🌏Leveraging Technology Action Plans for ambitious climate action - The Role of #technology and how to increase #NDC ambitions. At the Bonn #ClimateChange Conference, key speakers underscored the importance of Technology Needs Assessments (#TNA) and Technology Action Plans in boosting climate ambitions and attracting essential investments. At the #JuneClimateMeeting event, speakers from countries, the United Nations, and international climate organizations emphasized the need for tailored support, capacity building, and the integration of TNAs into national policies to achieve meaningful #climateaction. Through the TNA project, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has supported over 100 countries in their #ClimateTech journey, helping them determine their technology pri­orities for mitigating and adapting to #climatechange.

We look forward to the expert dialogue on the disproportionate impact of climate change on young children taking place at the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB60) on June 4. ECDAN partners submitted a statement to inform the discussion urging action to address the needs of young children in climate plans and actions. The evidence is startling: ● More than 1.7 million premature deaths among children under five are caused by pollution and toxic substances annually (WHO, 2017).  ● Children born in 2020 will experience, on average, twice as many wildfires, 2.8 times as much exposure to crop failure, 2.6 times as many drought events, 2.8 times as many river floods, and 6.8 times more heatwaves across their lifetimes, compared to a person born in 1960 (Save the Children, 2021).  ● More than 43 million children have been displaced due to weather-related disasters over the last six years, causing more humanitarian crises around the world (UNICEF, 2023) and more. ECDAN partners urge the UN Climate Change Secretariat to leverage this expert dialogue to ensure the unique and specific impacts of climate change on the world’s youngest children are better understood and recognized and early childhood policies and services are integrated into adaptation, mitigation, loss, and climate financing strategies.

EleaTek frens, we've been diving into the rich insights of the "Futures Philanthropy: Anticipation for the Common Good" report. This report, Published by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, isn't just another drop in the sea of philanthropic discourse—it's a thunderclap that echoes our core values at EleaTek: 1. Cultivating Long Views We see the report as a playbook for how to think about the forthcoming landscapes of philanthropy. We resonate deeply with the report's emphasis on cultivating the long view and acting for future generations (gen Z and gen Alpha). It’s about setting the stage now for a future that values sustainability over short-lived gains. 2. Empowering Communities The call for trust-based collaboration within the report mirrors our mission to make partnerships that are grounded in mutual respect and shared visions. Making everyone active participants rather than passive recipients or givers of aid. Driving Systemic Change The push for addressing root causes and contributing to systemic change aligns with our commitment to innovation that doesn't just scratch the surface but redefines the playing field. By embedding these practices into our ops, we’re not just participating in change—we’re leading it. Dive into the full details and download your copy here. https://lnkd.in/ejH7VuZX Thank you, Emil C. Lüth for sharing this report with us!

What better place to start solving the climate crisis than in school? In a letter to education minister Mariëlle Paul (VVD), we call for introducing comprehensive climate education in all Dutch secondary education curricula. Many young people are worried about the climate crisis, and rightly so. Their generation will be the first to be seriously affected by climate change. Young people have the right to know what is coming at them and what they can do to avert the worst consequences. Educating young people adequately about the climate and ecological crisis is critical to the collective ability of Dutch society to meet the profound challenges that lie ahead. This should go much further than focusing on the need for sustainability, which favors technological solutions and fails to acknowledge the systemic nature of the problem. Comprehensive climate education addresses the systemic nature of the climate crisis in its full breadth, including the socio-economic, psychological and behavioral aspects. More information on the letter, which has been signed by over 80 scientists, here: https://lnkd.in/egAenrwr #education #climatecrisis #VVD

Collaboration is the key to elevating societal #trust. We need to work together, not in separate silos. Our Trust Alliance, now in its 13th year is an example of the power of collaboration, drawing members primarily from business, academia and consulting. https://lnkd.in/eHMF3vA

A crucial question often arises in the impact measurement space: how do we ensure our efforts translate into real change?  Our experience has shown that the answer lies in a powerful formula: collaboration between funders, implementers, and beneficiaries. Here's why this is key: Strong communication between funders (those providing resources) and implementers (those executing programs) ensures projects directly address the needs identified by beneficiaries. Also, Collaboration between Implementers and beneficiaries ensures that beneficiary voice addresses their concerns and experiences, while funders gain a deeper understanding of their contributions' impact. The takeaway? We can ensure our efforts create lasting positive change by fostering collaboration between funders, implementers, and beneficiaries. The amazing part is that Mundaly; the scientific-based community data platform ensures Funders, Implementers, and Beneficiaries can collaborate with ease. #ImpactMeasurement #Collaboration #SocialImpact #Nonprofit #CommunityEngagement

The recent UN Climate Change talks in Bonn, Germany, ended with countries still divided on how to shape a new climate finance goal. This matters because climate finance is about funding much-needed transitions and to help countries deal with the effects of climate change. Right now, there's no clear agreement on who should pay, how much, or what types of financing should be used. “The sheer number of unresolved issues currently sets us up for a fraught two weeks in Baku. We urge countries to use every opportunity in the months ahead of COP29 to lay the ground for an ambitious yet realistic new climate finance goal that responds to the needs of developing countries", says Gaia Larsen, Director of Climate Finance Access, World Resources Institute. The lack of progress means that vital funding needed to help vulnerable countries prepare for severe weather events, like the recent floods in Brazil and Kenya or heat waves in India, is still uncertain. Strong climate finance agreements are crucial for helping countries transition to cleaner energy and make bold climate commitments. As we move towards COP29, it's more important than ever for negotiators to work together and develop a clear, ambitious financial goal that can make a real difference for people and the planet.

#DaringCities 2024 Bonn Dialogues: The Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) presents a more ambitious and durable way to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. The pledge asks nations to commit to consulting their local and regional governments to build their national climate goals, and to resource them to implement ambitious climate projects. Hundreds of cities across New Zealand and Australia have declared a climate emergency signaling a clarion call to ramp up climate action through ambitious decarbonization and strengthened resilience efforts at a local scale. The Pacific Islands deal with sea level rise three times the global mean, leaving coastal cities and territories to face both short and long term threats. Multi-level governance and international cooperation will be critical to facilitate technical and institutional capacity building, while local measures are essential to strengthen resilience actions. That's why we need more local governments in Oceania to step forward and lead the charge to encourage their nations to join the #CHAMP pledge.
