We must prioritize building capacity to map, monitor, and manage environmental risks in Ukraine's war-affected agricultural lands. This involves creating a network of science and business to utilize modern technologies like geospatial data and UAV surveys, along with soil sample analyses. Our goal is to safeguard sustainable farming and food security. However, in developing land restoration plans, we must adopt a long-term perspective, considering time demands and global challenges. We propose offering Ukrainian farmers an action plan or to-do list, starting with recommendations for land decontamination and remediation, and progressing to a sustainable farming strategy aligned with the requirements of the organic world market, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Green Deal, and the Paris Agreement.

Sebijak’s Project Kaleidoscope “Forest policy coherence Indonesia – analyses, stakeholder dialogue and policy communication” (March 2024 - June 2025) The CarbonLeak project of the Thünen Institute is a research project dealing with effects of German and European climate protection measures on global agricultural and timber markets. The project investigates whether different scenarios for the implementation of climate policy in Germany and Europe lead to changes in the production of agriculture and forestry in Europe and agricultural non-EU producer countries along different supply chains. In its "Policy Coherence" work package the project analyses the coherence of climate goals of Germany and the EU on the one hand and third countries on the other. Possibly conflicting goals and related policy instruments are identified in order to increase coherence and effectiveness of national and international climate policy. Indonesia is a case study country within Carbon Leak. In this study, Sebijak Institute as a leader with funded by the Thünen Institute amounting to EUR 18,700 #forestpolicy #climatechange

The EU has committed to reducing overall emissions by 55% by 2030, and to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. EU fisheries are almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, while many fishing methods are extremely energy intensive and employ destructive methods. In February 2023, the European Commission launched a communication on the energy transition in EU fisheries to accelerate their progress toward carbon neutrality by 2050. Within this communication, the Commission committed to adopting a roadmap for decarbonisation by 2024 and a stakeholder consultation process was launched to support the drafting of this roadmap in June 2023. The first workshop of this EU process will take place on the 28th of November, and will address the difficult question of financing the decarbonisation of fisheries. Join us for this short briefing to discover challenges and opportunities for financing the energy transition that could successfully lead to the decarbonisation of the fishing industry. https://lnkd.in/ejCz_Cb7
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Decarbonising the Fishing Sector: the Path Ahead . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

A new study has revealed concerns that seafloor fishing activities, such as bottom trawling, may accelerate the process that turns organic carbon to CO2. The research, co-led by Lyell Centre Associate Professor Dr Marija Sciberras, reviewed the findings of 71 independent studies to create a global database that improves understanding of the complex relationship between demersal fishing and seabed carbon. Findings of the research, which was funded by the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), will be of particular interest to #ClimateChange scientists, policymakers and the #fisheries sector, and may inform new regulations aimed at minimising the adverse effects of fishing on marine environments. Dr Sciberras said: "“Seafloor organic carbon plays a key role in carbon sequestration and storage....the study emphasises the necessity for tailored management approaches if seabed carbon is to be protected effectively.” Read more on the Heriot-Watt University website: https://lnkd.in/exXZJk_7 #fishing #carbon #sustainability #climate #FisheriesManagement #regulations #policy #GlobalResearch #GlobalImpact Justin Tiano Emil De Borger Sarah Paradis Vilar Heriot-Watt GRID

Excellent to see Cornell professor Ivan Rudik contributing to something so critical: valuing nature. From 1997-2011 alone, we humans collectively destroyed somewhere between $4.3 and $20.2 trillion of nature's ecosystem services PER YEAR. It's critical that countries grasp the value of their natural ecosystems and services, such as fisheries, forests, wetlands, clean air, water bodies, and many more so we are absolutely clear on what we are giving up as a result of our historically narrow definitions of GDP and growth (which utterly fail to take a holistic view).

What will agricultural industry development and adjustment in the #MurrayDarlingBasin look like in 50 years' time? The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering (ATSE) recently launched a new essay series – 'A thriving Murray-Darling Basin in 50 years: Actions in the face of climate change' – urging a suite of actions and investments to protect the future of the Murray-Darling Basin in the face of climate change, which is threatening the river’s health and sustainability. RMCG was pleased to contribute to this essay series, #8 in a series of nine by Australia’s leading water experts, that explore the future of this vital system. Dr Anne-Maree Boland with Claire Flanagan-Smith, Carl Larsen, Rebecca Schwarzman and Tim Cummins, identify the preferred future is one where industry works with society and the environment, relying on advances in technology and sustainable management practices, and embedding principles of a circular economy. They identify critical adaptation factors for a future-ready agriculture industry including water resource sharing, producing more from less, using innovative and advanced technologies and responding to the Basin’s societal and cultural values. The essay addresses the emerging challenges and opportunities for the agricultural industry in the Murray-Darling Basin considering four plausible futures in 50 years: 💧 Base case 🚜 Drying and contracting agriculture ↪ Adaptive and market driven agriculture 💪 Water abundance and agriculture powerhouse. The scenarios are evaluated through critical variables including water, climate, commodity mix, production systems and market conditions. The essay series highlights the potential of the Basin if sustainably managed for the benefit of communities and the environment. They provide a long-term, hopeful and optimistic vision for what the Murray-Darling Basin can look like in 50 years with appropriate policy making to address climate change.

About the Book The earth’s structure and surface are made of about thirty per cent of land mass and seventy per cent of water. While the world is preoccupied with how to solve the multifarious issues on the land surface, the marine environment is in a state of neglect as a result of either ignorance, lack of information and shrewd politics and commerce. Marine Management, is the authors attempt to contribute to the legal policy and frameworks that will bring about the safety and sustainability of the ecosystem and marine environment through academic research and publications. With eleven chapters in this work, the author made significant and valuable legal insights with topics like biodiversity conservation, sustainable fisheries management, the effects of climate change, and enforcement and compliance measures for the relevant global authority to act on. The author’s simple style of writing and analysis makes the book readable, especially the legal policies and frameworks which do not require any professional interpretation. With 235 pages, the book covers areas concerning principles of sovereignty, cooperation and integration, precautionary principles, polluter pays, public trust, intergenerational equity and the principles of Environmental Impacts Assessment. It is a book read for all that are concerned about the blue economy and sustainable development of the world in the nearest
