🌍 Today, on the International Day of Living Together in Peace, let's remember: peace and our planet's well-being are intertwined. 💙 #Climatechange exacerbates inequalities and threatens the livelihoods of communities worldwide, often leading to conflict over dwindling resources. To build a peaceful world, we must address the root causes of environmental degradation and fostering sustainable solutions that benefit all. By prioritizing climate action and uplifting marginalized communities, we can pave the way for harmony with nature. 💬 Through dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect, we can create a brighter future for generations to come. Let's embrace #diversity and #inclusivity in our efforts to combat climate change, recognizing that peace and sustainability go hand in hand 👥.

To highlight how #climatechange and the loss of #nature are interconnected issues which must be tackled together, the #EU's recently launched #ForOurPlanet campaign seeks to engage and inspire young people to take action.

We join the #SDG16Now Day of #Justice #Storytelling! 📖✨ What does "justice" mean to you? 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBa693ai 🌿⚖ For #FriEnt, justice also means #ClimateJustice in a #JustTransition towards #peaceful and #inclusive #societies. In protracted #violent #conflict, #climate justice recognises the disproportionate #effect of climate change on local #communities. When there is nothing for communities to #transit from, #access to #resources for #survival is climate justice. 🔎 Please find out more about FriEnt's #focus on #JustPeace and #Climate on our #website ➡ https://frient.de/en/klima #SDG16 #peace #development #SDGs #ClimateChange #ClimatePolicy #sustainability TAP Network: Transparency, Accountability & Participation for the 2030 Agenda

Indeed Africa needs a new approach when it comes to tackling climate change, and one of them is a rigorious emphasis on climate education in schools, we need to educate the young generation about climate change and empower them for the fight says @NabukeeraWitney https://lnkd.in/d6dAwcFm #ClimateAction #4earthClimateInitiative

As someone who strives to look at the brighter side of things, I usually advocate for looking at the glass half full. However, today, I urge you to look at the part that's half-empty. It's only by acknowledging the empty half that we will truly grasp the magnitude of the challenges we face because that is exactly what our #planet is facing today - one devoid of #water. While we've been championing #WaterConservation, there's another perspective we must confront. Beyond mere access to water, lies a deeper issue. The population is rising at an unprecedented level, giving way to the potential for conflicts arising from #WaterScarcity, and jeopardizing #GlobalPeace. This year's UN theme for World Water Day #WaterForPeace, calls upon us to recognize water as a catalyst for cooperation and peace-building. #GlassHalfFull #WorldWaterDay #UN #Sustainability #ClimateChange #UniteForWater

The number one climate solution municipalities can employ is to stop actively making the problem worse by building more roads and thus subsidizing more auto-dependent sprawl. Is this a part of your teams message?
