Indigenous people in #Colombia are adopting strategies to adapt to climate change’s impact on their community --highlighting the important role and responsibility of diverse cross-sectoral actors to facilitate and fund climate change adaptation. These communities’ efforts also show the urgent need for inclusive, global-scale mitigation plans, since regaining balance in our ecosystems requires everyone’s support. https://lnkd.in/d9Zh-chA

#Belize is unlocking #ClimateAction with increased #transparency A training programme on climate transparency has increased Belize's capacity to report under #EnhancedTransparencyFramework under the #ParisAgreement. Central to this initiative is the Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Model (#GACMO), a newly updated tool that can be used for #emission and mitigation modelling, improving Belize’s climate tracking and reporting efforts. The training programme, which contains a series of training workshops, is carried out under the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT).

For Indigenous people, land is the foundation of their lives and culture. Protecting their land is key to their survival. This women-led Ecuadorian guard is doing just that!   Over 40 Kichwa women in the Ecuadorian Amazon formed “Yuturi Warmi” - a guard to defend their territory against mining. Led by María José Andrade Cerda, they protect not only the land, but also their culture, education, and health. Their efforts are inspired by the Yuturi ants, known as “conga ants,” who fiercely defend their homes. Initially, Yuturi Warmi aimed to increase income through crafts, but with growing mining threats, they focused on territorial defense . Despite challenges, they've become Ecuador's first Indigenous guard led by Kichwa women, striving against all forms of interference in their territory. Their struggle resonates internationally, but they face gender-based skepticism and marginalization from the state. Checkout this interview of María José Andrade Cerda, leader of Ecuador’s first Indigenous guard.

Did you know that only 2% of philanthropic giving is directed toward climate mitigation? This falls short of the scale required for meaningful climate action. To bridge this gap, we must rethink how climate philanthropy is approached. The World Economic Forum shares key insights from leading philanthropists:👇 🌱 Philanthropic investments should not only reduce emissions but also create tangible solutions to climate challenges. 🤝 Collaborative philanthropic networks amplify impact—by pooling resources, more capital can drive effective climate solutions. ⚖️ Philanthropy plays a critical role in advancing climate justice while promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. At the SCeNe Coalition, we are dedicated to accelerating nature-based solutions (NbS) in Southeast Asia, partnering with philanthropists to deliver impactful, evidence-based climate action that supports global goals. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ekQaj6tc #SCeNeCoaliton #ClimatePhilanthropy #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions #WorldEconomicForum

"The intersecting climate and human rights crises are going to become progressively more challenging." (p8). This report explores the pressing issue of heat resilience and the impact on human rights. It sheds light on the increasing threats to human rights, such as the right to health, education, food, water and shelter, that extreme heat and creates. It makes a series of recommendations targeted to governments (national and local), public/private authorities and companies. Worth a read! #HeatResilience #ClimateAction #HumanRights
