🌍 Happy World Environment Day! 🌍 Today, we honor the dedication and tireless efforts of conservationists worldwide who are committed to safeguarding our environment. Their work, often carried out in remote and challenging conditions, is vital for the health of our planet. At the Hempel Foundation, we are proud to champion these environmental heroes by fostering capacity building and knowledge sharing. 🤝 Last year, in collaboration with the Whitley Fund for Nature, we supported the Winner Network Development Program in Brazil. This initiative brought together #WhitleyAward winners from across Latin America, fostering an invaluable exchange of ideas and experiences. Listening to these conservationists' testimonials underscores a critical message: enhanced knowledge sharing among individuals and organizations can greatly amplify the effectiveness and pace of environmental impact. ✅ With this in mind, we are thrilled to support the continued commitment of the Whitley Fund for Nature to bring their partners together for shared learning. This year and next, we are funding their Winner Network Development Programs, bringing together extraordinary conservationists in other key regions. 🙌 A special thanks to our partner, Whitley Fund for Nature for their great work and thanks to IPÊ - Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas, for empowering conservationists and exemplifying organizational growth and development in Latin America and beyond.💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #HempelFoundation #WhitleyFundForNature #Conservation #Sustainability #capacitybuilding #knowledgesharing #GenerationRestoration David Emmett Cláudio Pádua Suzana Padua Pedro Fruet Fernanda Abra

Our research is delving into how effectively local communities are engaging in these critical restoration efforts. Understanding their involvement is key to creating sustainable and impactful solutions. 🌱💪 Key aspects of our assessment include: •Effective local engagement needs a continuing process, not one-off action. •Poor devolution of power can be a barrier to effective local engagement. •Administrative interpretation of unclear tenure can affect local engagement. •Top-down decision-making can limit the achievement of local goals. By amplifying local voices and integrating their insights, we aim to foster more resilient and thriving forest ecosystems. A big thank you to all the community members, partners, and stakeholders who are contributing to this vital work! 🙌 Checkout the full publication at the link

Civil society's involvement in the blue economy for ocean governance encompasses advocacy, research, community engagement, innovation, and collaboration. Their efforts involve raising awareness, gathering data, and monitoring marine ecosystems, which inform decision-making processes. They also collaborate with coastal communities, fostering sustainable livelihoods and empowering locals in governance. Through innovative approaches and technology, these groups pioneer sustainable ocean practices. Moreover, they facilitate partnerships among various stakeholders to address shared challenges and promote sustainable development. In summary, civil society's contributions ensure the blue economy is managed sustainably, benefiting marine environments and coastal populations alike.

Sustainable business practices are aligning with business profitability. Our region is bringing our considerable resources to bear on this opportunity.

Sustainability is a business growth opportunity. Cleveland companies are actively innovating in key sectors such as EVs (for land and air), alternative energy (solar, wind, nuclear, and hydrogen), sustainable materials ... and so much more.

We are excited to meet everyone tomorrow at the "Blue Equals Green - How Water Quality Impacts Your Business' Bottom Line" event hosted by the Greater Naples Chamber and sponsored by the Collier Community Foundation. To learn more about our Water Quality Study ahead of time, please see this link: https://lnkd.in/gcDHjxsi About the Study: To address growing concerns around the health and vitality of our waterways, Captains for Clean Water, Conservancy of Southwest Florida, and Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation enlisted Greene Economics to conduct a thorough analysis of the economic repercussions of degraded water quality. This pivotal study aims to translate the ecological impact into tangible economic figures, offering a clearer perspective on the stakes involved. The study also shines light on how good water quality has a positive economic impact and that projects and policies that improve water quality will pay off through a more robust economy.

Brooklyn Grange is an example of green urban community which used a space to recreation of community by means of green involvement. Green roofing and urban food require special location preparation and adaptation. Former industrial sites are best candidate location for green roofing. But beside obvious decarbonization efforts and energy effects new location community creation is notable aspect of sustainable growth in 21 century. You have heard how Europe sustainable corporate development Directive promotes socioeconomic involvement of corporations with citizens and local communities and in deployment of biodiversity preservation projects but just like reforestation these projects might involve green infrastructure growth of cities and communities. Young and old people say in this New York project have formed community and bridged a conventional generation gap.  https://lnkd.in/dawb_uvB

At Moonjelly Foundation, we're pioneering a new era of conservation finance, inspired by the principles of trust and community. Our approach, reminiscent of the slow-food movement, focuses on building deep, personal relationships and reducing administrative burdens to empower grantees to focus on their crucial work. We're creating a Conservation Impact Network, connecting conservation organizations and community groups through trust-based relationships. This network is strengthened by our Pay It Forward Scaling, where partners support new members, enhancing our collective impact on conservation. Our efforts are already making waves in regions like the Cook Islands and Latin America, where traditional knowledge and conservation practices are being revitalized. We aim to grow an indigenously-led Conservation Impact Network, proving that trust and collaboration can lead to significant environmental progress. We invite you to be part of this transformative movement. Together, we can scale trust-based conservation to new heights. #ConservationFinance #Moonjelly #SustainableFuture #PayItForward
