The #ColoradoRiver is shared among seven US states, two Mexican states, and 30 Native American tribes, providing water for more than 35 million people and supporting farms, cities, and ecosystems. However, overallocation and #ClimateChange have led to an increasing water deficit. Action is needed from private, public, and philanthropic sectors to ensure #WaterResilience. The Pacific Institute is working to advance #CorporateWaterStewardship in the Basin by demonstrating the need and potential for CWS, driving greater alignment between all sectors, and highlighting and helping to scale good practices.

https://lnkd.in/eeSHe2d3 The story around sustainable development and transformation is best told by project beneficiaries. - There is no greater act than that of a people transforming their own realities, from a development investment. - There is no greater voice than that of a beneficiary, positively impacted by the volunteerism of a neighbour. Well Done #CDB, #CDEMA and Davy Hill Action Group #PeopleFirst

At WRS, we believe that our success is intrinsically linked to the well-being of the environment and the communities we operate in. This commitment drives our comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, focused on three key pillars: Environmental Sustainability: We actively reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through initiatives like emPOWERing Africa (expanding renewable energy access) and improved cookstoves in Uganda (combating deforestation). Employee Well-being: We foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment that prioritises employee well-being and empowers our people to excel. Community Engagement: We actively engage with the communities we touch, supporting them through fundraising, volunteering, and raising awareness for important causes.

Environmental and climate justice are important issues in our society. The EPA recently released a Notice of Funding Opportunity for Community Change Grants to advance environmental and climate justice. Two of my colleagues published this excellent article on these grants and they mean for the public, private and non-profit sectors. Have a look! https://lnkd.in/e6vBXDyZ

ICYMI: Great piece by Environment Funders Canada. It explains the Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) model, highlighting its appeal as a conservation finance instrument that is Indigenous-designed and led, and therefore upholds Indigenous rights and governance. PFPs are more than a means to deliver durable conservation outcomes; they are "an investment in community health and well-being, food security, language and cultural revitalization...and sustainable economic development". 💡 Did you know over 10 EFC members have pledged, granted, or are contemplating grants between $50,000 and $10M to one or more of the four new PFPs? Yet, there is still room to crowd in additional capital from the philanthropic and private sectors in support of visions set out in these PFP. Philanthropic funding can indeed be catalytic, and blended finance approaches can ensure long-term funding for the management and stewardship of these vast lands.

At Kent Community Foundation, we recognise that many social issues are intertwined with environmental impact. That's why we're encouraging our grant applicants to consider the planet when planning their funded projects 🌎 From reducing energy consumption to enhancing local green spaces, there are many ways your organisation can make a positive impact. We understand that making projects and activities 'climate smart' and nature-friendly may be new territory for many voluntary organisations so we have put together some guidance which includes further resources and support: https://lnkd.in/eadyMUyk #funding #sustainability #communityaction #environmentalimpact

Restoration of Forest Ecosystems is equally considered as a nature-based solution to address environmental challenges communities are facing today in Zambia. Healthy ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and grassland play a pivotal role in sequestering carbon, mitigating climate change impacts. At Climate Protection Zambia, we thrive to engage interested partners and stakeholders to join us in the efforts to renewing degraded ecosystems, enhancing their resilience and maximizing ecosystem services for community co-benefits.
