cost-effective) to restore biodiversity on the new construction site. As the biodiversity of the habitat bank improves, so does the number of Biodiversity Units that the site is worth, meaning that Environment Bank can sell more of them, and the value of the “biodiversity asset” that Gresham House owns increases.

What’s not to like? Everyone makes a buck—or saves a few, in the case of the developers—and flora and fauna, which the over-farmed land hasn’t seen for centuries, return. Unfortunately, things are not so simple. There is every reason to predict that such attempts to render nature initiatives “investable” will be even less successful than they have been at pursuing decarbonization in energy and transport, not just because of the relatively nominal scale of financing efforts in the former vis-a-vis the latter, but also because of the particular uncertainties embedded within them. It is only by looking at the whole picture of climate financing flows—and the other sectors and material demands of the green transition—that we can begin to reckon with the fundamental limitations of our existing climate governance regime, and what alternatives to it might look like."

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.

What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.

Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???

Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?

$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.

Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

It doesn't matter how vehemently or often or long something is said, if it aint so it is not so.

Here somebody with an actual brain and the career path to use that capability, lays it out : AGAIN.


It will not make one Nostalgic Nationalistic Nutjob of Nope2Woke difference, but at least it validates the truth _one_ _more_ _time_.
