Renewable energy has broad bipartisan support, including in many conservative states that value its competitive costs and its power to energize economies, bringing prosperity and jobs. Adoption of clean alternatives continues to gain ground, especially in states like Florida, Texas, and California, cornered by high fossil fuel costs and with enormous potential to develop more affordable and healthier alternatives. At VoLo Foundation, we reaffirm our commitment. We will continue working for a transition to a sustainable energy system, with lasting jobs and resilient communities. This climate crisis affects everyone, regardless of political preferences. Climate change demands responsibility and urgent action. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewKg9vUp #Statement #VoLoFoundation #ClimateCrisis

Better to #adapt to the consequences than tackle the causes of global warming? "Instead of prioritising climate protection, we should instead focus on adapting to the consequences of climate change" - a narrow majority of respondents in our survey agrees with this statement. The current #flooding in southern Germany, for example, makes this assessment very comprehensible. We can no longer avoid adapting to the consequences of #climatechange. And this will become even more important the hotter it gets. But here, too, it is important to do one thing without neglecting the other. In order to mitigate the risks of global warming and thus keep the costs of adaptation in check, measures to contain the rise in temperature are just as important. Because every fragment matters. This is emphasised by the high level of fear among our respondents of an increase in extreme weather events as a result of climate change.

Today, 40 Under2 Coalition governments, including The Scottish Government State Parliament Of Baden-Wuerttemberg Generalitat de Catalunya and Welsh Government International | Llywodraeth Cymru Rhyngwladol have called on the EU to deliver on targets and turn ambition into action over the course of the next parliament. Under2 Coalition members reaffirmed their commitment to the EU’s Green Deal and expressed keenness to work with policymakers to implement existing legislation and maintain climate momentum. Action now is essential to uphold the EU’s commitments to climate neutrality by 2050, and for the EU to retain its international credibility at the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference, COP29. https://lnkd.in/egKwdQvM

⚖️ A just energy transition needs meaningful public participation and communities, like Torry in Scotland, have the right to live in a healthy place.   📣  Policy makers need to adopt strong participatory democracy approaches.

📢We are back with the #GIBProjectSpotlight! This week we talk about the Pathways2Resilience (P2R) project. 🌍 🌱P2R aims to enable at least 100 regions and communities in the EU to co-design visions of a climate-resilient future and corresponding transformative, locally-led pathways and innovation agendas. It takes an innovative systemic approach to regional climate resilience, which is inseparable from Europe’s future economic and social development. 🌪️The climate crisis is already having major effects on everyday life in Europe. There is a need to pay more attention to the current and future impacts of climate change. Adaptation efforts so far have not yielded enough outcomes while needs have increased significantly, widening thus the need for adaptation actions. Lack of knowledge, capacities and resources do not allow regions and cities to adequately respond to climate change. As a project supporting the Mission Adaptation, Pathways2Resilience will be contributing by mobilizing regional interest and progressively elevating the capability of regions, developing a Regional Resilience Journey framework and supporting services to equip communities in developing climate resilience pathways and connected innovation agendas. It aims to trigger wide engagement of citizens and diverse stakeholders in the co-creation of these pathways. Furthermore, P2R will also boost literacy and access to innovative adaptation finance, and develop a Resilience Maturity Curve to baseline and monitor regional resilience capacities. 💪🏼 As a programme partner, GIB brings in state-of-the art expertise in the Mission’s Key Community Systems (KCSs), in particular NbS and Critical Infrastructure, as well as corresponding Key Enabling Conditions (KECs), such as mobilisation of sustainable finance, needed tools and regional networks. We contribute to the development of services on Key Community Systems (KCS) to design climate resilience pathways and innovation agendas as well as to the development of support services to bridge the Adaptation Finance Gap. 🤝Being engaged in several other European Union projects that are focused on Climate Mitigation and Adaptation, as well as on implementing Nature-based Solutions, GIB always looks for opportunities where these projects can complement and enhance each other’s results. 🔗Learn more about P2R here - https://lnkd.in/dc4vxEwx . . . #InfrastructureAndNature #ClimateResilience #ClimateAdaptation #CommunitySystems #ClimateFinance #NatureBasedSolutions #P2R #HorizonEU #Sustainability

A #reliable, #sustainable, and #affordable #source of #electricity is essential for driving progress and reducing poverty. It is essential for key economic sectors such as #agriculture, #transportation and #healthcare which are crucial for socio-economic development. Renewable energy such as solar offer solution which contribute in decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation.     The successfully concluded EU SWITCH-Asia Programme funded project on Switch to Solar  made renewable energy more accessible to rural #MSMEs in Cambodia, transforming the way they power their operations - leading to cost savings, reduced CO₂ #emissions and increase #job #creation.   We extend our deepest gratitude to all the the rural MSME partners, SWITCH to Solar Consortium and all those who made this journey possible. 👇 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gDD8pNiy Download the impact report: https://lnkd.in/gAWkCVDu   The #SWITCH to #Solar project is funded by the European Union in Cam through the EU SWITCH-Asia Official Programme and the Government of the Czech Republic through the Czech Development Agency - CzechAid / Czech Embassy Phnom Penh.   #SolarEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #Gratitude #Switchtosolar #SwitchAsia #Switch #Sevea #Asia #ClimateSolutions #Agriculture #Cambodia #Fishery #Solar #Technology #Solutions

A fantastic new cross-industry report launches today at #ClimateWeekNYC and shows fast-tracking the Green Industrial Revolution is Mission Possible! 📈🟢🌍     The report by ITA Secretariat host, Mission Possible Partnership and Bezos Earth Fund, reveals a toolbox of instruments for G20 governments to unlock a boom in low-carbon fertilisers, fuels, and essential materials within 10 years.     ‘Unleashing Market Forces to Scale Green Industry: The Role of Green Market Makers’, is published today at #GreenMarketsDay24 and demonstrates:    Economies of scale for green commodities can be achieved within a decade pushing them closer to parity with fossil-based equivalents.   G20 countries can accelerate the uptake of low-carbon products whilst optimising use of public funds and ensuring future industrial competitiveness.   Green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, green steel, and low-carbon cement markets are identified as priorities for rapid expansion through ‘Green Market Makers’.      The report has been developed by a working group comprising MPP and Bezos Earth Fund alongside RMI, Systemiq Ltd., Bain & Company, Center for Green Market Activation (GMA), H2Global Foundation, J.P. Morgan, and Morrison Foerster.    Among the different mechanisms available, Green Market Makers (GMMs)—innovative intermediaries between sellers and buyers—are revealed as one of the most efficient ways to deploy public funds for scaling up industry transitions.      GMMs are deemed a ‘game-changer’ for green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), green steel, and low-carbon cement, capable of fast-tracking low-carbon commodity markets – comprising products that are essential building blocks of a decarbonised economy, on which agriculture, green buildings, green manufacturing, and other industries will rely.      The full report provides a toolbox for policymakers, industrial companies, and financial institutions, urging the deployment of GMMs with government-backed funds as a critical way to catapult early markets for low-CO2 solutions.    Explore the full findings and download the report here: https://lnkd.in/dtZKwX4D     #UnleashGreenMarketMakers #GreenMarketsDay24
