🌍 On this International Day of Clean Energy, we should remember that tackling climate change goes beyond reducing emissions — it’s also about how we communicate its urgency and potential in ways that truly resonate with people. Clean energy solutions need more than innovation; they need voices to amplify their impact, stories to make them relatable, and campaigns to inspire action. By making the voices of climate advocates heard and ensuring groundbreaking initiatives stand out, we can drive the collective action needed to create a sustainable and equitable world. For us, this commitment runs deep. Through collaborations with visionary organizations like Philips, United Nations University, European Investment Bank (EIB), European Commission, and Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE), we’ve had the privilege of amplifying initiatives that drive real impact: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dfShpF4D We’re proud of what we’ve achieved alongside these incredible organizations and excited for future collaborations that will help us get closer to a greener, healthier planet. 🌱 What actions inspire you most in the fight against climate change? Let’s start the conversation below 👇

Its #WorldOceanDay ! We currently face one of the greatest threats ever to our #BluePlanet and all its inhabitants: the climate crisis. It is all too clear that we need a healthy ocean for a healthy climate, and vice versa, and we need significantly stronger local, national, and international action from both government and corporate leaders. Now. For 2024, the theme is "Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate". By growing the movement through transformative collaboration, the aim is to create not only a healthy blue planet, but also a more just, equitable and sustainable society. Together, we can persuade national legislators and corporate leaders to follow through on their promises and all the big talk about doing the right thing, specifically: * make the best use of all existing climate solutions; * accelerate a just transition to clean and renewable energy; * stop fossil fuel extraction, including oil, gas and coal; * rapidly and equitably phase out its existing production including for single use plastics; * collaborate with and amplify the voices of local leaders who are working to implement action within their communities; * protect and restore natural coastal and ocean ecosystems (and on land) by creating strongly protected areas covering at least 30% of our lands and waters by 2030; and * keep on creating more solutions at the local, national and international levels that are based on the best science By collaborating in transformative ways, we can create a healthier and more abundant future for all.

As Climate week in New York draws to a close, the challenge now remains to put Climate into Action and driving the Climate agenda and transformation of our Province into a Environmental sustainable one, will only be possible if we work together as Inter-Governmental structures, Private Sector, NPO's and Civil society. As Heritage month is already upon us let's build on the same momentum that our freedom fighters and ancestors have done in preserving Nature, and keep our environment clean. Below are some of the highlights of which has also been adopted within the Department’s strategic framework: 1. Climate finance and investment are key. 2. Engagements with all stakeholders are critical to the Green economy. 3. Climate Agenda is everyone's business as floods, pollution, heatwaves, storms, drought and food insecurity affect us all. 4. Innovation and technological advancement to transform into a green economy e.g. Electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions. 5. Waste management, landfills, and Buy-back centre's plays a key role to the waste economy and job creation. 6. Measurement Reporting and Verification tools are key to measure our goals. As habitants of our beautiful and diverse country all of us need to think differently in terms of the raw materials we use to manufacture or produce and what the effects of our actions are, on the environment! #ClimateAgenda #Climateweeknyc #GrowingGautengTogether

Carbon markets often spark intense debate—but it turns out there's far more alignment than we might expect. The latest Trellis Group piece highlights numerous areas where both proponents and opponents of carbon markets agree. From the importance of robust standards and transparency to ensuring climate, biodiversity, and social benefits, there's a clear path forward if we build on this shared understanding. 🔍 The graphic below illustrates just how much common ground exists—proof that collaboration is not only possible but essential for progress. Even for the most pragmatic carbon credit opponents, this should be enough common ground to find practical solutions. Constructive dialogue can win the day if we can meet halfway, and bold companies are ready to stand behind carbon markets as a viable, practical climate solution. 🔗 Check out the article for a thoughtful perspective from Lucy Almond on breaking through polarization and moving carbon markets forward: https://lnkd.in/erd_SDYv What stands out to you from these areas of convergence?

Note to evaluators: This overriding perspective should be the fundamental frame of reference for any evaluation.
Educator, systems thinker, partner and alliance builder for the future of a living Earth and human culture
While the mainstream conversation about our planet’s future is heavily dominated by the topic of climate change, there are other systems which are just as critical to consider when thinking about the health and livability of our world. Just like climate change, each of these systems has its own limits within which humanity and the biosphere can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come. However, each also has a critical tipping point - known as a Planetary Boundary - past which Earth’s systems may no longer be able to self-regulate or remain the comfortable and predictable home in which we’ve spent our entire history as a species. In this episode, I speak with environmental scientist Johan Rockström to unpack his team’s work on Planetary Boundaries and the pressure that humanity is putting on them. Watch: https://lnkd.in/gr9vSqcB How do these critical systems work to regulate the stability and resilience of the biosphere, and how do we measure their health and tipping points? What are we risking as we continue on our path towards pushing each of these interdependent systems past the point where they can continue to function? Is it possible to reverse the damage that consumptive, growth-based systems have already done to our planetary home and prevent further destruction? Johan Rockström is an internationally recognized scientist on global sustainability issues. He led the development of the Planetary Boundaries framework for human development in the current era of rapid global change. He is a leading scientist on global water resources, with more than 25 years experience in applied water research in tropical regions, and more than 150 research publications in fields ranging from applied land and water management to global sustainability. In addition to his research endeavors, which has been widely used to guide policy, Rockström is active as a consultant for several governments and business networks. He also acts as an advisor for sustainable development issues at international meetings including the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conferences (UNFCCC). Professor Rockström chairs the advisory board for the EAT Foundation and is a member of the Earth League and has been appointed as chair of the Earth Commission.
