A better future for people and planet depends on a just transition to environmentally sustainable economies. 1.2 billion jobs (40% of the global workforce) depend on a stable environment. By implementing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, 25 million additional green jobs could be created by 2030. To ensure a just transition for all, people must be supported and equipped with the skills needed for a carbon-neutral future. 🌍 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's commit to taking action towards a sustainable future. #ThisWayToSocialJustice #GenerationRestoration

The ratification of the 2015 Paris Agreement, supported by extensive international consensus, has elevated the importance of addressing climate change in the spotlight of the global agenda. Nevertheless, transition to net zero emissions is a complex, multi-layered and long process for all stakeholders. This transformation presents both new opportunities and challenges for businesses. Our study aims to guide companies on the green transition path and serve as a compass in this journey. We delve into two pivotal strategic approaches vital for the green transition: "Green Pioneers," who leverage innovative emission reduction technologies to unlock opportunities, and "Carbon Players," who optimize existing value chains and operational models. We have elaborated the advantages, risks and value creation options for these two strategy archetypes in our report. Click here to read our report.

Proud to share that I have completed the "Net Zero 101: What Why and How" course offered by the "United Nations Institute For The Advanced Study of Sustainability"(UNU-IAS). This program deepened my understanding of the critical need for net-zero emissions and equipped me with actionable strategies to contribute to a sustainable future. It simplified difficult climate science terminology and provided practical recommendations for contributing to climate action. Throughout the course, it gives an understanding of what net zero means and its significance, as well as knowledge of the environmental, social, and economic consequences of climate change, and what insights into actionable steps we can take as responsible citizens to achieve a net zero society. 🌍 #NetZero101 #ClimateChange #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability #SustainableDevelopment #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateAction #UNStudies

My next free workshop for sustainability professionals is on staying centred while communicating about the climate crisis! It will combine rapid journaling and prompts to help you see what unconscious ideas you may be bringing to conversations that might be getting in the way of you connecting with a colleague or community member in the way you want. This is an online session on Thursday 25 July running 10:00-11:30 BST. It’s free but you have to register for the link on Eventbrite before the day. This workshop will help you feel calm around the complexities of climate change. What I mean by that is, you’ll go beyond rationalising how you want to react to rewiring those beliefs into your brain and body on a fundamental level. That’s like the difference between telling yourself not to eat that cake, but thinking about it in the other room for the rest of the day, compared to seeing a cake, being aware of how you feel in that moment, eating some if you want to or not, and either way enjoying the rest of your day whatever decision you make. This is an event hosted by Fife Communities Climate Action Network which is a huge inspiring network of community groups working on the climate crisis. So you’ll also meet others who are dedicated to working on climate justice issues and feel like you’re not alone pushing forward these agendas. It’s going to be much more fun and enjoyable when you also anchor into a sense of collective action. I’d love to see you there! Katherine https://lnkd.in/giRiPNDX

Amidst the overwhelming challenges of climate change, it's easy to feel insignificant, like a mere drop in the ocean of global issues. Yet, remember the wisdom of Edward Everett Hale: 'I am only one, but I am one.' Each of us holds the power to effect change, to be a catalyst for a sustainable future. Let's not allow the enormity of the problem to paralyze us. Instead, let's focus on what we can do, no matter how small it may seem. Join us in taking action today, whether it's reducing your carbon footprint, advocating for policy changes, or supporting environmentally conscious businesses. Together, our collective efforts can make a difference. #Quotes #MondayMotivation #ClimateAction #BeTheChange
