"We have to start thinking of electricity as a system and not as distinct components, that's when real efficiency kicks in." – IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Vice President Vimal Mahendru during #COP29. This approach is at the heart of how standards are helping drive the #EnergyTransition. By aligning strategies across industries and sectors, we are building a more efficient, sustainable energy future that benefits everyone. 📺 ICYMI- check out this Standards Pavilion session and more: https://ow.ly/6Onw50U81CY #EnergyInnovation #COP29 #StandardsPavilion #ClimateAction #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateStandards

♻️Putting ISO Circular Economy Standards into Action The Qingdao Municipal Government is wrapping up a regional training workshop on the new ISO #CircularEconomy standards in Qingdao, China. Co-organized by Qingdao and ISO and supported by SAC, our workshop featured 30+ participants from 7 ISO members across East, Southeast, and South Asia. 🌱 Participants from both public and private sectors learned about the benefits of ISO 59000 standards, which promote sustainable practices by encouraging reuse, repair, and recycling. The workshop also covered communication and marketing strategies to raise national awareness about the circular economy. 💡 Building on a successful first edition earlier this year, these workshops are part of the ISO Action Plan for Developing Countries (APDC) 2021-2025, reaching 14 countries and 65+ participants. Circular economy standards (ISO 59000) guide organizations towards sustainability, helping reduce environmental footprints and improve resource efficiency. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to promote a circular economy globally! 🌏✨ Learn more about #CircularEconomy ➡️https://lnkd.in/dUD7YKYT #Sustainability #ISOstandards #SustainableFuture Circular Economy by ISO
