Thank you Cristina Ljungberg. Project Dandelion agrees!

Our hearts are with the people of Florida as they brace for Hurricane Milton, knowing the devastation that may follow. This is a stark reminder of the climate and nature crisis, with intensifying storms threatening lives and communities. While we cannot stop hurricanes, we can prepare for their increasing power and destruction. The path forward involves more than just rebuilding; it requires a collective response—strengthening infrastructure, updating building codes, ensuring proper insurance coverage, and facing difficult decisions about where and how we live. Project Dandelion believes we all have a role to play in mobilizing public pressure for a climate-safe world and demanding urgency as we focus on adaptation and resilience while we witness the growing impacts of a warming world. #HurricaneMilton #ClimateAction #CollectiveImpact #Resilience #ProjectDandelion #ClimateChange #Sustainability #DisasterPreparedness #Florida https://lnkd.in/gnyzBqV4

The State of Media & the Rise of “Pink Slime” Journalism In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, the proliferation of “pink slime” journalism—content masquerading as legitimate local news but often driven by political or corporate agendas—poses a real threat to the integrity of who knows we must move faster to transition away from fossil fuel if we want to solve for the climate and nature crisis. This article on solar in Ohio is a case study on misinformation with one-sided coverage funded by fossil fuel. At a time when access to accurate, unbiased information is more important than ever, the increasing spread of misleading, agenda-driven articles weakens the foundation of an informed society. Local newsrooms, long the backbone of community insight, have been gutted, leaving a vacuum too often filled by these deceptive entities. As media consumers, we must be critical when evaluating the sources of information. Let’s engage in meaningful conversations about the future of journalism and what we can do to protect the integrity of information. #journalism #mediaintegrity #pinkslime #localnews #trustinmedia #mediaecology #climatesolutions Jack Myers https://lnkd.in/gEBzxuqs

Well said Pat Mitchell! At Project Dandelion, we understand that to engage more people, we must go beyond speaking within our own circles. We need to create a ‘surround-sound system’ that reaches everyone—from policymakers to everyday citizens—to help them see a future where climate-just solutions are not only necessary but entirely achievable. Let's go

The heartbreaking toll of storms and flooding around the world reminds us of the fragility of life and the fierce urgency of action. Lives lost, homes destroyed, and communities uprooted—these are not isolated events. They are the human faces of a climate and nature crisis that touches every corner of our planet, particularly those least responsible for its cause. As we mourn the loss, we must also channel our grief into purpose. The storms are not just a wake-up call; they are a clarion call to reimagine how we live on this Earth. The time for passive awareness has passed. Now is the time for bold, compassionate leadership—especially from women and marginalized communities whose wisdom and resilience are so often overlooked. We cannot control the storms, but we can shape what comes after. In the face of climate devastation, let’s build a world rooted in justice, courage, and care. #ClimateAction #ProjectDandelion #Resilience #WomenLead #ClimateJustice

Are you a Dandelion? At Project Dandelion we understand that to engage more people, we must go beyond speaking within our own circles. We need to create a ‘surround-sound system’ that reaches everyone—from policymakers to everyday citizens—to help them see a future where climate-just solutions are not only necessary but entirely achievable. Our strategy is clear: We will showcase how women are driving systemic change in their communities, we will turn data into dialogue and together as Dandelions we will unify, amplify and mobilize with our reach of nearly 300 million women to work collectively for systematic change transforming to a climate safe world for all. https://lnkd.in/g57KdqKR

A wonderful perspective on climate week. Mary Robinson introduced us to Laura Jessie Cook, FRSGS to join the vision circle for Project Dandelion and it is such a gift to have her lead special projects —she is special and a great team mate! Thank you for the early mornings, and late nights this last week. I loved the energy created bringing together those focused on solutions committed to solving for the climate and nature crisis. You bring tremendous ❤️ to this work with joy and optimism.

Trust and solidarity are the foundation of any meaningful change, especially in times of uncertainty. Thank you to The Rockefeller Foundation who partnership and shared vision on the power of networks not only amplify our collective impact but also create a lasting bond that empowers everyone involved. In the end, real progress is built on relationships where trust runs deep and solidarity strengthens our resolve.
