🗨 Redwan Uz Zaman Reham, an Associate of Environmental and Climate Change Policy Team of Youth Policy Forum - YPF, participated in the first round of the '𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐚' round table conference. Let's know his thoughts on 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. “The changes of environment affect everyone. It is not like whether some people feel warmer than others. We are no longer in a position to prevent climate change. Our primary attention must be on how to mitigate its effects and adapt to environmental changes. Current government and private initiatives can only be truly effective if we give the highest importance to the thoughts of grassroots people. Their innovative capabilities and intellectual strengths must be prioritized and utilized. If we look back, we can find that even before hyper industrialization of the industrial revolution, people supplemented their opening capabilities with traditional knowledge, such as: organic agriculture and fishermen's adaptation to shifts in fish migration patterns. Therefore, when we can create a strong platform to incorporate the opinions of grassroots people into policy-making, only then these initiatives become more effective. After all, those directly affected people can understand what they need. We must provide more opportunities for these grassroots individuals to raise their voices.”

The end use for the #EcosystemAccounts produced by the Nature+Energy Project is a web application that will allow windfarm stakeholders to track changes over time. This will allow them to determine the success of interventions on site to enhance biodiversity and wildlife. For ForES Project, the result will be a decision-support tool that can be used by public and private landowners to help them choose and understand the impacts of their management decisions on a range of ecosystem services such as cleaner air and #water quality, #carbon sequestration, recreation and #biodiversity

What happens when you bring together McDonald's, ranch software, an opinionated rancher, and a digital platform for measuring and verifying GHG reductions at scale? You'll find out tomorrow at the Regrow Ag Summit in Chicago! 🤓 Be sure to say to hello to AgriWebb's thought leader and VP of Partnerships Campbell Mauchan if you'll be there -- especially if you're thinking about carbon insetting program design and how to effectively engage producers. #agtech #sustainability

“If you do not work on land, it will always be an obstacle to development, food systems and rural transformation.” Read the Donor Platform’s interview with ward anseeuw (FAO), Chair of the Donor Platform’s land governance working group, to learn what the group is doing to mainstream land in global development conversations. https://lnkd.in/etyMnV4k Good land governance is key to many social, economic and environmental development goals, from combating desertification💧, through promoting food security🌾, to protecting ecological diversity🦋 and safeguarding Indigenous Peoples and local community cultures🌍. Ward explains how the thematic group has been active at major events to mainstream land indicators into global agreements like the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

It was great to talk to ward anseeuw recently about the importance of mainstreaming land indicators in broader development frameworks. His answers are an urgent call to action to bring land into the focus for sustainable food systems transformation.

My thoughts on the Pact for the Future:

Measurement issues in nature markets: A key take home: If your market's biodiversity proxy isn't validated - big risk! Markets will give you exactly what you incentivise them to (the well intentioned may go beyond this but the system probably won't...)

2023 was a big year for the @CGIAR #ClimateResilienceInitiative (better known as #ClimBeR). As a research initiative working towards outcomes, our team focuses on a #ScienceinAction approach so that, together with our strategic partnerships, we can truly help smallholder farmers in vulnerable areas build climate resilience. Check out the post below 👇🏾 for a snapshot of some our achievements and the link to the technical report which gives you an overview of our areas of work and our progress towards building smallholder resilience. #ScienceinAction #ClimBeR

Brand new acceptance! Emily Senerth, MS, MPH, Lori Krammer, Volf G., Paul Whaley, Giffe Johnson, PhD, Katya Tsaioun, Rebecca Morgan, and colleagues have systematically reviewed approaches for the conduct of systematic reviews in environmental health. Fourteen frameworks were included in their critical interpretive synthesis. You may find their results useful if you need to select an approach for your review or are involved in developing resources to facilitate the uptake of systematic methods for reviews of environmental exposures. https://lnkd.in/eqVzHFwB
