📍 Colombia: Conflict dynamics have changed, but vulnerable communities are still disproportionally affected by #InternalDisplacement. In 2023, African-Colombian and indigenous communities made up 62% of the internal displacements in #Colombia's Pacific region. Our #GRID2024 spotlight explores the evolving conflict dynamics and their impact on vulnerable communities. Learn more 👇 https://bit.ly/3ScPF4R

It was a real pleasure to join so many colleagues for the Biden-Harris Administration’s announcement of Principles for High-Integrity Voluntary Carbon Markets. What’s more, we were able to bring some very important voices into the discussion, like @Roselyn Fosuah Adjei, who leads Ghana’s REDD+ Program, and Tatiana Martínez Torres, Vice President of ACOMUITA (Bribris and Cabécares Indigenous Women's Organization of Talamanca, a key partner in Costa Rica’s high-integrity J-REDD+ Program. How did this event and guidance relate to tropical forest crediting in particular? A few quick reflections as the dust begins to settle: 1. Making a market that works for all, particularly tropical forest nations and communities: If you missed Roselyn’s remarks, don’t! Please have a look and a listen to her full 5-mn remarks below. Powerful perspective and messages on the rigor and solidity of high-integrity J-REDD+ programs (16+ years in the making!); the importance of trust; and the ongoing needs to meet the supply-side where it is at – solving for ongoing pain points related to capacity building, pricing and flexible financing; high-integrity as an ongoing process of improvement, and so much more. + 1 all of it! https://lnkd.in/gJSjFhqg. 2. Fostering convergence, not confusion: There are different interpretations of “what good looks like” in today’s market. In choosing to draw on existing best practices from CORSIA, The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), and relevant decisions under Article 6, the guidance can help the #VCM community further lean in to existing and emerging approaches, consolidating common and consistent definitions for high-integrity VCMs. 3. Blueprints for high integrity tropical forest crediting: I loved to seeing the references to the Tropical Forest Credit Integrity Guide as a blueprint for advancing the high integrity criteria, through jurisdictional and nested approaches. Spotlighting the US Gov’s important role in the #LEAFCoalition, support to the #FCPF and SCALE programs in the accompanying fact sheet are also encouraging signals to see. Each has a valuable role to play in helping accelerate high integrity impacts for climate, people and nature across the tropics. Overall, a big day and an important market signal for the VCM and tropical forest crediting in particular. As further market integrity pieces begin to fall into place with ongoing developments from multi-stakeholder voluntary standards and platforms, let us keep our eye on what it’s going to take to help forest communities, governments, local project proponents and other key constituents realize the promise of high quality forest carbon finance: listening and responding with the technical and financial support needed to make the market work for the supply side, so it can work for the buy side as well.

📢 Exciting announcement: Launch of a new #climatefinance initiative in Tanzania! Could access to finance be the catalyst for adopting sustainable practices and empowering smallholder farmers to lead the transition to a more sustainable food system? 🌱🌾 In Tanzania, we are already working with #EcosystemEquity and #TARI on an innovative project in partnership with CRDB Bank Plc, a commercial bank, to pilot a climate finance mechanism that provides loans with environmental conditions to farmers who adopt sustainable rice farming practices. By adopting #sustainablepractices, farmers can significantly reduce costs, increase crop yields and improve their #financialstability, mitigating the perceived risks that financial institutions often associate with the agricultural sector. 🎉 While CRDB has disbursed the first loans, we're pleased to announce that in 2024 we will launch a complementary project, funded by #UKAID under the Reversing Environmental Degradation in Africa and Asia (REDAA) programme, to pilot a #microfinance climate lending mechanism to extend financial support to farmers who are deemed ineligible for traditional bank support. 🤝 Another local partner, TIMAP Tanzania, a NGOs supporting grassroots Community Microfinance Groups (CMGs), is involved in this adventure. Together with TARI, which provides training in the adoption of Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) standards and technical assistance from Ecoystem Equity, Rikolto will manage the project and ensure the link to the market. Our ultimate goal is to provide irrefutable evidence and a compelling #businesscase that investing in sustainability is a strategic move that benefits all actors in the rice value chain (and the planet!). 📩 Keep up to date with our progress by subscribing to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/ez7sedKe Catur Utami Dewi Charlotte Flechet djalou franco

Environmental Scientist with specialty in Hydrology, Climate change, Remote Sensing, Water Governance, and Sanitation Systems
I am excited to share with you my publication with co-authors Prof. Leonard Amekudzi, Prof Nelly Kelome, Ernest Biney, and Ernestina Annan. Under the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, with an assumption examining the period of no stringent efforts from the government to improve basin management due to political interest in a basin with alluvial gold regardless of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG’s) and the Agenda 2063 “The Africa We Want” goals implementation. What is the fate of the Pra River Basin (the fourth priority basin of the Water Resources Commission, Ghana) located in a tropical nested region that serves as a major source of water supply to communities within the basin? We looked at the trends and forecasted the land dynamics for 2030 and 2063.

This week Protect the West Coast attended a ‘Speak Out Event’ hosted by Western Cape small-scale fishing community rights activism group Masifundise Development Trust. Titled 'Silent Erosion: the slow violence of mining on the West Coast,' ahead of the upcoming Fisher People Tribunal, at the event Carsten Pedersen, from Transnational Institute (TNI), shared critical insights from their recent report ‘The Sand Worth Billions,' which focuses on mining companies' impact and in particular sheds light on how mineral sand mining activities are reshaping South Africa's West Coast. Drawing from the report, Andre Cloete from Coastal Links and Alex Hotz from WoMin African Alliance highlighted how mining has impacted fishing communities and the forms of violence that emerge from these developments. The space allowed for in-depth engagement emphasising the need for solidarity among activists and civil society organisations in the fight for social, economic, and environmental justice. Protect the West Coast hopes to make a meaningful contribution to this movement. Download the TNI report here (it makes for disturbing reading): https://lnkd.in/dTUdQ9Wa
