@Harvard University's Climate Action Week is a commendable initiative. It's crucial for leaders in every sector to engage in this conversation. As a health software service company, we understand the intersection of health and climate is undeniable. We've seen firsthand the impact of environmental factors on public health. What steps can other industries take to mirror the commitment to sustainability shown by the healthcare sector? #ClimateAction #Sustainability #PublicHealth #Innovation #Leadership

🙌 Many thanks to Porticus and WYNG for organizing an enlightening workshop featuring the esteemed Professor Johan Rockstrom. As someone who has followed his groundbreaking work, I was thrilled to engage in thought-provoking discussions. 🚀 My Key Takeaways: 1. Ocean Resilience: The workshop highlighted a concerning trend—the ocean’s diminishing capacity to absorb heat and carbon since 2023. This unprecedented phenomenon isn’t adequately factored into current climate forecasts #OceanResilience. 🌊🔥 2. Integration Matters: Let’s break down silos! Climate mitigation and adaptation should not be treated as separate entities. Instead, they must intertwine seamlessly. 🌍🤝 🌎Urgent Call to Action: The stakes are high, and we can’t afford complacency. It’s time for bold climate actions—from individuals, organizations, and policymakers alike.

Do climate policies actually work? 🌍 👀 The effectiveness of global climate policies has been ranked for the very first time, offering critical insight into what's driving real change and what’s falling short. It's clear that holding leaders and policymakers accountable and pushing for stronger climate policy do make a difference. Our HERO Circle mobilizers are driving impact locally, but we need to go even bigger!

Are We Measuring What Really Matters in Corporate Climate Action? The response to Futerra’s ‘Spheres of Influence’ framework has been huge, and we’re excited to keep the conversation going! Join us and Oxford Net Zero (ONZ) for a deep-dive webinar on Monday, November 4th to explore this new approach that recognizes and incentivizes companies to drive climate impact beyond their carbon inventories. This webinar is for those looking to: Understand the Spheres of Influence approach and how it expands on traditional carbon accounting. Get more insights following the recent Harvard Business Review article, which outlines how companies can make a bigger difference in decarbonization. Access a recording of our Solutions House NYC session from Climate Week for even more context. 🔗 Register now and join the conversation on how we can start measuring what truly matters! 🗓 Date: Monday, Nov 04 ⏰ Time: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM GMT / 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM ET

The National Climate Governance Summit (NCGS) 2024 brings together leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to collaborate on practical strategies for advancing climate governance. To make these valuable insights more accessible, we’ve highlighted the expertise shared through panel discussions, interactive sessions and case studies, providing individuals and organizations with effective strategies to tackle today’s climate challenges. Thank you for being part of the summit. You can watch the YouTube recording here: https://lnkd.in/gVD_nzqv We look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. #climategovernancemalaysia #NCGS2024 #Climatechange #Climateaction #Sustainability

🌍 **Climate Action and Imagined Futures: A Scenario-Based Dialogue** 🌍 **Matthew Finch, Malka Older, and David Robertson** In an innovative and thought-provoking dialogue, the authors explore the question: "How might future scenarios nourish our thinking about climate action?" Using the Horizon Europe funded IMAJINE programme's scenario for European regional inequality in 2048 as a lens, each author brings their unique disciplinary and professional perspective to the conversation. Key discussion points include: 1. **Understanding Climate Change**: Examining how each scenario frames our comprehension of climate change. 2. **Risk and Responsibility**: Addressing present and future considerations of risk and accountability. 3. **Creative Thinking**: Utilizing scenarios to highlight current blind spots and inspire innovative solutions. 4. **Sustainable Good Life**: Reevaluating our concepts of sustainability and identifying overlooked vulnerabilities. In the second part, the authors engage in a reflective exchange, critiquing each other's viewpoints, exemplifying the "art of strategic conversation." This polyphonic dialogue underscores the value of scenarios in fostering open spaces for mutual uncertainty, exploration, and innovation. **Conclusion**: Scenarios and structured dialogues like this can enrich our understanding and approaches to climate action, supporting an ongoing process of collective inquiry and creativity. 🌱📚🔍 #ClimateAction #FutureScenarios #Sustainability #InnovativeThinking #StrategicDialogue

This is how #climateadaptation becomes successful: Today at 11 a.m., the Cluster of Excellence for Climate Research CLICCS at the Universität Hamburg published the new study "Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024". #Climatechange is forcing people to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The #report shows what really makes the difference is how they do it and that, in the long run, only sustainable adaptation can succeed. The study also shows that the combination of climate change and natural climate variability is already severely affecting ecosystems as well as economy and poses greater risks for the future. The conclusion of this year's report: Successful climate adaptation must be thought of in the long term, developed with the local population and aligned with #sustainability goals. At the same time, efforts must be increased to reduce climate-damaging emissions.

Navigating the complexities of 2023 has been a collective challenge, from climate crises to the aftermath of the pandemic. As 2024 unfolds,the key to sustainable progress lies in successful policy coherence, where policymakers can align their priorities, paving the way for breakthroughs and establishing strong foundations.
