Ecosensya Solutions for Environmental Sustainability

This post tells of the importance of our water cycle and trees to effectively cool the climate. 🍃 Thanks Rob de Laet for explaining so well 😊 At ecosensya, we’re tackling the water cycle side: building with nature to restore the parts of it which are broken through simple nature-based solutions that induce microclimate cooling, build carbon sponge, and recharge our drying groundwater supply. 💧 Let’s restore our water cycle together. Get in touch with us today to find out how! 📩

At this rate, we’re already headed towards a +2 deg C warming - so we need to cool the climate FAST within the next 10 years if we want to reach the paris agreement guidelines for +1.5 deg C warming and prevent catastrophic heat extremes. Water cycle restoration is a powerful way of bringing nature back to equilibrium and combatting the extreme heat from global warming. 🔥 With 95% of the Earth’s heat dynamics attributed to water vapor in the atmosphere, there is a growing WATER MOVEMENT to restore our large and small water cycles through the use of nature-based solutions! Get in touch with us as we fight the good fight for climate and our country, all through water cycle restoration 🇵🇭💧

This short video illustrates the consequences of unsustainable groundwater extraction to the tilting of the earth. 🤯 🍃 That's why at ecosensya, we're working hard to restore our water cycle through groundwater recharge and water banking using nature-based designs that help accelerate nature's natural repair process. Get in touch with us to learn how you can implement simple nature-based groundwater recharge designs in your own farms or backyard!

🌍 Nature-based solutions + grey infrastructure = A Sustainable Future! 🌱💡 Did you know that blending nature-based solutions with engineered infrastructures isn't just a possibility—it's a necessity? In a world where urbanization is on the rise, we need innovative approaches to tackle challenges like flooding, the urban heat island effect, and our carbon footprint. India, a country facing both flood risks and water scarcity, is showing us the way forward by merging green and grey infrastructure. 🌧️💧 Discover how integrating green spaces, lakes, and wetlands with traditional concrete solutions can reduce flood stress, recharge groundwater, and cool our cities—all while cutting costs and emissions. 🌿🌆 Don't miss out on these game-changing insights! Read on below and get in touch with us how we can pursue nature-based solutions together in the Philippines👇 #Sustainability #UrbanPlanning #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateAction

In our first ever joint collaboration with Stimson Center of Washington D.C. and the Ocean Policy Research Institute - Sasakawa Peace Foundation of Tokyo, Japan, we conducted a 2-year long vulnerability assessment of Dagupan City, a coastal city in the Philippines highly susceptible to floods, liquefaction and climate risks, using the Climate and Ocean Risk Vulnerability Index (CORVI) developed by Stimson Center. In this study, we highlight the top 3 risks Dagupan City faces - these being centered around climate, geology and economy - and give priority recommendations related to climate resiliency planning, nature-based solutions for wastewater and the diversification of blue economy industries to help build stronger climate resilience for the city. With the successful undertaking of the study, CORVI can now be more easily scaled to more coastal cities around the nation to help map out key risks and drive priority recommendations to highly vulnerable sites. Read on below to learn about our findings and how we can scale CORVI to more coastal cities all around the Philippines! 🌊

When it comes to talks about water and climate, something gravely overlooked is the water cycle itself. We tend to see water as different parts of a whole: either as stormwater that needs to be controlled, rainwater that can be harvested, flood waters that need to be pumped out of cities, or freshwater that is used for drinking and day-to-day needs. But if we want to solve climate change and increase our freshwater supply, we have to begin thinking and acting like water as a whole: as a water cycle. And one of the most important relationships in the water cycle is the precipitation-evaporation loop aka moisture recycling. 🌦 Moisture recycling has long been taken for granted in the climate narrative, but we think it's high time it is recognized for its powerful ability to increase freshwater resources all around the world. Read on below to find out what moisture recycling can do for our climate and water resources, and how we can induce this effect on a local-scale!

In our first article, we breakdown the 5s that coastal cities need to integrate into their city planning and development agenda to achieve climate resilience - taking root in the climate work we conducted for Dagupan City in 2023. As DENR Secretary Loyzaga stressed, there is a "need to have urgent and responsive means to implement adaptation, not just mitigation, and also pursue loss and damages" caused by climate change." Therefore, to achieve ecological integrity from ridge to reef with adaptation in mind, 5-Ss are needed: 1) Science to help in different decision-making levels 2) Scale recognizes the importance of cities 3) Stakeholders to acknowledge the need for whole of government and society 4) Synergy of stakeholders to work together in the most optimal fashion, and 5) Strategies created and has to be done together. Read on below to understand the challenges Philippine coastal cities typically face and the opportunities they should prioritize to achieve ecological harmony and resilience. 🌴

we've relaunched our website! 🍃 check out ecosensya.com to learn more about how we can create water surplus for the Philippines through nature-based water cycle restoration action! 🌊

✨ why pursue nature-based solutions? ✨ 🌴 Because nature is our first defender against human-induced climate disasters. Here's a powerful video graphic of mangroves barricading the turbulent flow of water before it reaches the shore, showing its great potential to defend shoreline communities against high tide and storm surges

Heatwave after heatwave........ It's time to cool the earth with water cycle restoration!!! https://lnkd.in/gJ3VktUq
