Meet Hari Shankar Sah, who has been running the "Jeet Shankhar" hotel in Birgunj, Nepal, for the past 20 years. Faced with rising LPG costs and smoke from charcoal, Hari switched to the Metallic Improved Cooking Stove (MICS) from Husk Power Nepal. This efficient stove, powered by bio-mass pellets, has significantly reduced his energy costs and improved the working environment for his staff, saving him Rs. 30,400 annually. Winrock International is proud to be a part of this initiative through the Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (NREP), helping promote innovative, renewable energy solutions.

The USAID Upper Lempa Watershed Project, implemented by Winrock International, focuses on the headwaters of the Lempa River, one of the longest in Central America – and the largest river in El Salvador. The project engages government, communities, environmental groups and other stakeholders across El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to improve the health and resilience of the Upper Lempa Watershed, directly impacting the wellbeing and water security of approximately 180,000 people in the three countries. We asked Chief of Party Ana Deisy Lopez Ramos and her El Salvador-based team how the Upper Lempa Watershed Project collaborates with partners to help communities and government of the three nations achieve their aims for this critical natural resource. #WorldWaterWeek #WaterSecurity #CleanWater #Sustainability #Localization #Climate #ClimateSolutions https://lnkd.in/evaUQVyt

We’re excited to share a comprehensive evidence review produced by the USAID Enabling Farmers for Agricultural Transformation project that delves into the role played by agricultural extension and advisory services in supporting climate change adaptation and mitigation. This review highlights the latest strategies and practices used by agricultural extension and advisory services in low-income countries to empower smallholder farmers to build resilience against climate change.

Today, I’m pleased that Winrock International Net Zero Climate Services Unit is releasing a brief we prepared for the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA) titled “Exploring how Energy Transition Accelerator credits could help decarbonize value chains: A brief on an illustrative use case and key issues for continued analysis”. https://lnkd.in/gGNCAfnK The ETA is an innovative carbon finance platform aimed at catalyzing private capital to support just energy transition strategies in developing and emerging economies. The central feature of the ETA will be the introduction of a sector-scale crediting approach for the electricity sector intended to ensure environmental integrity and to incentivize broad sectoral transformation. This brief explores the case of a hypothetical technology company that is seeking to mitigate its Scope 3 electricity emissions related to copper and how it could purchase and cancel ETA credits as a mitigation approach. The brief shows how a technology company sourcing goods and services with copper components: 1. calculates copper emissions and identifies which of those are from electricity generation, 2. seeks to address emissions from copper at the source, 3. encounters significant barriers, 4. purchases ETA credits on account of those barriers, and 5. matches tons CO2e of copper production emissions from electricity with an equivalent amount of ETA credits. As noted in the brief, there are some open questions related to this in-value chain use case for ETA credits, which we hope to explore further this year in future briefs. We welcome your feedback and engagement on the paper here and/or by email to [email protected]

How does #ClimateChange affect #agriculture, and why should we care about #farmers? Those were two questions from William (บุญ) Sparks, #thaiRAIN's Chief of Party, to 30 finalists in a youth pitching competition earlier today. William's topics helped these young contestants connect how population growth, climate change, challenges in food safety and agriculture production, and how everyone could help. The 4-day event is part of the 4th International Conference on Environment, Livelihood, and Services: Environmental Adaptation and Social Self-Reliance (#ICELS2024), which is organised by The Chaipattana Foundation, and the Faculty of Environment, Kasetsart University, and the Royal Laem Phak Bia Project. #thaiRAIN is contributing our technical inputs and documentation of the event. More about #ICELS2024, click http://www.icels-ku.com. #thaiRAIN is supported by USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and executed by Winrock International. kritkarun krongpol

Join Winrock International at the annual Cracking the Nut conference on Oct 8th at 10:15 AM in Abuja as we dive into "Catalyzing Farmer Adoption of Climate Smart Services in Nigeria." Discover how we transformed extension into an enterprise to transition Nigeria's food systems towards climate-resilient practices amidst the environmental, economic, and social challenges faced by farmers. With our assistance, the private sector has secured over $68 million to expand smallholder-focused services, benefiting over 1.5 million farmers with improved access to affordable climate-smart technologies. Register now to join us for an engaging discussion on how these innovations are reshaping Nigeria's agricultural landscape and paving the way for sustainable development! https://cvent.me/99m3NA
