Bangladesh's Climate Advocacy: @Global South efforts in pursuit of climate justice Bangladesh has emerged as the leading voice of climate change activism in recent years, particularly in Global South. The country has shown resilience, determination, and an unapologetic stance in the pursuit of climate justice by holding the developed world accountable for its part in accelerating climate change. As a low-lying, densely populated country, Bangladesh finds itself on the frontline of climate change impacts, grappling with rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the displacement of vulnerable communities. Despite contributing minimally to the carbon emissions responsible for these changes, Bangladesh is at the forefront of advocating for climate action and justice on the global stage. https://lnkd.in/ghPxtQTz #bangladesh #climatechange #carbonemissions #greenfuture

In September ’22 we went to Nairobi to deliver a 4-day programme of capacitation workshops with creative hubs from across Africa, providing training focused on climate-related policy education, community participation and an arts & media up-skilling programme - the hubs went on to exhibit their creative responses to climate change at COP27. It was hectic, special, unforgettable, intense, but most of all - a huge learning curve! We were lucky enough to be able to head to Mombasa afterwards to catch our breath and whilst there we gave our first major international delivery some thought. Top learnings: - Always have a Plan B if you’re working somewhere you’ve never worked before. Do you have a local fixer on the ground - like if your venue (nearly) falls through at the last minute… - If you’re working with vulnerable communities, make agreements that ensure those communities are remunerated in the way THEY say is most valuable. - There are potential collaborators EVERYWHERE. Seek out those with shared values & make that international project happen. - Are there any local issues that might affect what you’re doing? Elections? Power supply? Accessibility? - Don’t rely on social media to communicate: get emails and phone numbers that work 24/7. - One for wherever you’re delivering: big isn’t always better. Global organisations are great, but weigh up if they’ll give you the insight you really need for the area you're in. If you’re working on grassroots issues, engage and work with grassroots organisations that understand the issues. https://lnkd.in/esKA2BaF

Is NZ suddenly realizing that wanting to be seen as a top tier developed nation and economy means having to be willing to act like one too...? Is this a clear case of realizing we are not who we think we are- or who we say we are? Or, do we take a longterm strategic communications view and just pay up and position ourselves where we think we should be- and as what we tell others we are and value?

Government/ Stakeholder Relations; a crucial part in policy-making in an organization which could significantly enhance the organization long-term success and sustainability. Not only fostering dialogue and collaboration, which can help build consensus among different interest groups. This is essential for gaining support and ensuring smoother implementation of policies, open communication with stakeholders promotes transparency, which builds trust in the policy-making process. When stakeholders feel heard and respected, they are more likely to support the outcomes. When stakeholders are involved in the development of policies, they are more likely to be committed to their implementation. Their buy-in can lead to greater cooperation and resource allocation. Stakeholder engagement offers more which provides a platform for ongoing feedback, allowing policymakers to adapt and refine policies in response to real-world impacts and changing circumstances. And this is what I do and the passion lead to more understanding in depth about the industries and better outcomes are given in the end of the day! #stakeholderrelations #governmentrelations #GLC #MalaysiaAirports
