Reporting on a finite planet

What have systems scientists recently presented compelling evidence for?

The need for regenerative impact

The need for businesses to halve their impact by 2025

Irreversible levels of global warming

Loss of over half the world's biodiversity

Which of the following is not a reason companies might be struggling to put back into the environment?

Lack of measurement tools

Lack of appropriate regulatory boundaries

Lack of reporting frameworks to measure regenerative impact

Lack of knowledge about environmental damage

Which of the following is the best definition of the theory behind planetary boundaries?

The planet is finite and infinite growth is neither possible nor desirable

Finite resources in developing countries will limit infinite growth

The planet has infinite reserves if we can understand how to regenerate them

Infinite growth is greedy and damaging

According to the article, what will happen if the planet is destabilised?

Our complex society will unravel

2 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2025

Increased rates of global warming

Increased conflict

Which of the following best describes the goal of the UN's SEEA initiative?

A guide for governments to develop natural capital accounts

A guide for businesses to develop natural capital accounts

A guide for large businesses to track regenerative impact

A guide for governments to track regenerative impacts of large businesses

Which of the following best describes the FFBB initiative?

A way of describing planetary boundaries

A way of understanding the destination (zero) and the progress being made towards it

Systems science for the environment

Another framework similar to integrated reporting

Why has the SEEA been criticised already?

Because it is too complicated

Because it has taken since the 1990s to develop

Because it is voluntary and governments can pick and choose where it drives policy

Because it does not cover all types of natural capital

What might make implementation of the FFBB difficult?

Because there are already a lot of frameworks competing for companies' attention

Because when a business uses it, they can be horrified by the results

Because it is very complicated

Because it is run by a small foundation

What might need to happen for planetary boundary reporting to work?

It will need an internationally-accepted framework

It will need to gain legitimacy as a view

The definition of what constitutes a public corporation may need to change

Large listed companies will need to get behind the idea

Why might the nature of accounting frameworks be preventing planetary boundary reporting?

Because accounting frameworks are widely accepted and planetary boundary reporting is not

Because they naturally focus on profit as a measure of success

Because they are geared towards only financial reporting

Because they are too narrow and therefore transparency, accountability, and materiality are too narrow
