🌎 April is Earth Month so we are spending the month digging into Nature-based Solutions (NbS)! 🌿 What are Nature-based Solutions (NbS)? 🤔 They aim to address a societal challenge using the restoration or maintenance of natural systems to benefit humans and the environment. That last part is key! Solutions that aid ecosystems at the expense of humans are not true Nature-based Solutions. In the coming weeks, we will look at case studies where some so-called NbS fall short of this definition, as cautionary tales. ⚠️ Throughout Earth Month we will be bringing you a variety of educational content to cover NbS from as many different angles as possible. This will include everything from definitions, statistics, and case studies, to pop-culture connections and media "greenwashing" literacy tools. We also wanted to point you towards the Nature-based Solutions Initiatives' "Case Study Platform" which collects and describes NbS occurring all around the world. Be sure to check out this site at bit.ly/nbs-casesearch to find inspiration for your next eco initiative. 🌱 🌎 There is much more conservation and climate content to come this month so be sure to follow Student Energy and visit https://lnkd.in/gFVKbrjp to start your sustainable energy journey today! #NatureBasedSolution #NatureBasedSolutions #NbS #EarthMonth #Youth #StudentEnergy #SEFellowship #GuidedProjects #ClimateJustice #JustTransition #SustainableFuture #YouthEmpowerment #YouthLed #EnergySupply #CleanEnergy #Renewables #Solar #Wind #Hydro

Environmental Education by Clear Sky! One of the most significant projects we are developing is a building set that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving in children. We've named the project Clear Sky. We've worked closely with educators and students to develop a product that is fun and engaging, but also educational. With the Clear Sky project, we are not only envisioning sustainable cities; we are also educating the minds of the future. Each little house, with its breadboard and solar panel, is an opportunity to teach young people about the importance of renewable energy and environmental sustainability. It's a way to inspire the next generations to become leaders of change and advocates for our planet. In our video, we will take you on a journey through a visionary green city, where little houses, solar panels, and wind turbines blend harmoniously to create a sustainable and breathtaking urban landscape. With houses lighting up thanks to solar energy and wind parks generating clean power, this city is a shining example of how innovation can transform our built environment. #SustainableFuture #EnvironmentalEducation

🍃 The LIFE Programme stands as a prominent #EUfunds supporting pivotal research initiatives, addressing pressing issues of our era, particularly in the realms of environmental and #climateaction. For those engaged as beneficiaries or contemplating the submission of a #proposal, here are key considerations for the year 2024: 🔸 This February 2024 marks the release of the most recent wave of LIFE-funded projects, encompassing both Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) and Strategic Nature Projects (SNAPs). 🔸 Anticipate the publication of the LIFE 2024 calls for proposals on April 18, 2024. Virtual information sessions, guiding potential applicants, are scheduled from April 23 to 26. 🔸 Keep an eye out for the #LIFEAwards 2024, set to coincide with the #EUGreenWeek, with the exact date soon to be disclosed. 🔸 In June, LIFE will host the European Sustainable Energy Week under the theme 'Net-zero competitiveness driving EU energy transition.' Applications for participation are currently open. For comprehensive details, please visit ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dDqiaMMV PPA CONSULTORES actively collaborates in various consortiums, overseeing the coordination, exploitation, communication, and dissemination of diverse initiatives funded by various EU-funded programs, including #LIFE. Let's collaborate! CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency - European Climate, Infrastructure, and Environment Executive Agency https://lnkd.in/dDqiaMMV

Our third Ontario College and University Sustainability Professionals conference session focused on energy and climate. Attendees toured the campus with Jonathan Rausseo to see the steps we are taking to reduce energy use as we strive to achieve net zero emissions. Afterwards, we launched into an energy-themed panel with representatives from Ecosystem, Universities Canada, and the City of Ottawa. Together, we discussed the challenges and opportunities for reducing our campus carbon footprints. Key topics included: 🏢 Building retrofits: retrofitting small to large facilities, emphasizing energy efficiency, decarbonization, and community/stakeholder engagement. 🤝 Community energy planning and collaboration: how municipal energy management and urban planning can intersect with institutions for mutually beneficial outcomes. 🌟 Net zero efforts: existing actions institutions are taking to work toward achieving net-zero emissions. Thank you to our panelists Geetha Paonam, Sandra Boisvert, and Mike Fletcher. #Sustainability #SustainableBuildings #GreenBuildings #Energy #OCUSP
