𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱! We thank everyone who has joined us in our journey and look forward to our 2025 continued journey together. Not Your Traditional Seasons Greeting: Our EcoChem Christmas tree is a fusion concept. Something New: Have you noticed the similarities between the colour of fir trees and avocados? Something Old: We used to light the night with fires and we still plaster homes with cow dung. While some ban cows for methane, we also know cow dung plaster is antiseptic and a good fertilizer. No we don't like the smell but some mix herbs and the bad smell goes away. Something Traditional/Modern. Thoughts for 2025: What if our building mortars were not just earth based but also bio-stabilised and non-toxic? Methane to contained biogas lamps?

It is important to take a relaxing break in between training citizen science volunteers on socio-enviromental data collection and planning for low cost methods to perform accurate biochar chemical characterization. Enjoy this musical debut from our very own Kirika Kivuti https://lnkd.in/d4C-zyze

We are committed to Bridging Urban Climate Data gaps on transition capacity for Nature Positive, NetZero construction in African cities.
Cities are at the frontline of climate change, acting both as major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and as areas highly vulnerable to climate impacts like floods, heatwaves, and storms. They also offer immense potential for solutions. We bring our World Cities Report 2024: Cities and Climate Action to COP29 Azerbaijan after we successfully launched the report at #WUF12 in Cairo. Some of the key findings include: 🔹Climate Justice in Urban Areas: A just climate transition is essential, prioritizing informal settlements and addressing structural vulnerabilities to leave no one and no place behind. 🔹Urban Planning as a Climate Tool: Climate-responsive urban and land-use planning can accelerate net-zero commitments and enhance adaptation strategies. 🔹Investing in Resilient Housing and Services: Urban infrastructure investments should integrate climate considerations, focusing on low-carbon, resilient housing, and basic services. 🔹Closing the Urban Climate Finance Gap: Cities require substantial collaboration with regional, national, and private stakeholders to address the shortfall in urban climate financing. 🔹Bridging Urban Climate Data Gaps: Reliable urban climate data is crucial for attracting funding, scaling impact, and ensuring climate action addresses vulnerable populations' needs. 📖 Download the report here: https://loom.ly/W7lJeqE

Many youth are asking us if we know of ancient writings and text on African leadership. We explain, these texts do not exist in the context of modern leadership theories such as Transformative Leadership style. Instead, we must apply the wisdom of our ancestors to the modern decision making scenarios.

Greetings Everyone! We want to inform you that this month's UHDA magazine is out and can be accessed via the link below. CSTI is featured on page 7 and 8. Also, really exciting to read Opticom's article. Looked through 2x to make sure they are a security company. YAAAAY! The type of early adopters that will shift the local real estate market towards sustainability... https://bit.ly/47LQf04
