On this #WorldHumanRightsDay, take a look at the publications in UCLOE providing a scientific and academic lens on #HumanRights as it relates to the environment in which we live. This figure, taken from the first article in our list, shows the total climate related disasters per country from 1980-2022. In this #preprint authors consider potential applications of the #LossAndDamage fund in the field of human rights and #HumanSecurity. "A sectoral approach to the Loss and Damage fund: exploring potential applications and guiding principles" Read here: https://lnkd.in/eYdfgRti Access to water and sanitation is a #HumanRight and a 2030 target under #SDG6. This paper explores how public investment in water can help Mozambique reach the targets of SDG6.

Press Conference by Zimbabwe Hon. Minister of Environment , Climate and Wildlife, Thursday 11 July 2024 The Ministry of Environment is launching a comprehensive program to establish Zimbabwe as a key participant to the #ParisAgreement (#Article6 readiness). This initiative aims to fully engage the country in the international #carboncredits #compliancemarkets and to position the country as on of the first movers in Africa. The program will focus on: 1. *Full Article 6 Readiness and Needs Assessment* 2. *Development of an Article 6 Action Plan* 3. *Creation of a Zimbabwe Article 6 Policy and Carbon Market Strategy* 4. *Establishment of a State-of-the-Art #CarbonRegistry* 5. *Detailed Operational Manual with Measurement, Reporting, and Verification Guidelines* 6. *A Cutting-Edge Online Portal for Project Developers, the Public, and Investors* This initiative builds on existing policies, including the Carbon Credits Framework and Statutory Instrument SI 150 of 2023 and its amendments. It aligns with forthcoming legislation such as the Climate Change Management Bill, set to be enacted before the end of the year. The program seeks to help existing projects transition to a compliance market while ensuring all emission reductions generated in Zimbabwe meet the highest #environmentalintegrity standards and are marketable. Clear and user-friendly guidelines will be provided for new players to guarantee security. The process will be transparent, with the Ministry aiming for full Article 6 readiness by the first half of 2025. #article6 #compliancemarket #carboncredits #carbonoffsets #carbonremoval #cdr #cdrpolicy

Africa's vast natural resources hold immense potential, but challenges like ineffective governance and inadequate youth participation, threaten sustainability. At the African Youth Conference on Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (#AYC2024), Chibeze Ezekiel, rallied young Africans to champion responsible resource management and climate action. His organization, Strategic Youth Network for Development : SYND GHANA, empowers young people through initiatives like the Youth-NREG platform. The future of Africa's environment rests on the shoulders of its youth, and they are rising to the challenge. Read more in this article by Rashid Latif Bukari: https://lnkd.in/gDZMK4cC

President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Climate Change Bill into law, outlining South Africa's national response to climate change. The law aims to align policies for a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and build climate resilience, while minimizing job losses and promoting new opportunities in the green economy. It also strengthens coordination between national departments and provinces, ensuring South Africa meets its commitments under the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the law establishes the Presidential Climate Commission to advise on climate change response and ensures provinces and municipalities play a role in mitigation efforts, as South Africa experiences climate change impacts across various sectors, which could disproportionately affect poor communities and hinder development goals. The newly signed bill has garnered widespread acclaim and support from a diverse range of stakeholders, including labour organisations like COSATU, environmental NGOs such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and independent bodies like the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) and the Energy Council. This broad consensus underscores the bill's significance in addressing South Africa's climate change response, and demonstrates a unified commitment to a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. #ClimatChange #JustTransition #SouthAfrica #Ramaphosa #ClimateChangeBill

Excited to share my latest project: a comprehensive comparative analysis of carbon market policies across four African countries! 📊🌱 In this research, I delved deep into the recently published carbon market frameworks of Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania, exploring their classification, taxation mechanisms, benefit sharing arrangements and safeguarding measures. 😊 🌟 This work showcases my passion for environmental issues and commitment to driving positive change through rigorous research and analysis. As we navigate the challenges of climate change, I'm dedicated to contributing meaningful insights and solutions to protect our planet for future generations. 🌿💡 #CarbonMarkets #ClimateChange #Research #EnvironmentalPolicy #Africa #Sustainability #ClimateAction

I have been selected to participate in the prestigious Conference of Youth on Environment and Climate (COYEC) 2024, taking place on the 6th of June 2024 in Lagos State, Nigeria. The Conference of Youth on Environment and Climate (COYEC) 2024 is a hybrid event aimed at bringing together climate actors and changemakers from different regions of Nigeria and Africa. COYEC’24 is anticipated to, among other things, inspire Africans to participate in environmental and climate actions in their respective communities, foster collaboration and partnerships among organizations, and contribute to the development of new ideas and solutions for environmental and climate issues specific to Africa. The conference intends to provide hands-on training and ample opportunities for participants to learn from industry experts on a range of environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity loss, renewable energy, and sustainable development.  The ultimate goal of COYEC is to provide Africans with the necessary knowledge and capacity to take action towards solving climate and environmental challenges. The conference seeks to provide a common platform for young people to engage in discussions and take action towards addressing climate change. #GreenerFuture

New Report | Environmental crises pose a growing threat to populations across the Middle East and North Africa. In a new report, Will Todman and Martin Pimentel assess the role of civil society in environmental action across the region. Based on more than 130 interviews with government officials, international donor representatives, and civil society actors in Iraq, Morocco, Oman, and Tunisia, they argue that environmental civil society actors can be key strategic partners for international donors. But to unlock the potential of civil society, donors and other environmental actors must place a greater emphasis on long-term sustainability.
