💥💥𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍💥💥 Transitioning from climate science to action is necessary because: 📌Urgency of the Issue: Climate change is a pressing global crisis that requires immediate response. Simply learning the science without taking action does not address the critical need to reduce its consequences and adapt to existing changes. 📌Impact on populations: Climate change disproportionately impacts the most disadvantaged populations, aggravating existing inequities. Action is required to defend livelihoods, health, and well-being, especially for the most vulnerable. 📌Responsibility to Future Generations: Taking action is a moral imperative to keep the world habitable for future generations. Failure to act will create a legacy of environmental degradation and hardship for those who follow us. 📌Opportunity for Solutions: The shift from science to action provides an opportunity to implement solutions that address climate change while also promoting sustainable development, innovation, and economic prosperity. 📌Political and Social Will: Addressing climate change requires both political and social will. Translating scientific knowledge into effective policies, behaviors, and advocacy initiatives is critical for building support and driving significant change. 📌Worldwide Cooperation: Climate change is a worldwide issue that necessitates collaborative action. Transcending from science to action encourages collaboration across borders, cultures, and industries in order to identify effective solutions and achieve common goals. 📌Hope for the Future: Understanding the science of climate change might be difficult, but taking action brings hope and empowerment. Each individual action helps to the larger effort to address the crisis and create a more sustainable and resilient future. 🎯In conclusion, transitioning from climate research to action is required to address the issue's urgency, meet our moral responsibilities, seize solution opportunities, organize political and social will, encourage global cooperation, and inspire hope for the future. #arisetoaction #itisurgentlyrequire #saveourplanetfrombeingdestroyed #stopclimatechange Kindly like👍, comment 💬 & repost🔄 for all to see and ACT.

For all climate advocacy players out there. “Not all #policy #demands and #actions have the same potential to create the changes needed to mitigate climate change. So, it’s important to understand to what extent different demands have the #leverage to create change in the system.(…) the results highlight the lack of attention on #public #health related topics of #transport and #food #systems.” Compliments of Swinburne University of Technology Sydney https://lnkd.in/d_wbbUxP

https://lnkd.in/g-Umaexk #JaneGoodall: #Vote for #Leaders Who Will Preserve the #Natural #World https://lnkd.in/gkrNSGnB ..."This year, as Dr. Jane Goodall celebrates her 90th birthday, she continues to travel the world with her unwavering message of hope. In this same pivotal year, numerous countries are holding elections. The encouraging news is that many candidates committed to environmental stewardship are stepping forward, pledging bold actions to slow climate change and halt biodiversity loss. Jane’s message has never been clearer: we all have the power to make a difference with our vote. For the first time in her lifetime of advocacy, Jane is amplifying her call to vote for candidates who truly prioritize our children’s future through our “Vote for Nature” campaign. This call to action comes amidst a landscape of pressing issues—economic challenges, immigration debates, and the fight to protect democracy. While these concerns are critical and deserve attention, many of them are solvable within shorter timeframes. Addressing the environmental crisis is a long-term endeavor, requiring a sustained, collective effort to confront what many consider to be the greatest existential threat to life on earth. Governments, industries, scientists, and individuals must collaborate to reduce threats and begin reversing the damage. We have a window of opportunity, but we must act now and together, for that window is closing. ... As many countries head to the polls this year, we have a chance to shape a world where the environment is protected, cherished, and preserved for generations to come. These elections are among the most critical of our lifetime, offering hope for a brighter future. If you share Jane’s passion for nature, vote for candidates who prioritize the fight against climate change and are committed to safeguarding our natural world. Together, we can hold our leaders accountable and ensure that the environment remains a top priority. Let us join in fulfilling Jane Goodall’s 90th birthday wish: a global commitment to “Vote for Nature.”...

Grassroots efforts need to be supported by strong national policies. Governments must regularly review and revise climate action plans, integrating climate resilience into key sectors like agriculture and infrastructure. A comprehensive national adaptation plan should align with international commitments and include cross-sectoral coordination. Clear roles and responsibilities must be defined to ensure accountability and contribution from all sectors—energy, transport, health, and education. Long-term success depends on fostering behavioral changes at the community level. Public awareness campaigns should highlight the benefits of climate-friendly practices such as energy conservation and sustainable agriculture. Communities must be engaged through participatory approaches, allowing individuals to contribute local knowledge to climate solutions. Civil society and religious leaders can promote environmental responsibility, helping to build a culture of stewardship. Climate change adaptation is not just a policy issue but a societal transformation that requires active participation at every level. By building capacity, fostering accountability, and promoting grassroots action, resilient communities can be developed to face climate challenges. Governments, institutions, and civil society must work together to create a comprehensive framework for climate action. Ultimately, collective responsibility and sustained grassroots efforts are the keys to a more resilient and sustainable future.

I help Climate Collapse aware Professionals maximise their impact, find confidence and clarity through individual coaching and group facilitation. Born at 320.58 PPM CO2
Co-operate - a new network for professional climate aware women in Oxford will launch on Tuesday 17th September. (For more info, follow the link) Curious? Is it worth giving up your free time for? Well, We won't be standing around in a room full of people we don't know wondering how to make small talk. (What could be worse?) We'll probably have labels - so you don't need to go through the embarrassment of not remembering the name of someone you know you know. We will have some things to focus the attention. We might talk about where we're at personally with the climate crisis right now and where we'd like to be. We will talk about what matters most to us and what we'd like to hear more about. By the end of the evening - we'll have met some women from all different sectors - publishing, conservation, local government, academia, campaigning....and talked about stuff that matters - we'll have set the world to rights and had a few laughs in the process and maybe - we'll have a list of questions we might like to ask and attempt to answer at future events Here are some of my questions, but maybe yours are different: - Do we still need academics to do research or do we know enough already? - What would we do if we acted as if climate collapse was real? - Do women really have some skills which are particularly useful to bring about the system change we need? - if so what are they? - Can COPs work? - Does nature conservation need a makeover, or is it precisely the cuddly animal pictures that draw people in? - What's racism got to do with climate change? - Why do we have food banks and what's that got to do with climate change? I hope that's whetted your appetite. If you can't make this one but you want to have some input into our next events you could comment below or DM me. If you've been meaning to get a ticket, you've got just one week left - as long as tickets last. There's been a steady flow of women buying tickets but there are still some left. https://lnkd.in/eM2U-k4s #climatecrisis #womennetworking #climatechange #Oxfordshire (picture by Alexander Suhorucov on Pexels)
