As Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger distance themselves from ECOWAS, millions in the Sahel—one of the fastest-warming regions—are left vulnerable to severe droughts and unpredictable rainfall. Farmers have tried adapting by changing planting dates, diversifying crops, and planting drought-resistant varieties. But as climate finance expert Noudéhouénou Gandonou warns, "These adaptations are not enough to counter the escalating severity and frequency of droughts."

🔴 The new draft finance deal at #COP29 falls way short of the $1.3 trillion a year that's needed. This is an insult to people all over the world who are on the frontlines of climate change. ⏳ We urgently need governments to step up and deliver.

✋We are supporting #LaborRights by developing online platforms. ✋ Here are three ways our platforms can help preserve the labor rights: 1. #Transparency and Visibility: Online platforms can create systems where transparency is paramount. By making conditions, wages, and rights visible to all users, platforms can discourage exploitative practices. They could feature tools for workers to report unsafe conditions, underpayment, or other violations directly to authorities or to the platform for immediate action. 2. #Education and Resources: Platforms could provide resources for workers to educate themselves about their rights. This includes access to training modules on labor laws relevant to their region or sector, accessible guides on negotiating contracts, and forums for sharing experiences and advice among peers. Empowered with knowledge, workers can better advocate for their rights. 3. Direct #Feedback Mechanisms: By establishing robust feedback systems, platforms can ensure that workers' grievances are heard and addressed. This could include regular surveys, a help desk dedicated to labor issues, and direct lines of communication with platform governance. Feedback mechanisms help platforms respond quickly to the evolving needs of workers, ensuring that labor rights are actively upheld. These methods leverage technology to reinforce labor rights and ensure fair treatment in the rapidly expanding gig economy. Let us know if you want to hear more ☀️

Online #disinformation related to the catastrophic floods in Spain has, again, made a harrowing situation worse, hindering emergency services and exploiting residents' fear, anger and grief, reporting by AFP shows. False evacuation warnings, alternative emergency phone numbers, and misleading information about dam dismantling caused confusion, unnecessary panic and added traffic for emergency responders, as more than 210 died in the floods and dozens are still missing. https://lnkd.in/gC6v4jPK #LearnThenLike #StudyThenShare #PonderThenPost

📡 Can earth observations from satellites coupled with ground big data provide insights for due diligence requirements in a sustainable cocoa production market? Pioneered by Alfonso Escolar González in partnership with Earth Big Data, this pilot aims to answer just that by integrating satellite data on forest dynamics and cocoa yields with ground-level data collected via mobile phones on soil characteristics and other factors. By leveraging this combined dataset and applying machine learning algorithms, the goal is to generate reliable insights that can benefit both farmers and buyers: farmers can use the data to optimise their production, while buyers and investors can more easily identify suppliers that meet their sustainability requirements. To learn more about how this innovative use of frontier technologies is driving sustainable development in the cocoa sector, read below 👇 #Colombia #Cocoa Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office - Research, Science and Innovation Brink Results for Development DT Global

In times of crisis, it can be challenging to bring humanitarian aid to people in need. Doctors who want to get involved may struggle to match volunteer opportunities to their skill sets and interests. And NGOs may have difficulty finding and vetting doctors at the time of need. Which is why it’s so important for NGOs to have “ready reserve” rosters they can turn to once medical missions begin or resume. H1 Connect has successfully enlisted more than 7,000 HCPs from around the world to help connect them with global health opportunities and likewise supports NGOs in their search to find qualified HCPs to deploy.

🇪🇺 EU is stepping up with €5.4 million in humanitarian aid to support flood-affected areas in the Sahel, Lake Chad and Burkina Faso regions.    📣 Flooding caused by climate change has led to destruction of homes, health facilities, water systems and roads in many areas in the Sahel and Lake Chad regions. In Chad, Niger and Burkina Faso, millions of people have been impacted.    This funding is essential to meet the humanitarian needs of food, shelter, clean water, and sanitation services, ensuring support reaches the most vulnerable.
