In a country where almost half of the population is employed in the agricultural sector, the consequences of #climatechange are set to be devastating. To prevent the climate crisis from affecting the most vulnerable communities in #Tajikistan, #Alliance2015’s members Helvetas and Welthungerhilfe have kickstarted a project to develop options and solutions that enhance the climate resilience of people and ecosystems, thereby developing pathways for their climate resilient development.

Lake Chad is an essential source of freshwater in Africa. According to the Lake Chad Basin Commission, it has shrunk by more than 90 percent over the past 60 years due to droughts and decreased rainfall.   On #earthday2024 we turn our attention to this water source and efforts by the Lake Chad Bassin Conservation project to apply nature-based climate solutions to six Lake Chad Basin wetlands sites in Cameroon, Chad and Niger.   Funded by Global Affairs Canada, the project will enhance the climate resilience of ecosystems and marginalized communities structurally vulnerable to climate change.

🌍 📸 Climate Photo of the Week on #InternationalDayofForests 🌳 The forests are disappearing before our eyes, driven by the demand of woods for construction (This photo was taken in one of the markets in #Kakuma refugee camp where poles are sold to the refugees). But as the trees vanish, so does our ability to combat climate change. It's imperative to engage the local communities in meaningful dialogue about conservation and sustainable practices such as raising awareness about the link between deforestation and environmental degradation. By fostering understanding and genuine collaboration, we can mitigate the effects of climate change and build a brighter future for all. Let's protect our planet for generations to come! 🚸 #ClimateActionNow #SaveOurForests #Reforestation #ClimateAwareness #InternationalDayofForests

📢 We invite you to join the webinar on 31 October, 14:00-16:30 (EET), to explore solutions and good practices together.📢 🌟 It is critical to link climate mitigation with placemaking, because this is how we empower communities to resist climate challenges through participatory and sustainable interventions. The Balkans, due to the common geographical and social challenges, are an ideal "laboratory" for cooperation and exchange of solutions. https://lnkd.in/dr69z7gn

Climate change affects the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places that provide us with shelter. Climate change can also impact people’s health and well-being by altering the frequency or intensity of extreme weather events and spread of certain diseases. What can we do? Join the webinar - take action!

What do we mean when we talk about climate project impact? The answers can differ widely, so it’s important to ask further questions. Using our project spotlight Rwanda Bamboo River Restoration as an example, we share how we measure and qualify this restoration project’s impact. Which dimension is most important for your climate goals? Tell us in the comments! #beyondcarbon #rwanda #climateproject #climateaction #community #climateimpact

A while back I posted ‘climate change is here, not as something that is still coming’, and yet we (private, public and individuals) are still not sure how to deal with it holistically, especially the knock-on effect. Listen to Karen King‘s example to think broader than repairing the damage caused by climate events as we have seen it happen in different parts of the country. While at it, also keep in mind that some of us are talking about this from a privileged position, how do we include everyone in the discussion? Great talk Karen King!

🌍 Happy World Environment Day! Join MarbleLeaf and celebrate World Environment Day. Led by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), this day is celebrated annually to help raise awareness and action for the protection of our planet. Hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this years campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. MarbleLeaf supports three SDG goals, which all play a role in the environment: Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Life on Land. Working towards these goals will help restore land and protect the planet from desertification and drought. #WorldEnvironmentDay 💡 Learn more about World Environment Day and how you can get involved here: https://lnkd.in/g8RBQ3q
