🌍 UNCCD COP16: Progress in the Fight Against Desertification 🌍 Last week, UNCCD COP16 concluded in Riyadh, the first COP in the MENA region. While a global framework to combat desertification remains elusive, the summit made strides: 💡 €11.5 billion pledged to the Global Drought Resilience Partnership, aiding 80 vulnerable countries. 💡 Emphasis on local communities in restoration aligns with Lignaverda’s mission. 💡 Call for greater private sector engagement—an area where Lignaverda leads through corporate partnerships supporting SDG13 & SDG15. With 5,924 hectares restored so far, we’re ready to build on this momentum at COP17 in Mongolia (2026). #UNCCD #COP16 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Reforestation https://lnkd.in/gCpZUSVG

🌍 Building Resilience: The Role of Firebreaks in Forest Protection 🌍 Wildfires are a growing threat to reforestation efforts and biodiversity, especially in dry regions like Senegal. At Lignaverda, we’ve taken action by constructing 104 km of firebreaks around our reforested plots, creating a vital defense against wildfires. Firebreaks do more than stop fires—they safeguard biodiversity, protect local livelihoods, and reinforce forests as carbon sinks. With the involvement of local communities, we ensure these efforts are impactful and sustainable. Discover how firebreaks are part of our holistic approach to resilient forestry and why they’re essential in combating climate change. 🌱 Together, we can create a safer, greener future. 🌱 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/e2Hg6Ny6 #Firebreaks #Reforestation #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Lignaverda

🌍 World Of Talents Takes a Stand for Net-Zero! 🌍 We’re proud to share that World of Talents is working with Lignaverda to neutralize its residual emissions by planting 150 hectares of new forest in Senegal as part of the Great Green Wall initiative. This project not only offsets emissions but also supports capacity building and agricultural development, including the installation of weather stations to improve planting and harvesting. AI technology will further enhance the precision of CO2 capture measurements. 🌱 World of Talents is leading the way toward a sustainable, net-zero world where emissions are balanced, and local communities thrive. 🌱 #NetZero #ResidualEmissions #Sustainability #Wot #Reforestation #GreatGreenWall #CapacityBuilding #AI #CarbonCapture #Lignaverda #Senegal #GreenInitiative

🌍 COP29 in Baku: A Turning Point for Article 6 and Reforestation 🌱📊 At COP29, world leaders reached a landmark agreement on UN-backed carbon market mechanisms under Article 6. This breakthrough has the potential to transform global climate efforts, but its success depends on how it is implemented. Here is why this matters for reforestation: 🔹 Article 6 could drive impactful projects like Lignaverda’s initiatives in Senegal, which go beyond planting trees to restore ecosystems and empower communities. 🔹 Transparent standards and measurable outcomes are crucial to ensure carbon markets deliver real ecological and socio-economic benefits. 🔹 Strong safeguards are needed to prevent misuse, ensuring carbon markets accelerate—not delay—direct emissions reductions. At Lignaverda, we have spent 18 years building reforestation projects that are about people as much as they are about the planet. As part of the Great Green Wall, we integrate technology, training, and sustainable agricultural practices to create lasting impact. The stakes could not be higher. Let us ensure COP29 marks the beginning of a new era for reforestation and global climate action. 🌿 What is your perspective?
