The Shift vzw/asbl’s Post

Exciting news! This networking group has been in the pipelines for a while and we're ready to host the first Climate & Nature-Positive Professionals Australia-wide Networking group on the 15th of August. High level concept: An Australia-wide networking group of professionals from across different areas of focus such as renewable energy, climate, sustainability, disaster recovery / resilience, or environment. The idea is that we meet online on a regular basis (aiming for every 8 weeks) to discuss things such as project collaboration opportunities, material policy or regulatory changes that might affect our work or our clients, upcoming job/role opportunities, upcoming grants or tenders that may be of interest to the group, industry challenges, client / project challenges, project spotlights and celebrations, interesting tech innovations etc. To register please email: ebony@seaoakconsulting.com.au Date: Thursday 15th August Time: 4:30pm - 6pm AEST We are all choosing to be part of this network because we are equally passionate about the impactful work that we do and about contributing to nature-positive and climate-positive initiatives in Australia. Please leave egos and competitive mindsets at the door and come to the workshops ready for collaboration! Looking forward to seeing everyone there and hopefully meeting some new faces 🙂 #climateresilience #climateadaptation #naturepositive #climatepositive #naturerepair #energytransition #renewableenergy #decarbonisation #sustainableagriculture #agritech #networking #sustainability #sustainabilityconsultant #collaboration #ESG #carbonneutral #carbonneutralfarming #climaterisk #seaoakconsulting #seaoak #seaoakconsulting

Great to hear from Infrastructure Net Zero project director Mike Kilburn yesterday on how the collaboration between government and industry will work.   Some highlights: - Infrastructure is responsible for 70% of Australia's emissions (according to Climateworks) across embodied, operational and enabled emissions, with the transport sector being the key driver. - Objective is to avoid duplication of effort and the proliferation of standards and align a common way forward. - Over a year has gone into building the governance framework and work plan, with a Steering Committee delivering the specific work streams. Work streams cut across every sector and every stage of the project development process and asset lifecycle. - Infrastructure Net Zero is feeding into development of new regulation and creating forums for ongoing collaboration. - They recognise that the 10 founding partner organisations don't have all the answers - inviting other organisations to participate in the initiative. Full webinar recording is here. https://lnkd.in/gzabf6VQ

🏠 Join us at the European Sustainable Energy Week 2024 (EUSEW) on 12 June for our joint session on citizen-led renovation initiatives! In this session, we will explore the transformative potential of citizen engagement in tackling renovation challenges and driving energy efficiency improvements in residential buildings. With the recent recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the EU has set ambitious targets for residential building renovations, making citizen-led initiatives more crucial than ever. The support service for Citizen-Led Renovation will be spotlighting together with the Life IP BE REEL project ways to support successful implementation post-recast. By providing guidance for policymakers and establishing a network of grassroots initiatives, this session aims to facilitate the sharing of lessons learned and best practices. We'll explore how citizen-led renovation can empower individuals and communities to become leaders in sustainable development and contribute to achieving the EU's climate and energy targets.

The monetization of carbon credits is a critical element in financing clean technology projects. It not only provides a tangible financial incentive for reducing emissions but also acts as a bridge connecting environmental initiatives with market-based mechanisms. When integrated with community engagement and socioeconomic impact assessments, the value of carbon credits extends beyond mere emissions reduction to drive substantial local and global benefits. This approach aligns with comprehensive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, increasingly adopted by forward-thinking organizations.Tapping into diverse financing sources, including family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and other forms, is essential to scale up these initiatives. It ensures a robust and resilient funding stream that caters to the diverse nature of clean technology projects. Whether the projects are in Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, or the United States, the unifying theme remains: advancing sustainable development and climate action for the betterment of humanity. By adopting a neutral stance on geopolitical and religious outcomes, these initiatives maintain a clear focus on their core mission of fostering a sustainable and equitable future for all. This approach is not just a strategy; it's a commitment to future humanity, generations of species and the planet. @ County Centre for Climate Change
