World Environment
Day 2021
WED: The Global Event
World Environment Day, is an annual United Nations event held

on 5th June every year since 1974.
World Environment Day (WED)

provides a global platform to
raise world-wide awareness and
to inspire positive change and
action towards protecting and
improving the environment.

WED: A Saipem Event
Every year since 2010, Saipem celebrates the WED at its sites and offices
across the world to spread awareness to all the colleagues and among
their work teams, families, friends and all their areas of influence.
The activities on this occasion have expanded each year with a considerable
increase in people’s participation.
In 2020, We celebrated Decennial of World Environment Day
at Saipem

WED: Theme 2021
The theme for WED 2021 is “Ecosystem Restoration”, which also marks
the beginning of the United Nation’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
(2021 to 2030).
Hosted by Pakistan, WED 2021 focuses on reimagining, recreating and

restoring our ecosystem which is about halting and reversing the damage
done to nature.

WED 2021 in Saipem
Earth’s eco-system is affected by Climate Change.

Thus, eco-system restoration is also about taking
climate action. There is a strong interconnection
between the two aspects.
Saipem considers WED 2021 as an opportunity to introduce to all the

colleagues around the world, also in relation to the Paris Climate
Agreement, the issues related to climate change and the strategies and
implementation plans to achieve "zero net emissions" of greenhouse
gases, arisen by our assets and operation.

Ecosystem
Restoration
THEME 2021: ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION
What is Ecosystem?
Ecosystems are defined as the interaction between living organisms

with their surroundings. Ecosystems support all life on Earth.
Only a healthy ecosystems can help end poverty, combat climate

change, and stop the collapse of biodiversity.
The UN Decade (2021-2030) on Ecosystem Restoration is a uniting call

for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, for
the benefit of people and nature.

Ecosystem and Climate Change: The Connection
Climate change is increasing air and water temperatures, altering precipitation

patterns, intensifying many natural disturbances, affecting species distribution
and survival, and changing ocean chemistry, among other impacts.
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
(IPPC) warned that
allowing the planet to
warm more than 1.5 °C
could have long-lasting
and, in some cases,
irreversible
consequences for
ecosystems and that
this threshold will be
passed by 2030 if
current rates of warming
continue.
|11
Ecosystem and Climate Change: The Connection
To reverse the climate change impact on ecosystem, the natural ability of

ecosystems to withstand or recover from pressures must be strengthened
while halting the further degradation of ecosystem. Intact, extensive, and
connected ecosystems have better prospects for resilience than degraded
ecosystems. On the other hand, ecosystems mitigate climate change by
removing the greenhouse gas CO2 from the atmosphere.
In recent years, roughly a quarter of CO2 by

human activities has been taken up and stored
in the plants and soils of terrestrial ecosystems.
Nature based solutions that provide

climate benefits include
reforestation, avoided deforestation,
coastal wetland restoration, and
agricultural soil management.
|12
Types of Ecosystem
The forests, farmlands, lakes, rivers, mountains, oceans and coasts, are all
variety of Earth’s different ecosystems.

Types of Ecosystem
FOCUS on MANGROVES
Mangroves are one of the most productive and diverse ecosystems on the
planet, without which, 39 per cent more people would be flooded
annually. Mangroves provide exceptional carbon storage - three to five
times that of tropical forests
Link
Mangroves are under threat. Climate change, logging, agriculture,

aquaculture, pollution and coastal development are all eroding their habitats.
Over 67% of mangroves have been lost or degraded to date.
|14
Facts & Figures: Farmland Ecosystem
Farmlands cover more than 30% of earth’s land surface.
 Intensive ploughing and cultivation practice, excessive use of fertilizers,

overgrazing, has reduced the fertility of soil.
 Use of pesticides are harming wildlife including bees that pollinate many
crops.

Biodiversity within Ecosystem
All species, including humans, depend for

their survival on the delicate balance of life
in nature. Yet biodiversity—the diversity
within species, between species, and within
ecosystems—is declining faster than it has at
any other time in human history.
The current rate of extinction is tens to

hundreds of times higher than the average
over the past 10 million years—and it is
accelerating.
Although the world’s 7.6 billion people represent just 0.01% of all living
creatures, humanity has already caused the loss of 83% of all wild mammals
and half of plants.
Estimations says between 200 and 2,000 extinctions are occurring every
year.

Whales are important for carbon sequestration

Due to both their size and swimming patterns, whales increase the ocean’s
ability to absorb CO2 and at the same time act as living carbon sinks that
store CO2 in their bodies.
On an average each whale

sequesters 33 tons of CO2,
when it dies and sinks to the
ocean floor
Phytoplankton productivity,
which is enhanced by whales
captures 37 billion tons of CO2
per year

Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement is a legally binding

International treaty on climate change
adopted by 196 Parties at the 21st Conference
of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris, on December
2015 under the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC).
Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5
degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels (1850 -1900 AD).
In the same year (2016), Saipem joined UN Global Compact presenting its
commitment towards Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDG), especially the
Goal 13 for climate action.

What does the limit of 1.5 - 2 degrees Celsius mean?
Since the pre-industrial period, human activities, primarily the burning

of fossil fuels that releases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and
other greenhouse gases: Water Vapor (H2O), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Ozone
(O3), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs) into the
atmosphere, have increased Earth’s global average temperature by
about 1.2 degree Celsius, a number that is currently increasing by 0.2
degrees Celsius per decade.

What does the limit of 1.5 - 2 degrees Celsius mean?
Reports by United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

(IPCC) states that, at 1.5 degrees Celsius warming, climate-related risks
to human health, livelihoods, food security, human security, water supply
and economic growth will all increase, and will increase even more at 2
degrees warming.
Therefore, holding the increase of global average temperature well

below 2°C and limiting it to 1.5°C significantly reduces the risks and
impacts of climate change.

Net-Zero
“Net-Zero” emissions means when the amount of emission released into
the atmosphere equals the amount being removed or captured.
Example: let say, 100 tons of CO2 are being discharged into the
atmosphere by a company, then the company needs to take
action to offset that CO2 by funding an equivalent CO2 saving
elsewhere such as planting trees, activating renewables and
carbon capture.

To avoid the worst impacts of climate

change, it is necessary to bridge the
emission gap
"Near-term actions include scaling up
existing technologies and businesses to
reduce GHG emissions over the next decade,
accelerating innovation and investment to
enable reductions after 2030, and investing in
research and development of technologies
that will complete the transition to climate
neutrality by 2050.“,

Emissions Gap
The gap between estimated future global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if
countries implement their climate mitigation pledges and the global
emission levels from least-cost pathways that are aligned with achieving the
temperature goals of the Paris Agreement is known as the ‘emissions gap.’
In other-words this is the difference between “where we are likely to be and

where we need to be.”

ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION
How may I contribute ?
Our planet is facing multiple interconnected crises caused by human behavior.
We are depleting the planet’s resources. Climate change is affecting us and all
species, damaging ecosystems and leading to unprecedented environmental
degradation. 2020 was the hottest year on record. One million species are
at risk of extinction. The long, alarming list goes on. If we continue to live
the way we do today, we will need the resources of three earths by 2050.
“It’s human nature to want to do something

when you’re confronted with a problem—
especially one as big as climate change. The
good news is that there are things everyone
can do. Although the most impactful steps
we can take to avoid a climate disaster
must happen at the governmental level,
you have power to effect change as a
citizen, a consumer, and an employee or
employer”, Bill Gates

Consume Sustainably
Buy eco-label
Try a diet, based on seasonal,

Reuse and swap products sustainable and plant-rich products

Deforestation for everyday products - The issue of Palm Oil

Today, palm oil is the most produced vegetable oil in the
world, almost half of the palm oil imported into the EU
is used as biofuel.
Day after day, huge tracts of rainforest in Southeast

Asia, Latin America and Africa are being bulldozed or
torched to create space for palm oil farmland, which
destroys the living biomass causing a decrease in natural
carbon sinks and a subsequent increase in net carbon on
the planet. Forest habitats are displaced; endangered
species such as the orangutan, Borneo elephant and
Sumatran tiger are being pushed closer to extinction.
Oil palm plantations currently cover more than 27 million
hectares of the Earth’s surface: “green deserts” containing
virtually no biodiversity on an area the size of New Zealand. On a plantation in West
Kalimantan in Indonesia, oil palms
have replaced forests
Let’s stop buying palm oil and any consumer
products that is not sustainably sourced |69
Reduce your own footprint
