As global energy demand intensifies, the transition away from fossil fuel-based generation becomes increasingly urgent. Currently, over one-third of greenhouse gas emissions originate from the combustion of coal, oil and other carbon-intensive energy sources. This reliance not only underscores the finite nature of traditional fuels but also presents a significant long-term risk to climate stability. To align with decarbonisation targets and mitigate the systemic impacts of climate change, institutional focus is shifting toward the acceleration of renewable energy deployment.
Sustainable energy infrastructure is now recognised as a critical asset class, offering both environmental benefit and long-term resilience in a transitioning economy.
To reduce CO2 emissions, mitigate the effects of climate change, and meet an ever-growing energy demand, it is essential to promote renewable energy sources. The most popular sources of renewable energy are wind, solar, and hydropower. However, energy can also be harnessed from biogas and biomass plants using animal dung or organic residues. The certified climate project generates the necessary resources to drive the expansion of sustainable technologies throughout Asia. This scheme contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Since 2021, The TRADE has been working in partnership with eco-friendly printing specialists, Park Communications, currently considered to be the most environmentally friendly printer in the UK. Together we produce climate neutral print magazines using vegan based inks, FSC® certified paper and carbon neutral packaging produced from sugar cane. In addition, each publication is manufactured using 100% offshore wind electricity sourced from UK wind, while 95% of press chemicals are then recycled for further use and, on average, 99% of any waste associated with the productions will be recycled; and the remaining 1% used to generate energy. Our print partners are ISO 14001 certified, and work to EMAS, the EU ‘gold standard’ for eco-friendly businesses.
If you are interested in subscribing to The TRADE Magazine, annual print subscriptions and individual back issues of the publication are available to purchase via our online store.
