I found the below quotes from the attached article interesting to share in this post. I encourage you to read the whole article. "Climate security narratives are encouraging us to focus on the symptoms, not the causes, of climate vulnerability in conflict-affected countries." "If we are serious about building climate resilience in conflict-affected countries, we would do better to look more closely at relationships in the opposite direction. In fact, it is conflict and fragility which drive vulnerability to climate change." Thanks Sophie Tholstrup for sharing 🌹

Quotable Quotes, 10/12/2024, On, the need to strike a balance between megalithic structures/stones and socio-economic empowerment, Very often, various establishments get it wrong for their over-emphasis on protection ends up proscribing sustentative socio-economic development and what is required the world over is the need to evolve perceptive policies that would not only protect the structures/stones but would also enable effective socio-economic development. Given the fact that bureaucracies the world over function in a staid manner, unless the policies are made proactive, status quo would remain much to the detriment of genuine socio-economic development. ©kishorevaangal   Most Humbly, Reverentially, Respectfully & Responsibly Submitted ET AL Dr. Kishore Vaangal, Ph.D. [email protected]

At #FfDForum last week, different partners demanded more focus on development effectiveness. Taking place in mid-2025, the 4th Financing for Development Forum in Spain will be a key opportunity for the world to reform the global financial architecture and strengthen the means of implementation of the SDGs to ensure that it serves those who need it most. Given the compounding challenges we face today, the quality and quantity of development financing is more important than ever.   📑Read about how CSO reps, partner countries & development partners called for effectiveness in key discussions: https://lnkd.in/eZunUuCf The Reality of Aid Network, IBON International, OECD - OCDE, Vitalice Meja, ActionAid, Carsten Staur, Navid Hanif, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness

#WeekendWatch from the ever wonderful Alliance magazine on Philanthropy and the Common Good: https://lnkd.in/emeumvms The atomisation of society, an economy based on competition and growing distrust of politics and of institutions in general: these are some of the factors that have led to a diminished commitment to the common good (broadly, anything that benefits and is shared by all members of a given community). Yet, thus broadly understood, pursuit of the common good should be a necessary step in producing more equitable societies and a planet that continues to be habitable. But the devil is in the detail. There is more disagreement than agreement about what comprises the common good. Questions we will explore in the webinar include: Is the common good any more than an abstraction? - Who defines it? - Whose responsibility is it to secure it and, more particularly for today’s discussion, what role does philanthropy have in revivifying the notion and helping to secure its various elements, especially where philanthropy itself is one of the institutions facing scepticism? - Can philanthropy’s commitment to this issue help to restore its legitimacy and the necessary behaviour to become a societal norm for the future?

The will to respond to disasters is not sufficient. Inspiring community-led organizations FUNDICCEP, MOPAWI, and Asociacion Agroforestal Brisas del Lago, have focused on preparation and resilience through strategic partnerships, including the Partnership for Disaster Recovery and Resilience (PDRR), a co-funding alliance led by the Inter-American Foundation in partnership with the Climate and Land Use Alliance, Ford Foundation, International Community Foundation, Tinker Foundation, The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI) and individual philanthropists. Through small grants, the Partnership supports strong civil society organizations that build community resilience, mitigate the impacts of extreme weather and climate, and strengthen economic, civic, and social ties among community members. The Partnership also promotes capacity building, knowledge exchanges, and peer-to-peer learning among organizations experienced in recovering from and preparing for natural disasters. #CADF2024 #Resilience #Disasters

What a difference a space makes! Where the #ShapingFeministForeignPolicy conference in Mexico saw a female majority (and some male allies), the first #prepmeeting of the Financing for Development #FFD4 could do with more female voices at the table and more #genderequality on the menu! With Chido Nyaruwata, one of the Walkie-Talkies of #WalkingtheTalk we are in #AddisAbaba this week. The first two days were all about setting the scene: expectations of countries, international organizations and (too) few civil society voices about the year long preparations leading up to the #FFD4 conference to be held in Sevilla in July 2025. The clearest messages: 1. Accelerate financial investments into #SDGs as only 17% are on track and we have an annual financial gap of 2.5 to 4 trillion USD. 2. Transforming the international financial architecture, especially when it comes to issues of debt (and the role of Multilateral Development Banks), voice and agency of Majority World countries. 3. While ODA remains a relevant tool (and Majority World countries reminded Global North of the 0.7% commitment), there is a shift to more blended finance (particularly to address the climate crisis), private sector investments, domestic resource mobilization and innovative financing. And how did #genderequality, #CSOparticipation and #youthpower fare? Not so well, only a few country delegations mentioned specific commitments and expectations around these issues and/or meaningful participation. And sometimes silence spoke louder, like in the case of my own country #theNetherlands, a leader on gender equality, not even mentioning it at all! And this is despite common knowledge, reiterated once again by the Deputy Minister for International Development of #Norway @Bjorg Sandkjaer that the best strategy for wealth creation is an investment in #womenandgirls! We have got our work cut out for us! Let's do this...

GSFN At COP16 Colombia the voices of TERRE HAUTE CHAPTER NO 336 WOMEN OF THE MOOSE were clear: women face violence and countless challenges while working to protect nature. We call for equal representation of women in all COP16 activities. It is crucial to address these issues immediately by integrating gender-sensitive indicators into all solutions and initiatives. Inclusive funding flows must be at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that women are protected, supported, and empowered in the fight for a sustainable future. Let's commit to a future where gender equality is central to environmental action. 🌍 #COP16 #GenderEquality #WomenInLeadership #Sustainability #InclusiveFunding

During the #INC4 #plasticstreaty negotiations in Ottawa we will be presenting an inspiring solution designed in the global south which includes waste pickers from the beginning. #DRS for #reuse and #recycling with waste pickers is one of the instruments to ensure that more than 90% of the beverage packaging which is currently littered is collected and reused or recycled. Much more reuse and recycling, more security and income for waste pickers and less littering and plastic pollution. I know it sounds too nice to be true but that's what #zerowaste is about; a triple win for society and the environment. We should not aim at nothing less!

Thrilled to announce the launch of Policy-Enhanced Impact Investing, a bold initiative the LAVA Strategies team has spent the last year shaping alongside the incredible team at Blue Haven Initiative, a pioneer in impact investing for over a decade. Our journey began with a simple but powerful question: What if impact investors expanded their capital stack to include public policy engagement and political giving? Could this amplify their societal impact? After countless hours of collaboration and conversations with field experts, we’re excited to share this transformative new approach. Policy-Enhanced Impact Investing brings together a community of forward-thinking investors focused on aligning their financial, philanthropic, and political capital to help shape public policy. This is about creating new levers to catalyze change and break down barriers in areas like clean energy and financial inclusion. We’ll dive deeper into our initial policy focus areas in the coming weeks. Follow along and join the conversation on the Policy-Enhanced Impact Investing LinkedIn page. Together, we can reimagine what’s possible. 🚀 #ImpactInvesting #PolicyEnhanced #BlueHavenInitiative #LAVAStrategies #CatalyticChange

Today, we take the first step to close the financing gap for nature in Bolivia. I am honored to witness the signing of a historic Memorandum of Understanding at COP16, bringing together World Wildlife Fund, the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, and our partners in a shared commitment to sustainable conservation. Bolivia is rich in cultural and natural diversity, containing parts of the Amazon, the Cerrado, the Gran Chaco, and the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland. Though it holds a smaller percentage of the Pantanal compared to Brazil, Bolivia hosts 75% of the protected areas within the biome—a tangible demonstration of Bolivia’s conservation leadership. Through Project Finance for Permanence (PFP), we aim to enhance management effectiveness and secure permanent financing for all 24 national protected areas, covering 17.9 million hectares, and three Indigenous protected areas within Charagua, Bolivia’s first autonomous Indigenous municipality. This moment signifies the beginning of a collaborative, long-term effort to ensure local and regional freshwater security and build a thriving bioeconomy by safeguarding critical habitats for both nature and the communities that depend on them in Bolivia.
