Green maritime corridors are emerging in Europe 🌍💚 Six European ports, in collaboration with X-Press Feeders, are launching green maritime corridors in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea. This initiative is based on the use of green methanol, produced from green hydrogen and organic waste, marking a significant step towards decarbonizing the maritime sector. #Decarbonization #Maritime #Ecology #Innovation #Europe #Scandinavia #BalticSea #SustainableTransport #GreenPorts #GreenEnergy 🔗 European ports forge green shipping alliance https://lnkd.in/dG29YNdy

The craze for fishery and electricity symbiosis started soon after #Taiwan government's announcement of the related policy in alignment with the goal of achieving a #nuclear-free homeland and #ESG from 2020. Yet lots of concerns were raised including #land use #conflicts and rapid #policy changes. #nuclearfree #environment #fisheryPV #sustainability Please find my recent article on the development of #fishery and #electricity #symbiosis in Taiwan at:

Recently as I continue to search for new work and other opportunities for my latest post I developed a global index of marine/maritime related training institutes as attached. Please feel free to reach out to me via message, connect, comment or email as below if you are aware of any consulting or other opportunity, are seeking potential awareness/support for your cause, initiative, voluntary (i.e. support in developing a startup, conservation area, capacity building or other assistance relevant to my potential interests/experiences as per my profile In other news, At COP29 in Baku, Jennifer Morgan, Germany's State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action, launched the 6th Call for Proposals. Local organisations in ODA-eligible countries can apply for funding ranging from 60,000 to 200,000 euros for local climate and biodiversity initiatives until 15th January, 2025. They invite organisations ready to make an impact to step forward, apply, and contribute to our shared goal of local climate action for global change.  IKI Small Grants: 6th call for proposals now open Link below or website https://lnkd.in/dRZmJD-c South Africa are calling for public voice inputs on their  draft Climate Change Framework (Article 6 – Paris Agreement) for SA?

🚨 The EU countries consume more cellulose than they produce, and this growing demand is creating new business opportunities for some — while resulting in loss for others. A new cross-border investigation reveals that land grabbing in Mozambique is fuelled by the European demand for eucalyptus pulp. 👩🏽💻 In addition to fieldwork, the team — Davide Mancini, Boaventura Monjane and Juan Maza Calleja, mentored by Fiona Macleod — looked into the official data, academic investigations, authorities and company reports, working contracts and land concession contracts with the help of national and international civil society actors. 🧐 Experts say that large-scale eucalyptus plantations in Mozambique, often established without proper land compensation, represent a form of "green colonialism," where climate change policies mask exploitation of local resources and communities. ❗Eucalyptus trees are a particularly damaging choice as these trees absorb significant amounts of water, causing nearby wells to dry up. Local residents claim that water quality has also worsened due to pesticides used in the plantations. 👀 Find more information here and stay tuned for new articles: https://t.ly/8jXv6 #earthinvestigations supported by Arcadia

🌊 🌱 Newsflash: We’re a proud recipient of the Global Seaweed Coalition 2024 grant! 🌱🌊 This generous funding will be instrumental in advancing our ocean acidification impact project. So… what is this project about?  🌿 Ocean acidification is a serious problem for our marine ecosystems.  🌿 As oceans absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere, they become more acidic, creating a chemical imbalance that harms our marine life. 🌿 For example, shellfish have issues forming their shells!  🌿 Kelp can save the day: it can store locally available carbon from the surrounding waters in its biomass, with the potential to create a safe haven for these species, where the water is more suitable to live. So, our study aims to answer: to what extent is kelp able to help combat ocean acidification? With GSC’s support, we will acquire state-of-the-art autonomous sensors and analytical instruments, enabling us to create a comprehensive ocean acidification monitoring program. This project will be conducted in Lüderitz, Namibia, and aims to provide more insight into the benefits of healthy kelp forests. The Global Seaweed Coalition is dedicated to fostering a safe and sustainable seaweed industry worldwide, and we are honored to be part of this mission. Together, we can significantly impact our oceans and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey! 🌍 🌊 #KelpForestFoundation #GlobalSeaweedCoalition #OceanConservation #SustainableSeaweed #OceanAcidification #LuderitzNamibia #MarineScience #InnovativeResearch

Welcome to the #BalticReed project page! 🌾 The project aims to improve the state of the Baltic Sea by long-term nutrient reductions from coastal waters with reed harvesting, and complements land-based measures by restoring coastal ecosystems. In collaboration with commercial stakeholders, the BalticReed project will analyze the main bottlenecks and opportunities for commercialization of reed-based value chains and products. The partners in the project are John Nurmisen Säätiö, ELY-keskus - Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, Arcada University of Applied Sciences, Ålands Landskapsregering, Länsstyrelsen Östergötland and Race For The Baltic. The project is funded by the EU’s INTERREG Central Baltic programme, which finances cross-border cooperation projects to improve the state of coastal and marine environment.

Ukraine should be plugged into global #CarbonMarkets to get more resources for #GreenandSustainableReconstruction. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, the scale of damage to Ukrainian nature over 1000 days of widescale aggression is more than 1 billion dollars in losses and 180 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. RF committed over 6500 crimes against our environment. Due to combat actions and forest fires, the absorption potential of greenhouse gases by Ukrainian forests decreased by 1.7 million tons. In total, the war has destroyed 3 million hectares of forests. In this challenging context, green finance is a crucial mechanism to ensure environmental recovery. Opportunities for Ukrainian Green Reconstruction Including Ukraine in the carbon market would provide the country with a unique opportunity for green reconstruction. Rather than rebuilding with outdated, carbon-heavy infrastructure, Ukraine has the chance to build back better, creating modern, energy-efficient infrastructure that aligns with global climate goals. The country’s large agricultural lands, wind and solar capacity, and geographical location, combined with its access to critical raw materials such as copper and germanium, make it a natural candidate for renewable energy development. Reforestation and biodiversity restoration Due to combat actions and forest fires, the absorption potential of greenhouse gases by Ukrainian forests decreased by 1.7 million tons. In total, the war has destroyed 3 million hectares of forests. Ukraine’s forests are a crucial asset; with over 9.5 million hectares of forest. Ukraine could generate and sell carbon credits by protecting its forests and planting new trees. Greening Public Transport and Infrastructure Biofuel Potential and Agricultural Innovation Ukraine is also well positioned to capitalise on biofuel development, particularly biomethane. With an annual biomethane production capacity of 22 billion cubic metres. By generating carbon credits from sustainable farming practices, Ukraine could sell these offsets to international buyers, further boosting its green economy. Conclusion Ukraine has signed consolidating cooperation agreements on carbon trading with Switzerland and Japan under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. These agreements mark crucial steps towards unlocking the global carbon market. But it's not enough.  Including Ukraine in the worldwide carbon market would give the country a unique opportunity for green reconstruction. Rather than rebuilding with outdated, carbon-heavy infrastructure, Ukraine has the chance to build back better, creating modern, energy-efficient infrastructure that aligns with global climate goals. #GreenResilienceFacility Ukrainian Sustainable Fund (UASIF) ReGenerative Agriculture #CarbonMakets
