Meet Hamda: using an improved cookstove makes a huge impact on her daily life 🌟 The smoke created from Hamda’s traditional cookstove was giving her severe headaches. After switching to a more efficient Jikokoa cookstove, her health problems improved significantly and it’s now a companion to her daily life. 🥘    Like Hamda and many other Somalians facing health difficulties, traditional cooking methods also put a strain on a third of the global population, according to the World Health Organization, in terms of relying on unsafe and environmentally harmful cooking practices. Improved cookstoves greatly reduce the amount of firewood used, which saves money, avoids carbon emissions, reduces deforestation, and improves the health of daily users. The cookstoves that Hamda and others are using from this social impact project are produced by BURN, the largest manufacturer in Africa for modern and improved cookstoves. #socialimpact #improvedcookstoves #climateaction #ClimatePartner Read more about this project: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAg-23fn 

Social impact projects: Engaging in climate action while improving the daily lives of people 🏡 Whether it’s smoke pollution, deforestation from gathering wood, or contaminated water, there are technologies to solve these problems that can improve the lives of millions of people around the world. Improved cookstoves, water filters, and solar lamps are simple yet effective methods to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released while also benefiting the health and environment of local communities. 🌍 Interested in learning more and getting involved? 👉 https://lnkd.in/emUz48Kk #socialimpact #climateaction #ClimatePartner

What are carbon credits? 🤔 Carbon credits represent certified removals, avoidances, or reductions of greenhouse gases. A carbon reduction derived from a third-party certified project generates a carbon credit. Therefore, a carbon credit is an instrument that represents ownership of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent that can be traded, sold, or retired.    Carbon credits are a valuable method for companies to generate funds for climate projects that mitigates climate change and also contribute to social, environmental, and economic objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.    Learn more about carbon credits in our climate action glossary 👇    English: https://lnkd.in/emvPN5Yz  German: https://lnkd.in/evMgHxC3 #carboncredits #climateaction #ClimatePartner

From production to disposal, the textile industry generates high emissions. But is there another way? 👕 The Munich-based fashion start-up SANVT shows how the fashion industry can reduce its impact on the climate. Founded with the vision of offering high-quality basics for everyday wear, the company focuses on sustainability in its production processes with short, transparent supply chains and durable materials. For even more engagement, SANVT implemented the five steps of climate action together with ClimatePartner, as Head of Marketing and Co-Founder Benjamin Heyd explains.    To achieve this, the company set itself targets for reducing CO₂ emissions after calculating its carbon footprint: a 10% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 and 20% reduction in Scope 3, in each case from 2023 to 2026.    Read the full success story here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJJMePBN #SANVT #fashion #climateaction #ClimatePartner

Our tip for climate action communication: Addressing inconvenient truths 💡 Companies benefit from communicating about climate action, which fulfils the consumers’ needs and inspires other stakeholders to act. On the other hand, communicating sustainability measures transparently and clearly can sometimes be challenging. Our recommendations can help you build credibility. Today’s tip for climate action communication is to address inconvenient truths. Being transparent means not only talking about what you’ve accomplished, but also about the challenges and limits of your ecological achievements. Address the following: what obstacles need to be overcome? Which products, processes, or business areas are still unsustainable and for what reasons? For instance, you can be transparent about the impact of production processes on the climate, and which technologies, if implemented, can help reduce your carbon footprint. Explaining how you want to solve challenges in the future enables you to communicate openly and eye-to-eye. Stay tuned for more communication tips in the future! #transparency #communication #climateaction #ClimatePartner

Imagine your daily life ending when the sun goes down. Imagine cooking over an open fire and worrying about getting sick from unsafe water. These are the realities for millions of people in India. Solutions such as clean cookstoves, solar lamps, and water filters are often expensive and difficult to access in remote areas. Through microloans, our partner MicroEnergy Credits is enabling women micro-entrepreneurs in rural areas of India to access funding for such devices and build supply chains. 🤝 In our latest blog, micro-entrepreneurs Latha, Mamta, and Krishna explain how the project has improved their lives: 👉 https://bit.ly/4fpO9Gt #cookstoves #cleancooking #cleandrinkingwater #climateaction #ClimatePartner

476,222* improved cookstoves for people in Nigeria with more to come! 🍲 In Nigeria, 87% of the population have no access to clean cooking methods. It's common to cook over open fires with large amounts of wood, creating high levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The smoke is also harmful to people's health and can lead to respiratory disease and even death. This project distributes improved cookstoves that make cooking faster and cleaner. The cookstove is available in five sizes, whether they’re serving families or small businesses. 🥗 Read more about the project and how it saves CO₂ and protects forests:   👉 https://lnkd.in/eYh24jQG *The number refers to the time between the start of the project in 2017 and the end of the last monitoring period in 2022. #projectofthemonth #cookstoves #climateaction #ClimatePartner 

1 August is already Earth Overshoot Day: Moving in the wrong direction 🔎 Earth Overshoot Day marks the day when the planet’s ecological resources produced for the year is consumed. After that, a biocapacity deficit – the inability of ecosystems to regenerate what people require – is created for that year and demand is met by consuming even more resources. 🌍 This means that we must resort to unsustainable methods like deforestation and overfishing as well as emitting more CO2 to make up for the deficit. A persistence in this direction leads to declines in biodiversity, excess greenhouse gasses, and greater resource competition. Therefore, we must #MoveTheDate: solutions via the Power of Possibility are broken down into deployable measures that show how far their adoption would push back the overshoot date. For instance, adopting renewable energy like wind and solar gives us 26 days; distributing rural solar power and microgrids to create energy self-sufficient communities provides 8 days; and clean cookstoves that reduce emissions and improves the health of people cooking, 6 days.    How can we move the date back together? 🙏 #EarthOvershootDay #PowerOfPossibility #MoveTheDate #climateaction #ClimatePartner
