This is an enriching session. Yes I can do many things alone, but I can do lot many things "when you stand by me". It is so crucial to stand by each other during this time of climate emergency. It is so heartening to connect through the song at the end. The climate action plan for keeping the global temperatur rise below 1.5 degree is a great idea. It was great to see the elder brothers and sisters of weather kids from Iran, Mali, Dominica, Canada, Rowanda, Brazil, Denmark, Morocco, Ecuador, North M., USA, Mongolia, Lebanon, Pakistan, Republic of Maltova, Kenya to come forward and demanding for climate action and intervention to stop air pollution in most respectful and loving manner from the global leaders at the beginning of the event. It was morally boosting to listen for bold climate action in 3rd generation NDC. Of course, it is worth trying for below 1.5 degree through NDC and it's implementations. UN head reminded us that Copérnico climate services has identified this March as hottest March but still everything is not gloom and doom. UNDP is supporting 128 countries for preparation of NDCs (Nationally Determined Contribution). Energy, Land use, Agriculture is to be emphasized. Here, I would most humbly add "water", which is surely in the list but most probably has not been mentioned in the excellent speech. The OECD countries are asked for mandatory phasing out of coal by 2030. He has not only provided the to do list but also called for moving the money. He has asked the G20 countries, whose contribution is 80% in GHG emission to lead in ways to move the money towards clean and green investment. He asked for redirecting the fund flows to relieve the countries, which are suffocating with debt. Loss and damage fund is a possible source. Fossil fuel is a common enemy in a world where cost of ice is more than cost of bread and rice. Inaction is leading to erosion of trust in global leadership. Rebuilding of trust is so much important. Heat wave is devastating the nations from Jamanica to Mali. It is time to take action. It was great to listen to the actions initiated by all the world leaders who participated in the discussion including UAE, current presidency of COP. Different countries are taking different actions based on their priorities. Solar lights have transformed 1000 health facilities of Zimbabwe to well-lit hospitals, where surgeries can be performed at nights. Maldives is transforming its tourism model that started in 1966 through introduction of solar energy and ecotourism. Germany aspire to lead by example of having 1.5 degree compliance NDC. Ecuador shall be soon ready to invite tourists for deforestation free coffee. UAE has target of becoming netzero compliant by 2050 but the recent flood at Dubal made the country realized again the climate change is real and actions need to be doubled immediately. Brazil the host of 2030 COP has set up a task force for action and has developed an Ecological Transformation Plan. Brazil is aligning finance flows with Article 2.1 C of UNFCCC. However, the world demands more action oriented and game changing plans and interventions from Brazil. No one can ignore the vibrant voice of young Chandra Tripura fighting for the lives and rights of indigenous people. Inclusive is just transition is required for a world where growth is sustainable for all. Unlocking and mobilizing the market capital for climate action is the key. It seems that it is doable if "you stand by me". Determination for "climate ambitions, assertion and inclusion" are contagious. It feels everything is possibly when "you stand by me". Moving the money movement of WDHT is gaining momentum very fast, Communication and collaboration are the keys. Gratitude for showing path for breaking the glass by connecting the hearts. Accolade for the moderator Ato Essandoh for vibrant hosting of this impactful event. UNCCC is providing support to the countries for support ecosystem and NDCs through workshops and webinars. These are sessions for consensus buildings. PS: Initially https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoTMUlMJvlk&t=7s I posted a comment after watching the live session and cherishing it but my post was becoming rather long. I, therefore, writing a review for expressing my love and gratitude for UN and WDHT for such positive leaderships and pushing climate plans to set target below 1.5 degree. I shall update this post within next 24 hours again as now I shall have to stop for taking few actions in my work area.. Advance apologies for inconveniences. I took longer than 24 hours to return to this post and I express gratitude to all 75 members, who have already agreed. I have made few editorial corrections and added few descriptions of actions, which have been shared by the participating leaders today. All the views expressed here are my personal views and I again express my gratitude for allowing me to share my views.

https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/2eafa321-1c40-46d8-a964-84cbc9956abf UNDP in collaboration with WMO launched a climate campaign on Weather kids, where kids from 80 different countries came up with weather forecast. The creativity and deep messages about future weather and climate solutions from innocent voices immediately touch our hearts. The language of truth, hope and faith is more powerful than any the language of humans. It is irrelevant, in which language these kids are speaking. The impact in our mind in undeniable and long-lasting. This campaign is launched on 21.03.2024 through a programme , which was webcasted on 21.03.2024 and is available in YouTube in following link. The programme was graced by Professor Celeste Saulo, Secretary WMO, Ms Agi Veres, Director, Geneva Office, UNDP, Ms Lauren Stuart, Scientific Officer, Mr Boaz Paldi, Chief Creative Officer UNDP, Mr Ingmar Rentzhog,Ms Marie-Clarie Graf, Future leaders Network, Ms Rosa Sangiorgio, Head of ESG, Mr Rajan Sings Earth X, Mr Mathew Wilson, PR & Ambassador, Barbadose and other luminaries. Professor Celeste Saulo in her opening remark observed the transformational journey of weather news from last minute broad casting after regular radio and TV news to today's "The news" -status. Weather forecasts are now crucial for clean power generation because wind and solar power generation depends on weather parameters. Weather information is the backbone of different services provided the National Meteorological and Hydrological Organizations. It indeed empowers everyone. I stayed few days in a remote village in Kashipur block of Purulia district of West Bengal, India in 2017-2018 and there I have seen how the sms generated through processing AWS (Automatic Weather Station) data is helping poorer tribal women to decide when to cut the vegetable in her backward to avoid damages from sudden rain. These women prefer not to wear their best dresses in their friends' wedding if there is a forecasting of heavy rain, because she knows that rain can spoil her last remaining favorite sari (dress). Informed decision making empower them to protect their possessions. These AWS-s were installed under first Adaptation Fund (AF) project of India. Weather forecasting is used in many known as well as many unknown sectors like road repair, organizing meeting and many more. Professor Saulo very rightly pointed out that everyone aspires for development, because it links our past and present to future. Infact ideal sustainable development should link our past and present to a happy and stable future. Our children and their children and their children deserve that happy and sustainable future. It is the responsibility of the present generation to take action to keep the target of ' limiting global temperature rise within 1.5 deg' alive. July 2023 was the hottest single month. In northern hemisphere, after equinox in June 2023, temperature is supposed to start to decline. Maximum rise of temperature in July 2023, therefore, indicates serious climate threats. In a video message Dr. Abullah Al Mandous, President, WMO gave us an idea about vast weather monitoring coverage of WMO, that comprises 11000 surface stations, 1300 upper air stations, 1200 buoys, 348 satellites, 1111 radar stations, 3000 aircrafts, 52 data center, 26 geostationary monitoring, 6 tropical cyclone monitoring, 141 special centers for work and research. This weather monitoring network is impressive but it needs immediate expansion for addressing the growing demand of location specific forecast. This demand for better weather information is substantiated by informative short video on climate actions by Zimbabwe and other countries. Access to renewable power in remote locations are ensuring safe surgeries, proper storage of vaccines in refrigerators without long power cut and eventually contributing to community health. I hope these benefits shall also be taken account, while doing a cost benefit analysis of renewables. More specific weather information shall improve efficiency of cleaner power generation. Dr. Agi Veres, UNDP emphasized on need for individual actions and policy interventions. She resonated with the Professor Saulo's opinion that children are our hope and responsibility. Their power to influence the decision of their parents for climate sensibility deserves applaud. She shared how UNDP is helping countries to set NDCs (Nationally Determined Contribution) in SAPCCs (State Action Plan on Climate Changes). Local youths are being engaged in few countries for mapping urban heat islands. These participatory methods enable the youth to understand the science and to generate meaningful information. In fire-side discussion Lauren Stuart, (who was a weather kid of 6 years in 2000 and has now transmuted to a scientist in WMO in 2024) and Boaz Paldi once again highlighted the need for story telling for information dissemination and consensus building. The weather kid videos are designed with such an human appeal that no one can disagree to the need for climate action. Ms Marie Clair-Grap,h has seen the fear about future in young minds and mistrust of the youth in government action for climate. In response, She has built "Future Network". Her vibrant moderation and warm participation by the panelists made the panel discussion for limiting temperature rise within 1.5 degree very lively. The action taken by Barbados can be exemplary for other island-countries. Rosa Sangiogio, Head ESG proposed to alter the carbon pricing system by calculating the externalities of fossil fuel industry. July 2023 was hottest single month and fossil fuel industry enjoyed maximum profit in 2023. Causality can be easily found. This scenario can change if such externalities of fossil fuel combustion are incorporated in financial calculations by the financial institutions. Financial Institutions is a bridge between people with money and people with idea. Ingmar Rentozhog, We Dont have Time showed beautifully that the subsidy of US$ 7 Trillion in fossil fuel can be moved to renewable sector which now annually require US$ 4.5 Trillion. Idea for expediting the whole process is waited for effective implementation. He is spear heading the "Move the Money " campaign. It seems finance should also be channelized for more efficient weather and climate services. The commemoration of World Meteorological Day, which was on 23.03.2024 has been celebrated with fruitful discussions and actions on 21.03.2024. UNDP, WMO, WDHT all deserve climate accolade for success of this programme.

Mangroves play a vital role in protecting coastlines from erosion and storm surges. In Kenya's southern coast, the villages of Gazi and Makongeni in Kwale County have a story that resonates beyond their borders. This is the story of the Mikoko Pamoja project, which is a symphony of environmental stewardship, community resilience, and transformative impact. It is rooted in the Gazi Women's pioneering initiative that began in 2009. https://undp-kenya.medium.com/mikoko-pamoja-nurturing-nature-empowering-communities-b459993b817b

This initiative follows the endorsement of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed back in 2022 to integrate solar power into archaeological heritage sites and museums. The MoU was inked during the United Nations climate conference, COP27, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt on November 11, 2022. The pact was a mutual agreement between the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Aligning with State Commitment Moamen Othman, the head of SCA’s museum department, remarked that this project is in line with the state’s commitment to preserving archaeological sites. The ambitious plan aims to transition these sites into solar energy-based green locations, in alignment with the ‘Egypt Vision 2030’ Sustainable Development Strategy.

ransboundary environmental crime presents a serious threat in the Asia region. Illegal trade in wildlife undermines conservation efforts, harms economies, devastates livelihoods, and compromises ecosystems on which humans depend. The Asia region is also a destination for illegal transboundary movement of chemicals and waste. https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/asia-enforcement-awards-winners-tackling-scourge-transboundary

At this year's UN General Assembly, the importance of inclusive global governance for Artificial Intelligence (AI) was discussed, recognizing its potential and challenges. The UN Secretary-General suggested the need for a new UN agency to manage AI's global impact. AI technology, which can think like humans, has been evolving since the 1950s, with platforms like ChatGPT gaining over 100 million users. AI already impacts the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by supporting various initiatives worldwide. Despite its potential, AI poses challenges, including data bias, potential job losses, and disinformation. To harness AI's potential, UNDP focuses on democratizing and demystifying AI, empowering people to use AI for better lives, exploring AI safely, and protecting people from AI's negative impacts. UNDP's approach underscores that AI is about people and must be people-centered. It emphasizes public awareness, knowledge, and understanding of AI, making AI products relevant to different contexts, experimenting with AI safely, and using AI ethically and responsibly. UNDP's global work acknowledges the importance of context, collaboration, capacities, competencies, and comparative advantage when implementing AI in development. AI is seen as a tool that can augment human efforts and should be founded on inclusivity and rights. The post also highlights that AI's reach extends beyond Silicon Valley, with innovation happening in developing countries, offering a vast opportunity for global collaboration and innovation. In the era of AI, responsible and equitable use is crucial for a more sustainable and prosperous world while avoiding further digital divides. https://www.undp.org/blog/thinking-deep-ensure-ai-delivers-greatest-impact

Over the last century tiger populations have declined by over 95% due to habitat loss and wildlife trafficking. But UNDP Malaysia and the Global Environment Facility in partnership with local communities, are working to protect last remaining wild populations of endangered Malayan tiger. A century ago, there were approximately 100,000 wild tigers in their various natural habitats worldwide; that number has decreased to around 3,500 today, with three out of nine subspecies of wild tigers declared extinct within the last 70 years. At present, tigers are under severe pressure from a variety of interlinked threats: poaching and the illegal wildlife trade, loss of prey species, disease, roadkill, and habitat destruction, to name just a few. The challenge is exacerbated by the interrelationships between threats and their overlapping timeframes. In the short term, the illegal wildlife trade has the greatest potential to crater the tiger population, whereas the long-term survival of the tiger will depend on cohering fragmented tiger habitats (or rehabilitating adjacent degraded ones) into a functioning whole. The Improving Connectivity in the Central Forest Spine Landscape (IC-CFS) project is a collaborative effort between the Malaysian Government and international bodies to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. With funding from Global Environment Facility (GEF) and support from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the project is working to restore contiguous forest landscapes in Central Forest Spine. An integral part of the project is targeted support to wildlife enforcement systems. Specifically, the project is improving the wildlife crime intelligence system through the integration of wildlife enforcement operations to protect tigers and reduce wildlife crime in Malaysia.

Statement by Prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan KC on the issuance of arrest warrants against President Vladimir Putin and Ms Maria Lvova-Belova. Putin is ultimately responsible for enormous environmental destruction and human suffering. He has stolen a large number of children from their parents in Ukraine. Finally, initiatives are taken with greater force. ********************************* On 22 February 2023, I submitted applications to Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court for warrants of arrest in the context of the Situation in Ukraine. Today, the Pre-Trial Chamber has issued arrest warrants in relation to the following two individuals: Mr Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation; and Ms Maria Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. On the basis of evidence collected and analysed by my Office pursuant to its independent investigations, the Pre-Trial Chamber has confirmed that there are reasonable grounds to believe that President Putin and Ms Lvova-Belova bear criminal responsibility for the unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, contrary to article 8(2)(a)(vii) and article 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute. Incidents identified by my Office include the deportation of at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children’s care homes. Many of these children, we allege, have since been given for adoption in the Russian Federation. The law was changed in the Russian Federation, through Presidential decrees issued by President Putin, to expedite the conferral of Russian citizenship, making it easier for them to be adopted by Russian families.

It is everyone's responsibility to take care of mother nature . This means every one has to come out of their comfort zones and contribute to activities that enhance protection of mother earth. We need the world leaders to surpport our ideas since the effects of climate change are mostly affected by the poor. There is need for climate justice at all levels of development in the world to be able to mitigate and adapt to climate risks. Water accessibility should be made for free in African rural areas where most farmers stay but unable to grow crops all year round because of hot seasons, water accessibility can make irrigation and watering of crops possible, keeping of animals and poultry which enhance biodiversity in the environment. Many households are unable to have a full day's meal but able to have one meal per day because food is now scarce and expensive as a result of a few farmers who can afford the modern irrigation systems. Our world leaders should come out of their comfort zones now and help bring equal development at all levels in Africa. httpse/yjY_u7M4tPQ

Government Ministers, UN experts, scientists and youth activists from all over the world joined the UNDP Hour in Stockholm earlier this summer to talk about the effects of the climate crisis – and the solutions to get us out of it. The event was a huge success that reached millions of viewers worldwide. UNDP and We Don't Have Time co-hosted a public and live broadcast arena called the STHLM+50 Climate Hub during the week of Stockholm+50 in early June. The broadcasts turned out to be a huge success and reached more than 31 million viewers from 160 countries on Twitter alone. A recurring part of this five-day event was the UNDP Hour, which brought together some of the world’s most notable experts to make sense of the Stockholm+50 conference and the most pressing climate concerns of our times. Did you miss any of the UNDP Hours? Watch all episodes here. Day 1. The right to a healthy environment: From resolution to reality In 2021, for the first time ever, the UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution recognizing that access to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is a human right. What does this new resolution mean for people and the planet? What is needed for this right to be effectively executed? With: - David R. Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment - Archana Soreng, Environmental Activist and member from the Secretary General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate - Gustavo Manrique, Minister of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition - Matilde Mordt, UNDP Resident Representative of Ecuador Moderator: - Victor Galaz, Deputy Director at the Stockholm Resilience Centre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh0j2__nEZo Day 2. The footprint of Stockholm+50: What brought us here and what could the conference bring? Since the first international conference on human environment in Stockholm in 1972, we have seen five decades of increasing planetary concerns, but also achievements, from the Rio Declaration to the Paris Agreement. Whilst the status of our environment has deteriorated into what is now referred to as a triple planetary crisis of climate, biodiversity loss and pollution, the character of the international dialogue has also changed. The tone has sharpened to the point where the very survival of humanity is in question. Against the historical backdrop of deterioration of the natural habitat, and the successes and set-backs of previous climate conferences this session asks: What are countries and the UN system doing now to speed up progress? With: - Matilda Ernkrans, Sweden’s Minister for International Development Cooperation - Achim Steiner, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme - Jan Mårtenson, Swedish Ambassador and Secretary-General of the Swedish National Committee for the Stockholm-Conference 1972 Moderator: - Isabella Lövin, Chair of the Stockholm Environment Institute Board https://youtu.be/l25pIWSW3rw Day 3. The unequal impact of climate change Scientists have long sounded the alarm that climate change will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, including women, children, ethnic minorities, poor communities and migrants. The effects of climate change could push 130 million people into poverty within the next ten years, widening the economic inequality, both within and between countries. As the gap between rich and poor is likely to deepen as climate disruptions continue, so are the opportunities for new generations to enjoy a healthy planet where they can live and prosper. A child born today in the Global North is twice as likely to experience extreme weather conditions than its grandparents, whilst a child in the Global South is three times more likely to experience extreme weather conditions than its grandparents. This session seeked to improve our understanding of the complex layers of climate inequality and the solutions that are being put in place for a just and sustainable future for all. With: - Allison Matthews, Head of Minecraft Education - Cassie Flynn, UNDP Strategic Advisor on Climate Change - Boaz Paldi, UNDP Global Partnerships and Engagement Manager - Natalie Mangondo, Youth Fellow in Finance with the UN Climate Change High Level Champions Team - Daniel Calarco, Founder of the International Youth Watch and global ambassador of the Generation 17 Program of UNDP Moderators: - Isabella Lövin, Chair of the Stockholm Environment Institute Board - Clara Henry, Swedish actress, blogger, comedian, television presenter and author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFZT-hOrkq8 Day 4: The growing field of climate innovation: What will the future bring? The need for transformative and collaborative innovation to drive the world towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions is more important than ever. The good news is that an increasing number of creative minds, innovators, investors, and companies are getting involved in climate innovation, and the commitment appears to grow with the increasing concern for our planet. Thousands of companies have made public commitments to net-zero emissions and new types of funding mechanisms have emerged. Organizations and leaders, on both international and national levels, are pursuing net-zero pathways and increasing investments in green jobs, adaptation, just transition, climate finance, circular economy and more. What solutions are currently being implemented and what impact can we realistically expect from the growing field of climate innovation? With: - Peter Fiekowsky, Physicist and Engineer, author of the book “Climate Restoration – the Only Future that will Sustain the Human Race” - Lisen Oliw, Head of Nordics at Norrsken - Kewmars Kazemzadeh, Founder of Flexpenser - Cecilia Repinski, CEO and Founder of Green Assets Wallet - Joshua Amponsem, Green Africa Youth Organization - Máximo Mazzocco, Founder and Managing Director of Eco House Global Moderators: - Victor Galaz, Deputy Director at the Stockholm Resilience Centre - Clara Henry, Swedish actress, blogger, comedian, television presenter and author https://youtu.be/-YtnRuVolj4 Day 5: Young voices at the forefront of climate action Climate change impacts everyone, but the future belongs to young people. As the grip of climate change tightens, young people are leading efforts to change the future by demanding climate action from their governments. The demands from young people get louder and youth-led action on climate change is growing strong across the globe. Whether through education, activism, innovation, science or technology, young people are scaling up their efforts and using their skills to accelerate climate action. So, from a youth perspective: How do we move forward? And how can we ensure that the voices of young people are heard and acted upon? With: - Johanna Lissinger Peitz, Stockholm+50 Ambassador and Senior Advisor at the Ministry of the Environment/the Swedish Government Offices - Juan Pablo Celis Garcia, UNEP Youth Programme Coordinator - Beniam Gebrezghi, Program Specialist Civil Society & Youth, Asia Regional Hub, UNDP - Archana Soreng, Environmental Activist, member of the Secretary General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate - Isabelle Axelsson, Environmental Activist, Fridays for Future - Máximo Mazzocco, Founder and Managing Director of Eco House Global - Natalie Mangondo, Youth Fellow in Finance with the UN Climate Change High Level Champions Team Moderator: - Clara Henry, Swedish actress, comedian, television presenter and author - Music performance by Sarah Klang https://youtu.be/QXxrICpJwto?t=1 ABOUT STHLM+50 CLIMATE HUB 50 years after the very first UN Environment Conference, placing nature and poverty at the forefront of the international agenda, Stockholm welcomed the world again in June 2022. Together with partners, We Don'tHave Time and UNDP hosted a public arena for the entire week of Stockholm+50, leading up to World Environment Day 2022.

Climate change effects is becoming more dramatic, impactful with it's negative effects drastically manifesting on agriculture. Farming among the sub Saharan farmers is becoming more difficult with unpredictable yield caused by rainfall unpredictability. Cashew fruit production dropped drastically between 2021 and 2022 Cashew fruit production. Small holder farmers noted it, but non showed passion to their plight. Farmers in some Southwest states and other areas noted the condition. Quick appraisal may be necessary to create a template to close the gap. Worrisome enough tree planting is treated with neglect and reckless abandonment by individuals. UNDP effort is highly commendable anyway !!

Happy world environment Day to every one! Huge thanks to #UNDP for each hour you share your insights to us in this incredible week of #StockholPlus50 at our hub in #Wedonthavetime. Engaging youths in this dialogue is an eye opener to many and what is clear is that young people need to be engaged at every step of the process in a discussion...it gives hope and courage. As If the solutions to the climate crisis exist, why do we see a lack of action? Great question from Johanna Lissinger Peitz we all need togetherness to achieve this and more engagement from all members of our earth as we all all have one earth. Let's keep up spirit as we look up toward #cop27. Well-done undp and may the parting shot of every speaker reach out to every policy makers and to all leaders of all countries to #Act and realize we only have #OneEarth. Follow Program here-:) https://www.wedonthavetime.org/events/sthlm50 #WorldEnvironmentDay

Pakistan’s facing heat waves and rising temperature affected the most. As per report 3000 new lakes emerged in province of KPK and Gilgit Baltistan. There are 33 lakes which are more dangerous and anytime they could be the cause of Flood. Glacier are melting day by day. Despite the massive plantation across the country we couldn’t control the temperature. Other measures must be taken to save the world. We must take action otherwise we all will suffer.

Last year, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched a digital campaign called Dear World Leaders, where people from all over the world were invited to send a video message to our world leaders about how climate change affects their daily lives, and what they want to see in terms of climate policy. Thousands of videos were submitted and presented to our world leaders during COP26, where select contributions were also highlighted on We Don't Have Time's broadcast, for millions of viewers. Now, the campaign is nominated to a Webby - the leading international award for internet activities - in the category of Activism. The nomination is a sign that climate activism is becoming much more influential, and if they win it will make it even clearer that we need to talk more about our climate crisis. Vote for Dear World Leaders before April 29th using this link: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2022/websites-and-mobile-sites/general-websites-and-mobile-sites/activism

The mere sight of plastic waste choking waterways across Monrovia and littering beaches is an eyesore that evokes an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. However, not all hope is lost as a number of waste management and recycling businesses, with support from UNDP, tap into this massive resource to expand and re-imagine their businesses, while creating jobs and averting air pollution from carbon dioxide emissions associated with the burning of waste plastic. The Monrovia-based waste management company, Hysaa Liberia Inc., which used to collect and dispose waste at a landfill, received a grant from UNDP Liberia’s Livelihood and Employment Creation Programme to expand its collection, and begin sorting out plastic bottles (PET) for processing into recyclable flakes in August 2021. https://www.lr.undp.org/content/liberia/en/home/presscenter/articles/2022/businesses-create-employment-from-plastic-waste-and-avert-co2-em.html

𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗢 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗘: 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢 𝗪𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗕𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗟 𝗙𝗨𝗘𝗟𝗦? Congrats to We Don't Have Time and UNDP for launching this new broadcast series next week. We're excited & proud to announce that we're the tech partner and sponsor of the new Dino Talks by We Don't Have Time and UNDP! 🦖 The first episode in a series of 10 in-depth table talks on the subject of #fossilfuel subsidies, will be presented on March 14th. Register for free via the link in the 1st comment. ♻ We are glad we can support this broadcast series and show that sustainability and action is core to what we do here. 💲 According to the International Monetary Fund, 11 MUSD/minute is spent on fossil fuel subsidies. We are heading towards a climate disaster, so why do we still subsidize the mayor cause of this disaster? 🛢 In the first episode, hosted by Nicholas Nuttall & Boaz Paldi, we discuss the impacts of fossil fuel subsidies, and look at what the money could be spent on instead, hearing from high-level speakers about the global situation and the opportunities that lies ahead if we bring them to a close. 👥 The first guests are: Ploy Achakulwisut, Scientist at the Stockholm Environmental Institute and George Gray Molina, Head of Strategic Policy Engagement and Chief Economist at #UNDP. Thank you for letting us be part of this important new broadcast series! Eventhough, this Climate Love is for UNDP (function let's us only choose one), it really should be going out to both, We Don't Have Time AND UNDP. Your #TeamPC
