💥 Win the War before it begun 💥 #FreeWestPapua #GreenStateVision Victory starts in the minds and hearts of the People! Our generation realise that everything is at stake, our country, our people, our culture, our resources, our environment, our region and the entire planet. Indonesia have not got one single good argument to defend whey Melanesian West Papua should be part of them, only based on lies and not a billion dollar is gonna change their lies into truth. (It would be same, to say Netherlands should still colonize Indonesia) West Papua is the largest tropical Island in the world and is the richest province of Indonesia. That's the only reason why colonial Indonesia, corporations and countries who support them are silent. Everyone is eating from West Papua. But it is our generation that will expose this Indonesian colonial project and end the genocide and ecocide which all is happening in West Papua. And when West Papua is free, we will lead the world by exampl, outplay all the greenwashing NGO's, corporations and countries who just do more harm to people and climate.

The #Mekong Region is undergoing a profound agrarian transition. Innovative solutions are required. However, the prevalent focus on descriptive-analytical #research falls short in providing the tools to craft viable pathways towards sustainability. These pathways must not only bolster land governance but also champion the rights and needs of the region's 60 million smallholder farmers. The collection "The agrarian transition in the Mekong Region: pathways towards sustainable land systems”, published in the Journal of Land Use Science and led by #CDE scientists (Universität Bern), brings new science to bear on issues at the forefront of policy and practice. 👉 https://t.ly/8dzBp It features case studies showcasing promising approaches and solutions. The conceptual and analytical insights of these contributions have already produced numerous information materials that are deployed in discussions among decision makers in the region. This evidence informs dialogues as we seek, together, to negotiate a better future for the people of the Mekong.

In the village of Menarbu, West Papua, Indonesia, the ocean is critical to survival. But overfishing and competition for resources put these waters under threat. To turn things around, the community turned to ancestral wisdom – embracing tradition passed down through generations. Helping to jump-start this initiative, Yayasan WWF Indonesia worked together with local people to protect their waters. Now, communities are continuing to take it forward.

Global Dialogue on Sustainable Ocean Development July 1-5, 2024 Bali, Jakarta Raya, Indonesia The Fifth Global Dialogue on Sustainable Ocean Development will bring together multi-disciplinary stakeholders from governments, international organizations, academia and research institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and others to discuss the progress and future pathways towards sustainable ocean development. The event will consider the role of complex, trans-disciplinary approaches in moving towards a sustainable blue economy, including sessions on sustainable ocean planning and environmental-economic accounting. The Global Ocean Accounts Partnership (GOAP) is hosting the Dialogue. GOAP is a global, multi-institutional partnership established to enable countries and other stakeholders to go beyond gross domestic product (GDP) to measure and manage progress toward sustainable ocean development. The Government of Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, co-chair the GOAP. The Partnership brings together governments, international organizations, and research institutions to build a global community of practice for ocean accounting.

GrowPNG doing magnificient work in the Papua New Guinea, particularly in Agriculture Space. Of the many new initiatives that we want to consider to drive and elevate agriculture profile in PNG, we should look at what works and what's not working. Models that work should be embraced and considered for replicating and upscaling. We must not reinvent the wheel completely rather learn to grow from strength to strenght by addressing the gaps.

In Indonesia, 15% of the rural water systems are not fully functional ten years after construction, 30% of rural water schemes have tariffs that do not cover operating costs, and more than two-thirds of rural piped schemes are contaminated with E. coli. USAID #REALWater is conducting research to provide strategic guidance and inform best practices for rural water management through rigorous research and collaboration with policymakers, development partners, and service providers.
