A good step forward

In a recent interview with El Viento Digital, Angelo Sartori, director, regional engagement, explained that Verra is a nonprofit organization that helps drive finance to projects that have environmental and social impacts. He particularly focused on Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, in which a number of forestry and land use projects are registered. Angelo emphasized that Verra is committed to advancing climate action and sustainable development through its standards programs. He also highlighted the signing of the MOU with the government of Bolivia, specifically with the Plurinational Authority of Mother Earth (APMT). Under this MOU, Verra will hold trainings for local stakeholders who are developing projects in the VCS Program or are planning on doing so. Angelo thinks that REDD and Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) projects, in particular, have a lot of potential in forest-rich Bolivia. Neighboring countries with similar ecosystems, such as Brazil and Peru, include a large number of VCS projects that have benefited the rural and/or indigenous communities in the region.

#AnnualReport2023 Ecotourism in the Peruvian Amazon, that could protect the forest by increasing its value - and 31 young leaders of sustainability, ready to make a change: These are some of the initiatives tested and implemented by the Wyss Academy last year. In this video for our 2023 Annual Report, our Director and Fellow of the International Science Council (ISC), Prof. Dr. Peter Messerli, takes you on a journey through our recent work. In a world of ever-mounting crisis in the areas of climate, biodiversity and land use, the Wyss Academy still believes that a future in which nature and humanity benefit rather than harm each other is achievable. 🌳 🤝 How do we get there - fast? How we get to the heart of the problems, rather than just patching them up in the short term? Click here to find some answers. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eG5QTM37 https://lnkd.in/e2BbBmKw

Pano AI has been recognised as one of the top climate tech companies by investors for our impact on reducing carbon emissions. Early detection means fewer large bushfires. And fewer large bushfires means less CO2 released into the atmosphere, which is a significant driver of Climate Change. #technology #climatechange #innovation #CO2

📢 News from today at the #MonacoBlueInitiative: 🌍 Geneviève Pons-Deladrière participated this morning in the event ‘Towards an #IPOS – The Gateaway Between Ocean Knowledge and Policy Action’ where she gave her insights on what type of organisation would maximise the chances of the future International Panel on Ocean Sustainability (IPOS) to be set before June 2025, in time for UNOC3 as well as its ability to deliver useful recommendations. 💡 Our Director General, underlining how difficult it would be to set up an intergovernmental organisation in such a short time and how problematic it would be to obtain rapid consensus on relevant recommendations in such an organisation, proposed as an alternative to take the expert group of the EU #StarfishMission 2030 as a model. 💡 An international expert group could be set at global level. Criteria for the selection of the members will have to be defined rapidly according to the IPOS needs, to facilitate the selection work of the UNSG. 💡 This was received by the audience as a promising way to establish the IPOS in time for the 2025 #UNOC3 Conference! Ocean science and governance are at the heart of the Starfish Mission which seeks to restore our ocean and waters’ health and develop our knowledge. The Starfish Mission global vocation has already been embraced by the #BizerteDeclaration on international ocean governance. Let’s work together to drive global policy action for a sustainable ocean! 🤝 #IPOS #OceanSustainability #UNOC3
