The Verde Island Passage is a global hotspot for marine biodiversity, housing vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life in incredibly fragile ecosystems. The Philippines, facing severe climate impacts, needs innovative solutions and support to protect such vulnerable populations. Learn more about our work in increasing #ClimateResilience in the environment: https://ow.ly/Thkq50TeL8H
I had a free Sunday recently in the Philippines. I had learned that the scientific community has discovered that the Verde Island Passage in the Philippines is one of the most important areas around the globe for marine #biodiversity. It contains the highest concentration of marine shore fish biodiversity on the planet, with more than 1,700 species coexisting within just a 10 square km area. 🌏🐠 So I decided to visit! Snorkeling with some friends and a local scientist we saw some of this biodiversity firsthand, including this close encounter with a sea turtle. We named him "Harold" (I'm not sure why :). The diversity of marine life was spectacular - especially the wide variety of coral reefs. The Philippines is also one of the countries most at risk from the effects of climate change, facing increasingly severe typhoons, rising sea levels, and threats to biodiversity. These negative climate impacts compound, leading to strains on healthcare systems, displacement, and more. You can see that in the most recent reporting on the flooding happening there now. https://lnkd.in/g6ey35iC https://lnkd.in/gfkqxurM Now is our opportunity to support innovations that combat climate change and fund solutions that can create meaningful change in the #Philippines and throughout the world - we have a lot of work to do!

Implementing development programs amidst recurring #conflict, logistical challenges, and seasonal weather complications requires much more than just comprehensive strategic planning. In the two decades that we've implemented the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), we've learned that success hinges on forging meaningful partnerships with local actors and intentional investment in their capacity strengthening. FEWS NET has been navigating Mali's diverse landscape by focusing on integrating local expertise and building #resilient systems. The project's approach in #Mali, developed in partnership with USAID, underscores the importance of localized, adaptive approaches to understanding and forecasting #FoodSecurity challenges through a Household Economy Analysis framework. By investing in local capacity and fostering long-term partnerships, FEWS NET continues to deliver impactful results and lay the groundwork for sustainable development.

There’s less than a month to go until Foreign Policy's Energy Forum @UNGA79 on September 26, where they’ll be taking a look at practical, #SustainableEnergy solutions and actions needed to accelerate the #EnergyTransition affordably and reliably. We’re excited to share that our Chanaka Wickramasuriya, chief of party for the Sri Lanka Energy Program, will be joining Foreign Policy for a fireside chat, entitled “Financing the Future: Unlocking Capital for the Energy Transition in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.” With capital for green infrastructure #investment crucial to accelerating the energy transition to meet global net-zero goals, contributions are needed from both the public and private sector to deploy sustainable solutions at scale. Sri Lanka, a country with a historically nationalized industry energy industry, and a UNFCCC target of generating 70% of its power with renewables by 2030, recently passed legislation to allow new private sector capital to enter the market. This fascinating session will dive into the #SriLanka case study, and explore how to bring capital partners to the table to support locally driven development and sustainability goals.
