🌳🚧 New Challenges: Advancing Environmental Value in Road Construction 🚧🌳 As a sustainability advocate with a passion for creating greener infrastructure 😇, I believe that road construction projects present a unique opportunity to enhance our environment—starting with a simple yet impactful solution: compulsory tree planting. Incorporating tree planting as a standard practice during road construction can significantly improve air quality, support local ecosystems, and help combat climate change. Trees act as natural carbon sinks, reduce urban heat, and provide essential habitats for wildlife. By integrating this vital component into road construction, we can transform thoroughfares into green corridors that benefit both communities and the environment. If you share this vision for sustainable road construction or have thoughts on innovative strategies for environmental enhancement, I’d love to connect and discuss! Let’s pave the way for a greener tomorrow. 🌍💚 #Finima #Bonny #Sustainability #RoadConstruction #TreePlanting #EnvironmentalValue #NLNG #GreenInfrastructure

It is not only collecting waste but also segregation of waste for proper waste handling. Don Bosco Tech Africa

We are proud to announce the new SWANA Technical Policy and Guiding Principles on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This is an important step for positioning SWANA to lead conversations on EPR. The technical policy and principles apply to EPR for packaging and products, with an emphasis on advancing safety, as well as supporting recycling and reuse infrastructure and systems.     EPR will be discussed in depth during the WASTECON® General Session -- Innovating for Impact: Extended Producer Responsibility in the Solid Waste and Resource Management Industry.    Learn more in the SWANA press release: https://lnkd.in/eHHHZRDt     # ExtendedProducerResponsibility #EPR #Recycling #Reuse #ResourceManagement #wastecon #swana #SustainableMaterialsManagement #SolidWasteManagement #WasteReduction #Recycling #Networking #GrapevineTX 

🌏Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), Korea Environment Corporation (K-eco), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National Institute of Green Technology (NIGT), and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) co-hosted ‘ASEAN-Korean Cooperation Intergrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Knowledge Sharing Program'. 🤝 Participants engaged in a comprehensive capacity building program in Korea to learn and adopt innovative waste management practices. The participants will be visiting waste management sites to study Korean waste management practices and waste-to-energy solutions. 🌱 By exploring cutting-edge facilities and forming new international collaborations, this project marks a significant step towards sustainable urban development in ASEAN nations, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. 👉Read more: https://bit.ly/4djVx5a

The Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber Mr NJ Ayuk JD, MBA. in an interview with Global Business Reports (GBR), explained how the organization, over the past eight months, has focused on finance, particularly following COP 28 in Dubai, where there was significant global pressure to end or phase out the use of fossil fuels. This is set to address the energy poverty issues directly in African countries and finding practical solutions that benefit everyday people. Furthermore Mr Ayuk clarified how MoU emphasizes the critical importance of local content development in driving sustainable growth across the continent's petroleum industry. The MoU seeks to create an enabling environment for local content development, emphasizing job creation, capacity building, and SME empowerment. The interview went on to discuss how to perceive the stance of international bodies such as the UN or the IPCC on Africa’s decarbonization.

The GGGI Cote d'Ivoire and CGECI - Le Patronat Ivoirien have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, forging a strategic alliance to tackle urgent environmental challenges and foster #greengrowth opportunities in Côte d'Ivoire. This collaboration will allow the adoption of clean energy and circular economy principles, enhance waste management practices, and advocate for energy efficiency, among other initiatives. In addition, it will also facilitate access to vital green climate finance and foster evidence-based knowledge sharing, along with capacity building programs focusing on green growth, sustainable development, and carbon markets. Together, both organizations will aim to drive meaningful change and create a more sustainable future for Côte d'Ivoire. #GreenGrowth #Greenenergy #CircularEconomy #GGGI

🌍💧 #TopicTuesday: As we face a future where 1.8 billion people will contend with absolute #WaterScarcity, the urgency to secure a sustainable water future has never been greater. At a recent conference, Dr Tony Igboamalu and Omer Jediael Mvele Ntumba explored how innovative strategies can bridge the growing gap between water demand and supply in South Africa—projected to be 17% by 2030. At OEG, we’re championing the power of #AssetManagement to drive sustainability in the water industry. Our approach is designed to ensure efficient, long-term management of water resources, paving the way for a resilient and #ReliableWaterSupply. Join us in the conversation on securing a future where clean and #safewater is accessible to all. 💦🔧 #SustainableWater #WaterFuture #AssetManagement #InnovationInWater #OEG ........We are the Driving Force for Sustainable Infrastructure..................

70% capital carbon reduction by 2030 when measured against 2010 levels. This is included in Anglian Water Services capital investment target for AMP8. When reducing carbon has been shown to also drive down capital, we should all have a winning story or two. Especially if reduce, reuse, recycle can drive additional value, and is often nterlinked with innovation. Why don’t you share your example with me? On 30th May I attended the Climate for Change event Anglian Water held for their delivery partners (including Binnies) where current performance, the challenge and some innovative examples were presented. My favourite was the marine-substance pipe-liner to avoid mussels growing in pipes and reduce friction. Watch the supply chain for this one ☝️ #innovation #carbon

Sharing Ecolab’s water expertise from the industrial sector to improve potable water supply in communities in need is incredibly valuable. Industrial processes often involve advanced water treatment technologies and efficient water management practices that can be adapted for community use. By collaborating and transferring this expertise, industries can contribute significantly to sustainable water solutions, benefiting both the community and the environment. Sharing our community giving project in the Philippines in 2023 that will inspire projects for more island communities in the Philippines. https://lnkd.in/g7yxy8hF

🚧🌿 In collaboration with Expertise France, Egis is excited to be involved in the "Support to Chernihiv’s Region for Reconstruction & Decentralization" RELEVE project. As part of this initiative, we are developing key strategic plans to enhance local infrastructure and sustainability: 🚦 Local Sustainable Transport and Mobility Plans for Ichnia and Nova Basan hromadas. These plans will define the transportation policy for the coming years, aiming to improve movement and accessibility, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for residents. ♻️ Local Waste Management Plans (LWMP) for Pryluky and Oster hromadas. These plans include training for local officials, waste management companies, and citizens, aligning with the new Ukrainian Law "On Waste Management." LWMPs are essential for sustainable waste management, with a 10-year horizon in line with the Oblast waste management plan. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, France has committed to supporting Chernihiv’s recovery through the mAIDan program. Funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministère des Affaires étrangères français) and coordinated by the French Special Envoy for Ukraine Relief and Reconstruction, this initiative aims to bolster resilience and recovery efforts in the region and the path to Euro-integration. We're committed to supporting Chernihiv’s region in building a sustainable and resilient future! 🌱💪 Alex Gittelson Andrei Sova Denys Moliaka Aurélien MAS Alisa Rozanova Sofia Oliynyk Olha Ivanova Matthieu DISCOUR Francois Tardif @Sarah Hermanutz Axelle Nos Pierre HEILBRONN Gaël Veyssière Romain Desthieux Frédéric Rousseau François COTTEL Augustin Roncin Karine FROUIN Hervé DUBREUIL Bertrand de Dianous Gaelle Assayag Joséphine Brault Olivier STEMLER Vincent Vial ghislaine lamour de caslou
