Climate Asset Management’s Post

Dear Community! It's a pleasure and honour to be part of the speakers of this incredible group of Women and Climate, all actively collaborating to drive change and uplift our society. Each one of us brings a unique set of experiences and expertise to the table. As to my own journey, I've been deeply involved in the field of water management in buildings, particularly focusing on decarbonization through the integration of innovative technologies such as Thermodynamic Solar Panels. Water is and will always be the most precious recourse, so we need to implement more solutions in the entire water usage cycle which allow us to live in a more sustainable way. We need to be more efficient, more eco-friendly, and more cost conscious.  I have realized that as women, we often bring a different perspective and more resilience to the forefront of these challenges. Our collective efforts are not only driving change but also inspiring future generations of women to pursue careers in green engineering and science.  Together, let's continue to push boundaries and create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. Here's to the power of collaboration and the undeniable force of women leading the way towards a better world.  If you want to know more, you may have a look at their LinkedIn page. #womanempowerment #collaborations #watermanagement #speaker #leadership #climatechange #descarbonization #CO2reductions #enernouva #womansustainability #sustainability #waterisimportant #construction #energiegcc #sustainability #greenfuture #engineering #innovations #renewalenergy #solarpanels #Dubai #UAE #buildings #hotels #GM #events #savings #CO2 #thermodynamicsolarpanels #greenenergy #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableFuture #InnovationInWaterManagement

🍂🌿 New report: "Seeds for Harvest: Funding for Gender, Climate, and Environmental Justice." After the COVID pandemic, the onslaught of wars and genocides across the world, the rise of authoritarianism, acute polarization, and extreme changes to our climate systems, the world has transformed significantly in recent years. Although the climate crisis affects everyone, the effects are far from equal. Systematically marginalized groups located in the Global South and East are the most affected, suffering the burden of unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, diverse inequalities between countries, discrimination, and various forms of oppression. Against this backdrop, women, gender-diverse groups, and Indigenous peoples continue to organize and drive political change within their communities, countries, and regions. By developing and implementing strategies, alternatives, and solutions that bravely and boldly care for people and the planet, they lead the fight for the protection of their lands and territories and stand up to governments and corporations in defense of life—safeguarding land, oceans, biodiversity, communities, and natural resources. 
 👀 Unfortunately, these groups are underrepresented 
and underfunded. In 2018, we published ‘Our Voices, Our Environment: The state of funding for women’s environmental action.’ The report showed that only 0.2% of all foundation grant dollars reached groups working at the intersection of women and the environment. 🍂🌿 Five years later, in collaboration with the Global Greengrants Fund, Prospera International Network of Women's Funds , the Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN), and the Global Alliance For Green And Gender Action (GAGGA) we have published ‘Seeds for Harvest: Funding for Gender, Climate, and Environmental Justice.’ Grounded in a renewed sense of hope, resilience, and possibility, our latest report provides a powerful understanding of the state of funding for gender, climate, and environmental justice work while underscoring the significant need for and lack of funding. 🏞️ Through data analysis, case studies, and the identification of trends and opportunities, we showcase the funding landscape for gender, environmental, and climate justice movements and provide valuable new insights into the current funding landscape. The report underscores the need to collectively pay attention to and drive resources to activists in countries and regions directly impacted and neglected. Remarkably, this is also the most effective, impactful, and sustainable way of responding to climate collapse—by building systems of resilience, accountability, and longevity from the ground up. 📎 Link -> https://lnkd.in/dt3XfEXF

Last week, we had the honor of hosting a panel of leaders in sustainable finance, who are making significant strides in the decarbonization of portfolios and the real economy. I remain optimistic, though increasingly convinced that asset exclusion is not the solution to an orderly transition. Instead, financing climate solutions and transforming brown assets requires a financial sector that links climate outcomes with financial performance, regulation that does not stop at climate-related disclosures, and enhanced data management systems.

🌍 Celebrating Women Leading the Climate Battle 🌱 In the complex equation to solve our global crisis, we must consider climate, biodiversity, resources, and the human factor. Today, let's shine a spotlight on 8 incredible women at the forefront of the climate battle.

Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, 21 October–1 November 2024 - Colombia To the delegates of COP16, Women’s land rights are fundamental to recognizing and prioritizing their vital role as the primary guardians of biodiversity. Women have long been at the forefront of sustainable land use and natural resource management, safeguarding ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, preserving seeds, protecting forests, ensuring sustainable water use, and passing down traditional knowledge that fosters environmental resilience. However, their contributions are too often undervalued due to a lack of secure land rights, limiting their power to make impactful, long-term decisions for conservation. We urge COP16 to recognize and protect women's land rights as a core strategy to combat biodiversity loss and ensure climate resilience. Secure land rights for women will not only uplift their voices but also strengthen biodiversity protection efforts worldwide. By affirming these rights, we empower women as stewards of biodiversity, enabling them to continue their invaluable work for future generations and paving the way for a sustainable and equitable planet. #women'slandrights

Special Announcement and Invitation: Women at the Frontline Leading Climate Action and Innovation We are very pleased to announce a new Climate Bridges - WE Build Bridges for Climate & Sustainability partnership with Giving Women as the leading organization and host, together with Project Dandelion, Pictet Group and many other partners in the lead up to the special global climate event taking place in Geneva on October 3rd, open to online participation from around the world. Join us on the 3rd by registering here https://lnkd.in/etHXiQRQ and spread the seeds of hope ! Women most affected by the climate crisis and environmental devastation also lead the conversation and the action towards a sustainable future. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in underserved communities: droughts, floods, and desertification threaten their livelihoods, food security, access to water, and forced migration. Many of them hold solutions rooted in tradition and community, yet their voices are often absent from the climate conversations. In its 11th annual conference, Giving Women will rewrite the narrative on climate change, featuring women in the driving seat, as powerful actors of change. Engage in a powerful dialogue with change-makers and women on the frontlines, experts, NGOs, activists, and global policy leaders as we uncover existing solutions and chart a path forward for a more sustainable future.   We’re bringing together a powerful force for change: - Women leading the fight: Hear directly from those on the frontlines, finding solutions every day. - World-renowned experts: Learn from leading minds in climate action and discover existing solutions that work. - Action-oriented collaboration: Reflect, strategise and identify gaps with all stakeholders – NGOs, UN agencies, philanthropists, private sector leaders, and foundations.   Together, we will: - Shine a light on successful solutions ready for replication. - Bridge the gap between existing initiatives and new needs. - Chart a path forward to a more sustainable future.
