"Thrilled to share that I have successfully completed the 'Building Climate Resilience Through Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Planning' course, certified by UNITAR, UNEP, NAP-GSP, GEF, UNDP, and UN CC:Learn. Excited to apply this knowledge in promoting sustainable and resilient development!"

Benin🇧🇯 is taking important steps to mainstream its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) across the country.  The communication and monitoring project for the implementation of Benin's NDC was launched at the end of last year with support from UN CC:Learn, the NDC Partnership, and other key stakeholders in the country. The project aims to simplify the language, engage with various stakeholders, and promote territorialization for effective grassroots climate action. "This document (NDC) must be understood by all Beninese so that everyone can act in the same direction." Read on to find out more👇

Successful implementation of the Paris Agreement will only be possible with a conflict sensitive, peace responsive approach. More than half of the countries most vulnerable to #ClimateChange are also impacted by conflict. At COP28, peace, conflict prevention and conflict sensitivity must be part of the official agenda, discussed  in negotiations, and included in outcome documents. The #PeaceAtCOP28 Community provides concrete policy recommendations for conflict-sensitive climate action 👉 tinyurl.com/peaceatcop28

This paper focuses on three sets of 'nexus issues': gender in peace building and conflict prevention, climate change, and the security-development nexus. Our experts assess the EU's approach to these challenges in Guatemala, the Arctic and Serbia👇 engage-eu.eu/wp30

Small islands are facing critical financing gaps as they transition away from official development assistance (#ODA).

In our first article, we breakdown the 5s that coastal cities need to integrate into their city planning and development agenda to achieve climate resilience - taking root in the climate work we conducted for Dagupan City in 2023. As DENR Secretary Loyzaga stressed, there is a "need to have urgent and responsive means to implement adaptation, not just mitigation, and also pursue loss and damages" caused by climate change." Therefore, to achieve ecological integrity from ridge to reef with adaptation in mind, 5-Ss are needed: 1) Science to help in different decision-making levels 2) Scale recognizes the importance of cities 3) Stakeholders to acknowledge the need for whole of government and society 4) Synergy of stakeholders to work together in the most optimal fashion, and 5) Strategies created and has to be done together. Read on below to understand the challenges Philippine coastal cities typically face and the opportunities they should prioritize to achieve ecological harmony and resilience. 🌴

Just returned from the 2024 Pacific Climate Change Conference in Samoa, organized by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). It was an enlightening experience to learn about the pressing issues and potential solutions for the region. During the conference, I presented my ongoing work on physical climate shifts and the importance of framing climate change in a relative, rather than absolute change framework. This philosophy results in a more equitable measure of climate change, and it was alarming to note that the Pacific Island Nations have the highest magnitudes of climate shift globally. Moving forward, my work involves refining our regional climate projections and exploring the implications of these emerging insights for stakeholders in the areas of human security, economics, and climate finance. #PacificClimateChange #SPREP #ClimateChange #Samoa
