🤝 From our partner B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) 🔥 CICE announces $3 million investment opportunity for wildfire technology innovators. 🔥 In Canada and globally, surges in destructive wildfires are fueling emissions and threatening the safety, well-being, and prosperity of our first line responders and the communities they risk their lives to protect. 🔥 On May 30th 2024, CICE is launching the first Canadian call for innovation focused on wildfire technologies. Up to $3 million in non-dilutive investment will be awarded to innovators across B.C. that are commercializing and scaling solutions to prevent, mitigate, and adapt to 21st century wildfires. ➡️ Full release here: https://lnkd.in/giNrPNqN

📣 We are pleased to announce that we have secured up to $1 million in funding from the Low Carbon Economy Fund (LCEF) to support #ClimateAction and pave the way for a #NetZero future in #Ontario. ♻️ This investment will help CHEO install two new heat pumps and update their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units to recover and reuse #waste heat. ⚡ CHEO can largely eliminate their current reliance on existing natural gas-fired equipment and move to electricity sourced from the lower-emitting Ontario grid. This will reduce the hospital’s power costs and reduce an estimated 25,660 tonnes of #GreenhouseGas emissions by 2030. Children, and future generations will be the most affected by climate change. We must step up now to protect their future. Learn more about today’s announcement ➡️ https://ow.ly/wI1150RATGT Discover the Low Carbon Economy Fund ➡️ https://ow.ly/zx1R50RATGU #ClimateActionGC

🌿 A Groundbreaking 8-Year Journey to Cultivate a Greener Future: The Regional Biotrade Project Closes with Astounding Achievements! 🌍 On August 31, 2024, the visionary Regional Biotrade Project, backed by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and spearheaded by Helvetas, marked the conclusion of an unprecedented eight-year endeavor. This project spanned across Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia in partnership in Vietnam with the Center for Rural Economic Development (CRED), and its impact will echo for years to come. The numbers speak for themselves, but the real story lies in the transformative change for both people and planet: 💼 Ethical Trade Triumph: An astonishing USD 195.6 million in ethically produced natural products exported across 26 diverse value chains, reshaping trade across Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. 🌱 🤝 Global Sustainable Partnerships: 69 regional companies linked with international importers, forging strong and lasting partnerships that are driving sustainability to new heights. 📈 Investment Surge: The private sector stepped up with double the initial investment— USD 10.85 million compared to the project’s USD 5.28 million— a true testament to the project's massive appeal and potential! 💡 Business Booms: Companies are more than willing to pay for services, a clear indicator that this project has transformed business culture and opened up endless possibilities for growth. 👩👩👧👦 Empowering Change for Over 56,000 People: Improved income and working conditions for 56,440 individuals, with women leading the charge as 55% of the beneficiaries. This project hasn't just lifted economies, it has transformed lives! 🌿 Biodiversity Breakthrough: Out of 11 case studies, 10 documented positive impacts on biodiversity— a clear signal that development can protect our planet while improving livelihoods. This project is living proof that sustainable development isn’t just a dream, it’s a reality that creates lasting prosperity. The future is brighter, greener, and more inclusive— thanks to the visionary efforts of the Regional Biotrade Project! The results of this 8-years Regional Biotrade  project are showcased in the video: "Mekong Biotrade story; cultivating a greener future".        #SustainableDevelopment #EthicalTrade #Biotrade #EmpoweringCommunities #GreenerFuture #Helvetas #SECO #SDC #ProFopund #CRED Chi Nguyen, Luong Pham, Peter Schmidt, Ruedi Lüthi, Jane Carter, Giang Nguyen, zaw min oo minoo, Mounthala SOUTTHANILAXAY, Jesper Elias Lauridsen, Andrew Wilson

Today marks the meeting of ambition and delivery in a forward approach to our seas, in partnership, and at scale.   The Marine Delivery Routemap report sets a course for the nation's systems level planning needed in our seas and coastlines to deliver an energy transition, nature recovery and the balance of users, industries and environment that gain value from it.   The Routemap will plan out systems issues or conflicts in advance, de-risk and accelerate deployment, help industries plan for the future across supply chains, and provide visibility for investments to enable transitions and deliver growth and new jobs onshore.   Alongside the Routemap report we are also putting forward our plans, in partnership with Great British Energy for engagement to bring to market an additional 20-30GW of offshore wind by 2030 – enough to power almost 20 million homes.    The report will be the first of a series of sector specific reports that sit as a suite under the Marine Delivery Routemap. It will be followed by reports on Nature, Carbon Capture and other sectors in due course. Watch this space!   We can create a thriving marine environment together, and we're on the course to do.   Well done to our fantastic The Crown Estate team and thanks to all partners who have worked with us.   You can find links to both reports in the comments. We look forward to you joining us on this journey as we delivery lasting and shared prosperity for the nation.
