🌍 Communities for Climate (C4C) Initiative: A Call to Action! 🌿 The European Commission launches the Communities for Climate (C4C) pilot action, an initiative aimed at fostering local community-led projects across the EU. This initiative is not just a call to action but a testament to our collective resolve to pave the way for a sustainable future. Link to the call for applications: https://lnkd.in/eGuKqnkH 🎯 What’s at Stake? C4C is looking for 50 innovative projects in 11 EU countries that are set to change the game in renewable energy, sustainable water management, circular economy, and biodiversity conservation. This is a unique opportunity for communities to become lighthouses of change, showcasing replicable models of citizen engagement and climate action. 🛠 Support on Offer: Selected projects will receive a bespoke support package, including expert advice, a €1000 lump sum for study visits, networking opportunities, and significant visibility at EU, national, and local levels. This is more than an initiative; it's a partnership to amplify your efforts and impact. 🙌 Who Should Apply? If you're part of a community-led group, a civil society organization, a local authority, or even a passionate individual working towards climate resilience and sustainability, we want to hear from you! Your project could be the catalyst for broader change, inspiring others across the continent. 📅 Important Dates: Application Deadline: 3 April 2024, 23:59 CEST Project Implementation: June 2024 - March 2025 This initiative represents a critical step forward in our journey towards a greener, more resilient Europe. Your engagement and innovation can drive us closer to our climate goals. 🌱 #CommunitiesForClimate #ClimateAction #SustainableEurope https://lnkd.in/d_m8wg2k

A secret weapon in the fight against climate change lies beneath the waves as Pacific Island nations face rising sea levels, extreme weather events and coastal erosion. These marine ecosystems, known as blue carbon, have the remarkable ability to capture and store carbon dioxide. Now, Monash University Master of Environment and Sustainability student Megha Kezhakepuram Purushotham ( she/her) - in collaboration with Fiji National University A/Prof Shalini Singh - is exploring how this untapped resource can empower island nations. Read how Ms Purushotham's work for our Pacific Islands for Climate Transitions (PACT) research centre, will help blue carbon realise its full potential at https://lnkd.in/g24TqfqD #PACT #ClimateChange #BlueCarbon #Sustainability #ClimatePolicy #ClimateAction

🍃🌊 "Natural #ecosystems store immense amounts of #carbon and every year, about half of human carbon dioxide emissions are neutralized by forests, #wetlands and marine habitats...Similar to the #carbonneutral transition, it is urgent that we also embrace the #naturepositive goal so as to build a #sustainable future for all." 👉 Read Nature Positive Initiative convener Marco Lambertini and Umweltbundesamt - German Environment Agency President Dirk Messner, both #CCICED Council Members, in China Daily on the importance of China-EU cooperation to tackle urgent #climate and #environment challenges. https://lnkd.in/dnYbSxY2

By providing a financial incentive for climate-friendly projects, they can help to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy- Here are some of the benefits of VCMs: ● They can help to finance climate-friendly projects that would not otherwise be viable ● They can help to reduce greenhouse g as emissions. ● They can help to create jobs and promote economic development. ● They can help to protect biodiversity and improve air quality.

How Will Youth Shape the 12th World Wilderness Congress? 🌳 Join us on a journey through the stories of inspiring young individuals who are shaping the landscape of nature #conservation. Their passion for environmental preservation, evident in their remarkable initiatives, serves as a beacon of hope for the future. Today, with CoalitionWILD, we introduce Carly LEUNG, from Hong Kong, entrepreneur, climate advocate, and educator. Dive into her insightful projects, his active participation in #biodiversity and climate conferences, and discover why youth presence in such forums is a catalyst for change. 🗣️ “(...) The issues we face today, such as #climate change and biodiversity loss, will have a profound impact on the future of our planet. Therefore, the voices and perspectives of the youth are essential in shaping the decisions and actions taken at these conferences. (...)” Find the article here: https://lnkd.in/eh2jkW6c #forthewild

Continuing to look back on our 2023 highlights, today we are looking at climate. The need to tackle climate change and nature loss is becoming increasingly urgent. It is one of our strategic growth drivers and we will play our part in tackling the climate and biodiversity crisis by investing in leading-edge environmental technology and solutions. We will continue delivering low-carbon energy and environmentally beneficial infrastructure and housing. https://bit.ly/4a7vZWv

Pleased to attend a dialogue session at WWF-Singapore’s Earth Hour Summit to commemorate Earth Day 🌍. We discussed the need for businesses to integrate climate resilient strategies into their decarbonisation efforts and how policymakers can support businesses in doing so. In fact, the National Business Survey 2023/2024 highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in tackling rising costs and immediate business concerns. It is important for all stakeholders to collaborate and innovate in this green transition. We can tackle climate change with our collective efforts! 🤝 #EarthDay #Sustainability #ClimateChange

An excellent article by Peter Thomson in TIME Climate change and our Ocean are intrinsically linked: “The realities of our planetary responsibilities, and the absolute moral imperative of intergenerational justice, hopefully imbued with love, oblige us to start living in better balance with the world, to stop making war on nature, to make peace with it, and thereby to stop the decline in the ocean’s health. There can be no fulfillment of the Paris Agreement without the ocean. To meet the 1.5°C goal, the world must make a massive pivot towards investment in ocean science, innovation, and the development of a truly sustainable and socially responsible ocean economy. We must make that pivot as if our grandchildren’s lives depend on it, because for many of them, that will be the case.” https://lnkd.in/eynnyx99
