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

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

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.

Since 2020, the GET Global Energy Transition initiative, along with the "Heroes of Our Community" has assisted almost 600 individuals affected by job terminations in the oil and gas sector. On October 27, 2023, GET recognized those employers who offered new employment opportunities for these individuals, aiding their transition into existing verticals or emerging sustainable energy careers https://lnkd.in/gefpGk-Y. GET's Board consists of more than 50 executive-volunteers, featuring a collective professional experience exceeding 500 years. They generously contribute an average of 200 hours each month providing ideas, mentorship, coaching, training, upskilling, networking opportunities and events for the benefit of our jobseekers in transition https://lnkd.in/gwjeWNZe. Their aim is to support displaced Oil & Gas professionals by guiding them toward exploring alternative verticals, embracing existing job sectors, or fostering their entrepreneurial endeavors. We acknowledge the support of very helpful and generous employers and donors who also provide jobs during the energy transition: Entergy, Microsoft, EDP Virtual Intelligence Providers, LLC and Turner & Townsend! #donate #give #charity #helpingothers #loveoneanother #peopleintransition #givingtoothers #giving #globalenergytransition #thelightoftheworld #thesaltoftheearth #giveinchristmas #helptheunemployed

A lot of the work we do benefits people and society worldwide, not just our clients. Here’s a few ways Verisk demonstrated our commitment to social responsibility: 💻 Verisk helped launch the Business & Human Rights Navigator—a comprehensive online resource for companies to better understand and address human rights impacts in their global operations and supply chains. 🌎 Verisk’s FloodScan technology was licensed to bolster the efforts of the UN’s World Food Programme. ⛈️ Verisk’s assessment of the damage done by Super Typhoon Rai in the Philippine’s resulted in a $52.5 million payout that will help the Philippine government fund recovery efforts in affected communities. #CSR #SocialResponsibility #BestWorkplaces #BestPlacesToWork #ClimateChange
