Richard Evans from Talent Nation and David Bellas from LinkedIn were guest speakers on the first day of 🌱 Decarbonise New Zealand 🌱 discussing the talent challenge being faced within this space. Investment in education to build capability, and enable workers to transition from carbon-intensive industries is required. The talent challenges we face aren't merely in cultivating these skills, but ensuring we have robust retention strategies and clear pathways that guide talented individuals into the sector. 🛣️ 🌏🌿♻ The solution lies in a collective effort from educational institutions, governmental bodies, and businesses. By forging stronger connections, we can create comprehensive learning programs that not only impart green skills but also provide tangible career trajectories. 🔗 📢 How is your organisation contributing to this vital movement of nurturing and retaining talent in the green skills arena?

Stakeholders ask this question a lot and it is very important because they need to know how to make this journey an inclusive one. 🔰To ensure a sustainable and inclusive future, involving young people at all development stages is imperative. Educating and raising awareness serves as the initial step, enabling them to comprehend the urgency of transitioning to clean energy. Workshops, seminars, and webinars can provide knowledge on sustainable energy. 🔰Young individuals offer unique perspectives and should contribute to decision-making processes through platforms like youth advisory boards. Facilitating access to funding and resources is pivotal, allowing innovative ideas to materialize. Grants, scholarships, and startup support empower them to implement sustainable energy projects, fostering a sense of ownership. 🔰Recognizing and celebrating their accomplishments serves as motivation. Showcasing successful projects via awards, competitions, and media coverage inspires others to follow suit. Empowering young people with education, engagement, and resources creates an ecosystem that nurtures their role as change agents in the sustainable energy transition Since this journey of inclusion should happen in stages, as a young person reading this what stage do you feel is most important to you? For me it’s point 2. Are there any other ways that youths can be included not mentioned in this post?

Universities are increasingly integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to their double transformation framing. This new @ESG_Journal article by Andrea Cuesta Claros, Shirin Malekpour, Rob Raven and Tahl Kestin, analyzes four universities' integration of the SDGs and proposes a framework to determine their impact on universities. The study finds that discursive effects are the most prominent, suggesting transformative change. The SDGs should be used beyond communication and legitimizing tools to achieve their transformative potential.      Read more: https://bit.ly/43WFmon

🌟 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒏𝒖𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒑𝒐 😍 🌟 Ever felt pressured to fit into a single mould, fearing the label of being a "jack of all trades, master of none"? 🤔 Well, that was me for the longest time. But the more I resisted my multifaceted nature, the more frustrated I was. Until I met a few women who effortlessly balanced diverse roles, owning it all to effective systems and structures and ultimately making necessary investments in their personal growth. So, I did too 🌸 𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝒋𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏👇 🌿 About Me: I'm Anuoluwapo, a seasoned environmentalist, educator, researcher, growth coach, speaker, and ministry gift. My doctorate in Environmental Biology fuels my vision for a pristine, sustainable Africa, prioritizing the holistic well-being of its people. 🌍 With over a decade of experience in environmental research and 16 academic publications, I've dedicated myself to addressing pressing environmental challenges. I've served as an adjunct lecturer at Trinity University, Lagos, and as an e-tutor at the University of Lagos' Distance Learning Institute. Currently contributing my part at a premier environmental firm in Lagos, Nigeria, driving regulatory compliance and sustainability efforts. 💼 🔬 Research Interests: My research spans various environmental disciplines, focusing on ecological and climate change studies, biomonitoring, pollution management, environmental impact assessment, and bioremediation. I'm especially passionate about exploring microalgae as a sustainable solution to pollution, particularly hydrocarbon pollution. 🌱 💫 Coaching Journey: As a Certified Masteries Practitioner by the International Association of Coaching, USA, and a Personal Growth Coach, I'm committed to empowering women to lead fulfilling, purpose-driven lives.

With grants from ActionAid, we served the impoverished community of Mushin LGA in Lagos State, educating 4,000 girls and 800 boys on sexual and gender-based violence across 10 schools. We provided over 20 women with interest-free loans to support their businesses and trained 60 women in skill acquisition. Additionally, I strongly believe in the power of intercession to advance the kingdom of God, so I serve as a visioner in The Prevailing Watchers Intercessory Network (TPWIN) 💪 If you are passionate about any of my interests, let’s connect.
