WESTMINSTER, Colo. (KDVR) -- A Westminster church congregation fears more spring rain after last week’s intense storms left their church flooded. “It was devastating. It was heartbreaking.

Boosting trust is key to delivering the EU’s green transition

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:08 GMT

The EU has set ambitious targets to decarbonize the economy by 2050. Citizens and businesses are committed to bold moves to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions over the coming decades.To achieve these targets and the radical changes needed in the way we produce, transport and use goods and services, one element is essential: trust.We know that consumers are confused about the right choices to make to ensure the goods and services we use are produced in a sustainable way.A bewildering range of labels claiming products are ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ can add to confusion rather than bring clarity. Challenges in verifying the accuracy and reliability of these labels serve only to undermine trust.A 2020 study by the European Commission found that 53 percent of environmental claims made by companies were vague, misleading or unfounded, while 40 percent were unsubstantiated.Like consumers, investors also need certainty that they are backing projects that will help to decarbonize the economy.Simil...

Like, it’s not all about me.”Masataka Yoshida doubled, tripled, scored on a wild pitch and drove in three runs for Boston.
