The World Bank report published May 15: "Climate change adaptation (CCA) is essential not only to bolster climate resilience and curtail losses but to reap additional socioeconomic and environmental benefits. It is complementary to climate change mitigation (CCM), as the next twenty years of climate change are already locked in, and early action is needed to prepare for the possible larger changes that will follow. … Acting on both climate mitigation and adaptation is economically beneficial and has broader social and environmental benefits. Together these actions can reduce direct losses resulting from disaster and climate impacts while enhancing growth and providing trade and job opportunities, productivity gains, emission reductions and air quality improvements, ecological value, and biodiversity.” #climateadaptation #climateaction #resilience #climateimpacts #sustainability #AdaptationLeader #WorldBank Zuzana Stanton-Geddes Solène Dengler Paul Watkiss Jun Rentschler Maryia Markhvida

I see immense potential in actions that not only reduce emissions but also enhance resilience, and appreciated the section in this piece that spoke to finding synergy between adaptation and mitigation climate initiatives. Integrated approaches make for a climate-resilient and sustainable world. #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience #ClimateAction

What is Just Transition to climate resilience? 💡 "Our climate is changing. We are experiencing and will experience the impacts of climate change, even if current efforts to mitigate climate change will eventually reduce the extent of change. We need to act now to reduce the impacts on our planet but in doing so some of us will be affected disproportionately in our everyday lives." Read more from our #Regions4Climate partner Johannes Klein at Demos Helsinki about how social justice and equity are implemented in the transition towards climate resilience. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eT3Bi33B

Purposeful leaders will take note of Goal 13 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Purposeful leaders can learn more about the progress towards this goal at https://lnkd.in/e3Vb-Tah

In recent decades, there has been a realization that local communities have developed intricate knowledge systems that are used to forecast climatic events, plan resource use, and adapt to climatic changes. #Climatechange and resilience experts are calling for the integration of local knowledge systems with scientific know-how to develop sustainable responses to the challenges of climate change https://lnkd.in/dKMkjsTB

SDSN Networks Introduces New Projects on Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation 🌍 We are thrilled to share our latest article describing our newest initiatives aimed at addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation! 📢 New Blog Post: Our recent blog post showcases two groundbreaking projects: 1. CARMINE Project: Focuses on enhancing climate resilience in metropolitan regions across Europe by co-developing a knowledge-based framework for climate adaptation and mitigation actions. 2. Pathfinder Initiative: This project synthesizes lessons for achieving zero-carbon societies and supports evidence-informed decision-making. Both projects bring together leading institutions from academia, industry, and public organizations to drive sustainable development and climate resilience. We are proud to be actively involved in both the CARMINE project and the Pathfinder Initiative, contributing our expertise to their success. 🔗 Read the full article to learn more about our efforts and join us on this journey towards a sustainable future: https://lnkd.in/e2wmMzx7 Together, let's make ambitious goals a reality! 🌱✨ #ClimateChange #Sustainability #CARMINE #PathfinderInitiative #ClimateResilience #HorizonEurope #ClimateMitigation #ClimateAdaptation

In the op-ed titled: “Fighting Climate Change Requires a Different Mindset" by Sonia Guajajara, #Brazil’s Minister of Indigenous Peoples, writes: “The climate disasters unfolding around the world – including unprecedented floods in Brazil, Africa, and China, heat waves in Asia and the Middle East, and persistent droughts in Europe and Latin America – show that the planet is at a critical juncture. Fortunately, we can still seize the opportunity to redefine our paradigms of economic and social development. Alongside preserving and restoring our forests, we must end our dependence on fossil fuels and embrace renewables.” Continue reading the op-ed on our website 🔗👇 #hearwaves #climate #ESG #climatechange #climateaction

#ClimateActions need firm handling through #CooperativeFederalism. The Secretariat's two-part series highlights the climate agenda for the new government, stressing that adaptation and mitigation must go hand in hand. This concluding part focuses on boosting adaptation and resilience to climate change. Experts advocate establishing an inter-governmental #ClimateChange body to monitor, analyse, and develop solutions for specific issues across diverse regions.  Want to learn how the inter-governmental body can remedy the problem?
