Sustainability starts with being mindful of everyday actions. Do you know which everyday items are recyclable? You'd be surprised! For those items that can't be recycled, don't forget to adopt the other 2️⃣ Rs of sustainable living: reduce & reuse. On #GlobalRecyclingDay, let's make responsible choices to build a greener planet for all.🌏🌿 United Nations in India UNICEF India Generation Unlimited United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) UN Sustainable Development Group Dhuwarakha Sriram Abhishek Gupta

Let's rethink how we approach ESG, making it a central part of our business values. By adopting circular practices, where waste is seen as a resource, we can innovate solutions that benefit both our bottom line and the planet. Sustainability isn't just a trend; it's about shifting our mindset towards creating a better future for all.

According to 2024 Sustainable Development Report, at the global level, SDG progress has been stagnant since 2020, with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) particularly off track. The five SDG targets on which the highest proportion of countries show a reversal of progress since 2015 are: obesity rate (under SDG 2), press freedom (under SDG 16), the Red List Index (under SDG 15), sustainable nitrogen management (under SDG 2), and – due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other factors that vary across countries – life expectancy at birth (under SDG 3). Goals and targets related to basic access to infrastructure and services, including SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), show slightly more positive trends, although progress remains too slow and uneven across countries.

The world is facing a tremendous challenge: the increasing consumption of our planet's resources, which will only escalate with the projected rise in the global middle-class population by 2030, reaching five billion people. This poses problems and challenges that humanity must confront to ensure its survival as we know it. The linear economic model of consumption we are accustomed to will not enable us to meet the future challenges of ecological transition. As Albert Einstein suggested, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Therefore, we must adopt a different mindset to effectively address these issues and abandon the linear model that leads us down a dead-end path. Our laboratory aims to propose an alternative to the linear model: the circular economy and ways to integrate it into businesses. There is no ready-made approach yet to achieve this transition within Congolese companies. Luba Hub invites companies and SMEs to participate in the "3R" approach (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). These three Rs provide a clear guideline for organizations seeking to make a transition, offering them directions and choices to consider. We are open to technical and financial partners to ensure the success of the ecological transition in the DRC. Please contact us at 243821156330 www.lubaconsulting.com.

Africa@COP28 (Day 5): Igniting Change: Africa's Leap to Clean Cooking by 2032 Yesterday an encouraging number of global leaders united for a sustainable future with the African Women Clean Cooking Support Programme (AWCCSP), launched by Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan. ✔ Scale of the Problem and Health Impacts: Approximately 80% of households in sub-Saharan Africa rely on wooden biomass for cooking. This has led to the loss of 3.9 million hectares of forest between 2010 and 2020 in Africa. The health consequences are severe, with 300,000 women and 300,000 children dying annually due to respiratory diseases linked to these cooking methods. The risk of women dying from a lack of clean cooking solutions is three times higher than from malaria. ✔ Economic Costs: The global economic cost of women's hours spent fetching firewood is estimated at $800 billion annually, and the health cost is estimated at $1.4 trillion annually. ✔ Investment Requirements: To achieve this goal, an estimated $4 billion a year is required to provide clean cooking equipment to 250 million women by 2030. This involves directing at least 5% of the current $70 billion energy investments annually into clean cooking solutions. Additionally, the development of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) infrastructure and significant shares of annual energy financing from multilateral finance institutions are crucial. ✔ Private Sector Role: The private sector is encouraged to establish commercial supply chains for clean cooking alternatives, including improved stoves and facilitating access to electricity in rural areas. ✔ Broader Environmental and Societal Benefits: The commitment aligns with broader goals of mitigating climate change and environmental degradation, building resilience in agricultural communities, improving nutrition, and food security. ✔ Global Context: Globally, 2.3 billion people lack access to clean energy for cooking, relying instead on polluting fuels and stoves. ✔ Technological Solutions and Funding: The International Energy Agency (IEA) outlines that liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and electric cooking are key solutions. Investment in clean cooking stoves, equipment, and infrastructure is crucial, with an annual need of about USD 8 billion. This represents less than 1% of what governments globally spent in 2022 on energy affordability measures. ✔ Gender Equality and Economic Empowerment: The initiative aims to address gender equality and poverty, with particular emphasis on the benefits to women and girls, who are disproportionately affected by lack of access to clean cooking solutions. #CleanCookingRevolution #SustainableAfrica2032 #HealthyCookingHealthyFuture #COP28Action
