💡 Juan David Alemán's business idea was sparked in a Berlin coffee shop where everything was made from reused or recycled materials. Inspired by this, he plans to launch an online marketplace in Quito, Ecuador, to promote the exchange of used building materials. 🌳 With less than one percent of construction materials being reused in Quito, Juan aims to reduce landfill waste and protect the #environment. His platform will facilitate giving, swapping, buying, and selling of materials, to prevent further pollution and preserve aquatic life. 🤝 The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH is supporting Juan to implement his business idea in Ecuador. #Innovation #StartUp #DiasporaEngagement

The Ukrainian-German initiative Mykolaiv Water Hub (MWH) is making steps towards its goals! Last week, the team held a workshop to plan the physical space of MWH in Mykolaiv. Ukrainian architect Anna Marchenko, who is currently teaching at the Alanus Hochschule für Kunst und Gesellschaft in Germany, helped MWH to identify appropriate architectural solutions. Also present was Kambysia Karl Hakim-Meibodi, an architect from Mykolaiv's partner city Hannover. Together with Wasser Hannover GmbH, he is supporting MWH to integrate innovative water technologies into the restoration of the building and street. This workshop was part of the project “Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building for Innovative Green Reconstruction, SDG 13” funded by the programme “Shaping development-oriented migration” (MEG). The goal of this project is to develop "green reconstruction methods" in collaboration with the Mykolaiv City Council and with input from German experts, focusing on innovative approaches to combating climate change, a climate-neutral way of reconstruction, water reuse and energy efficiency technologies.

🚀 How can diasporic knowledge contribute to sustainable urban development and climate resilience? Last month, Tran Hung Cuong, a special planner from Stadtentwässerung Hannover, introduced an innovative software and advanced urban drainage calculation methods to researchers at the Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering (IESE) in Hanoi. The software simulates different climate change scenarios, enabling researchers to model the impact of rising sea levels, intense rainfall, and other climate-related factors. This helps to improve emergency planning and the assessment of infrastructure investments, allowing decision-makers to evaluate the effectiveness of various measures in mitigating flood risks. 🔍☀ Together with IESE colleagues, Cuong further developed new teaching materials for hydrodynamic channel network calculations. These resources will enhance the curriculum at Hanoi University of Civil Engineering, equipping students with practical skills for urban drainage management. 👩🎓 👨🎓 Cuong’s short-term engagement in Viet Nam was supported by the programme “Shaping development-oriented migration” (MEG).
