Pioneering a Just Green Transition through effective #Communication! At the recent #JUCAN Inception Workshop in Diani (Oct 2-7), the Africa Research and Impact Network(ARIN) unveiled a powerful communication strategy for the JUCAN study, aimed at amplifying the role of Nature-Based Solutions (#NbS) in advancing environmental #justice. With a multi-pronged approach, including case studies, an audio-visual media package, and participatory impact analysis, ARIN is set to inspire action and collaboration. Key highlights include a Stakeholder Impact Pathway Analysis report, NbS case studies from across #Africa, and an engaging seminar series, all crafted to mobilize action on NbS for climate resilience. Here’s to impactful pathways for a sustainable future! Discover more: https://bit.ly/3YnPC8m #ARIN #JUCAN #Environment #Justice #Nature #Solutions #SustainableDevelopment #Communiation

🌍 ALBATROSS aims to ground its research and innovation actions in #Africa, by developing its activities in and together with the local communities strategically selected in 5 countries in sub-Saharan Africa: #Tanzania, #Kenya, #Gahana, #SouthAfrica and #Madagascar. 🌀 The engine of this process is embodied in the establishment of the Climate-Resilience Development Network, which represents a pan-African and transnational structure integrating indigenous communities with local research and policy organisations, which is articulated on different levels. The hubs are one of them. They consist of well-developed territorial communities managed directly or indirectly by the project partners; they represent the network hubs and are the fundamental unit on which the project actions are based. 🌱The hubs are stable in contexts that are crucial for the socio-economic and political interests of the countries and suffer not only from the #climate and environmental deterioration pressures but also from the economic and social pressures that climate change triggers. The hubs will work in synergy on three key issues for #ALBATROSS and of strong interest to the countries involved; these are Environmental-Socio-Economic Vulnerability, Internal Migration, and Natural Hazards. 💚 #HorizonEU #EU #ClimateServices #NBS #Nature #research #project

Sustainable development remains a daunting challenge for Sub-Saharan Africa, a region rich in natural resources and cultural heritage but burdened with complex barriers to growth that balances economic progress with environmental preservation. Although there is a growing commitment to sustainable practices in some areas, significant roadblocks continue to hinder progress. Read more about this in Stephanie Mwema's article: https://lnkd.in/dwwcEPZC

Obakeng Kgethe, Broll IFM: Business Development Executive, and Yusayn Núñez Yáñez, Head of PMO, recently attended the Built Environment Climate Change Indaba, held on 7th-8th November 2024 at Sibusisiwe Hall in Mandeni, KwaZulu-Natal. Organised by the Council for the Built Environment, this key event brought together leaders from across the built environment sector to address the critical need for climate resilience and sustainable development in South Africa. With the theme “Co-creation of Spaces and Places that Respond to the Just Transition,” the Indaba focused on discussions around sustainable building standards, Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), and strategies for developing climate-resilient communities. Through interactive sessions and panel discussions, attendees explored how to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment while promoting social equity and economic opportunity. Events like the Indaba are essential for driving meaningful, sustainable change in South Africa’s built environment. By engaging with industry leaders and policymakers, Obakeng and Yusayn gained valuable insights into how collaborative and innovative approaches can enhance resilience efforts across the country. The Indaba highlighted the potential for South Africa’s built environment to not only withstand but adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change, pointing towards a more sustainable future. #BIFM #ClimateChange #BuiltEnvironment #Indaba

#EcosystemBasedAdaptation | We're thrilled to see this amazing project explore in this video from the Green Climate Fund. Climate change and unsustainable land management practices are deteriorating the puna ecosystems—comprising peatlands, wetlands, and grasslands—and their vital services such as water regulation, food and fibre provision, and carbon regulation in Peru’s Southern High Andes (SHAP). The E Co. team support Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH within project preparation, helping to  bring about a paradigm shift in managing puna ecosystems for increased climate resilience among vulnerable rural communities.

🌍 Arbonaut Joins the African Digital and Green Transition Project (ADGT) in Tanzania! Arbonaut has been appointed as a forest and ICT Advisor in Tanzania as part of the African Digital and Green Transition (ADGT) program. This autumn, our experts will be working closely with the Tanzania Forest Services to enhance the country’s forest management through innovative digital solutions. Managing Tanzania’s extensive forest resources comes with unique challenges, from diverse ecological systems to technological and human resource limitations. As the country embraces the digital transformation journey, ICT technologies will be shaping a more sustainable future for forest managers and policymakers alike. Stay tuned for updates as we share our experiences and progress from the ground in Tanzania! 🔹 What is ADGT? ADGT, funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, supports Africa’s transition to a sustainable digital economy. By offering technical assistance, expertise, and fostering collaboration, the project aims to promote inclusive growth, as outlined in the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Through ADGT, Finnish digitalization experts, including Arbonaut, are seconded to public organizations in Africa, building strong, sustainable partnerships that will drive both digitalization and environmental goals forward.
