Entirely embarrassing that the country I live in is so beholden to oil and gas interests and so lacking in courage to address this sector's growth in emissions over the past 40 years. As my friend Jens Wieting says - even the USA has decreased its emissions below 1990 levels. Canada's per capita emissions are amongst the largest in the world. In the same group as Saudi Arabia, UAE and other petrostates. #COP29 #climate

Si Economics Hub thank you for sharing our most complex system map to date. It was an exciting journey to co-create this with Laudes, particularly remembering how the work had just started as Covid lockdowns hit us all. We were very lucky to have so many stakeholders of this system we all share, contributing to the work. As with all systems maps, there is no perfect representation of a system - never mind with one as all-encompassing as this. The idea was to develop a tool that could promote and support important, often difficult conversations with a shared understanding of the context in which we operate, provoke reflection and expand our thinking. For us at Nexial, we are always looking at how to encourage radical collaboration across the board, creating much needed dialogue on how we can work together with coherence and force. The Laudes Foundation team was an admirable partner in recognising the need for this work and in taking on such an ambitious springboard to develop their 5-year strategy. We would love to hear ideas, questions or just reactions, so if you go onto the digital platform, watch the videos, click around and please do get in touch.

El Director del Tratado de No Proliferación de Combustibles Fósiles, Alex Rafalowicz, recientemente participó en una conversación con el Ministerio de Ambiente de Colombia 🐾🌎 Escuchar para aprender sobre la relación entre la biodiversidad y los combustibles fósiles, y cómo puedes participar en COP16. 🔥

This event will, no doubt, shed light on the great risks associated with the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry. Understanding the consequences of increased production is crucial in addressing the climate crisis. Demand/ consumption interventions are key but not enough. The need for action on the supply side, to avoid locking in future emissions, is urgent. Join this event to learn more about the importance of a fair transition to a new economy. The media must get savvy on the science and the systemic implications of what we already know - the good and the bad. We’ve got power - let’s use it!

Good news Friday!

Declare it and treat your decisions as emergency appropriate.

Nexial is pleased to support the Praxis Institute's Transformational Leadership Program, working with social change and sustainability professionals who are facing transformational challenges that require new ways of seeing, being and doing. The program is set up to equip leaders with key skills to address complex sustainability challenges. At Nexial we know how urgently these skills are needed in our systems. Delivered through six in-depth online modules, the program fosters a peer-learning environment that integrates personal, collective, and systemic change. Tailored for both emerging and established leaders, the initiative focuses on enhancing leadership capabilities and connects participants with a community dedicated to driving impactful change. For more information and to register (before July 31st) visit: https://lnkd.in/gw8iectt

𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗽 "Forests are a lifeline to ecological health and the well-being of communities worldwide, but forest loss and degradation, alongside other environmental challenges, has led to a worldwide crisis. Meanwhile, the world’s urban population is projected to double by 2050. To meet the needs of this growing population, humans must build a city the size of Paris every week. But with the building sector currently generating 42% of climate emissions, using traditional construction techniques for these new buildings will create a climate emergency." A Climate Smart Forest Economy is a holistic approach for the forest and associated value chain management that can maximize climate and economic benefits while meeting social and ecological safeguards. Do you want to know more? Explore the Climate Smart Forest Economy System Map - https://lnkd.in/erGsgMSs - that Nexial developed together with Climate Smart Forest Economy Program (CSFEP) and its partners Dalberg Catalyst, Climate-KIC, Axum. The map is a community tool for all those working to create climate smart forest economies, so they can tell stories, plot strategies, and imagine scenarios for the redesign of our economic systems, and for planning how we can transition to more equitable and sustainable ways of operating. It also introduces some of the work CSFEP has been doing to achieve that purpose.
