Can we look forward to a new category for the most sustainable watch at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève? A watch made from locally sourced, recycled materials at a facility powered by renewable energy. The idea isn’t as far-fetched as it might sound, given the growing number of initiatives in all these areas. And every little helps. A report published at end 2021 by Global Carbon Project shows that the drop in global carbon emissions during the Covid-19 crisis was shortlived. In a global economy that is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, after falling by 5.4% in 2020, emissions rebounded to rise by 4.9% in 2021 and reach a level close to the all-time high of 2019.
