I am reading the fascinating book "On The Move" by Abrahm Lustgarten. I must share as I go along: “as many as 1 in 3 people on the planet will find the places they live unmanageably hot or dry by 2070” “Today, less than 1% of the planet’s surface falls into a category that the researchers determined to be too hot or too desert-like, to comfortably support civilization. But by 2070, as the climate niche shifts, nearly 20% of the planet will fall into that same category of extreme heat that puts it outside the human comfort zone” “The best living conditions on the North American continent will jump dramatically northward within 50 years” “Younger populations, composed of families and people in pursuit of jobs, will likely be the first to leave, while aging populations and the poor are more likely to be trapped in place” People will move. The built environment will transform as this happens. #adapt #climatemigration #builtenvironment

On Earth, the vast array of plant species each contributes uniquely to the ecosystem. Yet, as humans, we often fall into the trap of conforming to societal norms, emulating those around us rather than embracing our individuality. By honouring our own ideas and staying true to ourselves, we can discover how to complement one another and strengthen society as a whole. It's important to seek guidance from others and learn from their expertise, but never forget the unique strengths you bring to the world. Don't confine yourself to someone else's journey; embrace your uniqueness and you'll pave your way to success in life. https://lnkd.in/dbvj2NVy | www.wolfgangsonnenburg.com

As human beings, efforts to keep humanity alive include promoting empathy, cooperation, and sustainability. This involves advocating for social justice, environmental conservation, and equitable access to resources such as education, healthcare, and basic needs. To distribute resources equally, we can implement fair policies, address systemic inequalities, and prioritize the needs of marginalized communities. Additionally, fostering a culture of sharing, collaboration and mutual support can help ensure that everyone has a fair chance to thrive.

EcoCultural Communicator, Program Coordinator, DJV/Diversity and Inclusion Strategist at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)/Retired US Navy Submarine Veteran/Insider Threat & Mass Shooting Survivor
🌟 Empowering Youth and Bridging Gaps in Conservation! 🌟 I recently had the privilege of attending the Youth Summit 2.0 at the US Department of Commerce building in Washington, DC, on June 18, 2024, in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. This summit brought together outreach coordinators from FEMA, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, LULAC UTD, AmeriCorps, and many other minority-serving organizations and institutions. The event was a fantastic opportunity to discuss partnerships and synergies that can enhance community outreach and conservation efforts. We shared resources and best practices using the the ability to create various working groups and channels in the Microsoft Teams - Communities on the mobile platform. These interactions have laid the groundwork for future partnerships, projects, collaborations, and conversations about changing the face of conservation. A key focus was the use of technology to bridge gaps and break down barriers to access for underserved and underrepresented communities. We explored providing high-speed internet access and enabling kids to see real-time weather and NOAA map data. This kind of information can help communities understand their local environments, such as identifying heat islands, and direct services and career opportunities to these areas. We also discussed creating pathways for young people in these communities. By providing direct access to resources, local centers of influence can become resource providers, removing intermediaries and making the government more accessible. Programs like the National Park Service Junior Rangers program, which engages children as young as five, were highlighted as potential models for creating a preschool-to-park-ranger pipeline. Restoring equity to coastal communities affected by the climate crisis, often exacerbated by historical redlining practices, is essential. We need to go directly to conservationists, citizens, and communities with resources, ensuring local faith organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of America have access to vital programs. I look forward to continuing to grow this network of individuals committed to joining the fight against climate change. This summit was a significant step forward in fostering impactful partnerships between business, faith-based, and community-based organizations to promote equity, job creation, and economic growth. #Conservation #YouthSummit #CommunityOutreach #ClimateChange #Equity #TechnologyForGood #Partnerships #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJustice

Exciting Clean Energy Updates from New York and Beyond! I’m thrilled to share some significant developments in the clean energy sector that are shaping a sustainable future. Here’s what’s happening: New York’s Major Investment in Clean Energy Workforce Development Governor Kathy Hochul announced $11.6 million in funding to support clean energy workforce development, focusing on disadvantaged communities. Highlights include: - New Workforce Training Programs: Four programs providing upskilling in renewable energy, EV charging, building electrification, and energy-intensive industries. - Support for Transitioning Workers: $5 million for pre-apprenticeships and wrap-around services like childcare, transportation, and housing stability. - Youth Apprenticeships: Collaboration with Say Yes Buffalo for structured apprenticeships, combining paid on-the-job learning and mentorship for high school graduates. This investment is about creating equitable opportunities for all New Yorkers to participate in the clean energy economy. Globally, 2023 was landmarked the year for clean energy deployment: - Solar PV and Wind Growth: Annual additions soared by 85% and 60%, reaching 540 GW, led by China. - Electric Vehicle Boom: Sales grew by 35%, hitting 14 million vehicles globally. China and the EU lead, with one-in-three and one-in-four new cars being electric. - Hydrogen Electrolyser Capacity: Grew by 360%, thanks to China’s efforts. However, clean energy expansion remains concentrated in advanced economies and China, highlighting the need for more inclusive global efforts. The Bigger Picture - Impact and Opportunities: From 2019 to 2023, clean energy growth outpaced fossil fuels by two-to-one, significantly reducing global fossil fuel demand. Technologies like solar PV, wind power, nuclear power, electric cars, and heat pumps have collectively avoided annual fossil fuel demand equivalent to 5% of global demand in 2023. This progress underscores the transformative power of clean energy and its critical role in mitigating climate change and fostering economic growth. Join the Movement! For those interested in diving deeper into clean energy opportunities, upskilling, and training, check out the New York Office of Just Energy Transition’s https://www.labor.ny.gov and sign up for their email list. Together, we can drive forward a clean energy revolution that benefits everyone. Stay tuned for more updates and let’s continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in clean energy! #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #WorkforceDevelopment #GreenJobs #ElectricVehicles #SolarPower #WindPower #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction

Update!!! EcoJustice, is hitting the ground running! We’ve gotten applications so far but still looking for motivated individuals to fill some positions. A bit more about our program… EcoJustice is an organization based on unveiling the secrets behind environmental racism -- systemic racism that disproportionally effects the environments of people of color. Oftentimes, people of color here that environmentalism and sustainability are "for white people", and fail to realize that they are the most affected by the climate crisis. EcoJustice aims to create community trainings and "crash courses on EJ" specifically targeting people of all ages, as well as partner with other community orgs. to create productive, helpful trainings for the LB community! Our aims are simple: 1. To educate Long Beach citizens, despite age, about the reality of environmental racism and enlighten on how the climate crisis directly affects them. 2. Target and educate people of color as they are the most affected by the climate crisis. 3. Create a sense of awareness and urgency to create feasible change in our community. 4. Organize and collaborate with other local organizations to lead citizens in different ways to create a positive impact, and better the world for themselves. These roles are all available to do virtually except for lecturer/presenter. To apply…click the link! https://lnkd.in/grzn4FGk

Beside our professional achievements and hierarchy, we have the opportunity to positively impact our world. Starting from your family, co-workers, and stakeholders; empathy and kindness in professional settings not only foster a positive work environment but also contribute to increased productivity and employee well-being. Taking a moment to express gratitude, offering assistance, or acknowledging a colleague's efforts can create a ripple effect throughout the workplace. When professionals extend kindness to one another, it builds a culture of collaboration, trust, and mutual support. These actions go beyond the surface level, influencing employee morale and job satisfaction. Leaders who prioritize kindness set the tone for the entire organization. By fostering a culture that values empathy and consideration, they create a workplace where individuals feel valued and motivated. This, in turn, has a positive impact on team dynamics, creativity, and the overall success of the company. Thanks to all the organizations that gave me the opportunity lo learn, interact, and share my experience: WTS Toronto Area Chapter (mentorship program), Women in Geosynthetics, International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) IGS Diversity, Canadian Geotechnical Society - Southern Ontario Section (CGS-SOS) #WomeninCGS, Leggett & Platt #WomeninERG, and Terrafix® Geosynthetics Inc. Merry Christmas to all my LinkedIn community!
