Green sustainable cities are possible to achieve with saving our green cover only so that we can have thermal comfort and clean energy.
Forests are key to Sustainable Development 🌎 Forests within and beyond city limits are essential assets in addressing urban challenges and achieving global environmental goals. ▪ Inner Forests: These include various forms of urban greenery such as street trees, woodlands, and forested parks within cities. Their role extends to improving air quality, reducing urban heat effects, managing stormwater, and supporting urban ecosystems. ▪ Nearby Forests: Positioned in adjacent watersheds, these forests act as natural filtration systems for air and water, help control flooding, provide habitats for wildlife, and serve as recreational spaces. ▪ Faraway Forests: Located well outside city perimeters, these larger forests are critical in carbon capture, influencing global rainfall patterns, supplying natural resources, and maintaining the majority of the world’s biodiversity. Collectively, forests deliver pivotal benefits: enhancing public health, securing water quality, regulating climate, and preserving biodiversity. The sustainable management and preservation of these natural environments are vital for resilient urban development and environmental commitments on a global scale. While this image succinctly illustrates how forests contribute to several environmental-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it's important to recognize that the connection between forests and sustainable development is far more extensive and profound. Forest ecosystems intersect with almost every SDG, influencing social, economic, and environmental outcomes on a broader scale. They are vital for eradicating poverty, ensuring sustainable food production, promoting health and well-being, supporting education, fostering gender equality, and fueling sustainable economic growth.

This World Environment Day, lets talk about how climate affects women 👇 Women often bear the brunt of environmental degradation more acutely. Care to guess how? 🤷♀️ In many parts of the world, women are responsible for gathering food, water, and fuel for their families. And with the increasing scarcity of resources due to climate related adversaries, the burden grows heavier.🌾🏞️🚜 Women and children are also disproportionately affected by climate-related disasters, from increased vulnerability to displacement and health issues, which we have no- doubt witnessed in recent years. 🚺 However, its our unique perspectives and resilience position us to drive meaningful change. 💁🏽🌱 Women are often at the forefront of community-led conservation efforts and sustainable practices. Our roles as caregivers and community leaders allow us to influence and educate others about the importance of environmental stewardship. 💪 One powerful example is the role women play in sustainable agriculture. Practices like agroforestry and community gardens not only provide food security but also restore biodiversity and build climate resilience. 🌏🍃 Women in science and policy-making are crucial to developing and implementing solutions to environmental problems. Our voices bring diverse perspectives and holistic approaches that are essential for effective and inclusive environmental strategies. ✨ On this World Environment Day, I am reminded of the strength and determination of women everywhere. Despite the challenges, we continue to push forward, innovate, and inspire. 💚 Let us celebrate our contributions and reaffirm our commitment to protecting our planet. Together, we can lead the way toward a more sustainable and equitable future for all. 🤝♻️ #WorldEnvironmentDay #WeTheWomen #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment

🇮🇩 In the urgent fight against climate change, women are not just participants; they are pivotal leaders and custodians of our planet's future, protecting nature. 💡 Studies have shown significant improvements in forest conservation occur when #women are involved in forest management and decision-making. Regeneration rates and canopy growth increase, even in smaller and more degraded forests. 🌱 Their dedication prevents forest degradation, increases carbon sequestration, and protects biodiversity. Our founder, Lastiana Y., exemplifies this connection, turning her innate knowledge into action. Wisdom passed down through generations of women holds invaluable insights into sustainable living and harmonious coexistence with nature. 🌳 At Aliet Green, we recognise the power of this wisdom and honour it in our practices. 🍃 By combining environmental and social justice, Aliet Green is paving the way forward, enhancing women's lives whilst recognising their vital role in nurturing our planet 🌍 and solving the climate crisis. #WomenLeaders #ClimateAction #SustainableAgriculture #ProtectOurPlanet

"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it." – Robert Swan 🌍 We live in an ever-changing and complex world, facing multiple interconnected challenges. Millions of people around the globe lack access to basic necessities such as food and clean water, while environmental crises like biodiversity loss and climate change threaten our planet. These issues can feel overwhelming, but the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a clear roadmap to address them. 🚀 📌 The SDGs, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, consist of 17 global goals designed to tackle these pressing issues by 2030. They take a holistic approach to solving the world's challenges, visualized through the Wedding Cake Model, which organizes the SDGs into three interconnected layers—showing that economies are embedded within societies, and societies within the biosphere: -Environmental Foundation (bottom layer): Goals related to ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate (Goals 13, 14, 15) form the essential foundation for all other goals, as a healthy planet is the bedrock of all development. -Society (middle layer): Focuses on human well-being, covering goals like poverty, hunger, health, education, and equality (Goals 1-6, 10, 11). Social stability and equity depend on a sustainable environment. -Economy (top layer): Goals on economic growth, innovation, and sustainable production (Goals 7-9, 12) are achievable only with a strong environmental and social foundation. -At the top are partnerships, emphasizing that collaboration is key to achieving transformational change. Every step we take—whether by individuals, communities, or organizations—brings us closer to a sustainable and thriving planet. Everyone has a role to play in building a better future. "The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share." – Lady Bird Johnson🌱 #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalGoals #WeddingCakeModel #Sustainability
