January 2023 | News and Updates on National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Processes Hello NAP Global Network Members! NEW THIS MONTH -------------------------------------------------------- Explore the Government of Eswatini?s adaptation outreach programme through photos, case studies, and key findings. Under the programme, the Eswatini NAP task team organized awareness-raising workshops in the country?s four regions and documented communities? Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge on climate change to inform the NAP process. More details in a new briefing note. Haiti submitted its NAP to the UNFCCC in early January. ?Even though the situation in the country remains uncertain, we have to move ahead with the activities set out in Haiti?s National Adaptation Plan process,? said Gerty Pierre, Climate Change Director, Ministry of Environment, Haiti. A recent briefing note identifies the roles of key stakeholders in implementing Haiti?s NAP. The first progress review of the implementation of Kenya?s NAP 2015?2030 highlights positive outcomes in the agriculture sector, including initiatives to promote Indigenous Knowledge about crops and efforts to strengthen land management systems to help the livestock sector adapt. This report features 15 photos that Kenyan women captured through the Envisioning Resilience initiative to inform decisions in the NAP process with visual stories depicting Indigenous Knowledge and gender-based climate impacts and solutions. Liberia has developed a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for their NAP. Liberia launched its first NAP in late 2021, and the MEL framework?which includes objectives, required institutional arrangements, and a 3-year work plan?will help the country track progress. Congratulations to Bosnia and Herzegovina for submitting its NAP to the UNFCCC. Our Country Support Hub page presents the short-term technical support that the NAP Global Network Secretariat team has provided to developing countries? NAP processes.

Closing the campaign | Recording & slides | Invite to celebrate in Brussels | Thank you! Dear all, Thank you very much for attending the #Together4Forests closing webinar earlier this month. It was nice to see so many of you and celebrate together! For those of you who have missed it, you can find the recording here and consult the updated slides here. Do check out the celebratory YouTube video as technology did not allow us to play it during the webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l3tO4PkL10 Phasing out As we mentioned in the webinar, we did something big together, with you. We?re now phasing out the campaign and will shift more into day to day work - so it?s not done yet A big thank you to all of you for your tireless efforts and great enthusiasm! We had an amazing journey with you and obtained something impactful together. Read more below? Policy update - phasing in? After the publication of the text of the final agreement on 21 December '22 and the vote in the Envi Committee in January '23, everybody is waiting for the law to enter into force. It looks like the text could be voted on in the European Parliament plenary on 30 March (to be confirmed). Then it would still need the agreement of the Council and translation. The European Commission thinks that the legislation could enter into force in April/May/June 2023 (nope, they were not more precise). If that is the case, the legislation will apply to companies by Q3 or Q4 in 2024 and for micro-and small companies somewhere in the beginning of 2025. And last but not least? Invitation! If you happen to be in Brussels on Tuesday 7 March, please come and celebrate with us! After more than 2 years of hard work, the #Together4Forests core coalition would like to invite you to a closed-door evening event to celebrate the historic agreement for a new regulation on deforestation-free products. This informal event will bring together different stakeholders who have contributed to making this law a reality, including EU officials, MEPs, scientists, and NGOs. The invite-only event will be held from 18:30 to 22:00 on Tuesday, 7 March 2023 at the WWF European Policy Office, 123 Rue du Commerce,1000 Brussels, Belgium.

RWA Group / Green Partners email: saltanat at rwagroup.net tel.: +996 556 116 116 ------------- ENG Dear Madam / Sir, We are pleased to invite you to the online stakeholder workshop ?Natural Capital Valuation Assessment for the Aral Sea Region in Kazakhstan?, organized by Arcadis and partners on behalf of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The recently developed Natural Capital Valuation (NCV) Model is currently being applied to the Aral Sea region in Kazakhstan. The model offers a landscape-level approach for translating natural capital impacts and dependencies into nature-related risks and opportunities. A particular focus is on identifying sustainable nature-related investment opportunities. The model enables better informed decision-making and risk management. The workshop aims to bring together a wide range of stakeholders and other interested parties to (1) inform about the context of the project and related findings of the NCV model and (2) validate these findings during a moderated discussion with all participants. The workshop will be organized on Wednesday 15 February 2023, between 15:00 ? 17:00 (Almaty time) / 10:00 ? 12:00 (CET) via the Zoom platform. You are kindly requested to register your participation in advance via https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85490354760?pwd=UGg4YkRoRVJmS1FEREF6K0hESW0zZz09 For further information about registering for the workshop, as well as the scope, agenda, and speakers for the event, please consult the invitation attached to this email.

The decision had me smiling. It also got me thinking about just what it takes for activists keep on keeping on during these protracted battles. The Pebble mine was first proposed in 2002 ? when I was a senior in high school. So much has changed in the intervening years. Here in the United States, we have cycled through four presidents. Social media has fundamentally changed how we share and consume information. The US Capitol has been attacked by those wishing to overthrow our government, and a global pandemic has brought widespread suffering. Through all that, and so much more, those on the ground in Bristol Bay have kept their eyes on the ball. They?ve organized community members, built coalitions, and launched national campaigns to halt the mine. They?ve celebrated victories and moved past losses. They?ve welcomed young activists into their fold and helped build the next generation of movement leaders. And following this latest victory, they?ve already made clear that they won?t stop fighting until the project is finally and truly dead. I wish the win had come sooner; that it hadn?t taken so many people so many hours to help us arrive at this watershed moment. And I know that the mine could yet come back to life: The company behind it could appeal the decision, for example, or future administrations could try to backtrack. But for now, more than anything, I?m in awe of those who have kept up this fight for so many years. And I hope they are relishing in this moment of light.

Fossil Fuels Are a Death Sentence. Wyoming Wants to Make Them Mandatory. Sign Now Climate scientists are sounding the alarm on the potentially irreversible, catastrophic consequences of continuing to rely on fossil fuels. Yet state lawmakers in Wyoming are considering banning electric vehicles -- a technology that would help us significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is no secret that gas-guzzling cars are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, which are fueling an already-devastating climate crisis. But that didn't stop six state legislators from pushing to ban electric vehicles. The state legislature is trying to make electric vehicle sales illegal by 2035. This is a cheap political stunt to save the dying dirty energy industry. We need to be embracing new technologies that will help the Earth, not doubling down on destructive oil and gas usage. Sign the petition to demand Wyoming legislators vote no on this irresponsible, regressive, and environmentally devastating proposal! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Wyoming state lawmakers want to ban electric vehicles, forcing residents to rely on climate-destabilizing fossil fuels even more. Sign the petition.

The U.S. must ban them, too. Glue Traps Slowly Murder Animals As They Starve or Suffocate. Ban Them Now! Sign Now Glue traps are a popular way to stop mice and other animals from visiting humans' homes. But they're also incredibly cruel and cause slow, terrible deaths for small animals. That's why the UK government chose to ban glue traps for mice and rats last year. Now the U.S. government must ban glue traps, too! The flat, sticky boards are covered in a glue so strong, it holds fast against animals' skin and fur the moment, preventing them from escaping. Desperate and frightened, the animals can't move. Instead, they're forced to just lie there, enduring agony until they die, usually by slowly suffocating or starving to death. There are so many other, more humane ways to handle unwanted visitors - including deterrence. There's no reason to subject sentient creatures to this type of torment.

The next 72 hours are critical for rescue efforts -- but while a massive rescue operation is underway in Turkey? in war-torn Syria it's a totally different situation. After a decade of all-out war, millions are almost completely cut off from international aid, and hospitals are thoroughly devastated.

The Government Should Fund It. Sign Now It's here: the healthy, Earth-healing, animal-friendly, compassionate alternative to meat. And it's mushrooms. Multiple companies are "sprouting" up that utilize the unique qualities of different mushrooms, turning them into meat-free alternatives. Mushroom-based meat is even poised to turn cruel factory farming on its head with huge plant-based 'Ranches.' From imitating steaks and bacon, to reducing greenhouse gas build-ups, mushroom farms can do it all. Well, almost. What mushroom ranches don't do? They don't shove living, breathing beings into small boxes, rip them away from family, stuff them full of dubious-quality food sources, deprive them of natural sunlight and wind, and butcher them just to satisfy human taste buds. On top of that, mushroom farms will help fight climate change. Animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the world. By contrast, mushrooms suck carbon out of the atmosphere, making our world safer and healthier. Factory farming is out. Mushrooms are in.

The film has been shown in France, Germany and Brazil. Also featured is physicist Anastassia Makarieva of the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute in Russia, who, with the late Victor Gorshkov, first came up with the concept of the biotic pump, an active function of forests. Increasingly, Nobre?s work on the Amazon is informed by this theory. For example, in a 2014 report, ?The Future Climate of Amazonia,? a tour-de-force of explanatory science, Nobre describes how this ?green ocean? not only creates its own rain but moves moisture across the continent via aerial rivers. Lately, he has collaborated on scientific papers with Makarieva and other biotic pump researchers. https://news.mongabay.com/2023/02/forest-modeling-misses-the-water-for-the-carbon-qa-with-antonio-nobre-anastassia-makarieva/ -- ?? ???????? ??? ?????????, ????????? ????????? ?? ??????

Google ????????? ??? ????????? ??? ?????: Freedom for women activists in Kyrgyzstan! ??????? ????????-?????????? ???????????! We, empathic citizens and representatives of international public organizations from all over the world, we appeal with the support of the detained women activists of Kyrgyzstan. Women activists and public figures Klara Sooronkulova, Asiya Sasykbayeva, Gulnara Dzhurabaeva, Rita Karasartova, Perizat Suranova were detained on trumped-up charges of plotting a violent takeover of power in October 2022. We are concerned that they have been in detention for more than 100 days. Each of them contributed to the development of civil society, defended human rights and public interests. Women activists were detained after a meeting of the Committee for the Protection of Kempir-Abad (a reservoir in the Kyrgyz Republic), where they spoke exclusively about a peaceful rally. A peaceful rally is non-violent and non-armed in nature. State bodies are obliged to respect and ensure the right to freedom of peaceful assembly without any distinction on the basis of religion, political or other opinions, any circumstances, and not interfere with the achievement of the goals of the assembly. We support women activists, political prisoners in Kyrgyzstan. We are witnessing events in Kyrgyzstan, and such actions of the authorities undermine and damage the image of the country in the international community. In the current situation, an urgent consensus and dialogue between the government and civil society is needed. We're concerned about that they have placed the level "secret" to the process of investigation of their case. This prevents the public from following the progress of the investigation. We call for an end to political persecution, ensure the rights of accused citizens and release women activists!

Land Rights News Newsletter #1 Photo Credit: Pablo Tosco / Oxfam Interm?n. Welcome to Land Rights Now In 2016, a coalition of human rights organizations set forth a shared vision: to take action in solidarity with Indigenous and local communities struggling to secure land rights everywhere. The Land Rights Now campaign emerged from that call to action. During the past six years, hundreds of organizations and supporters joined our movement and showed their commitment and solidarity with land and environmental defenders all over the world. In 2022, Land Rights Now worked with Indigenous and local communities to fight land grabbing, the climate crisis, and the criminalization of environmental defenders. We forged new partnerships, gave visibility to land insecurity, and brought our campaign to global forums in pursuit of stronger protections for Indigenous and collectively managed lands. As we look to the year ahead, Land Rights Now is thrilled to announce the launch of our monthly newsletter. We believe that a newsletter will allow us to better connect with all of you and invite new interest in this pressing issue. Read on to learn about our efforts in 2022 and how your support made a difference! We hope you will continue to stand with us to #DefendtheDefenders during the coming year.

Message-ID: Dolphins have to scream at each other to be heard. Human Noise Pollution in Oceans is Forcing Dolphins to Shout at Each Other Sign Now Scientists and wildlife advocates have long speculated that human-induced noise pollution in oceans massively impacts marine life. A new study confirms these fears. Researchers found that noise pollution has gotten so bad, dolphins now need to "shout" at one another to communicate in their native habitats. Offshore drilling is likely a huge contributor to this. But so far, there's been limited research into the impacts of these industrial processes on beloved wildlife. Loud, industrial noises in ocean waters could also impact feeding, mating, and even migration patterns for already threatened marine mammals like dolphins. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is legally bound to protect dolphins and whales under the Marine Mammals Protection Act.

Some of the environmental consequences of Russia's military intervention in Ukraine are talked about often and loudly. Others go unnoticed, but in the long run, those can be much more dangerous, for example, the introduction of invasive species in occupied territories. Taking advantage of ecosystems destroyed and disturbed by shelling and combat and with no natural enemies, the ?aliens? species quickly capture territories, creating springboards for their further spread. Thus, the war is not only military in nature, but also biological. Read about this invasion in an article by Natalia Pashkevich, PhD in Biology and senior researcher at the Department of Geobotany and Ecology at the Institute of Botany (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine). a.. Invasive species and Russia?s full-scale invasion of Ukraine Today, data has already begun to be collected on the environmental impacts of the military invasion. Unfortunately, significant territories of Ukraine are still under occupation. The first expeditions to study these impacts specifically on protected areas occurred September-December last year. Katerina Polyanska of the NGO "Environment. People. Law" participated in several such expeditions and shared her observations of the aftermath of retreating Russian troops on national parks with UWEC Work Group. a.. Impact of Military Action on Ukraine?s Wild Nature In November, media published the shocking news of the Russian soldiers stringing up hamsters. Small mammals are at particular risk during the invasion, and a number of these species are listed in Ukraine?s Red Book for at-risk species. At the same time, most of the hostilities are occurring in eastern Ukraine, on steppe landscapes, a unique and important biotope home to numerous rare rodent species. Mikhail Rusin, a researcher at the Kyiv Zoo and the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, writes about what is happening to small mammals in Ukraine today and the threats posed by the large-scale invasion. a.. Threats of Russian invasion for protected small mammals in Ukraine With numerous recent deaths, Caspian seals are also being called victims of the war. In November 2022 more than 2,000 individual seals were found dead on the shorelines of Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan in the Black and Azov Seas. Our expert Eugene Simonov assembled the most common explanations and concluded that, if not directly, then at least indirectly, the war is decreasing chances of survival of these unique marine mammals. As with many other environmental processes in Russia, environmental conservation activities in the northern Caspian Sea have been put on hold due to the invasion. a.. Seals: Victims of war, greenhouse gasses, or asphyxiation caused by commercial fishing? Another rare species endangered by Russia's militaristic ambitions is the polar bear. Opening protected area to military exercises on Wrangel Island are threatening to destroy critical habitat for this species. The island serves as the world's largest natural nursery for young polar bears. Eugene Simonov examines this situation more closely. a.. Polar Bear vs. Military Monsters The environmental consequences of the invasion of Ukraine are being discussed around the world, including at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Although the war has yet to become a key issue at such events, it is clear that leaders are keeping it in mind when discussing economics. We live in times of interconnected global crises, including climate change. Guest writer Vera Kuzmina writes about how both military conflicts and direct lobbying for fossil fuels only create additional problems for the planet and humanity. a.. Results of Davos: Arms and Climate We continue to track the war?s environmental consequences on our Website, Twitter, and Facebook. Wishing you strength and peace!

You can subscribe using this link Climate chronicle of the war European Union bans Russian diesel, oil products over Ukraine Europe has imposed a ban on Russian diesel fuel and other refined oil products, slashing energy dependency on Moscow and seeking to further crimp the Kremlin?s fossil fuel earnings as punishment for invading Ukraine. Sunday?s ban comes along with a price cap agreed by the Group of Seven (G7) allied countries ? the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada. The goal is allowing Russian diesel to keep flowing to countries such as China and India and avoiding a sudden price rise that would hurt consumers worldwide while reducing the profits funding Moscow?s budget and war. Open Letter from NGOs concerning green recovery of Ukraine within the EU accession process In response to electricity shortages, Ukrainian government and its international partners have focused their efforts on finding emergency solutions. Although generators that use fossil fuels have become a suitable quick fix, they are not sustainable from a long-term perspective, while supply of renewable energy equipment and financial support to scale up renewable energy production in Ukrainian communities and cities would provide a resilient source of energy for years to come. The draft Ukraine?s Recovery Plan presented by the Ukrainian authorities in July 2022 in Lugano consisted of controversial projects such as, for example, the construction of small modular nuclear reactors; the promotion of the use of peat and wood as ?green? fuel at new power plants; plus forestry, agriculture and hydropower projects that may lead to the destruction of natural ecosystems. Putin has ?lost the energy war?, top trader claims as he ends bets on high gas price Russian president Vladimir Putin has ?lost the energy war? and the worst of the European gas and power crisis has passed, according to Pierre Andurand, one of the world?s top-performing traders in the sector. Andurand, whose energy focused hedge funds have enjoyed three bumper years of returns during the coronavirus pandemic, said he had closed out all his positions in natural gas markets because last year?s price surge to record levels was unlikely to be repeated, with Europe learning rapidly to live without Russian gas. Deep cuts to Russian gas exports in retaliation for western support for Ukraine drove the European benchmark price above ?300 a megawatt hour in August, more than 10 times its normal level. Renewables and nuclear are nearing a ?tipping point? and will make up more than 90% of new electricity demand in the next two years, IEA says Russia?s invasion of Ukraine in February and a global energy crisis sparked fears that clean energy and net-zero emission targets were being scrapped in the name of energy security. But as it turns out, the spike in fossil fuel use was just a blip, as the next few years are set to see low-carbon energy sources generate a record share of the world?s electricity. Heat Pump and Solar Power Plant?? Outpatient Clinic in the Kyiv Region Has Become an Example of Green Reconstruction In the outpatient clinic of the village of Horenka, in the Kyiv region, a ground-water heat pump and a solar power plant were put into operation. This is the first medical facility in the area where such an energy-efficient system is installed, and it should become an example of green reconstruction of the country. The rebuilding of the heating system according to the principles of green reconstruction will make it possible to increase the energy efficiency of the outpatient clinic, reduce CO2 emissions and the negative impact on the environment, as well as reduce heating costs by 80 % (almost a quarter of a million UAH per year). Due to the solar plant, the hospital will become an electricity producer and can cover up to 60 % of its needs. Britain?s biggest gas supplier accused of ?profiteering? from energy crisis Britain?s biggest gas supplier, the Norwegian state-owned oil company Equinor, has been accused of ?profiteering? from the energy crisis and higher household bills after posting record annual earnings of ?62bn. The oil and gas producer said on Wednesday that adjusted profits hit $15.1bn (?12.5bn) in the final three months of last year, bringing total annual profits to $74.9bn, the highest in its 51-year history. France?s largest oil and gas company, TotalEnergies, one of the biggest operators in the North Sea, also reported record annual profits. Its adjusted earnings hit $36bn and it said it would buy back a further $2bn of its own shares. Europe's spend on energy crisis nears 800 billion euros European countries' bill to shield households and companies from soaring energy costs has climbed to nearly 800 billion euros, researchers said on Monday, urging countries to be more targeted in their spending to tackle the energy crisis. European Union countries have now earmarked or allocated 681 billion euros in energy crisis speding, while Britain allocated 103 billion euros and Norway 8.1 billon euros since September 2021, according to the analysis by think-tank Bruegel. The 792-billion-euro total compares with 706 billion euros in Bruegel's last assessment in November, as countries continue through winter to face the fallout from Russia cutting off most of its gas deliveries to Europe in 2022. Regional and world news A lawyer from Kyrgyzstan reported Government to the General Prosecutor?s Office A lawyer from Bishkek, Ikramidin Aitkulov broke the silence on the 8th of February this year and filed a complaint to the General Prosecutor?s Office on the work of some Government organizations and Bishkek Power Station. The reason for his complaint was a heart attack he?d had in December 2020, with the subsequent operation and health complications. The lawyer blamed Bishkek Power Station for the deterioration of his health and demanded to open several criminal cases against the institution. Now, time will show whether the General Prosecutor?s Office starts an investigation with the requirement of lawyer Aitkulov. The response to the official appeal should be sent by February 20. Until then, Aitkulov is gathering signatures in support of his appeal. As Uzbekistan freezes, is it exporting valuable gas to China ? or not? As Uzbekistan freezes amid rampant power shortages in its coldest winter for half a century, there is a million dollar question on the lips of its shivering citizens. Is the government exporting gas that could be powering heating plants and pumping warmth into people?s homes? Officials are adamant that Tashkent is not sending the valuable commodity abroad. ?All exports of gas, including exports to China, have been 100 percent halted,? Behzot Narmatov, head of the Uztransgaz transportation company, stated last month, when public outrage over power outages soared as Arctic temperatures gripped Uzbekistan. Call for Applications: training course for young Central Asian women in renewable energy To help young Central Asian women kick-start careers in the sustainable energy sector, the OSCE is organizing a 5-day intensive training course on renewable energy for young women from Central Asia who specialize in energy. This training course is being implemented in partnership with the Kazakh-German University (DKU) within the framework of the OSCE Initiative Empowering Young Central Asian Women in the Energy Transition | OSCE. The course will: increase participants? knowledge of green energy technologies, renewable energy and energy efficiency;provide practical insights into the clean energy sector through an onsite visit to a renewable energy facility in Kazakhstan; expand participants? access to industry experts and potential employers. Azerbaijan: Baku's vanishing vegetation The Baku Botanical Garden, one of the city's last bastions of thriving plant life, is under renovation, and leaked images of the proposed plans have highlighted how the Azerbaijani capital's green space is dwindling. In January, Azerbaijani media published images of projections for Baku's Central Botanical Garden, which closed for renovation in November 2022. The plans, reportedly drawn up by Baku-based MB Architects, depict new buildings and pedestrian overpasses, as well as a parking lot. The company also designed Nizami Ganjavi Park and Chambarakand Park in Baku in similar styles. Millions face threat of flooding from glacial lakes Up to 15 million people face risk of catastrophic flooding from glacial lakes which could burst their natural dams at any moment, a new study finds. The study led by Newcastle University is the first global attempt to map potential hotspots for such floods. As the climate warms, glaciers retreat and meltwater collects, forming lakes. The impact of global warming on glacial lake floods is yet to be defined, but it has increased both the volume and number of glacial lakes worldwide. The study published in the journal Nature Communications assessed the conditions of lakes and the number of people living downstream from them, which has also increased significantly. Europe?s climate in data: Everything from heatwaves to the cost of disaster Climate change is impacting all parts of our lives, from the way we power our homes to the heat waves that grip our cities in summer. Tracking these changes paints a picture of the effect our changing planet is having on people across Europe. It also shows where countries are getting it right when it comes to mitigating our impact - and where improvements are urgently needed. But some places are heating up faster than others. Between 2012 and 2021, average global temperatures were 1.11 to 1.14 ?C warmer than in pre-industrial times. UN budget cuts hindered response to Pakistan?s extreme floods Six months on from the start of devastating floods in Pakistan, about 200,000 people are still displaced ? living under tarpaulins by the side of the road. As summer turned to winter, some parts of the country have seen snow. ?For children and old age people without shelter, it?s terrible,? said Concern Worldwide?s Sherzada Khan. Young women and girls are still ?forced to live without roof and walls,? he added, putting them at risk of sexual assault. On top of this, he said ?[a] severe food security crisis [is] looming now and will be there until the next harvest?. Web site Facebook Telegram Twitter Instagram Copyright ? All rights reserved.

Residents Feel Sick and Pets Are Dying After the Ohio Toxic Train Derailment Sign Now A few weeks ago, a Norfolk Southern freight train was carrying hazardous chemicals near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Then, it derailed and caught fire. The spill of chemicals seeped into the earth, air, and water. Locals have reported feeling sick, and many pets in the affected area have died. Norfolk Southern could have prevented this crash, but instead, chose to take shortcuts, resulting in the toxic chemical spill that caught fire and turned into hydrochloric acid. Even short exposure to hydrochloric acid can lead to blindness, severe burns, and internal damage. And now, it's in the air and water in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It's still unclear exactly what the lasting effects of the spill could be, but some scientists say that the impact of the spill could potentially be felt for years. Sign the petition to demand Norfolk Southern set up and fund healthcare and monitoring for residents affected by the train crash! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

I?m writing with an urgent request from a Story of Stuff Project grassroots partner in Eastern Ohio, part of the larger Ohio River Valley region increasingly dubbed ?Cancer Valley? because of the growing petrochemical development concentrated in the area. As you may have heard, just over a week ago a 50-car Norfolk Southern Railroad train loaded with poisonous vinyl chloride ? a known human carcinogen and precursor to the plastic PVC ? derailed in East Palestine, OH, unleashing a fire and explosions that rocked the small village. Days later, in an attempt to prevent a further catastrophic explosion and the uncontrolled release of killer gasses from the train, authorities ?vented? the vinyl chloride from multiple cars and allowed it to burn, sending a giant plume of toxic smoke into the air. Today, while residents have been told it is safe to return, much remains unknown, including whether the air and water are dangerous to their health. This is an ecological & health disaster, and it's coming straight from plastic production. We?ve pledged $10,000 from our Grassroots Grants Fund to support local groups responding to the crisis. Will you help us double that pledge? Will you help us double our pledge with a contribution today? Despite reports of dying fish and animals emerging in recent days, officials say their monitoring has turned up nothing concerning. In the meantime, we?ve heard that the railroad is offering payouts to evacuees in exchange for releases of liability. One Break Free from Plastic partner organization, River Valley Organizing, had warned about the dangers posed by petrochemical ?bomb trains? barreling through their communities for nearly a decade. Now, River Valley Organizing and other local groups are mobilizing the community to fight back, get legal representation, empower civic action, and build sustainable autonomy and justice after this disaster. And they need our help. Your contribution will immediately be put to use: Organizers have already begun to canvass evacuation shelters, reimbursement lines and other gathering spots to connect with local residents and assess their needs. They?re also planning a large community meeting to share what they know and gather additional testimonials. What is already clear is there is a dire need for legal assistance, ongoing independent air and water monitoring and efforts to hold both the Railroad and government accountable. Last year, our Grassroots Grants program provided $100,000 in support to small groups on the frontlines of the battle against plastic pollution and other environmental threats. Over the last two years, your response to emergency appeals like this enabled us to lift up groups affected by Hurricane Ida and to ensure New York City?s canners could secure a permanent and safe recycling center. Will you help us double our emergency aid to the residents of East Palestine? Now, we?ve pledged $10,000 from the Grassroots Grants fund to groups like River Valley Organizing, and with your generous support we hope to send even more. Thanks for your consideration and continued support. In Solidarity, Michael O'Heaney Executive Director The Story of Stuff Project runs on donations from people like you.

Where the money will come from remains a hot topic of debate. What isn?t up for debate is the need to deploy it and fast. 3.6-3.9 billion people are already vulnerable to climate change. Last year, the 10 costliest extreme climate events each caused more than USD 3 billion in damages. The numbers speak for themselves. According to the World Economic Forum?s Global Risks Report 2023, in the short term (two years) three of the top five risks are all related to sustainability in the form of extreme weather, failure to mitigate climate change and finally erosion of social cohesion. Whilst in the long term (10 years), sustainability-related risks including climate, biodiversity and inequality, account for 8 of the top 10 risks. Speaking in Davos last month, Peter Bakker, CEO of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a CEO-led organization of more than 200 leading companies, said: ?Despite the uncertainties in the global economy, sustainability is now mainstream. Climate risks and the need for climate action are high on the agenda. An emerging view is that the solutions need to connect and cover the three big global challenges - Climate, Nature and Inequality, in a systemic and transformative way.? Launched two years ago, the Race to Resilience has been working to do just that. Led by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, it aims to mobilise the non-State actor (NSA) community to help build resilience for 4 billion people impacted by climate change by 2030. To date, the campaign has 39 partners, representing over 2,000 organisations, delivering action in 192 countries. Through this vast network, it helps the most vulnerable, frontline communities build resilience and adapt to the physical impacts of climate change, such as extreme heat, drought, flooding and sea-level rise, in rural, urban and coastal areas. Following the success of The UN Biodiversity COP (COP 15) in Montreal last year, which underscored the overlapping significance of the biodiversity and climate agenda, Race to Resilience is placing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) at its front and centre of a number of projects. Examples include, firstly combining mangrove replanting with breakwater building to protect 11 island villages in in the Philippines, and secondly introducing ?pocket parks? in Athens to provide shade during heat waves And finally enhancing the livelihoods of 1.5 million farming families across Africa through the restoration of 1.9 million hectares of degraded agricultural land. These are just a few examples of the tangible, positive impacts the Race to Resilience through its partners and members are having on communities? lives and livelihoods across the globe. Building on this implementation, the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda was launched by the COP 27 Presidency in collaboration with the High-Level Champions. It?s the first comprehensive global plan to rally both States and NSAs behind enhancing resilience for 4 billion people, from vulnerable groups and communities, by 2030.It sets out 30 global adaptation outcome targets across five impact areas: Food Security and Agriculture; Water and Nature; Human Settlements; Ocean and Coastal Systems and Infrastructure Systems. The Champions will seek this year to elevate this Agenda and showcase global progress to accelerate investments on adaptation and resilience. As Vivian Amasan, Community Leader of the Bagongon Fisherfolks Association in Concepcion, Philippines said: ?We did not have an appropriate plan in place to respond to the emergency of climate change as we were not actively engaged as a community. We?ve now achieved this through the participation of our members and community in the Race to Resilience and are more prepared to face the challenges of climate change.?

World Government Summit UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin and Her Excellency Ms. Razan Al Mubarak recently participated in the World Government Summit in Dubai. Speaking at the summit?s Women in Government Forum, Ms. Mubarak elevated the role female leadership can and must play in advancing us to a net zero, resilient and more equitable world. Together with esteemed colleagues in the climate arena, H.E. Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment of Egypt, and H.E. Khadeeja Naseem, Minister of State for Environment, Climate Change and Technology in Maldives, Ms. Al Mubarak discussed the need for prioritising women?s participation in the COP 28 process. Speaking at the event Ms. Al Mubarak said: ?I am incredibly proud to be one of the high calibre females we see coming out of the Arab region, not on the periphery but really leading negotiations and demonstrating the value of collaborative thinking, the values of empathy. Having women front and centre, leading these efforts is a recipe for success and we look to carry this over into COP 28.? Meanwhile, Dr. Mohieldin attended the Seventh Annual Arab Fiscal Forum hosted by the Arab Monetary Fund, International Monetary Fund and the UAE?s Ministry of Finance. The outcomes of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh were discussed, notably the launch of the Loss and Damage Fund and placing of adaptation at the centre of climate action with the launch of the Sharm El-Sheikh Adaptation Agenda. Dr. Mohieldin also discussed ways to enhance private sector funding for adaptation projects and emphasised the challenges currently facing developing countries in financing sustainable development given their increasing debt burdens. He also underscored the instrumental role COP27 played in advocating on behalf of the developing world at the Global Councils on SDGs: Climate and Partnerships session he attended alongside Ibrahim Al Zu'bi, Senior Vice President, Climate Change and Sustainability, ADNOC and Khawla AlMehairi, EVP of Strategy and Government Communication, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. On the road to COP28, he also called for the implementation of recommendations of the High-Level Expert Group on Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities and the full involvement of non-State actors in activities addressing loss & damage. Dr. Mohieldin also met with Francesco La Camera, Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to discuss bridging the renewable energy investment gap in developing countries. He also met with Lisa Kurbiel, Head of the Joint Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Fund to discuss impact driven solutions. Shoring up Nature-based solutions in East Africa Around the world, healthy ocean ecosystems - a key source of food and livelihoods for coastal communities and beyond, are under threat. Climate change and biodiversity loss have caused coastal erosion and that jeopardize the economic, social and environmental viability of coastal regions, particularly those in developing countries where the impacts are highest. To address this, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will partner with Mission Inclusion to reduce the physical and socio-economic vulnerability of East African coastal communities to the devastating effects of the climate crisis. The Regenerative Seascapes for People, Climate, and Nature project will be implemented in coastal and marine regions of the West Indian Ocean, in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar and the Comoros. The biodiversity degradation and fish stock depletion caused in large part by the climate crisis are major challenges for these communities. The project will directly benefit 350,000 people, including 225,000 women and 12,500 people in vulnerable and marginalized situations. At the recently held IMPAC5 (the 5th International Marine Protected Areas Congress), the Honourable Harjit Sajjan, Canada?s Minister of International Development, announced USD 30 million in government funding for the three-year project under the country?s Partnering for Climate program. IUCN will lead on delivering two of the project?s three major objectives - improving biodiversity conservation and implementing sustainable and effective management of marine protected areas. Mission inclusion will be responsible for the third objective, ensuring the economic empowerment of women in the blue economy. The organisation will work with local partners to build the skills of women and girls in blue entrepreneurship and strengthen the voice of women?s organizations and networks to ensure that their rights are better protected. The project is a significant contribution to the Great Blue Wall (GBW) initiative which aims to create a network of marine and coastal protected areas for the preservation of biodiversity and local livelihoods, involving local communities as stewards of the ocean. In Case You Missed It ? In a recent interview EU climate chief Frans Timmermans said the continent of Africa is probably going to be the most important partner for Europe in terms of developing the renewable energy sector. He said while Europe is growing its domestic renewable energy production, it will also need to look beyond its borders to secure the levels it needs. To help fill the gap the EU is looking to Africa, where there is a high potential for renewable energy production ? in particular solar power. ? Fewer than one in 200 companies who submit climate change-related data to CDP have a credible climate transition plan according to its latest review of corporate submissions. The data underlines the scale of the gap between company pledges to transition to net-zero carbon emissions and the detailed plans that show how a firm will align its entire business model to meeting those targets. ? The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) will lend Colombia USD 70m at a low interest rate so that it can invest in its transition from dirty to clean energy. The funds are aimed at infrastructure which helps get renewable electricity to communities and businesses including batteries to store renewable electricity, transmission lines to move it around and facilities to make green hydrogen with it. The money comes from a US 300m pot made up of one-off donations from the governments of the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Switzerland. ? Worldwide investment in the green energy transition amounted to USD 1.1 trillion in 2022, setting a new record according to a report by BloombergNEF. This represents a rapid acceleration from the year before as the energy crisis and policy action prompted faster deployment of low-carbon technologies. The report also states investment in low-carbon technologies appears to have reached parity with capital deployed in support of fossil fuel supply. Energy Transition Investment Trends is BNEF?s annual accounting of how much funding businesses, financial institutions, governments and end-users are committing to the low-carbon energy transition. ? Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres warned the world is at risk of exceeding the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5?C. He called for three game-changing climate action, halving global emissions this decade, promoting transition to renewables, and provide adequate finance for climate action. ? At Oslo Energy Forum, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell emphasized in his speech that there is incredible opportunity in the next ten months to make 2023 the pivot point for the energy transition, a definitive moment in what must be a decisive decade for climate action. For years, the world was told the difficulties of energy transition, yet precisely the opposite has occurred and global momentum for the global energy transition has been witnessed. ? While they may be competitors on the catwalk, several big-name brands are marching in lockstep to tackle climate change. UN Climate Change convened the members of the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action both in Bonn and virtually, which saw the attendance of about 100 representatives, amongst which LVMH, Nike, adidas, H&M Group, Inditex, Kering Group, GAP Inc. to define next steps in the decarbonization of the industry. The UNFCCC Executive Secretary participated with an opening remark commending the industry for choosing the path of collaboration, calling on it to do more, think systems and use their communications to win the hearts and minds of people. Over the two days, participants agreed to continue to work on 2030 transition plans, ramp up efforts on policy engagement and advocacy, work on mobilizing their supply chain and strengthen decarbonization efforts through collaborative action. ? UN Climate Change , Gold Standard and the Clean Cooking Alliance , among others, are working to harness the potential of carbon markets and build awareness for market-oriented solutions. More than 2.4 billion people around the world cook with polluting stoves and fuels. Clean cooking - for example using energy efficient stoves and solar energy - contributes in a major way to the health and well-being of poor communities by reducing indoor pollution and driving down fuel bills. It is also an essential part of the solution to climate change. Carbon markets represent a critical resource in support of clean cooking by helping to finance alternatives.

Dear friends of the rainforests, France is lobbying the EU to build new biomass power plants in French Guiana, a French overseas department in South America. One of the objectives of the proect is to provide cheap power to the European Space Center in Kourou. The planned source of the biomass? The Amazon rainforest ? and when the forest is gone, industrial tree and soybean plantations. This ostensibly green project is wrong on so many levels. But it's not too late. Please support our joint petition with local NGO Ma?ouri Nature Guyane. Tell the French government and the EU to call off this potentially disastrous project ? for the sake of the climate, biodiversity and the lives of local communities.

Fearing a potential explosion that could launch deadly shrapnel as far as a mile, officials evacuate the town and burn, yes burn, some of the chemicals instead, sending large, toxic plumes into the air. In five days, which is hardly enough time for a proper cleanup, residents are told: All good. Come on back. But, just in case, don?t drink water from local sources. When they return, they find the air still reeks of fumes. Their eyes smart and heads spin. Their animals fall ill and fish die by thousands in local waterways. If you?ve been following this unfolding public health disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, you?ll know that it?s playing out in the same old way such disasters always seem to play out. People are told not to worry much, but reliable information about the extent of damage done and risks posed is really hard to come by. Meanwhile the corporations responsible, one iteration or the other of the peterochemical industrial complex, offer crisis-management PR speak and try to shift blame as much as possible and state actors don?t do nearly enough to help those in harm?s way. As news reports have pointed out, this is the eighth major train derailment in the greater Pittsburgh region in the past five years, and the third derailment involving hazardous material in the country this month. Given the fossil fuel industry?s ongoing plastics buildout, including Shell?s new petrochemical complex in western Pennsylvania, the transport by rail of volatile chemicals is only going to ramp up in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. Which means the next big derailment probably isn?t far off. The incident reminds me of the 2015 Aliso Canyon gas storage facility blowout in Los Angeles that spewed out an oily mix of methane and other toxic compounds for 111 days on communities living downhill. Seven years after what?s been called the largest gas blowout in US history, tens of thousands of Angelenos are still living with the fallout, including illnesses that may be related to their toxic exposures, and are still seeking justice. I?m hoping the residents of East Palestine will be better taken care of, but so far, the evidence hasn?t been reassuring. All in all, this is a stark reminder of the great risk communities living on frontlines of petrochemical development face every day, one more reason why we should wean off of fossil fuels and their byproducts asap.

Such "commitments" mean the transfer of almost all major decarbonization measures for the period after 2030-2040, i.e. the transfer of responsibility for the consequences of climate change to the next governments, and all damages to the population. Despite the fact that international expertise has shown that the benefits only from improving the health of the country's population from replacing coal with renewable energy exceed all the losses associated with abandoning coal, and at the same time can reduce emissions by up to 40-50% by 2030.

Like all UN member states, Russia declared its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of the territory of a sovereign state, Ukraine, accompanied by the shelling of peaceful cities. The civil society Coalition for Sustainable Development of Russia (CSDR) has conducted an analysis of the implementation of the SDGs in Russia since February 2022, since the situation in the country changed dramatically due to the outbreak of aggression against Ukraine. In this report, CSDR has reviewed all the SDGs - from human right to climate change - describing what has changed in the implementation of each of the SDGs since February 24, 2022, and how these changes have affected Russia's international cooperation. We invite you and your colleagues to join the presentation of the report which will take place on March 1st, 2023 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the House of Democracy and Human Rights (Haus der Demokratie und Menschenrechte).

That's the choice these prisoners could face. Message-ID: <7CEB2A5B5707497BAAAA288A0572703C@lewpostnew> Shorter sentences should not come with the price tag of literal human body parts. Coercing Prisoners to Sell Their Organs for Freedom Is Horrific and Wrong. Sign Now Just when you thought the criminal justice system in the United States couldn't get any more inhumane, a proposed piece of legislation could make it worse. A terrifying new bill in Massachusetts would give prisoners shorter sentences - in exchange for organ or bone marrow donations. People who are incarcerated should not be forced to literally sell their body parts for freedom. The high number of people waiting for a medical organ transplant is not the fault of people behind bars, nor should we harvest their bodies as a solution. There are other ways to incentivize organ and blood marrow donations from civilians that do not involve coercing some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Sign the petition to demand the Massachusetts state legislature vote no on this dystopian bill! Lawmakers must find other ways to reduce prison sentences and incentivize organ donations. Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. People who are in prison deserve dignity, not a deal to sell part of themselves to get free. Sign the petition.

Sign the petition to demand the U.S. Forest Service use more humane methods to cull feral cattle! The process is as terrifying as it sounds: "helicopters cause cattle to run, forcing shooters to pepper cows with multiple rounds, some taking hours or days to die."

Why Are Louisiana Refineries Allowed to Poison the Water? Sign Now A recent study found that refineries in south Louisiana are some of the worst water-polluters in the country, pumping millions of gallons of toxic sludge into waterways and the Gulf of Mexico. The EPA could enforce existing water law and policy, like the Clean Water Act, but chooses not to - threatening the state's residents and environment. Sign now to tell the EPA to actually enforce the Clean Water Act in Louisiana! In the top refineries that pollute public waterways, eight facilities in Louisiana made the list, including the state's Marathon and ExxonMobil refineries.

Together with Geneva Health Forum, this has prompted us to extend our efforts to bridge the climate, biodiversity and health agendas and help establish a public-private dialogue beyond the health sector on how to prevent future pandemics. The recently released Global Risk Report emphasised gaps in resilience and the impact that global pandemic can have on the increased climate, environmental and social risks. At the same time, governments are calling for a stronger international framework that will allow dealing with future health crises in a more efficient, inclusive and transparent way. As a response to this call, the WHO is initiating the development of a comprehensive pandemic treaty to help build a global framework for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response on a national, regional and global level, planned to be presented at the 76th World Health Assembly. This year, we are hosting the inaugural World Resilience Summit ? Partnerships to Prevent Future Pandemics in collaboration with Geneva Health Forum on 24 May in Geneva, Switzerland alongside the 76th World Health Assembly, the main governing body for global health. It is an advocacy-based event of our upcoming World Health Network and will focus on prevention, preparedness and risk management measures complementing the pandemic treaty's implementation. The Summit will convene high-level stakeholders across government leaders, experts from multilateral organisations, academics, private sector experts, technology and project developers, representatives of international organisations and establish a Scientific Committee. The Commitee will be responsible for defining recommendations for prevention, preparedness and risk management actions against pandemics and other health security risks. After a day programme of panel and keynote sessions, the evening programme of the Summit will bring forward recommendations on the role of public-private partnerships in pandemic prevention and preparedness to high-level guests from government, permanent missions, WHO and other relevant thought leaders. World Health Network is a developing initiative by the World Climate Foundation. It will support public-private partnerships and plans of action to find solutions to prevent future pandemics. It engages stakeholders across public and private sectors to facilitate collective action for a globally coordinated response under a One Health approach. The cross-sectoral network will help guide adequate policies, innovations and investments in the prevention, preparedness and risk management of future pandemics. In 2023, the roadmap of World Health Network will include a combination of in-person and digital activities throughout the year that will focus on the economic and political aspects of climate and health in the context of globalisation.

Protect The Arctic Fox and Other Canid Populations! Sign Now The arctic fox is a beloved species, iconic for its crisp-white fur and impossibly cute face. And while this fox in particular is not endangered, five other closely related species in the canidae family are. Protecting these species is essential for entire ecosystems around the world - and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) should commit to continuing its conservation efforts! Canids play a vital role in the ecosystems they're a part of. That's why scientists have been working so hard to reintroduce species to the wild, to help maintain balance and healthy biodiversity. But like so many other mammals around the world, these animals are experiencing the stressors of a world rocked by climate change and other environmental crises. The vital progress that dedicated conservationists have made could quickly reverse if conservation organizations do not continue to prioritize Canid protection in the future.
