#COP29: The CCR combines the expertise of over 50 scientists from all eight faculties of the University of Augsburg and the Science Centre for the Environment. CCR members regularly participate in the UNFCCC COPs. Some of them also observing COP29 in a climate-friendly manner this year with a virtual badge from Augsburg. Some of the scientific objectives being pursued: Harald Kunstmann, Chair of Regional Climate and Hydrology and Director of the Center for Climate Resilience, is conducting research on the development of early warning systems for drought and heat in close collaboration with decision-makers. He would like to learn about the development of new implementation initiatives for climate services and about the possibilities of new partnerships between research and practice. This is particularly important for countries in the Global South. Through its interdisciplinary cooperation, the CCR is able to comprehensively address the challenges of climate change. The main objective of the CCR is to develop implementable strategies for adapting to the consequences of climate change at the regional, national and international level, based on inter- and transdisciplinary research. Harald Kunstmann emphasises: ‘Thanks to its interdisciplinary expertise, the CCR is represented in a wide range of fields of negotiation.’ Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann, deputy director of the CCR and director at IEM Institut für Umweltmedizin (TUNE Institute for Environmental Medicine and Integrative Medicine), also emphasises: ‘The climate crisis is a health crisis. Our health is inextricably linked to an intact ecosystem. We must act now to build resilience and prepare health systems globally for the challenges of climate change.’

#WorldElephantDay Earth’s gentle giants face many threats. As habitats shrink, elephants venture beyond the boundaries of the South Luangwa National Park, crossing the Luangwa River and coming into contact with people, with consequences including crop-raiding, property damage and loss of life. They are also poached for their ivory and impacted by the illegal hunting of bushmeat as they are unintentionally caught in wire snares.   In partnership with Zambia’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife, CSL addresses human-elephant conflict through various initiatives. Our Rapid Response Unit operates year-round, responding to conflict incidents. We use chilli bombers to deter elephants from entering crop fields, construct ‘smelly’ and solar fences in key conflict hotspots, and build durable grain stores to protect harvests. Additionally, we work with farmers to grow chilli, turmeric, and lemongrass that elephants avoid.

🛡️ Ensuring Safety in Education Settings: Preparedness for Major Incidents 🛡️ As guardians of knowledge and learning, education settings must prioritize protective security and preparedness to effectively respond to terrorism and other major incidents. Recent global events underscore the importance of proactive measures to safeguard students, staff, and visitors alike. Preparation is key. Educational institutions should develop comprehensive security plans tailored to their unique needs and vulnerabilities. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing security protocols, and providing regular training for staff and students on emergency procedures. Collaboration is crucial. Schools, colleges, and universities should establish partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, emergency responders, and community stakeholders to enhance coordination and communication during crises. Together, we can form a united front against threats to our educational environments. Vigilance is paramount. By fostering a culture of awareness and reporting, education settings can empower individuals to identify and address potential risks before they escalate. Regular drills and exercises can further reinforce preparedness and ensure a swift, coordinated response when faced with adversity. In an ever-evolving landscape, proactive security measures and preparedness efforts are essential to creating safe and resilient education settings. Let's work together to prioritize safety, resilience, and peace of mind for all members of our educational communities.

🌍 L.I.T. in Zwickau: Integration and Opportunities for the Future! 🚀 In Zwickau, we see how integration and the job market can go hand in hand. Despite the significant labor shortage in the area, targeted integration of migrants presents a crucial opportunity. With around 7.1% of our workforce being foreign nationals, the L.I.T. Automotive Competence Center demonstrates just how vital these employees are. 💪🌟 »Without workers from abroad, no matter where they come from, our success wouldn't be possible« emphasizes Carsten Krauß, our site manager on the ground. 🌍 However, despite the progress, bureaucratic hurdles still need to be overcome. 🏢🛂 At L.I.T., integration is not just talked about—it's lived. Teams are organized by language groups to facilitate collaboration. 👥🗣️ Of course, we also maintain minimum requirements for German language skills to ensure smooth communication. 🇩🇪✍️ Carsten and his team are always advocating for their people. »We've fought several times to prevent employees from being deported« he shares. 💼✈️ What do you think? Is integration in the job market the key to solving the labor shortage?💬 Share your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️ #integration #jobmarket #laborshortage #diversity #logistics Quelle: https://buff.ly/3z7RA4f Foto: © Jochen Walther

When disasters strike, we often think of food, water, and shelter as essentials—but what about sanitation? Safe, resilient toilets during such times become much more than just a comfort. For women and children, having a private, secure toilet isn’t just about hygiene; it’s about dignity and safety when they are most vulnerable. And let’s not forget the environment—resilient toilets prevent waste from seeping into water sources, keeping nature and people safe. Preparedness truly begins with the basics, and toilets should be at the top of the list. Because when it comes to disasters, sanitation is survival. #WorldToiletDay2024 #ResilientSanitation2030 #SanitationForAll #CountdownTo2030 #DisasterResilience #ClimateResilience #DRR #ClimateDisasters #DisasterResilientSanitation

Youth Citizens Observers Network YCON Central Darfur State   Urgent Report on Road Separation between West Darfur and Central Darfur   Road Separation The continuous rainfall in West Darfur state led to the separation of the road between the states of West Darfur and Central Darfur, on the 5th of August, at Bari Bridge in Morni area, in the locality of Mornei in West Darfur state   Shortage of goods and high prices The disruption of the road has led to a significant rise in the prices of food and consumer goods in Central Darfur state, and the crisis – already deepening – may be exacerbated by the lack of access to more consumer goods and fuel to the state.   Upcoming crisis: The situation in Central Darfur state foreshadows a food gap and an economic crisis, which could develop into famine due to severe food shortages.   Appeal: The Youth Citizens Observers Network YCON calls on local, international and UN organizations to pay attention to the danger of the road interruption between West Darfur and Central Darfur states on the humanitarian situation in Central Darfur, and to intervene quickly to respond to the crisis by creating alternatives to avoid a humanitarian disaster in the state. #YCON #keep_eyes_on #Sudan
