Microplastics Are Warming the Planet From the Sky (Plus This Week's Top 10 Sustainability Stories)

This week in sustainability, there are things happening that most businesses aren't paying attention to — yet. Microplastics in the atmosphere are contributing to climate warming. The Iran war is driving renewable energy investment faster than any climate policy ever did. Carbon removal is moving from pilot projects to billion-dollar infrastructure. And the EU's deforestation regulation just had its compliance costs cut by 75%.

In this video, we break down the top 10 sustainability stories of the week ranked by what the world is talking about most — with a clear lens on what it means for businesses with serious climate commitments.

We cover: microplastics and atmospheric warming, AI energy consumption's missing 98%, the EUDR simplification, GHG Protocol's first CEO, 82% of companies holding their climate targets, three major carbon removal deals, France's fossil fuel exit roadmap, and why the Iran war is the unintentional accelerant for the energy transition.

Plus the three most mind-blowing environmental facts of the week.
