Additionally, we also bring to you updates about EquiLead's upcoming conference, climate news, insightful reports on the importance of digital innovation in climate adaptation, Migration Report 2024 covering global and regional migration trends, challenges, and solutions through data-driven insights and thematic analyses.
Our team also participated in an activity where we embraced the spirit of sustainability by showcasing our repurposed/upcycled products at home, reflecting the ethos of this year's World Environment Day theme: "Our land, Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration".
Climate Asia Celebrates World Environment Day with Eco-Friendly Initiatives!
This year, Climate Asia celebrated World Environment Day with the 2024 theme "Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience" by embracing upcycling. Our team engaged in creative repurposing activities such as using buckets as planters, transforming plastic cups into pen stands, and converting glass bottles into decorative plant holders. We also planted saplings at home to promote sustainability. In these unprecedented times, let's continue our efforts to create a greener, more sustainable planet!
