We should prioritise on "potable water" from the rivers (surface) rather than building dam for electricity and creating obstacle in the natural flow and deprive the population of downstream. #transboundary #sustainability #justice #equity

You may have heard of companion planting 🌿 🍅 but have you heard of compatible occupation? 🌳 ⚡   Portuguese, DSO E-REDES’ 🇵🇹 plan to #IntegrateNature using compatible occupations: land-uses that deviate from traditional fuel management laws in Portugal, yet still effectively reduce fire risks while adding value for local communities.   In 2022, E-REDES collaborated on a study to identify 107 plant species ideal for Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) due to their ability to: 🍎 Generate local socio-economic benefits, like fruit harvesting or wood sales. 🔥 Minimise flammability and combustibility risks. 🐝 Boost #biodiversity and deliver essential ecosystem services like soil formation and erosion prevention.   Discover more about E-REDES’ innovative and sustainable practices in our IVM Best Practice Guide! 👉 https://lnkd.in/exdjSD-M

🌊 Reflections from the 1st Islands Water Congress: A United Front for Sustainable Water Management I recently had the privilege of attending the first-ever Islands Water Congress hosted by the IWRA - International Water Resources Association in the Faroe Islands. The congress provided a platform for island nations to come together and share invaluable insights on sustainable water management, resilience, and resource preservation. I also had the opportunity to share some insights into Iceland’s legal framework for water management, highlighting our ongoing efforts to enhance water governance, improve monitoring, and increase collaboration among stakeholders. For us in Iceland, the opportunity to collaborate with our island peers was deeply meaningful. We gained profound learnings from both the successes and challenges shared. The experiences of Hawaii and Fiji, where overexploitation by foreign companies has strained local water resources, served as critical lessons on the importance of safeguarding our natural assets for future generations. These exchanges reaffirm the importance of cooperation and knowledge-sharing across islands facing unique environmental challenges. Let’s continue building strong networks and putting sustainability at the forefront of our strategies, ensuring the well-being of our ecosystems and communities for years to come.  💧🌍 #IWRA #Sustainability #WaterManagement #IslandResilience #GlobalCollaboration #Iceland

The significance of economic tools for conducting environmental evaluation, economic evaluation,cost -benefit analysis, economic impact analysis for strategizing effectively for Nature Based Tourism in Africa and elsewhere in the globe cannot be over-emphasised. I therefore would like to thank CSF in partnership with WWF Africa for enabling me participate in their training program to which I obtained the certificate below

The theme of World Water Day 2024 is ‘Water for Peace’. When we cooperate on water, we create a positive ripple effect – fostering harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges. Water is intrinsic to every aspect of life and it's vital that we recognise its true value as the essential life-giving force that it is. Here in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Māori world view (Te Ao Māori) acknowledges and respects the interconnectedness and interrelationship of all living and non-living things to wai (water). Would you like to understand more about this holistic approach and the obligations we have as tāngata (people) to freshwater management, and its interconnections including the three waters: drinking water, wastewater and stormwater? If so, you can enrol in our popular learning module - Cultural Significance and Importance of Wai - next one starts on 9 May.

Bursa Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Datuk Muhammad Umar Swift said, in order to accelerate the development of domestic carbon projects, Malaysia must adopt some form of compliance carbon pricing instrument to ensure sustainable demand and pricing for domestic carbon credits. For Malaysia, the Kuamut Project is of national importance as it demonstrates that Malaysian forests can successfully yield high integrity carbon credits. As a lighthouse project for local forestry-based carbon credits, it paves the way for other states to look into preserving their forests and natural resources, while contributing to the nation's commitment to maintain at least 50 per cent of the country's land that is under forest and tree cover, a pledge made during the Earth Summit in 1992. https://lnkd.in/gygCvxCP

VWI will be present at the 10th World Water Forum taking place in Bali. Valuing Water Initiative will organize a session on ‘Sustainability Reporting for Water Security’. The session will bring together leaders from the disclosure, stewardship, corporate, government and investor communities to explore how the CSRD and related rules can be a catalyst for: 🌎 Greater transparency & accountability: Detailed disclosure data spotlights areas for improvement and allows civil society, financiers and regulators to hold companies responsible for their water practices; 💧 Initiating dialogue with companies: The new rules provide the water community with a unique opportunity to engage with companies to identify improvements, share best practices and promote sustainable water management throughout their value chains; 💦 Investing in water security: When the first reports are published in 2025, the CSRD will generate unprecedented levels of data on the water impacts of corporate value chains. These reports will help make clear to investors the scale of the water crisis and the financial materiality of water insecurity. This data can be used as a tool for mobilizing investment in water security on the scale necessary and aligning financial incentives with more sustainable water practices. Please join us in person during our session on Monday 20 May, 13.00 hrs local time in the Dutch Pavillion.   The #valuingwaterinitiative explores the ways water is valued by financial sector actors to better understand, value and manage water. This event aligns with the five valuing water principles emphasizing the need to incorporate the value of water in decision-making impacting water. #valuingwater #worldwaterforum   Iris Bijlsma Joe Ray Sofía de la Rosa Solano Floor Crispijn
