According to UNICEF, around 1 billion children globally face extreme risks due to climate-related impacts. Natural hazards like earthquakes and hurricanes can turn into disasters when combined with vulnerability and insufficient prevention measures. On October 13th, the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction focus on how global efforts aim to reduce exposure to such risks. This year’s theme, “Empowering the Next Generation for a Resilient Future,” highlights the critical role of education in safeguarding our future. At LIFE Reseau, we’re addressing these challenges by retrofitting wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and reducing infiltration in sewer networks. Our mission is to prevent overflows during storms, protecting both the environment and public health. Learn more about the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction and how Life Reseau is contributing to prevent potential risks related to water and wastewater infrastructures👇 https://lnkd.in/dwvFrA9E #DisasterRiskReduction #LifeReseau #Sustainability #ClimateAction #WWTP #ClimateChange #LifeEurope #LIFEAmplifiers

🌍 [#COP29] As global leaders gather for major COP conferences this year, including COP16 on #biodiversity, COP29 on #climatechange, and COP16 on desertification, one thing is clear: interconnected environmental challenges demand unified action.   🚨 However, the gap between ambition and action remains vast, highlighted by the disappointing negotiations around the new collective quantified goal (NCQG).   From a bigger perspective, these negative signals are indeed balanced by the growing corporate momentum of the climate-biodiversity nexus, highlighting a growing demand for innovative private-sector financing solutions driving transformative change.   As political shifts may test global commitments, it is vital for market players to remain steadfast in advancing sustainability goals; and encourage more action in view of COP30 where countries should bring the world closer to the goal of staying below 2°C.   👉 Explore our latest paper to uncover actionable insights from COP discussions, and learn how #sustainablefinance can lead the charge in mitigating these interrelated crises: https://lnkd.in/ezsqeKEY

🌍 Key Highlights from #COP29 - Day 8: 🌍 The Day 8 of COP29, Human Development / Children and Youth / Health / Education Day, witnessed significant climate action: 1. The COP29 Presidency has officially recognized 11 countries for their leadership in submitting their Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) ahead of the December 31st deadline. Additionally, the Presidency acknowledged the efforts of all Parties committed to ensuring the timely submission of their BTRs, underlining the importance of transparency in global climate action. 2. COP29 has successfully concluded negotiations on Article 6.8 of the Paris Agreement, which promotes international cooperation through non-market approaches to implementing national climate plans, including mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development. With this milestone, the full operationalization of Article 6 is closer, with only parts of Articles 6.2 and 6.4 remaining for final agreement. 3) The COP29 Presidency has collaborated with global leaders, multisector partners, and UN agencies such as World Health Organization, UNICEF, International Labour Organization, and UNESCO. Key achievements include: a) Joint Statement on the Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience: Adopted to enhance cooperation between UN agencies, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), and Multilateral Climate Funds (MCFs) to address the impacts of climate change on human development. b) Guiding Principles on Human Development for Climate Resilience: Established to provide a strategic direction for advancing human development in the context of climate resilience. c) COP Presidencies Continuity Coalition for Climate and Health: Formed with the #UAE, #Egypt, the #UK, #Brazil, and WHO to advance health-related commitments from previous COPs and strengthen health integration into climate action.

🌍 Islands like #Madagascar are biodiversity hotspots and among the most threatened landscapes. Isolation over millions of years has led to unique species evolving. #Forests2Follow These species, highly specialized to their habitats, are vulnerable to invasive species, habitat loss, and climate change. 🚨 In Madagascar, many species may be lost before they're even discovered. Protecting and restoring forests is crucial to preserving this incredible biodiversity for future generations. 🌿 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eNQjHmak

🌍 EDF is on the ground at the #Bonn Climate Talks, tracking key discussions as climate negotiators set the stage for #COP29 in Baku and subsequently, COP30 in Brazil. The #SB60 talks (the 60th sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies) are a crucial opportunity to gauge progress and address challenges before the major climate conference in November. One thing we’re watching closely at Bonn: #ClimateFinance. At COP29, the world will set the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) to determine how much money we need to address climate change. It’s not just about the amount of money—but also how we ensure that climate-impacted countries and communities can access it without taking on further financial burdens. We’re also watching discussions on: ➡️ Ensuring equity through the Just Transition Work Programme ➡️ Accelerating action on sustainable food and agriculture ➡️ Making progress on Article 6: Advancing cooperative implementation ➡️ Treating our oceans as critical allies in climate mitigation ➡️ Strengthening partnerships with all actors for coordinated climate action Our experts are advocating for robust international cooperation and quality financial commitments. 👉 Dive into our full blog for more details and learn how EDF is working to support a positive outcome: https://lnkd.in/ekApnTeh #ClimateAction #UNFCCC #COP29 #COP30 #SustainableFuture #JustTransition #ClimateFinance

𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢-𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 In a world facing growing environmental challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation, the next generation of leaders will play a pivotal role in determining the course of our planet's future. In recognition of this critical need, FXB International Climate Advocates presents the Francophone Program of Climate Defenders which aims to mobilize and support French-speaking individuals and communities in the fight against climate change, focusing on the critical sector of agri-food systems. This initiative recognizes the intricate link between agriculture, food security, and climate resilience, particularly in Francophone regions. Agriculture is the backbone of many economies, providing livelihoods for millions and shaping the fabric of local cultures. However, climate change is exacerbating existing development challenges, threatening food sovereignty, and undermining the resilience of agricultural systems. The Francophone Program of Climate Defenders seeks to address these interconnected challenges by empowering French-speaking leaders to drive climate action and sustainable development. We are honored to have our founder, Mbah Patience Atim, participate in the Francophone Program of Climate Defenders, a testament to our organization's dedication to climate action and sustainable agriculture. Atim Mbah, founder of Green Farmlands, is a pacesetter in promoting eco-friendly farming practices and supporting local food systems. Her groundbreaking work showcases the spirit of the Francophone Program of Climate Defenders, demonstrating a deep understanding of the intricate relationships between sustainable agriculture, food security, and climate resilience. Through this program, FXB Climate Advocates will provide comprehensive support to communities, fostering a new generation of climate leaders equipped to navigate the complexities of climate change. By leveraging local expertise and solutions, the program aims to promote climate-resilient agriculture practices, enhance food security, and protect the natural ecosystems that underpin human well-being. #FXBClimateAdvocates #GreenFarmlands #Climatechange
