Il rapporto IISD incoraggia l'adozione di standard di sostenibilità volontari come il Better Cotton nel settore del cotone dell'Asia meridionale (in Italian)

Un nuovo studio dell'Istituto internazionale per lo sviluppo sostenibile ha incoraggiato il settore cotone della regione ad accelerare l'adozione di norme di sostenibilità volontarie. La mappatura dei criteri di VSS e del potenziale di mercato dell'IISD ha rilevato che le iniziative operanti nella regione, tra cui Better Cotton e Fairtrade, possono aiutare a risolvere i problemi relativi alla gestione dei parassiti, alla gestione delle acque e ai redditi degli agricoltori. La relazione si è concentrata sul settore del cotone in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh e Sri Lanka. Dal 2008 al 2018, l'Asia meridionale ha contribuito per il 30% circa alla produzione globale di peli di cotone. La relazione ha rilevato un potenziale di mercato significativo per i VSS che operano nel settore del cotone.

It's one of 12 fossil fuel reserves researchers in the journal Energy Policy have identified in Canada — called "carbon bombs" — that would each release a billion tonnes or more of carbon into the atmosphere if their resources were extracted and burned. This would be catastrophic for the world's efforts to slow rising global temperatures, the authors argue.
