📢 Speaking today at the World Leaders Climate Action Summit, Philémon Yang, President of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, told world leaders that: ⚡ "No developing countries should have to choose between sustainable development and addressing #ClimateChange. We need to achieve both at the same time.” ⚡ 🌐 Find more information about the World Leaders Climate Action Summit here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eswidSyB

🌏 The Canterbury Mayoral Forum launched the Canterbury Climate Partnership Plan (CCPP) on Friday. The plan is a comprehensive strategy developed by all 11 councils in Canterbury to address climate change and build a sustainable, resilient, and low-emissions future. Waimakariri District Mayor Dan Gordon chaired the Canterbury Climate Action Planning Reference Group which oversaw the development of the CCPP. He says the plan doesn’t detract from the work individual councils are doing to tackle the impacts of climate change. Instead, he says it aligns work programmes, maximises efficiencies, and provides regional solutions to shared problems.

🌍 What role have human worldviews, mindsets, and beliefs played in creating and maintaining the current global crises? And how can they provide a pathway forward?   We had the opportunity to explore these questions at the recent event 'Navigating Climate Change: Managing Change in an Uncertain Environment’ hosted by Tasmanian Leaders Inc and sponsored by Hydro Tasmania.   What is clear is that the increasing complexities of our world demand a profound shift in thinking. ↔ Swipe through to explore our thoughts on how we as individuals, communities, and organisations can evolve our perspectives for a sustainable future. #ChangeMakers #climatechange #ThoughtLeadership

As an annex 1 country with an increasing #fossilfuel footprint and a respondibilty to fund mitigation in the Blue Continent and other impacted regions this was an important discussion . We have five years left to turn this shit show around. We can, we need #sdg13 to be data driven and a #grassroots movement. Philanthropic mitigation efforts can do the work fast especially when we partner with oceanography and microbial scientists. We really do believe that phytoplankton and mycelium hold some of the solutions for keeping under or on 1.5. Just happen to be learning Samoan atm.. #ruckus #changemakers #pican

#COP29: TODAY - join in-person or online! 'Response to Climate Change: The Special Case of Small Island UK Overseas Territories'. ⏰ 4.15pm (AZT) or 12.15pm (UK time). 📌 #UKPavilion, #BlueZone 💻 Livestream: https://lnkd.in/eb5gbSXU Description: The #UK has a collection of small island #OverseasTerritories spread across the Caribbean, Atlantic, Pacific, Antarctic and the Indian Ocean known as #UKOTs. As custodians of 94% of the UK's unique biodiversity and stewards of the fifth-largest marine estate globally, UKOTs have a crucial part to play in global environmental conservation and climate resilience efforts. At the same time, the UKOTs are grappling with some of the most extreme impacts of climate change. Through this event, the UKOTs will share lessons learnt and showcase stories of amazing scientific discoveries – sharing initiatives and innovation with the global community – while presenting the devastating effects of #ClimateChange. UKOTs will also share their unique challenge in accessing climate finance, being ineligible to access any of the global UN climate funds, and creative ways OTs are exploring to finance their urgent adaptation needs. With support from UKG and home-grown initiatives, the UKOTs are rising to the challenge by undertaking ground-breaking research and leading innovative new projects to realise dual benefits for climate and nature. 

Last week, @United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a powerful address on the urgent need for #climateaction at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), a partner of The #NewYorkClimateExchange.    Our partners play a critical role in the fight against climate change. AMNH President Sean Decatur also spoke at the event, emphasizing, “We are in the midst of a climate crisis. This is just undeniable, the evidence is clear. But many of the solutions are also clear … a much bigger difficulty is finding the will and courage to act in response to the alarm.”    As our planet faces the escalating impacts of human-caused climate change, convening climate experts from across sectors to develop and implement solutions has never been more crucial. We are proud to collaborate with the American Museum of Natural History and our extensive network of partners at The Exchange.
