Living on a finite earth, we cannot have infinite aspirations!! But currently 8.2 Billion people on this planet are collectively doing the same. They are using the earth resources at their own will..without even caring for the will of the planet and care for rules of the nature. People are at war with one another for time and resources, there are people who want to get rich quicker than others and many like him/her are creating this blind race...where upon winning not even one of them will be actually called victorious. The real victory is in realising that we don't need to live in this madness. We as a conscious being on this resourceful world can create a just place for ourselfs not by running for the wins but by sustaining the earth we have got from our ancestors. If we do that our kids would do the same and we all can be safe. Today we have every possible comfort, resources, technology which eases our life in many ways. Careful, responsible, and accountable ways of living can bring baçk the needed change! We need changes in many area of human habitation..such as overpopulation, climate change, biodiversity protection, over consumption, wildlife conservation, energy, food, water etc. To manage all these we need able leadership, meticulous planning and administration of strategies and plans. We need to install a culture in ours people for, care for earth, care for people, and just share of resources between the needy ones. An impactful video..that asks us to fight with problems of today for the future we need... is linked for exploration... https://lnkd.in/dGYk4zCe Harrison Ford..Emporing Climate Change Thanks for reading..and caring!

The last of the year! Our latest research, published on #Challenges MDPI, explores the intersection of climate change, displacement, and societal attitudes in Italy, using the Gradient Boosting Model (GBM) and Fuzzy-Hybrid TOPSIS. We analyze: ✔️ The pivotal role of weather-related disasters in displacement. ✔️ Diverse perceptions of climate change across age, education, religion, and income. This study sheds light on how socio-economic factors shape attitudes toward climate change and highlights the urgent need for evidence-based strategies to address environmentally induced displacement. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dES9Wb4A Let's foster meaningful conversations and drive actionable change! 🌱 #ClimateChange #NaturalDisasters #Challenges #Italy

Maybe we shouldn’t worry about the scale of the impact of global climate change on the local level…claiming that ecologist narratives embody the future in advance & that we’re heading to a dystopia without any form of doubt, completely rules out any possibility of change. But changes in planetary climate go beyond local climate, affecting global weather patterns, ocean currents, & ecosystems. Beyond events on the local level, climate change already has far-reaching global impacts, including mass migration, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation due to energy & food production, extreme weather events, & more… Local efforts are crucial in mitigating these global impacts. By recognizing the interconnectedness of global & local dynamics, & through international cooperation & policy changes, we can adapt & create a more resilient & hopeful future for ALL communities. —Worrying too hard about the own backyard isn’t going to solve anything at all.

At Future Generations Himalaya, the Barun Biomeridian Research Project is advancing our understanding of local climate change by studying "Biomeridian" transects which span various elevations and ecosystems. These transects allow researchers to observe how local plants and animals are adapting to shifting temperatures, changing weather patterns, and migrating wildlife, with bird songs serving as key indicators. The project specifically monitors a transect along the Barun River, which flows from the Makalu glacier down to Barun Dovan, where it meets the Arun River below Shyaksila village. Through these studies, the project is uncovering critical insights into the impacts of climate change on the local environment, providing valuable data to help communities adapt and thrive. This research is essential for developing effective, locally-tailored climate responses.

what sparked your 'lightbulb moment' about sustainability? #GreenerTogether #LinkedInNewsEurope During my Master's at Paris Sorbonne University in 2010, I worked on consumer sociology within the context of my memoir. By studying the history of marketing and market research, I learnt - through field research in an international marketing research institute how to become a successful private sector researcher. However, I also listened from scientists how the earth's resources was getting consumed and I was alarmed about global warming. I then researched further economical systems to undo this catastrophic process. Since then, Sustainability is a topic I'm working on...

Radical Adaptation Transforming Cities for a Climate Changed World AUTHOR: Brian Stone, Jr., Georgia Institute of Technology DATE PUBLISHED: January 2024 FORMAT: Paperback ISBN: 9781009211154 This book considers the everyday conduits through which climate instability is revealing itself: the storm sewer drain on your street, the powerlines transporting your electricity, the mix of vegetation in your backyard or neighborhood park – these are the pathways through which climate change is most likely to impact your life. For many, these are the last places we expect it to. The first book to establish a framework for climate change adaptation, Stone's aim is to understand how climate change is altering our lives in the present period – this period of transition between the ancient, stable climate of our ancestors and the unfolding, no longer stable climate of our children – and how our cities might adapt to these changes. Stone's concern is with the risks posed by a new environmental regime for which our modes of living are ill-adapted, and with how these modes of living must be altered – radically altered – to persist in a climate changed world. https://lnkd.in/ess88vqy

I am glad to share this certificate of participation wherein I gave a presentation on the topic " Climate Change: Eco Development in the Himalayan region" It was a very insightful session that highlighted the role of our active participation towards sustainable development of this delicate ecosystem. #UPES #SOB #MBA #Oilandgas #Environment #Climatechange

🏝" ..should we just plant trees? " "In the case of #carbon credits, certifying bodies and customers should consider whether forestry-based carbon credits are better achieved through protecting old-growth forests or planting new forests. A holistic approach may reveal that efforts should be concentrated on maintaining old-growth forests, which are excellent carbon sinks and provide dizzying #biodiversity benefits. “If we think about all the benefits biodiversity provides us, not just the #CO2 benefits, the value of biodiversity incorporated into these calculations might shift our decision making from ‘should we just plant trees?’ pointed out Jonathan Davies a professor in the Department of Botany and Forest and Conservation Science at the University of British Columbia, who was the senior researcher on this new report published in The Lancet Planetary Health. The findings sound a warning against putting global problems and their “solutions” in silos. (source Sustainble BrandsTM) #darenow #theclimateschool #daresustainability

 A lecture by Jim Salinger *IN PERSON* - Thursday 27th June.   🌍📈What are the drivers of temperature increases and variability in New Zealand region from 1870 to 2024, and future trends.   Surface temperatures in the New Zealand region, including land and sea, have increased rapidly in recent decades. This area shows an increase of over ~0.7°C from 1871-2024. Future warming from the late 19th century is projected to be 2 to be 3°C by 2100. The principal cause of these increases in temperature is due to greenhouse gases from human sources.   Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year, Dr Michael James (Jim) Salinger has devoted his research career to climate change and variability including first uncovering warming in New Zealand in the 1970s. He contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change winning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Winner of international and overseas awards, Jim is based at Victoria University of Wellington, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Science.   This lecture is hosted by the Royal Society Te Apārangi.   🗓️ Date: Thursday, 27 June 🕕 Time: 18:00 - 19:00 📍 Location: LBLT118, Laby Building, Victoria University of Wellington, Kelburn Parade, Wellington     For more information: https://lnkd.in/gjVXPFr9     #ClimateChange #NewZealand #VictoriaUniversity #EnvironmentalScience #PublicLecture #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Usha Alexander presents a thought-provoking 12-part series on climate change. The series delves into the shifts our planet is undergoing and introduces new narratives for addressing our current predicament. Here are a few things we found interesting: 🔍 In Part 1: As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, 2023 stands out as one of the hottest years in at least a hundred and twenty-five thousand years. This alarming trend is attributed to the accumulation of greenhouse gases, resulting from industrial activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The consequences? More devastating heatwaves, floods, and crop losses, painting a bleak picture of our future if urgent action isn't taken. 💡 Key Insights: - Despite decades of scientific warnings and policy talks, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise steadily, pushing us closer to irreversible climate tipping points. - Market-driven solutions have dominated mainstream responses to climate change, but they often overlook the interconnectedness of Earth's living systems and the need for holistic approaches rooted in ecology. 🌱 Exploring the Series: In the remaining series, Usha proposes alternate framings of our predicament, challenging the dominant narratives that reduce our world to quantifiable parameters. She invites readers to consider new stories that shed light on our role as living parts of Earth's larger system and explore pathways for thriving within its bounds.
