International Sustainable Resilience Center

Dear friends, today, we are reaching out to ask for your support for someone who has dedicated his life to others. David A. Dodd CEcD/FM/HLM, the Founder and CEO of the International Sustainable Resilience Center (ISRC), has been tirelessly working to provide aid and promote resilience in the face of disasters around the world. His unwavering dedication to this mission has touched countless lives. But his journey has not been without sacrifice. While on a mission delivering aid to communities in Puerto Rico, David suffered a life-changing injury and lost his leg. Despite this, his spirit remained unbroken. His passion for building resilience in disaster-stricken regions only grew stronger, and today, he continues to lead, inspire, and advocate for those in need. Now, David has been invited to speak at #COP29, an international event where leaders and changemakers will gather to discuss resilience matters. This is a rare opportunity for him to share his incredible story and wisdom with the world. But we need your help to get him there. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for David to present at two separate sessions of the world's top gathering on resilience and sustainability in Baku, Azerbaijan. No amount is too small, and every donation brings us closer to this goal. Let’s stand together in support of someone who has given so much to the world. With gratitude, we thank you for your kindness and support. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eZ3YBfVP

International Sustainable Resilience Center partner in Brazil, Natascha Schmitt addressing a critical issue on her podcast SustenTalks. How can we adapt agriculture for a warming, drier, and wetter planet? Massive efforts in adapting crops and animals to survive on less water and more heat, and/or to survive massive flooding, must be increased. Public private partnerships can play a critical role in this.

Please help us raise funds to cover David's travel expense to Baku Azerbaijan. His role as a thought leader in resilience and sustainability is too valuable form him to remain silent. Even a small donation will help. Thank you for your support. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eZ3YBfVP
