COP16: Time to Put Commitments into Action for Nature and our Future! We are ready to join with a small ClientEarth delegation this new global nature moment with 3 top priorities in mind to see the law in action: 1. Mainstreaming Nature Across Sectors 2. Embedding Human Rights in Biodiversity Governance 3. Accountability and Enforcement: Turning Commitments into Action This must build on the momentum generated at COP15, and ensure that the commitments made under the global biodiversity framework are translated into tangible, enforceable actions, across the world. Success at COP16 will depend on finalising the Monitoring Framework, establishing periodic reviews of collective progress, and adopting transparent, science-based indicators. The international community must also address gaps in national biodiversity policies through updated National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), ensuring that resource mobilisation efforts are strategically targeted to meet the most critical needs. And, crucially, Ministers at COP16 must commit to translating their NBSAPs promises into domestic, legally-binding decisions.

✈️ Exciting days ahead as myself and my colleague Isabelle Des Chênes get ready head to Busan for the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on plastic pollution. This global gathering is a pivotal moment for the plastics industry as we come together to create an international legally binding agreement on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. As Vice President of Plastics at the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, I'm honoured to join leaders, innovators, and advocates from around the world to share ideas and find a better way forward for both people and planet – ending plastic pollution while enabling society to continue to benefit from plastics. We know that addressing this issue requires coordinated efforts from policymakers, governments, and businesses alike and we will be championing a collaborative agreement that accelerates circularity while considering the different needs of different countries. Our vision is clear: a future where plastics are responsibly managed throughout their entire lifecycle. I look forward to constructive discussions this week and am eager to bring insights back to drive change within the Canadian plastics industry and beyond. #INC5 #PlasticTreaty #CircularEconomy

The World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities (GATC) are thrilled to extend this invitation to you for an inspiring session on Financing Community-Led Forest Economies (CLFE). As we witness a growing momentum in addressing climate change and conserving biodiversity within tropical forest ecosystems, it is crucial to recognize the untapped potential of investing in economic opportunities for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs&LCs). Traditional funding models have primarily focused on creating incentives for forest conservation on the one side, and large-scale investments on the other side, often neglecting the financial needs of those who rely directly on the forest for their livelihoods. Yet, upscaling finance into the economies of IPs&LCs could transform the lives of over 2.4 billion people, as well address more systematic issues at country and global levels. *Our vision is bold : we aspire to create the ecosystem for sustainable finance flows to community-led forest economies that deliver social wellbeing and intergenerational legacies, climate and nature benefits.* *Event details:* * _Date: Wednesday 20th November, 2024_ * _Time: 15.30 - 17:00_ * _Venue: Pavillion of the Congo Basin Climate Commission, Blue Zone H14_ * _Registration_ : https://lnkd.in/dTEDTzfG

🌿 "Transition initiatives are made of people who feel that mutual support, doing things collectively is key. Developping local gardens, with local coins, with consumers cooperatives, ecohousing, all these kind of things are being developped and all around us" 💡 Solutions to living a good life within planet boundaries do exist ! They are brought to us by community-led initiatives who bring transformative social innovation, yet their activities are not adequately valued by the market or the public sector. 📢 Together with ECOLISE, we call on the European Commission to adequately resource people and communities for the green transition with specific attention to providing core funding for community-led initiatives. ✍️You too can support Community-led initiatives by signing the Time for Collective Action Manifesto https://lnkd.in/eJgiZ7wh Les Jeunes Écologistes Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) Generation Climate Europe (GCE) Fridays for Future EuropeFridays For Future InternationalFridays For Future FranceYouth For UnderstandingLes Jeunes Européens - FranceEho !

In my keynote earlier this week I made the point that no data is going to be used to inform decisions unless it is visible to decision makers - the insights it brings to them will not be useful unless they can actually see it. This is me making this #climate data visible to decision makers out there! #Read #Digest #ActOnClimate

💡 How can funders align climate mitigation and adaptation? In an article for Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association, ECF Director Jozsef Feiler and Mindworks Lab Founder Stefan Flothmann outline the role philanthropy can play in bridging the gap between climate adaptation and mitigation. Historically seen as separate, these strategies are more effective when integrated. By supporting projects that involve communities in adaptation efforts, we can meet immediate needs, build stronger social connections, and foster agency. By funding initiatives that integrate adaptation with mitigation, funders can encourage cooperation, counter powerlessness, and build public support for long-term climate efforts. It’s not just about funding solutions—it’s about catalysing action that engages communities and drives systemic change.

Adaptation and mitigation are not opposing priorities but complementary approaches—two sides of the same coin. In today’s rapidly changing world, adaptation must go hand in hand with mitigation, serving as a foundation for fostering agency and building social capital. In a compelling article for Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association, Jozsef Feiler from the European Climate Foundation and Stefan Flothmann explore how historically distinct strategies of mitigation and adaptation can achieve greater impact when integrated. They argue that by supporting community-driven adaptation projects, we can address urgent needs, strengthen social bonds, and empower individuals to take meaningful action.

Last week I participated in a trade forum in Geneva focused on harmful subsidies. The question was how to foster international cooperation to reduce or eliminate environmentally harmful agricultural subsidies because of their disproportionate impact on biodiversity and habitat loss. When addressing participants at the forum, my first point was not to eliminate the subsidies but rather repurpose how the funding was used. It has taken decades to create the appropriation in budgets for ag subsidies. We shouldn’t just let that slip between our fingers and then try to claw it back later. The problem with subsidies is that they become entitlements. Globally, we subsidize the crops and production systems of the past century, not the current one. Also, there is every indication that it will cost much more to pivot our global food system to reduce its GHG emissions while simultaneously adapting to the impacts of climate change on agriculture. Going forward, we should use subsidies to support innovation and investments to transform the food system into what we need, rather than try to maintain the system as if nothing is changing. As a friend of mine used to say, money is like manure: if you spread it around, it makes things grow; if you pile it up, it begins to smell. Too many subsidies have been going to the same people, to do the same thing. If anything, this has made them less innovative, not more. And we wonder why nothing has changed. We need to support producers who are innovating and trying to find the next crops and produce them better. We can insure them for the risks that they are taking, but should we be insuring people who plant the same crops in the same place and then bemoan the impacts of climate change? When I raised the following points, I lost the audience. Governments increasingly require food imports to meet their basic food needs. Why wouldn’t they dedicate 1% of the value of the imports to go back to the producing country to ensure that exports either maintain or improve the resource base, ensuring that food exports can be produced in the future? Otherwise, they are just mining resources to cover current needs. Think about it. This kind of thinking is what has encouraged agricultural sprawl.
