In celebration of the World Mangrove Day, we engaged with young minds through a series of exciting activities focused on blue carbon ecosystems, especially the #mangroves! 🌿✨ During last month’s World Mangrove Day, we came to schools on the coastlines of Central Java to organize programs such as: 📚 Interactive Classes: Students participated in hands-on learning sessions about the ecological importance of mangroves, their role in carbon sequestration, and their contribution to coastal protection, biodiversity, and community livelihood. 🌱 Mangrove Planting: The students had the opportunity to get their hands dirty and plant mangrove seedlings, contributing directly to the conservation and restoration of this crucial ecosystem. 🎨 Painting Competition: To encourage creative expression, we held a painting competition where students showcase their talents, as well as their understanding and appreciation of the mangrove ecosystem. We believe these activities not only provided valuable learning experiences and knowledge, but also empowered the youths to take an active role in environmental conservation! Last but not least, we are grateful to all the schools and community groups who have lent their support. Thanks to you, we can nurture a new generation of conservationists who are passionate about protecting our marine and coastal ecosystems!

At the crux of environmental issues is the connectivity of waters, lands, skies, biodiversity and habitats around the world. Given human nature, defining resource management boundaries is challenging, but essential. The people best-equipped to manage natural resources are those most proximate. Too often, boundaries are either absent or without consideration of local management needs. One great example of equitable boundaries is a “bottom-up” approach to tenure and ecosystem management via indigenous and community conserved areas (ICCAs). The Tagbanwa people of the Philippines manage the ecosystem of Coron Island, restricting the use of forest resources for domestic purposes only and prohibiting foreign access to most of the island’s sacred lakes, except for religious and cultural purposes. Defining resource boundaries is one of twelve enabling conditions for #CollectiveAction for nature that the Rare team around the world have identified: https://lnkd.in/e7S8pS8u How is your organization, community or agency challenged by resource boundaries?

Hey everyone! I am beyond thrilled to share something truly incredible with you all. As many of you know, I've been passionately involved in #environmentaladvocacy, striving to make a positive impact on our planet. Today, I'm bursting with joy to have witnessed another fantastic initiative taking root – the Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Strategy launched by The First Lady, which will guide the implementation of the commitment to plant 500 million trees by 2032. It was amazing to have witnessed this on Tuesday and also get a chance to plant a tree myself. To add to this, I want to remind you of the First Lady’s Mazingira Awards, launched by Mama Rachel Ruto in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders. This initiative provides a platform for learners to express their understanding and solutions for environmental conservation and climate change. It's heartwarming to see the youth and young people being empowered to become stewards of our precious Earth. What's even more inspiring is the synergy between this initiative and the incredible work of young climate advocates like myself. Take, for instance, #LittleGreenHearts, an initiative close to my heart, where we're striving for similar goals. The alignment of these efforts means a stronger execution and, most importantly, a greater number of people joining the cause. Together, we truly can create a ripple effect of change! The theme for #FLAMA2024, "Restore our Land, Secure our Future," resonates deeply with me. It emphasizes the critical importance of land restoration, combating desertification, and building drought resilience for a sustainable future. It's a call to action that cannot be ignored, and I urge young minds to participate and unleash their creativity. Let's show the world the power of youth-led environmental action! Together, we can make a difference. Stay green, stay inspired! https://lnkd.in/dJudSNd5 MaMa Doing Good Inger Andersen United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

How are you today? Tell us what you want to hear from us. A Call for Multidisciplinary Support in Environmental Conservation. The challenges facing our planet today are multifaceted and interconnected, spanning across environment, biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable development. Addressing these issues requires a collaborative effort from a wide range of disciplines. This request aims to highlight the urgency of these challenges and the need for multidisciplinary support to ensure a sustainable future for all. Our environment is under unprecedented pressure. Pollution, deforestation, and overexploitation of natural resources are degrading ecosystems at an alarming rate. The consequences are far-reaching, affecting not only wildlife but also human health and livelihoods. To mitigate these impacts, we need concerted efforts in environmental conservation. Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem health and resilience. However, species are disappearing at an accelerating pace due to habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. The loss of biodiversity undermines the stability of ecosystems and the services they provide, such as clean water, pollination, and climate regulation. Protecting biodiversity is crucial for maintaining the balance of nature and ensuring the well-being of future generations. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and extreme weather events are clear indicators of a changing climate. These changes pose significant risks to both natural and human systems. To combat climate change, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, and promote climate resilience in communities and ecosystems. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires balancing economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. Sustainable development is essential for creating a just and equitable world where all people can thrive.

🌍🌱 Happy World Environment Day! 🌱🌍 Today, we celebrate under the theme "Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience" with the powerful slogan "Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration." At the HEED Initiative, we're dedicated to empowering children to play a pivotal role in restoring and protecting our precious environment. 🌿 Here's how we're making a difference: 🌳 Educational Programs: Teaching kids about sustainable practices and the importance of land restoration. 🌳 Tree Planting: Engaging children in hands-on activities to combat deforestation and climate change. 🌳 Community Gardens: Creating outdoor classrooms where kids learn sustainable agriculture and water-efficient gardening. 🌳 Environmental Clubs: Supporting student-led projects and training young leaders to advocate for a sustainable future. 🌳 Storytelling Campaigns: Encouraging children to share their experiences and inspire others.

📜These are The "Ten Commandments for Green Industry". A project launched by NATUR OG UNGDOM and the union Industriaksjonen, aiming to establish principles for an inclusive transition to a green economy that benefits workers and communities, both locally and globally. Historically, the environmental movement and the labor movement have been pitted against each other in the climate debate. With this project, Natur Og Ungdom provides a shining example of how, instead of succumbing to destructive polarization, we should promote respectful dialogue and create new alliances for a more sustainable future 🌍 Read more about the commandment at: https://lnkd.in/dKKMqssf (norwegian) #winwinaward #winwinyouthaward #inclusivetransition #climatechange #thetencommandmends #greenindustry #naturogungdom #environemntalmovement #sustainability #gothenburg #norway

🌱 For #EarthDay2024, let’s look to the Indigenous leaders and communities who have long recognized the interconnected relationships between people and land, and the importance of caring for – and living in harmony with – this Earth.   The Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, Inc. is Canada’s first Indigenous-directed environmental non-profit, founded by eight First Nation Chiefs. The Centre supports Indigenous peoples and communities to manage environmental challenges through partnerships with governments and other organizations. ➡️ https://yourcier.org/ Guided by Indigenous knowledge keepers, water protectors, and land defenders, Indigenous Climate Action believes that “Indigenous Peoples’ rights and knowledge systems are critical to developing solutions to the climate crisis and achieving climate justice.”  They provide communities with knowledge and resources, centering Indigenous rights, cultures, and solutions in the fight against climate change. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dmGvUi2   The Indigenous Environmental Network was founded by grassroots Indigenous peoples and individuals to address environmental justice issues. Their work supports Indigenous communities and practices that protect natural resources, care for Indigenous peoples, and look to global sustainable futures. ➡️ https://www.ienearth.org/   National Aboriginal Lands Managers Association actively incorporates First Nations values and practices in land management, and is committed to empowering land managers through sustainability for the protection of ancestral lands for future generations. ➡️ https://nalma.ca/   🌎 These four organizations are based in North America, but we want to learn about more across our world. What organizations and communities do you turn to?   ✨ Today and always, may we continue to look forward and re-imagine a more equitable, inclusive, and democratic future, one in which we are stewards of this Earth for the generations to come.   #Relationality #Reimagining #Care #Conservation #Sustainability #ClimateAction
