The Climate Reality Project - Australia & Pacific’s Post

Yesterday, I facilitated a workshop at the Bonn Climate Camp, an incredible event dedicated to fostering global climate action. This year, I'm particularly excited about the opportunity to engage with and learn from a diverse group of inspiring young leaders from around the world. In addition to the workshop, I will be closely following the negotiations at the SB60 session, where key topics such as adaptation and climate finance are being addressed. This year's session is especially significant as it centers on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Article 6 is crucial because it outlines market and non-market mechanisms that can help countries meet their climate targets through cooperation and carbon trading. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for advancing global climate goals and fostering international collaboration. #climateactionnow #youthleadership #bonnclimatecamp #sb60 #parisagreement #Article6 #ClimateFinance #adaptation #globalcollaboration #fridaysforfuture United Nations

The Caribbean Climate Justice Leaders Academy at COP29 This session will feature participants from the Caribbean Climate Justice Leaders Academy (CCJLA) who have been selected to attend COP29. These young climate advocates will discuss their expectations for COP29, share their experiences in the Academy, and present the key projects they are leading to address climate challenges in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Through their unique perspectives, they will explore how the Caribbean can strengthen its position in global climate negotiations, advocate for justice, and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. The session will also provide insights into how they are preparing to engage at COP29 and what they hope to achieve during the summit. #IslandVoices #COP29 #IslandInnovation

📖 Stories of Resilience: Lessons from Local Adaptation Practice. 💡Some vulnerable communities are not waiting for help to arrive; they are already finding and implementing solutions, but they urgently need support. This recent report by the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) provides stories of locally-driven solutions to climate change through adaptation. 🔍 What to know: ✅ Prioritize local leadership as central to effective climate action. ✅ Empower the local community by equipping them with information, skills, and resources to address climate challenges independently. ✅ Embrace an inclusive approach by challenging traditional leadership norms by empowering marginalized groups, including the poor, women, youth, and indigenous peoples. ✅ Supporting marginalized communities in leading climate adaptation efforts ensures solutions are contextually relevant and effective in addressing their unique circumstances.

The Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergy will launch four Thematic Reports on June 11 in Bonn at SB60. Building on the success of the 2023 Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergy, the 2024 edition of the report is set to be released in view of pivotal 2024 milestones. Comprised of four thematic reports and a final synthesis report, the new edition aims to accelerate action on SDGs and climate through four key entry points: policy frameworks, knowledge and data, a proposed new financial system, and cities. The four thematic reports lay the groundwork for a synthesis report to be released in July. #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateAction #Resilience #SDGs #Sustainability #climatepolicy #AdaptationLeader #UNFCCC United Nations
