New nature-reporting recommendations aim to help companies assess their impact on and risks from the world’s natural systems.

The TNFD recommendations are currently voluntary, but come as regulation tightens around degradation of the natural world. Separately, in the EU, many companies are already facing obligations to report their impact on nature under the bloc’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. “We recognize that nature loss poses both risks and opportunities for business, now and in the future,” said Jennifer Motles, PMI’s chief sustainability officer.

În loc să provoace o revoltă internațională, incidentul a fost întâmpinat cu zâmbete pe ambele părți ale frontierei, scrie digi24. Un localnic pasionat de istorie mergea prin pădure şi a observat că piatra care marca graniţa dintre cele două ţări a fost mutată 2,29 de metri. „A făcut Belgia mai mare şi Franţa mai mică, nu e o idee bună”, a declarat David Lavaux, primarul satului Erquelinnes, pentru TF1.
