This is phase 2--we ask deeper survey questions in each sector of the economy, and want your input at an in person or online session if you have specific expertise in these areas. #climateresilient #climateresilientrva Please share widely!

No tricks here - just treats. Have a climate action solution and looking for funding? The David Prize awards 5 New Yorkers $200,000 each, no strings attached, to support their vision for a better, brighter city.

A highlight of my #ClimateWeekNYC was moderating this U.S. Climate Alliance panel of State leaders who are delivering #Forests4Climate and other nature-based solutions and catalyzing the entire field in the process. From the natural and working lands practices we prioritize to how we measure them to how we make them happen at scale with policy and private finance, these States are showing the way. 🙏from American Forests.

4P models can be powerful in addressing big, global challenges. My colleagues identified 31 solution focus areas among almost 135 global climate and nature solution sets that are primed for high and immediate impact through 4P models. #wef24 #McKinseyatWEF

When it comes to #climatejustice, do you think the focus should be shifted even further towards collective action? 💬 Georg Blokus, educator and Berlin Hub director at European Alternatives, emphasizes the lasting importance of collective action in addressing climate issues, as it enables communities to pool resources, share knowledge, and advocate for #systemicchange on a larger scale. During the 2023 Allianz Foundation Summit, Blokus shared insights from his experience in the field. Learn more about our projects on #climatejustice here: https://lnkd.in/dnE7qcaN
