🌍 Transforming Lives and the Planet: Embracing an Integrated Approach 🌍 Insights from the "Introduction to Sustainable Development in Practice" course; as we confront the intertwined challenges of poverty and environmental degradation, a holistic approach is a necessity: 🌿 Interlinked Challenges: Poverty & environmental degradation often share a symbiotic relationship, creating a vicious cycle. Impoverished communities disproportionately bear the brunt of environmental harm, while environmental degradation can exacerbate poverty by undermining livelihoods & resources. 🌀 Bottom-Up Empowerment: Embracing a bottom-up approach empowers communities to actively participate in crafting solutions that resonate with their unique contexts. Indigenous peoples, with their centuries-old wisdom, possess invaluable insights into circular governance & resource management. 🔍 The Gender Lens: Addressing environmental challenges through a gender lens is non-negotiable. Women often play pivotal roles in managing natural resources and nurturing their families. Empowering women with education, access to resources, and decision-making authority not only uplifts communities but also strengthens our collective ability to combat environmental issues. **Design solutions with and for the people! 🌟 Ideas on finding solutions to poverty—environment challenges 🌟 🌱 Education and Awareness: Raise awareness about the links between poverty & environmental issues. Educate communities on sustainable practices, resource management, and the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. 🌍 Microfinance for Sustainable Ventures: Provide microfinance & grants to entrepreneurs in poverty to start eco-friendly businesses. e.g recycling centers, organic farms, and sustainable crafts. 🌾 Sustainable Agriculture: Cultivating practices that enrich soil health, decrease reliance on harmful inputs, and fortify small-scale farmers against the impacts of climate change 🌳 Community-Based Natural Resource Management: Engaging local communities as stewards of their resources. Through participatory decision-making, we can catalyze sustainable fishing practices & reforestation efforts. ♻️ Waste Management & Recycling: Crafting ingenious waste management systems that create livelihoods for waste pickers, while substantially reducing pollution 🏞️ Eco-Tourism & Community-Centric Travel: Promote sustainable tourism initiatives that involve local communities, generate income, and protect natural habitats 📜 Progressive Policies & Incentives: Advocate for policies that support poverty alleviation & environmental conservation simultaneously. e.g carbon pricing, subsidies for sustainable practices, and regulations against harmful industries ***Reducing GHG emission demands profound shifts in technology, business practices, and our social behavior. #sustainability #communityempowerment #environmentaljustice https://lnkd.in/dWRW2EFP

The international cooperation and the exchange of experiences on #waterreclamation and #reuse projects are essential for the development of this type of systems. The definition of appropriate alternative treatment technologies must consider the specific local conditions on all levels, i.e, political, social, regulatory, communicational and technical. The eventual application of the "copy and paste" approach needs to be carefully evaluated before its implementation. #purifiedrecycledwater #nonconventionalresources #filtration #separation #membranetechnologies #sustainability #environment #publichealth #riskmanagement #multiplebarriers

As stated from UNESCO, “Freshwater is the most important resource for humankind, cross-cutting all social, economic and environmental activities”. At TDK, water is an essential resource in manufacturing activities. The Company has specified the key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the water-related ones, in order to grow its main businesses in this sense. In addition, TDKs policy is to reduce water withdrawal in different manufacturing processes to fulfil our goals. In fiscal 2022, TDKs total water withdrawal decreased 4.1% from the previous fiscal year, as well as the intensity of its usage has increased of 25% as visible in the chart below. #TDK #SDG #SustainableFuture

Some of the key points that were emphasized are: 1. plant and nurture a tree today 2. don't litter the ground, make use of the bins 3. when the light is not in use, turn off the light 4. don't leave the water running, turn off the tap 5. sort out your waste 5. reduce, reduce, recycle ♻️ wastes Add yours in the comment section 🌎

For a while now I have been thinking of the climate action I can embark on for a personal project. In a city like Port Harcourt, where environmental challenges like air pollution and waste management are prominent, taking meaningful climate action is not just an option—it’s a responsibility. One initiative I’m considering is starting a community-based recycling program. Waste management is a critical issue here, and many recyclable materials end up in landfills or, worse, littering our streets and waterways. By creating awareness and providing resources for proper waste separation and recycling, we can reduce our community's environmental footprint. I’m drawn to this action because it’s something we can implement at the grassroots level. It offers an opportunity to educate and engage the local community, especially young people, about sustainability. It's a step towards cleaner neighborhoods and a healthier environment for all of us. The ripple effect of this initiative could be transformative, from reducing pollution to fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. I believe that by taking this step, we can inspire others to think critically about their waste and its impact on our planet. #climateaction #communicationfordevelopment #c4d

Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." - Kofi Annan.  But what if that progress came at the cost of our planet?     At the QI Group, we believe in education that nurtures both minds and the environment. And we are proud that this sentiment is echoed by the eco-warriors at our education arm, Quest International University (QIU)!  Recently, our QIU community kicked off 2024 with Treevolution@QIU, an initiative that saw them collaborate with local authorities to carry out eco-preservation activities at the Kinta River Basin, a vital waterway in the state of Perak, the home base of QIU.  Together, they transformed the area by planting trees, cleaning up litter, even building a brand-new playground!  Yes, degrees open doors, but a healthy planet opens them wider.   Via smart collaborations and capacity-building initiatives, the QI Group and QIU are committed to working towards United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), not just because they're trendy buzzwords, but because they represent the future we all deserve.   From ensuring clean water (SGD14) to fostering life on land (SGD15), Treevolution@QIU initiative is a tangible step towards achieving these critical goals while moulding our future generation.

#CarbonLiteracy has been really impactful at Ecosurety - quickly embraced by our leadership team, we have gone from: 💡 A single employee being certified in 2022 💪 To becoming an accredited Silver Carbon Literate Organisation in 2023 📦 Delivering our very own Carbon Literacy for the Packaging Sector training 🎯 And on track for more than 90% of our team to be certified in 2024 The best part is that carbon now comes up far more in all the thinking and doing by our team. This means more engagement with our carbon impact and plenty of ideas surfacing for how we can reduce our footprint as individuals and as an organisation, not to mention how we can help our members do the same. Indeed, one of the members we trained in our last session pledged to become a Carbon Literacy trainer themselves, so they can get the rest of their organisation trained too. Everyone should be Carbon Literate. If you work in the packaging sector, contact us to find out more about our Carbon Literacy for the Packaging Sector training. If you work in any other sector, check out https://lnkd.in/gbwf_pZR, The Carbon Literacy Project have a wide range of courses and sector toolkits that you can engage with. And a big thanks to The Carbon Literacy Project, Lighthouse Sustainability Ltd, Emma Burlow, Charlotte Doger de Speville, Will Ghali, Fergus Mooney, Steph Housty - who have all played a part in us being able to push Carbon Literacy forwards so rapidly and effectively.

"Look mum, i'm on the news!" 🤣 It's been so awesome working with my team, in partnership with Water Corporation, on our increasingly popular waterwise community programs the last few years. Mega shout out to Fiona Blackham in particular (plant giveaway superstar 🌟 - nearly 22,000 WA-natives given out last year, most grown by our awesome in-house-nursery staff)! Residents who participate in our waterwise programs report to us not just beautiful results but also broad benefits, beyond big water savings. From improved wellbeing and social connection to reduced maintenance requirements/costs and more beautiful and cooler streets. Thats not to mention the improvements to biodiversity, habitat, and quality of water runoff. The positive impact is unquestionable and its feels so good to see it. More than anything, this movement is the most sensible gardening adaptation to our drying and warming climate. The growing decentralised network of native gardens across the city is a trojan horse with collective force, helping create a greener, cooler and more waterwise city. #kepkatitjin #begroundwaterwise #waterwise #WaterwiseGreeningScheme
