Resilience to Nature's Challenges’ Post

Our webinar with Prof. Patrick Devine-Wright (University of Exeter) is just around the corner! Next month, Patrick will be joining Prof. Peta Ashworth OAM for a discussion of key social considerations of decarbonisation. 📅 Tuesday 14 May ⏰ 16:00 - 17:00 (AWST) 📍 Online via MS Teams 🎟 https://lnkd.in/gAZvcUea Climate change policy targets necessitate rapid and deep decarbonisation of energy sectors globally. In this talk, Prof. Devine-Wright will critically discuss the challenges this poses for policy and practice, and for social science. Collectively, social science frameworks and principles can recast technology deployment as an act of place-making. They have the potential to deliver greener, fairer and more resilient communities, and ensure social science research contributes to, rather than undermines, just energy transitions.

"What is the value of water❔ " - this was the first question that came up at our #Webinar this week hosted by Ioana Dobrescu. A short session packed with information on transitioning to a water secure world that really got all the participants thinking and questioning. This is the very first webinar on our new and upcoming initiative "Water Footprint Compensation"! Our webinar kicked off with a brief introduction to our work at Water Footprint Implementation. Participants were then introduced to the Compensation concept, got an exciting sneak peek at our digital project platform, and explored several pilot projects in South Africa, Palestinian Territories, Netherlands, and UAE. 🎤 Key Highlights: -Insightful discussions with representatives from UN Environment Programme, the Indian water sector, and Delft University of Technology. -Exploration of practical tools and resources available for water security initiatives. -Possibilities and opportunities of adding new compensation projects to our initiative. We're immensely grateful to all the participants for making this an engaging and enriching session.🤝 Don't miss out on our next webinar on June 20th!

👉What happens when a huge risk is not perceived as a risk? 👈 £$€ Trillions get washed down the drain (literally) £$€ If you work in construction, weather risk is a problem, a big one. Our recent global survey of construction professionals however, saw a scarily high percentage believing that climate change is a problem for 15 years time and not now. This perception gap and other incredible insights will be the topic of discussion at an upcoming webinar EHAB is co-hosting with Deltek. On 26 March 2024, 4pm GMT Join Rob Edwards, Joao Dias and Josh Graham to discuss climate, risk perceptions and new tools and integrations to help Navigate the Storm.
