Leaders should be wise, thoughtful and visionaries. Leadership qualities nothing to do with position! #Leadership #Leaders #sustainability #vision #thoughtful #worldleader #sustainabilitygoal #sdg2030

In today's rapidly evolving world, the distinction between a good leader and a great one is increasingly defined by their approach to stewardship and decision-making, especially concerning our planet's precious resources, nature, and biodiversity. - A good leader reacts; a great leader anticipates- As leaders, we are at a critical juncture where the decisions we make today shape not only the future of our organizations but also the future of our planet. #Leadership and stewardship of resources are intrinsically linked, underscoring the immense responsibility we bear to guide our teams and communities toward #sustainablepractices that protect and nurture the environment. The essence of true leadership lies in anticipation – the ability to foresee challenges and opportunities in conserving nature and #biodiversity and to implement innovative solutions proactively. This foresight is not just about averting risks but about envisioning a future where economic growth and environmental #sustainability coexist harmoniously. The leaders who will leave a lasting legacy are those who anticipate the needs of the planet and act as custodians of its resources. They are the ones who understand that leadership and stewardship are two sides of the same coin, and who make decisions with the future of nature and biodiversity at heart.

So true! An insightful message of Jane Goodall:

In the vicious cycle of chasing money, the world we live in and the environment surrounding us become insignificant as many do not see the direct impact of their destruction. However, that is where misinformation begins. Climate change is due to the cumulation of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere and several other environmentally detrimental anthropogenic activities. We must learn to live harmoniously with our environment and create supporting technology for our present and future. #AGENDA30 #CLIMATE #Climatechange #climateaction #climatestrike #greensamia #unfccc

🌍🌿 It's imperative for companies and countries worldwide to appoint leaders who prioritize the climate and future generations. We must think holistically, considering the suffering of others and the loss of biodiversity. The climate crisis and environmental degradation caused by wars are having an unimaginable impact on our planet. Slowly but surely, these factors are making the Earth unlivable for all of us. Let's come together to ensure that our decision-makers focus on sustainability, environmental protection, and the long-term well-being of our world. The time to act is now! 🌿🌍 #ClimateAction #FutureGenerations #SustainabilityLeaders

We've seen a surge in climate policies globally, from the Paris Agreement to various national commitments. However, the real challenge lies in their effective implementation. 🔹 Paris Agreement: Signed by nearly 200 countries, it aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C. But are nations on track to meet their pledged targets? 🔹 Renewable Energy: Many countries are investing in renewable energy sources. Yet, fossil fuels continue to dominate the energy mix in numerous nations. 🔹 Sustainable Practices: While sustainable practices gain traction, deforestation rates, and carbon emissions remain alarmingly high. Leadership demands action, not just words. To truly combat climate change, we need leaders committed to: ✅ Bold Action: Enforcing strict regulations and penalties for environmental violations. ✅ Innovation: Investing in green technologies and sustainable solutions. ✅ Collaboration: Joining forces internationally to address this global crisis collectively. It's time we hold our leaders accountable. Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a global challenge that requires urgent attention and decisive actions. #climatechange #Leadership #JaneGoodall

Climate change is an issue that must be put into consideration by anyone in Leadership in the sense of 'As a leader how can I contribute to mitigating climate change, for a better and sustainable future?' I believe every societal sector has a solution it can provide to climate change mitigation. It's a matter of perspective and how one can tap into being a solution provider.

Nature is declining at an unprecedented rate, with nearly 1 million species facing extinction because of human activity. Current production and consumption patterns, land use and urbanization, population dynamics, trade, industry and governance models underpin this loss. For instance, global resource extraction has tripled from 27 billion tonnes in 1970 to 92 billion tonnes. We need to do more to save and preserve our planet. This requires the involvement of everybody but most importantly that of our younger generations.

A great message for every politicians, decision makers and voices of change. We already know that climate change is happening, we already know that vulnerable areas are suffering from floodings, storms and extreme heat waves. But if we dont have leaders, decision makers etc, who addresses this vital issue there wont be a change. We need change and we need decision makers who has experience and knowledge within this area to actually take charge.
