OECD - OCDE Ministerial level forum on gender policies navigating the net-zero and energy transitions in Paris: Promoting gender equality is crucial in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. The complex challenges posed by climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss call for a holistic and cross-sectoral approach that acknowledges the intricate interplay between gender and climate action and disaster management.  While the green transition offers new job opportunities, it is important to address existing structural imbalances in the workplace and leadership roles to ensure benefits are distributed equally.  How can governments simultaneously drive action for gender equality and transformative climate action? 1️⃣ Mainstream gender equality into policies and strategies integral to the net-zero transition.  2️⃣ Promote the attractiveness and inclusiveness of the economic opportunities offered by the green transition.   3️⃣ Advance gender equality in leadership and decision-making to ensure inclusive outcomes amid the green transition.   4️⃣ Amplifying women’s voices on environmental-related issues through environmental justice.  5️⃣ Promote policies to ensure gender-inclusive sustainable consumption – especially with respect to participation in sustainable modes of transportation.     Thanks so much to the OECD for the invitation and for putting these issues at the top of the agenda as well as as our colleagues and inspiring speakers including Jo Tyndall Dr. Hans-Jörn Weddige Alison Tate Silvana Koch-Mehrin Chiara Corazza Watch the session replays 🔗 https://oe.cd/5rN   Find out more about the OECD work on gender and environment 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eENUF38P  #ClimateAction #Inclusion #Diversity #WomenLeadership #OECDGender | #GenderEquality OECD Environment International Gender Champions SHEChangesClimate France SHE Changes Climate Switzerland Climate & Sustainability Project Dandelion Sophie Lambin 🪁 Kite Insights Pat Mitchell Ronda Carnegie Hafsat Abiola-Costello Emily Moody SHE Changes Climate Hannah Reinl (she/her) Fleur Heyworth

As members of the Energy Transitions Commission, their latest briefing “Credible Contributions: Bolder Plans for Higher Climate Ambition in the Next Round of NDCs” showcases the opportunity to limit the impact of #ClimateChange by raising ambitions in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) due at #COP30 in Brazil. Through industry and government collaboration and the #technology available, progress towards a #NetZero economy is both technically and economically possible.

The BDSU methodology presents an approach to quantifying the biodiversity of an area based on measures of species richness, which in turn are used to develop corresponding scores for biodiversity ‘intactness.’ Together with the size of the forests involved, these scores will determine the number of Biodiversity Stewardship Units (BDSUs) that a project can ultimately issue. Communities can subsequently sell BDSUs to earn revenue for conserving biodiversity and the various ecosystem services they provide. BDSUs are designed to drive funding directly to IP&LCs who have successfully maintained highly intact ecosystems. While market-based mechanisms, such as REDD+, have created unprecedented levels of finance for Indigenous Peoples and Forest Communities, existing market-based finance for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation does not incentivize the protection of intact ecosystems. BDSUs acknowledge the value of intact ecosystems and create a benchmark of ecological integrity. With a USD 700 billion dollar finance gap in achieving international conservation goals by 2030, BDSUs offer a way for corporations to invest in nature, while simultaneously supporting several key goals and targets set by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

How does sustainable financing in marine protected areas really work? What do our findings from Vidaththalthivu Nature Reserve tell us about practicalities in conservation finance? Presentations from our recent Multi-stakeholder Dialogue are now online! https://lnkd.in/gky6XDDM

Is public deliberation the key to climate action? What is the role of climate assemblies? How can we best engage citizens to meaningfully participate in climate decision-making? These were some of the questions discussed in the second event in the #StockholmSeries of Public Lectures on #ClimateChange and #Democracy, on 11 June with Nicole Curato. The video recording and the lecture manuscript are now available ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dXEaK3YP

🛎️ New Briefing: How will the climate and nature crises impact education? The impacts include: - more learning loss - lower performance due to heat & pollution - mismatch in skills needed for green jobs Read the briefing to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRrPBMEp #Climatechange #education

Interesting Nature published study on the right way to price emissions (aka #carbonpricing): Put a fee on all GHG emissions (upstream), and disburse all revenues in equal amounts to all residents (monthly, digitally). This is the #climateincentive, and it is simple, fair, and effective. Check out the policy primer (https://lnkd.in/d3_Jg9pE). https://lnkd.in/d-rfbhcN

📣 Open consultation on the Nature-Positive Economy 📣 Nature Positive was a hot topic at COP16, but what IS a Nature Positive Economy? - Does it mean some nature-negative economic activities can still happen, as long as the overall outcome is nature positive? - Do we get there by focusing on practical solutions to reduce harmful acitivies? Or by working on deeper systems change (such as how we value nature)? The EU-funded GoNaturePositive! project has put together 5 key messages setting out what we think a nature-positive economy might look like. We want to bring this to businesses, policy-makers and citizens as an agenda for action. But we need your opinion to help shape this agenda! Please take a look at this *short* survey by November 30th: https://lnkd.in/eJuAtmQW #NaturePositive

Our co-chair, Lim Li Ching, highlights the key outcomes of #COP16: ✅ Growing recognition of the rights & role of Indigenous & small-scale producers in biodiversity protection ✅ Adoption of levy from sectors benefitting from DSI use (including the biotech industry) to share those benefits more fairly ⚠️ Growing business-driven biodiversity agenda—business reps doubled since #COP15! ⚠️ Negotiations ongoing on issues central to the monitoring & implementing of the #GlobalBiodiversityFramework ⚠️ Mainstreaming of #agroecology still needed Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eD_JuNHY

Finance is making significant strides towards a #NaturePositive future. At #COP16, a new coalition of conservation organizations introduced a framework to mobilize $100 billion for nature and climate through Debt-for-Nature Swaps. This innovative approach allows countries with high debt burdens to redirect financial resources towards conservation investments, bolstering biodiversity and climate resilience. By 2025, the coalition aims to establish robust standards for governance, trust fund management, and risk mitigation. This development is crucial for financial professionals interested in sustainable finance and environmental impact investing, offering clarity and opportunities in these key areas. These debt swaps go beyond providing relief; they aim to create enduring value by enhancing ecological resilience. The initiative aligns with the Kunming-Montreal 30x30 goal, working towards safeguarding 30% of global land and sea by 2030. This groundbreaking initiative underscores how structured financial products can support conservation objectives, opening up new avenues in sustainable finance that deliver both returns and meaningful environmental benefits. #DebtForNature #SustainableFinance #ImpactInvesting #NatureFinance #NaturalCapital
