🌧️ New cloudburst projects are to future-proof Copenhagen against climate change!   With heavier rainfall in the future, our cities need climate adaptation to remain resilient towards more cloudbursts and warmer temperatures.   We are happy that COWI and Arkitema will help prepare Copenhagen for the challenges of heavier rainfall in a new framework agreement with Københavns Kommune 🌱 We are also over the moon that preserving biodiversity and innovating to minimise the environmental footprint are key aspects of the projects.   Learn more 💡 and see a similar climate adaptation project we did in Enghaveparken below 👇 #copenhagen #investinginthefuture Jeppe Sikker Jensen

“Carpathian Futures - Critical Transitions” was a timely overarching theme of the 7th #ForumCarpaticum conference.  We wanted to directly address the socio-ecological crises in our region - war in Ukraine, loss of Biodiversity, Climate Change, Pollution… and to invite dialogue on ways towards sustainable futures in the Carpathian region.  Despite the many challenges (or opportunities, as we decided to rename them in our co-organizers’ team 😉 ) and undeterred by the lack of sleep, we are quite optimistic about the outcomes 💚. https://lnkd.in/dxXGwurr #Carpathianscience #CarpathianConvention

Dear Planet friends 💙 As some of you might have heard, it is a critical time for our #oceans (and our future): this year, the Norwegian Premier Minister @Jonas Gahrs announced its decision to open the doors to #DeepSeaMining, on an area large as Germany, in the pristine and fragile Arctic Ocean part of the Norwegian continental shelf. 🇧🇻 The deep ocean, just as the Arctic, are the pillars of our global climate: we all rely on them for climate stability, and they host a unique biodiversity, mostly still unknown from scientists. 🌎 Scientists are clear: we simply cannot afford to loose deep sea and Arctic ecosystems now. We need to #StopDeepSeaMining.✋️ Thankfully, there is still one short window to overturn the government’s decision and protect the Arctic from the irreversible impacts deep sea mining would have. 🌊 It’s now or never, and that’s where you are needed! ⬇️ Norwegian and international activists are asking the Norwegian government to stop its plan to open the doors to #DeepSeaMining in the Arctic ocean. ⛔ What you can do 👇 🦑Join the #very spontaneous Demo on Wed 22.11.2023 from 11:30-12:30am at Rathausbrücke in Zürich (8001) to take a collective picture and show Switzerland is watching!

Small Island Developing States are on the frontlines of climate change and nature loss as they face harsh realities of sea level rise, more unpredictable weather patterns, and degraded ecosystems, yet their unique situation also means that they are also driving forward a remarkable range of innovative and interconnected solution Today, we launched with the Global Environment Facility a new $135M Blue and Green Islands Integrated Programme, which emphasizes the key role of nature and expands nature-based solutions to combat environmental degradation in: ▪️ Urban development ▪️ Food production ▪️ Tourism Find out more: go.undp.org/Z7S #SIDS4
