1! Cross-sector collaboration playbook to support and scale social innovation
After ten years and 19 countries, Unilever and partners have published insights learned about their collaboration to scale social innovation. One insight highlights why and how they shifted decision-making power from HQ to in-country teams. The result is that local teams found stronger candidates to support that are truly locally rooted in the context. Relationships between funders and enterprises could also carry on after HQ stepped away, for real, long-term impact. [Read more]
2! WWF guide to effective traceability for deforestation-linked commodities
New EUDR rules require companies to prove their soy, palm oil, leather and timber are deforestation-free. That's harder than it sounds, one leather brand mapped over 50,000 possible farms when only around 500 actually supplied its product. WWF's guide suggests tracing material forward from the source rather than backwards from the shelf. It also refers a companion tool, the Traceability Tools Navigator, for comparing the traceability and monitoring tools on the market. [Read more]
3! Track emissions, see pollution plumes & discover cost-effective solutions
You can do all three in one platform by ClimateTrace, a global not-for-profit coalition of over 100 universities, scientists, and AI experts. One of its features lets you set a decarbonisation target, explore emissions reducing solutions, and see which could be applied at an emission source. The solutions are ranked by effort - the shortest vertical bars are easier and more cost-effective, while the tallest need more analysis to be viable at a site. [Discover here]
4! Google and CDP's AI tool support adaptation and resilience planning
Making better decisions and investments on adaptation and resilience depends on understanding the risks your locations face and progress being made to address them. For a given location, the Adaptation and Action Explorer reveals which climate hazards pose the greatest risk, what adaptation actions and goals the local government has set, and which of its projects are seeking finance. It covers over 1,000 subnational governments across 80 countries. [Access here]
5! World Bank Group AI tool that reviews ESG disclosures in 30 minutes
Anyone who has to review company ESG disclosures struggles with too much unstructured text, too little time. MALENA, the free AI tool from the World Bank Group, extracts insights using a taxonomy of more than 1,000 ESG-related terms, and it is tailored to emerging markets. Kenya's capital markets regulator used it to cut review time per issuer from 15 business days to 30 minutes at 95% accuracy, with zero hallucinations after iterative testing. [Access here]
