Dear Sustainability-L members,

We are pleased to share with you our April edition of Sustainability Newsletter.

IN FOCUS: Why Corporate Emissions Matter?

Despite the much talked about corporate sustainability reporting becoming a popular reporting mechanism to reduce environmental footprint across leading companies, a recent study finds that 51 of the top 100 companies surveyed emit unsustainable levels of carbon emissions.

This shows that what the company reports as leading to 'sustainability performance' does not lead to sustainability in real terms!!! Click here to read more...

Subject: Tracking Group Positions at the OWG on SDGs

Dear colleagues,

In the lead-up to and during the last session of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, I completed a significant amount of work tracking various government positions. As I've finished excising useful pieces for my various projects, I thought I would share some of the most potentially useful information with this listserv. 

To view my notes on the latest positions of the G77/China, the LDCs, and the African Group, as well as a quick compilation of who-said-what about civil society participation, see my blog: http://territoryunchartered.blogspot.com/2014/05/tracking-open-working-group-its-target.html

Hope it's helpful! 

Best,

Kathryn
