“I refuse to accept that we’re going to lose these incredible ecosystems.” Meet our #changemaker Tom Rivett-Carnac, founding partner of Global Optimism and podcaster at Outrage + Optimism ⭐🎙️ After spending time as a monk and working at the UN, Tom shifted his energy to founding Global Optimism, which focuses on helping individuals and organisations work towards the transition to a regenerative future. He believes that with determination and a sense of possibility, we have the chance to protect the future of our planet 🌍 “Change takes longer than you think and then it happens faster than you can possibly imagine…We shouldn’t assume that failure is inevitable. It’s not. Real change is still possible,” he says. Read more about Tom and his incredible work 👇 https://lnkd.in/dpAsU7EJ #ChangemakerSeries #PeopleAndPlanet #ClimateChange

HEJ WASTE NL here! 🌍 We work to reduce plastic waste and improve the conditions faced by informal waste workers 🧑🤝🧑 In India, 15 million metric tonnes of plastic waste are generated every year, but only around 25% of that waste is recycled. There are also millions of informal waste workers in India who play a key role in plastic waste management but often don’t earn a living wage and are subject to environmental pollution. Our #2023AnnualReview highlight was about our Financial Inclusion and Improved Livelihoods Out of Plastics (FINILOOP) programme in India, where 364 metric tonnes of additional plastic waste were collected and recycled and, as a result of supporting informal waste workers in obtaining vital government documents, 111 children received access to education. Read more about how we’re creating a more positive impact on the livelihoods of waste workers and the planet 👇 https://lnkd.in/dFG8vzEQ #AnnualReviewSeries #WasteSystemsTransformation #WasteManagement #PeopleAndPlanet #IKEAFoundationHighlights2023

📢 A transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems would help us meet our climate, biodiversity and food security targets. 🎯 Transitioning to agroecology requires USD 430 billion annually. But right now it only gets USD 44 billion. In contrast, nearly USD 630 billion goes annually towards agriculture subsidies, half of which are harmful. ☠️ This doesn't add up. We need to transform our food systems. Read more in our article authored with IKEA Foundation and McKnight Foundation via Common Dreams: https://bit.ly/3X5eUsY #agroecology #climatefinance

HEJ! 👋 We’re Acumen and we’re excited to share our #2023AnnualReview highlight from our collaboration with IKEA Foundation. Talking about failure can be uncomfortable, but when we don’t, we miss the opportunity to grow. The value of failure is in helping us – and other funders, philanthropic organisations and companies – to learn from mistakes, create more impact and make real progress towards eradicating poverty. Learn more about Acumen and how we’re inviting others to share their learnings from failures and enabling actors to make wiser decisions in the future 👇 https://lnkd.in/dFG8vzEQ Stay tuned for the next partner review! ⭐ #AnnualReviewSeries #PeopleAndPlanet #IKEAFoundationHighlights2023

The use of plastic products in the healthcare sector is negatively affecting human health and depleting natural resources 😷🌳 This is especially true in communities vulnerable to #ClimateChange 🌍 That’s why we’re proud to support Health Care Without Harm to reduce plastic production and pollution in the healthcare sector, and accelerate the development of innovative plastic alternatives. This month is #PlasticFreeJuly, an annual global movement that calls on participants to reduce their single-use plastic waste ♻️ Health Care Without Harm Europe is taking steps to reduce the use of plastic through their recent project, Born Green Generation, which aims to make toxic-free prenatal and postnatal care possible, protecting babies from harmful plastic exposure. Together, we’re generating the will, expertise, and energy to collectively advance our North Star of a climate-resilient and equitable health sector 🧑🤝🧑 Learn more about how Born Green Generation is driving transformational change and how you can get involved 👇 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDrXyc3q #ReducePlastic #ClimateSolutions #PeopleAndPlanet
