What are the different forms of energy? What are critical interdependencies in the energy system? What does it actually take for successful decarbonization?

What are greenhouse gas emissions and why are they so relevant to global warming? How are these emissions being tracked?
Human activities are responsible for nearly all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the past 150 years. In this context, the reason companies need to reduce their carbon footprint as well as the importance of monitoring carbon emissions in scopes 1, 2, and 3 (as defined by the GHG Protocol) will be demonstrated to ultimately outline a plan and possible solutions to help companies become carbon neutral in the future using a best vs. worst practice example.

What is social entrepreneurship? And what is a non-profit organization?
Both legal forms and structures of these types of organizations will be differentiated, accompanied by concrete examples and objectives by Viva con Agua, to finally be set in relation with the SDGs and what this means for building a business or a brand.
It follows an introduction of the story of the NGO Love the Oceans and how it got built into what it is today. Given the importance of community involvement and community-led initiatives, a connection is established to capacity building and respect for culture to address the threats to international NGOs. Here, the focus lies on why there should be no “parachute science” and why holistic protection is the only way to create lasting change.
