We're now part of a community of over 100,000 certified Carbon Literate citizens! 🎉 The Better Business Network provided 20% of the Tribe with The Carbon Literacy Project training. Those involved intend to train the whole company, so we're all able to understand our individual and collective impact on the planet, within our working environment and for all humankind for generations to come. This movement has saved approximately 360,000 tCO2e – equivalent to driving 921 million miles or 36,986 trips around the Earth’s equator! 🌎 It's not just a certificate, it represents a cultural shift that is not only anticipated but already ensuing. We recognise the pressing need to be more green. Take a look for yourself: https://loom.ly/8eborMs #carbonliteracy #carbonliteracyproject #globalwarming #carbonimpact #carbonfootprint #BCorp

I'm proud to be part of the #CLinAction competition, celebrating over 100,000 certified Carbon Literate citizens! As part of my Carbon Literacy pledge, I’ve committed to using public transport and active travel to reduce my carbon footprint. Every small step counts, and today, I’m putting my pledge into action by taking the train and walking to work. Being Carbon Literate isn’t just about awareness—it’s about making real, everyday changes that contribute to a more sustainable future. Let’s keep the momentum going and inspire each other to live more sustainably! What’s your Carbon Literacy pledge? Let’s see it in action! #CarbonLiteracy #SustainabilityInAction #PublicTransport #ClimateAction

A shared value approach to ensure long-term sustainability and social well-being. Nature value cannot be monopolized by investors -again-. This time wealth redistribution must be a priority.

Indigenous Peoples and/or local communities in the Global South highlight #CarbonCredits as essential for channelling finance into their regions, where they play a critical role in preserving ecosystems. However, to ensure these investments are both effective and sustainable, they must respect the rights, sovereignty, and leadership of Indigenous Peoples and/or local communities. ✅ In our blog, we explore: 🔹Protecting Rights and Knowledge: Indigenous Peoples and/or local communities safeguard 40% of the world’s ecologically intact landscapes. Our Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) ensure investments are grounded in free, prior, and informed consent, with transparent benefit-sharing. 🔹Inclusive Governance: Dedicated seats for Indigenous representatives in our governance structure ensure their voices are heard and integrated into the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). 🔹Delivering Real Benefits: High-integrity carbon credits offer them access to critical climate finance, fostering both conservation and sustainable economic opportunities. At the Integrity Council, we’re building a framework for a just, inclusive, high-integrity VCM - one that puts respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and/or local communities at its core. 🌱 🔗Read the blog to discover how Indigenous leadership can drive the future of carbon markets: https://lnkd.in/eM4JZ4iT

📌 Day 2 of the Energy Services Planning Workshop Multi-stakeholder engagement during the energy planning process is key in fostering more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive communities. #EnergyAccess #EnergyPlanning #EDModel #SDG7 #JustEnergyTransition

Last week the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the recipients of $20 Billion in grants to mobilize private capital and deliver clean energy and climate solutions to communities across America. As part of the grant awards, a Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (worth $6 billion) will be established. This accelerator will create a national financing network for clean energy and climate solutions across various sectors. It will ensure that communities have access to the necessary capital to participate in and benefit from a cleaner and more sustainable economy. This national clean financing network will provide funding for tens of thousands of projects, aimed at mobilizing private capital to reduce climate and air pollution. The network will also help to reduce energy costs, improve public health, and create good-paying clean energy jobs in communities across the country, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities.

Today marks Carbon Literacy Action Day 🌏- a global opportunity to deepen our understanding of carbon footprints, climate change, and the role each of us can play in driving positive change. As we see the mounting impact of climate change on our planet, it’s clear that informed action is more crucial than ever. I’m personally committed to educating myself further about carbon literacy, complementing the sustainability initiatives we’re pursuing at resource | sustainable creativity  ♻️ Carbon literacy is more than just understanding the science of emissions; it’s about connecting that knowledge to our everyday choices, work and community. 🌲 💧 Here at resource | sustainable creativity, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword - it’s embedded in our operations, strategies, and values. Consulting on sustainable print practices, our goal is to help organisations minimise their environmental impact. But there’s always more we can do, and that starts with deepening our knowledge about how we impact the planet.

🔗Carbon markets must uphold the rights and voices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. For carbon markets to be effective and equitable, they require robust principles, including free, prior and informed consent, alongside strong social safeguards. Recent initiatives in the Asia-Pacific, including RECOFTC's regional knowledge exchange, highlight the importance of inclusive decision-making and capacity-building for Indigenous People and local communities. Empowering communities to navigate carbon markets is essential for achieving both climate goals and social justice. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gsEcrwdH
