2022 Initiative Foundation's post

Hello from UNEP@50, This historic event is both a celebration of the many years we’ve been working towards securing a greener future and a mournful remembrance of the time it has taken to get even this far. More than ever, with the release of the latest IPCC report, with the knowledge of energy security’s overwhelming impact on the current crisis in Ukraine, we need urgent and ambitious action to address the 2030 agenda. 2022IF, in collaboration with The Club of Rome, will be hosting a dialogue tomorrow 3 March 2022 at 17.00 EAT, both hybrid from Nairobi and online. If you would like to register to join on Zoom, use the link at the end of this post. We invite you to join in the dialogue, and to visit our website for more information about the program details at: https://www.2022initiative.org/help-us-build-this-unep50-side-event-into-a-global-phenomenon/ 2022IF is asking for participants from our Nairobi Dialogue and other Dialogue Hubs to record commitments here on the We Don’t Have Time platform. Please comment below with a few sentences about what you personally will do to work towards the SDGs. We suggest the following format: “I commit to reduce or increase….by …..x amount within …..x months” This could be increase my use of renewable energy, bio food, plant trees, biodiversity. Or it could be reduce food waste, use of dangerous chemicals reduce waste to landfill, etc. Corporations should have more ambitious commitments than private individuals or households. For example: Private person: My action towards the SDGs is to reduce C02 emissions by reducing household waste by composting all biodegradable waste. I will monitor this by measuring the waste and recording it over the next 3 months. Small Group: Our action as community of 10people is to increase biodiversity by restoring 10 hectares of land through regenerative land management practices by 2025 Large Organisation: Our action as an organisation is to reduce C02 emissions by increasing our use of renewable energy to 50% by June 2022 and eventually to 100% by 2025.

    That's an inspiring initiative! Individuals, communities, and organizations must take concrete https://drift-hunters.org actions like these to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create a more sustainable future.

      It is my hope that all the signatories of this pledge will strictly implement the rules set forth to work towards a common global goal of reducing C02 emissions. https://mapquestdirections.org

              My climate action to reduce CO2 -emissions is to keep educating on the climate crisis, it’s solutions and the personal leadership needed. I have stopped flying. And I will aim to live in line with the Paris agreement footprint. Right now more greens, no meat, less chicken and fish.

                I commit to reduce my co2 footprint further by stop eating meat, using staircase rather than lift, walking more where necessary, and communicate more in terms of awareness about the effects of climate change.

                  My climate action to reduce CO2-emissions is to only travel by train in Europe. I have also installed solar panels on my roof, replaced my petrol car with an EV and cut down heavily on meat. And I try to communicate all this is a friendly way, to encourage others to follow.

                      My action towards the SDGs is to reduce C02 emissions by minimising household waste, recycling everything that is recyclable, and composting all biodegradable waste. I will monitor this by measuring the waste every three days and I will record it for a month to begin with. Then I will make a new goal after that.
