Subject: GRI April newsletter: Progress in corporate reporting on nature

                                Latest GRI news




                                View in browser









                                We are deepening our collaboration with the 
Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) to better support 
reporting on biodiversity impacts, all the while improving alignment on 
nature-related issues in the sustainability disclosure landscape. Our 
ongoing partnership will result in interoperability mapping, with practical 
case studies to come.




                                We will also take on a leadership role in 
the development of a sustainability reporting framework for SMEs, by joining 
the Alliance for Sustainable Enterprises.




                                Finally, if you work in the agriculture, 
aquaculture, and fishing (AAF) sectors and are looking to enhance your 
sustainability reporting skills, our new GRI Academy course might be for 
you. And if you are a user of the AAF Sector Standard (GRI 13), we want to 
hear your views via a short survey.




                                Enjoy!

????: Fwd: Learn how to build a pond in a weekend - The New Water Paradigm


Friends,

I highly recommend this free (but extremely valuable) seminar.

IMPORTANTLY, in a section of the invitation to the seminar (the section is
shown in the attached screenshot), you can gain access to a free e-book
that is all about the NEW WATER PARADIGM. I highly recommend that you
download that book and study it.

With respect,

Russ

We believe a course can be measured by what its? students do afterwards. In
this regard our Core Course has really delivered. All around the world
students of the course are activating water cycle restoration on their
landscapes and in their communities. They are starting their own
businesses, healing their own lands, and even teaching their own courses.


Join Guilherme Neves Castagna, a founding member of our Advanced Course, as
he leads a workshop on *Designing and Implementing Integrated Water Systems
*at Tamera, an intentional community and decentralized water retention
project of Sepp Holzer in Portugal.


You will learn essential techniques such as *rainwater harvesting,
landscape hydration, filtration methods, and passive irrigation systems
using greywater. *This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in
sustainable property design and water resource management, regardless of
their background or expertise.


Guilherme?s journey from student to instructor is a fantastic example of
the *Advanced Core Course?s ability to empower individuals *to become
leaders in water cycle restoration. Join Guilherme *July 18th to July 24th*
to learn how to build a fully integrated small-scale water system!

                                CAN EECCA statement on the Law on Foreign Agents
                                The tightening of legislation concerning financial transparency for NGOs and media in EECCA has led to significant repercussions for civil society and democratic processes, prompting international concern. Russia's "foreign agent" law, mirrored by other countries, has targeted NGOs involved in democracy-building, human rights, and environmental protection, affecting not only organizations but also residents. As the climate crisis necessitates civil society involvement in climate policy, restrictions on democratic freedoms hinder the EECCA countries' ability to adapt to forthcoming disasters, emphasizing the crucial role of strong democracies in addressing climate change and ensuring sustainable development.   

                                CAN EECCA announces mini-grants program to support members in 2024
                                CAN EECCA launches a mini-grant program to support CSOs in the region. The main objectives of the program include strengthening the capacity of CSOs in climate activism, promoting innovation and cooperation, and strengthening civil society voices. The program will provide up to 2000 euros to four organizations, supporting projects that promote sustainable development and cooperation in the EECCA region.  

                                EU purchases of laundered Russian oil worth an estimated ?1.1 billion to the Kremlin in 2023
                                Despite sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, Russian oil continues to flow into the EU, with an estimated ?1.1 billion in direct tax revenues going to the Kremlin from EU imports of refined products made from Russian crude. This loophole in EU sanctions allows refineries outside of the bloc to process discounted Russian crude into refined oil products, which are then legally sold to embargoing jurisdictions like the EU. This has enabled Russian fuel to enter not only the EU but also the UK and the US, exacerbating the conflict in Ukraine by providing significant revenue to the Kremlin, which can be used to fund further military aggression.

                                The promise and perils of Georgia?s East?West Highway project
                                The village of Khevi, nestled amidst the Likhi Range in Georgia, faces environmental and safety challenges due to the construction of the Rikoti section of the East-West Highway. This highway, a vital link between eastern and western Georgia, has been plagued by controversies and delays, with landslides and safety concerns overshadowing its promised benefits of improved travel times and capacity. Critics have raised questions about the quality of construction practices and the selection of routes, highlighting the potential dangers posed by the linear infrastructure project.

                                Turkmenistan?s natural gas exports to China outearn Russia?s supplies
                                In 2024, Gazprom boasted surpassing Turkmenistan as China's top gas supplier by volume, yet Ashgabat still leads in export earnings. Turkmenistan's income from gas exports to China during the first quarter amounted to $2.4 billion, while Russia earned $2 billion for the same period due to China's preference for cheaper Russian gas amid the Kremlin's financial constraints. Despite Russia's current volume advantage, its position may be precarious as Turkmenistan plans to expand its gas fields and capacity, aiming to supply major projects like the TAPI pipeline.

                                What Pollutes the Air the Most in Tajikistan?
                                Over the past 10 years, the amount of harmful emissions in Tajikistan has almost doubled, mainly due to the transportation sector. Experts suggest developing "green" public transportation, given that the main source of air pollution is transportation, which emits carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion of fuel. To improve the situation, they suggest expanding the network of monitoring stations, developing specific emission reduction plans and encouraging the use of public transport, renewable energy sources, as well as energy efficiency and waste recycling programs.

                                Investigation: How Kazakhstan Tries To Make Up Water Shortage By Billions in Investments
                                Water shortages in some regions of Kazakhstan are becoming commonplace, despite catastrophic floods in spring. The state is increasing spending to maintain water availability in the country's three largest rivers, having allocated more than 30 billion tenge over the past 10 years. However, the reduction of water flow in the rivers is observed, which has a negative impact on the economy and ecology of the regions, and the issue of water supply remains relevant. 

                                "Radiation paired with lying, stupidity and closure are completely incompatible things": scientist on decontamination
                                Belarus is closely connected with the history of uranium mining, which began in the ore mountains on the border of East Germany and the Czech Republic back in the 19th century. After the capture of the famous German company Wismut by Soviet troops in the 1950s, uranium ore arrived in Brest for transit to the Soviet Union. However, it was not until after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 that people began to realize the dangers of radiation, finding uranium contamination and its decay products in the city.

                                Amnesty - humanitarian action or land grab?
                                The Georgian parliament passed the law "On Amnesty" on November 15, 2023, exempting from criminal liability persons who have formalized state-owned agricultural land plots. However, political analysts have raised concerns that this law could be used to legalize land confiscation from citizens and suppress their legitimate demands. An essay published by the Heinrich B?ll Foundation examines disputes over land rights and suggests criminalizing citizens to easily seize land for investment and other interests.

                                Kazakhstan: How Ecoactivists Should Protect Their Ideals Without Turning Society and Business Against Themselves
                                Eco-activists in Almaty clashed with the Forum shopping mall over plans to create a cat figure made of biodegradable balloons, sparking a dispute over the environmental acceptability of the event. After pressure from activists, the mall stated that all balloons used for the figure were biodegradable, but activists continued to campaign against the project. Eventually, construction was halted after the conflict escalated, sparking a wave of negative comments and accusations.

                                The world?s most advanced economies just agreed to end coal use by 2035 ? with a catch
                                The Group of Seven nations recently committed to phasing out existing unabated coal power generation in their energy systems during the first half of the 2030s, with an aim to end the use of "unabated" coal by 2035, but allowing flexibility for countries to adjust their timelines based on their net-zero pathways. Despite the caveats, the agreement marks a breakthrough in climate policy after years of negotiations, although some experts argue that the 2035 deadline is too late to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, urging for more ambitious targets to align with climate goals. 

                                Battery costs have dropped 90% in under 15 years giving renewables a boost, new IEA report reveals
                                To meet the 2030 energy targets, global storage capacity must increase sixfold, with batteries leading the charge due to their plummeting costs, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Battery deployment surged in 2023, with significant growth in both the power sector and electric vehicle market, positioning batteries as pivotal to achieving renewable energy goals and decarbonizing transportation. The IEA's analysis underscores the importance of scaling up battery production and ensuring diversified supply chains to maintain energy security and meet ambitious climate targets, with G7 leaders committing to a new global energy storage target aligned with these goals.

                                How does EU climate policy actually impact your life?
                                The European Green Deal and EU initiatives like low emission zones impact citizens' daily lives, especially concerning air quality and transportation in urban areas. These zones, increasingly common across Europe, aim to reduce pollution by restricting or charging older, more polluting vehicles from entering cities. Despite their health and environmental benefits, low emission zones face opposition, highlighting debates over personal freedom versus the common good and serving as a microcosm of broader discussions around EU policies like the European Green Deal.

                                The Plastic Industry?s Latest Delay Tactic: ?Plastic Offsets?
                                Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels, prompting the United Nations to consider action due to its environmental impact and significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. However, instead of seeking viable alternatives, fossil fuel and chemical companies are exploring plastic-offset credits, akin to carbon offsets, which allow them to continue plastic production while claiming to mitigate its environmental harm. Yet, the efficacy of such credits is questionable, given the failures and controversies surrounding carbon offset markets, raising concerns about their ability to address the plastic pollution crisis effectively.

                                Taxing big fossil fuel firms ?could raise $900bn in climate finance by 2030?
                                A proposed tax on fossil fuel companies operating in OECD countries could generate significant revenue to support vulnerable nations in addressing the climate crisis, potentially raising $720 billion by 2030, according to the Climate Damages Tax report. Advocates argue that such a tax, administered within existing systems, would be a fair and effective way for developed nations to fulfill their commitment to funding climate mitigation efforts. Backed by numerous climate organizations globally, the proposal aims to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its role in exacerbating the climate emergency while providing essential financial support to communities most affected by its impacts.

                                Dear Friends!

                                Today, fires caused by military operations 
are one of the main drivers of ecosystem destruction and biodiversity losses 
in Ukraine. Moreover, comprehensive impact monitoring is impossible in 
wartime, and there is no quantitative data regarding the burning of forests 
and steppes since the full-scale invasion began over two years ago. Damage 
resulting from the last decade of fires has yet to be calculated as well. 
Generally less forested, agricultural and steppe landscapes in eastern 
Ukraine are especially affected by the fighting. Burned forests in those 
areas will be more difficult to restore, and their role in mitigating 
climate change in the region will be almost impossible to replace. This 
month, Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group director Oleksiy Vasyliuk 
examines monitoring of forest fires caused by military operations:


                                a.. Flames of war: How Ukraine lost over 
1,000 square kilometers of forest


                                In conditions of the ongoing war, it is 
generally very difficult to effect environmental protection measures in 
nature reserves and national parks. Since the full-scale Russian invasion 
began, 812 protected area sites totalling roughly one million square 
kilometers have been damaged by military operations. Taken together, this 
jeopardizes achievement of the European Union?s Biodiversity Strategy, an 
important focus for Ukraine?s European integration. Expanded implementation 
of rewilding practices in wartorn areas offers one potential solution. 
Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Hubareva explores this topic:


                                a.. Ukraine?s protected areas: defended or 
degraded?

                                Despite the ongoing hostilities, nature 
continues to spontaneously recuperate. Today, there is even a special term 
for this ? war-wilding. War-wilding can occur in areas affected by the 
full-scale war in Ukraine and is essentially a natural process of ecosystem 
restoration in areas abandoned by humans. That said, it is important that 
restoration contributes to the conservation of the country's biodiversity 
rather than becoming ground zero for the spread of invasive species. Despite 
the ongoing war, Ukrainian environmentalists are carrying out initiatives to 
rewild territories. Learn about how rewilding occurs and explore examples of 
rewilding in an article written by Ukrainian experts for UWEC Work Group:


                                a.. Spontaneous recovery in wartime: How 
Ukraine can become a testing ground for unique environmental projects


                                This month we focus on energy in our monthly 
review of stories related to the war?s environmental consequences in 
Ukraine. Intensified shelling of energy infrastructure in early April again 
raised the issue of how to restore Ukraine?s energy system. UWEC experts 
propose that electricity generation and the distribution grid be 
decentralized and become more energy efficient, in other words, moving away 
from large generation units such as thermal power plants, nuclear power 
plants, and hydroelectric power plants:


                                a.. Environmental consequences of the war in 
Ukraine: April 2024 review


                                UWEC Work Group experts Eugene Simonov and 
Oleksiy Vasyliuk also studied the question of decentralizing Ukraine?s 
electric industry and explore how development of renewable energy generation 
relates to conservation practices as well as the role of ?green energy? in 
Ukraine?s integration with Europe:

Ukraine: the risks and opportunities

                                Legal committee of Georgian parliament takes 
1 minute to assess foreign agents law
                                Georgia's Parliament's Legal Committee 
swiftly approved the contentious foreign agents law in just 67 seconds, with 
most opposition MPs unable to attend the session, amidst widespread protests 
against the bill in Tbilisi over the weekend. Over 50,000 demonstrators 
marched through the capital opposing the law, likened to repressive Russian 
legislation targeting Kremlin critics, which requires organizations 
receiving foreign funding to be labeled as "foreign agents."

                                US Senate approves bill to ban Russian 
uranium imports
                                The U.S. Senate unanimously passed 
legislation to block imports of Russian uranium, aligning with efforts to 
undermine Russia amid its conflict with Ukraine, following earlier approval 
by the House of Representatives. The bill, expected to be signed into law by 
President Biden, aims to halt Russian uranium imports 90 days after 
enactment while providing waivers for domestic reactor supply concerns and 
unlocking $2.7 billion for domestic uranium production.

                                Kyrgyzstan: Unsolved Issues in Renewable 
Energy Sources
                                Experts note that Kyrgyzstan has significant 
potential for renewable energy development, but this requires addressing 
many challenges, including global commitments to reduce the use of fossil 
fuels and addressing the energy crisis. The country's authorities are 
actively developing renewable infrastructure, commissioning small 
hydroelectric power plants and planning the construction of solar and wind 
farms. However, issues remain unresolved, such as the provision of water for 
the construction of hydropower plants and determining how much electricity 
can be generated from renewable sources.

                                Azerbaijan: BP launches new oil production 
facility
                                Azerbaijan will get a welcome earnings boost 
from BP?s announcement that it has launched production at a new $6-billion 
facility in Azerbaijan?s giant Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli oil field. The upgrade 
can boost the field?s output by as much as 25 percent.

                                Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan plan to sell green 
energy to Europe via Azerbaijan
                                Energy Minister Almasadam Satkaliyev said 
that the cost of the project to export electricity from Kazakhstan and 
Uzbekistan via Azerbaijan to Europe will be determined by the end of the 
year, and the project plans to utilize the wind potential of the Caspian 
Lowlands and the Aral Sea area for exports. The construction of about 7 GW 
of capacity in Kazakhstan and up to 5 GW in Uzbekistan is aimed at providing 
clean energy supplies to Europe, and the signing of a memorandum of 
cooperation between the three countries has paved the way for the project's 
implementation.

                                Will Kazakhstan go nuclear?
                                Kazakhstan is grappling with the contentious 
issue of nuclear power, fearing public backlash if they proceed without 
popular support. President Tokayev proposed a national referendum in 
September to gauge public opinion, but progress has been slow due to 
extensive preparatory work required. Memories of past government missteps, 
combined with lingering concerns over nuclear testing's legacy, have made 
nuclear energy a deeply sensitive issue for many Kazakhs.

                                ?Hopeless, Broken? Climate Scientists 
Deliver a Call to Action for Everyone
                                The Guardian's recent survey reveals that 
many top climate scientists feel "hopeless and broken" due to the severity 
of climate change predictions, with only a small percentage believing 
countries will meet the crucial 1.5?C warming target. Despite this grim 
outlook, there are rays of hope, including significant progress in solar and 
wind energy, advancements in battery storage technology, and ambitious 
renewable energy projects around the world, indicating that solutions are 
within reach if urgent action is taken. The juxtaposition of dire warnings 
and promising developments underscores the critical importance of heeding 
scientists' calls for action and accelerating efforts to combat climate 
change.

                                UN agrees carbon market safeguards to tackle

                                The new global carbon market established 
under the Paris Agreement will implement a system allowing local communities 
to challenge UN-registered carbon credit projects both before and after 
their implementation, addressing concerns about land grabs and environmental 
abuses. Negotiators and experts recently approved an appeals and grievance 
procedure for the UN's proposed Article 6.4 carbon crediting mechanism, 
aiming to empower vulnerable communities and individuals and uphold their 
rights. While the procedures mark a significant step forward in ensuring 
accountability and protecting affected communities, concerns remain about 
potential retribution against complainants and the need for further 
safeguards.

                                Climate Change Media Partnership COP29 
Reporting Fellowship
                                The Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP) 
has opened applications for its COP29 Reporting Fellowship Program, inviting 
up to 20 journalists from low- and middle-income countries to report 
in-person at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the 
Parties (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan from November 11-22, 2024. Established 
in 2007, the CCMP has facilitated coverage of the annual UN climate talks 
for journalists worldwide, offering valuable training and insights into 
global climate action. The fellowship covers travel expenses, accommodation, 
meals, insurance, and provides logistical support, aiming to equip fellows 
with the resources and knowledge needed to report effectively on the climate 
negotiations.

                                Fossil fuels generated less than a quarter 
of the EU's electricity in April
                                Renewable energy sources, particularly wind 
and solar, drove a significant drop in fossil fuel generation in the EU, 
resulting in fossil fuels providing less than a quarter of the bloc's energy 
for the first time in April. Wind and solar alone generated more than a 
third of the EU's electricity, with coal contributing just 8.6 percent of 
the energy mix compared to 30 percent in 2023, marking a significant shift 
in the region's energy landscape. Despite rising electricity demand, fossil 
fuel electricity generation continued to decline as renewables increasingly 
replaced them in the energy mix, indicating a structural transition towards 
cleaner energy sources in the EU.

                                Stop deep sea mining before it fuels wars
                                The deep ocean, one of Earth's last 
untouched frontiers, is threatened by the nascent industry of deep sea 
mining, driven by the extraction of metals and minerals purportedly for 
clean energy transition but now marketed for military purposes. Despite 
attempts to justify its existence as essential for the energy transition, 
scientific evidence suggests otherwise, leading 25 governments to reject or 
call for a cautious approach to deep sea mining. Companies driving this 
industry, exemplified by The Metals Company and Kongsberg, are accused of 
greenwashing and hypocrisy, exacerbating geopolitical tensions and risking 
environmental destruction and global conflict.

Hello Svet!


Thanks for asking for more info about Ocean Pasture Restoration. This is nature's way to successfully deal with the greenhouse effect and also the only available practical cure for ocean acidification. Eco-friendly, very fast, inexpensive, effective, decentralized, many side beniefits - We call the campaign "100 Villages". 


(Russ Speer speaks highly of you, and also I am eager to correspond because of the Russian connection. I am living in Moscow.)

Dear ICCA friends, 
Sharing with you all a timely historical reflection on past social and governance responses to climate change dating from the 1400s prior to the colonial period. 

Kind regards,

A 600-Year-Old Blueprint for Weathering Climate Change
During the Little Ice Age, Native North Americans devised whole new economic, social, and political structures.

By Kathleen DuVal





Around the year 1300, the Huhugam great chief Siwani ruled over a mighty city near what is now Phoenix, Arizona. His domain included adobe-and-stone pyramids that towered several stories above the desert; an irrigation system that watered 15,000 acres of crops; and a large castle. The O?odham descendants of the Huhugam tell in their oral history that Siwani ?reaped very large harvests with his two servants, the Wind and the Storm-cloud.? By Siwani?s time, Huhugam farms and cities had thrived in the Sonoran Desert for nearly 1,000 years. But then the weather refused to cooperate: Drought and flooding destroyed the city, and Siwani lost his awesome power, driven away by an angry mob.

Siwani was one of many leaders across North America in the 13th and 14th centuries who, in part because of climate change, faced destruction of the civilization they ruled. Beginning in the 13th century, the Northern Hemisphere experienced a dramatic climatic shift. First came drought, then a period of cold, volatile weather known as the Little Ice Age. In its depths, the annual average temperature in the Northern Hemisphere may have been 5 degrees colder than in the preceding Medieval Warm Period. It snowed in Alabama and South Texas. Famine killed perhaps 1 million people around the world.

Native North Americans and Western Europeans responded very differently to the changes. Western Europeans doubled down on their preexisting ways of living, whereas Native North Americans devised whole new economic, social, and political structures to fit the changing climate. A common stereotype of Native Americans is that, before 1492, they were primitive peoples who lived in tune with nature. It is true that, in the 1400s, the Indigenous people of what is now the United States and Canada generally lived more sustainably than Europeans, but this was no primitive or natural state. It was a purposeful response to the rapid transformation of their world?one that has implications for how we navigate climate change today.

Both Native North Americans and Western Europeans had taken advantage of the Medieval Warm Period, which began in the 10th century and ended in the 13th century, by farming more intensively. Compared with the preceding centuries, the era brought relatively predictable weather and a longer growing season that allowed new crops and large-scale agriculture to spread into colder climes: from central Mexico to what is now the United States, and from the Levant and Mesopotamia to Western Europe, Mongolia, and the Sahel region of Africa.

In both North America and Western Europe, agricultural expansion allowed population growth and urbanization. Native Americans built grand cities on the scale of those in Europe. Their ruins still stand across the continent: the stone structures of Chaco Canyon, in New Mexico; the complex irrigation systems of the Huhugam, in Arizona; the great mounds of Cahokia and other Mississippian cities on rivers across the eastern half of the United States. Many groups formed hierarchical class systems and were ruled by powerful leaders who claimed supernatural powers?not unlike kings who ruled by divine right in Europe.

But then the climate reversed itself. In response, Native North American societies developed a deep distrust of the centralization, hierarchy, and inequality of the previous era, which they blamed for the famines and disruptions that had hit cities hard. They turned away from omnipotent leaders and the cities they ruled, and built new, smaller-scale ways of living, probably based in part on how their distant ancestors lived.

The oral histories of many Native nations tell of revolutions against and flights from cities. Cherokee oral history recalls how ?the people rose up? and destroyed ?a hereditary secret society, since which time, no hereditary privileges have ever been tolerated among the Cherokees.? Descendants of Chaco Canyon narrate how wizards corrupted some leaders, so their people fought against the rulers or simply left to establish more egalitarian societies. O?odham oral tradition tells that after their ancestors revolted, they built smaller settlements and less centralized irrigation systems throughout what today are the Phoenix and Tucson basins.

The cities that Native Americans left behind during the Little Ice Age?ruins such as those at Chaco Canyon and Cahokia?led European explorers and modern archaeologists alike to imagine societal collapse and the tragic loss of a golden age. But oral histories from the generations that followed the cities? demise generally described what came later as better. Smaller communities allowed for more sustainable economies. Determined not to depend on one source of sustenance, people supplemented their farming with increased hunting, fishing, and gathering. They expanded existing networks of trade, carrying large amounts of goods all across the continent in dugout canoes and on trading roads; these routes provided a variety of products in good times and a safety net when drought or other disasters stressed supplies. They developed societies that encouraged balance and consensus, in part to mitigate the problems caused by their changing climate.

To support their new economies, Native North Americans instituted decentralized governing structures with a variety of political checks and balances to prevent dictatorial leaders from taking power and to ensure that all members of a society had a say. Power and prestige lay not in amassing wealth but in assuring that wealth was shared wisely, and leaders earned support in part by being good providers and wise distributors. Many polities established councils of elders and balanced power by pairing leaders, such as the war chief and the peace chief; setting up male and female councils; and operating under family-based clans that had members in multiple towns. In the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, for example, female clan leaders chose male representatives to the Confederacy Council and could replace them if they didn?t do right by the people. In most societies across North America, all of the people?women as well as men?had some say in important decisions such as choosing a new leader, going to war, or making peace. As the Anishinaabe historian Cary Miller wrote in her book Ogimaag: Anishinaabeg Leadership, 1760?1845, Native American nonhierarchical political systems ?were neither weak nor random but highly organized and deliberate.?

Underlying the structural changes was an ideological shift toward reciprocity, an ideal of sharing and balance that undergirded economics, politics, and religion across much of the continent. The Sonoran Desert?living O?odham, for example, developed a himdag, or ?way of life,? that taught that people are supposed to share with one another according to what they have, especially the necessities of food, water, and shelter. Reciprocity is not merely generosity; giving away a surplus is an investment, insurance that others will help in your own time of need. ?Connection to others improved the chances of overcoming some calamity or disaster that might befall the individual or group,? the Lumbee legal scholar Robert A. Williams Jr. wrote in his book Linking Arms Together: American Indian Treaty Visions of Law and Peace, 1600?1800.

By the late 1400s, the civilizations of what today is the United States, Canada, and northern Mexico were more different from Western Europe than one would have predicted during the Medieval Warm Period. From Russia to England, Europe moved in the opposite direction in response to the changing climate. When the period of droughts and then the Little Ice Age hit, hundreds of thousands of Europeans starved to death, and the famines left people more susceptible to the Black Death, which hit especially hard in the cities. Western Europeans, like North Americans, searched for a ruling system that could best keep the people fed and safe, but they opted for the opposite approach.

In general, as Western Europe recovered from the devastation of the Black Death and the end of the Medieval Warm Period, it became more centralized under the rule of hereditary absolute monarchs. Rulers in Europe amassed military power at home and abroad, building large armies and investing in new military technologies, including firearms. Militarization decreased the status of women?s labor, and unlike the complementary gender structures that developed in Native North America, patriarchy was the basis of power in Western Europe, from the pope and kings to lords and priests, down to husbands within households. Through mercantilism and colonization, Europeans sought natural resources abroad in order to increase their power at home. That impulse brought them into contact with Native North Americans, whose history of adaptation they could not see. Nor could they see how intentionally Native Americans had decentralized their systems of governance.

Native Americans who visited European cities or even colonial towns were shocked at the inequality and lack of freedom. The Muscogee Creek headman Tomochichi, for example, visited London in 1734 and expressed surprise that the British king lived in a palace with an unnecessarily large number of rooms. An Englishman recorded that Tomochichi observed that the English ?knew many things his Countrymen did not? but ?live worse than they.? In turn, there were Europeans who wondered how North American societies could exist with dramatically fewer strictures?and have less poverty?than their own. They generally labeled Native American societies primitive rather than recognizing them as complicated adaptations. Yet human choices had created these striking contrasts in reaction to the same changed climate.

The descendants of North America?s great cities came to see value in the very act of trying to get along better. What if, instead of doubling down on the ways we have been living, we were to do what 13th- and 14th-century Native North Americans did, and develop more balanced and inclusive economic, social, and political systems to fit our changing climate? What if we put our highest priority on spreading prosperity and distributing decision making more broadly? It sounds unprecedented, but it has happened before.

Subject: Opportunity: Former U.S. VP Al Gore to train Climate Champions in Europe


For Europe based Prize recipients, and anybody else who might find this an interesting opportunity: 
  The Climate Reality Project, a nonprofit climate organization founded by former US Vice President Al Gore, is proud to announce the upcoming 56th Climate Reality Leadership training, to be held in Rome, Italy on June 28?30, 2024. 



  This training offers attendees a chance to learn the latest science about the climate crisis that is bringing lethal heatwaves, stronger storms, and many other impacts to Southern Europe. Equally important, attendees will hear about the solutions that are available today. They will also learn how they can fight disinformation from fossil fuel interests and take action to build a better future, powered by clean energy. By attending the training, participants will join the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, the nucleus of Climate Reality?s global network of 3.5 million supporters and catalysts for change worldwide.

  Taking place on the heels of a major EU election and in a shifting political landscape, the training will welcome a diverse range of attendees, including climate activists, business leaders, government officials, civil society representatives, and individuals committed to fostering a sustainable future. Over the span of two-and-a-half days, participants will engage in a comprehensive exploration of the climate crisis and the actionable solutions available.

  "We're bringing together people across Southern Europe who care about the climate crisis because we know action on this critical issue cannot wait. From extreme heat waves to water scarcity and more frequent and intense flooding, climate impacts are already affecting millions across the region,? said Climate Reality Project founder and chairman, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. ?This training will cultivate a community of leaders equipped with the knowledge and resources to champion meaningful solutions." 

  Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from Mr. Gore, gain insights into climate impacts and solutions specific to Southern Europe and the larger Mediterranean region, and learn effective advocacy strategies for instigating change.

                                Georgia president vetoes 'foreign agent' law
                                Georgia's president has vetoed a 
controversial "foreign agent" law, denouncing it as fundamentally Russian 
and a hindrance to the country's EU membership aspirations. The law, passed 
by MPs on Tuesday, requires NGOs and media funded by foreign donors to 
register as organizations representing foreign interests. Despite the 
symbolic veto, the ruling Georgian Dream party can override it with another 
parliamentary vote, sparking concerns that the law may threaten the 
country's path to EU membership amidst ongoing mass protests against it.

                                UK government supports Innovate Ukraine 
green energy programme
                                The UK and Ukraine have initiated Innovate 
Ukraine, a program backing 13 green energy initiatives to transform Ukraine?s 
energy infrastructure and promote post-war recovery. With collaboration from 
over 50 UK and Ukrainian organizations, the program aims to displace fossil 
fuels and attract ?5m in private sector co-investment. Ukrainian Minister of 
Energy, Herman Halushchenko, emphasized the importance of energy 
independence and green transition, foreseeing significant cooperation 
between the two nations in the energy sector's future.

                                Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan press 
ahead with ambitious electricity export plan
                                Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan are 
collaborating on a green energy plan to link their power grids and export 
electricity to the European Union, primarily using wind and solar power. The 
countries have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore joint 
electricity export potential, with plans including the construction of a 
high-voltage cable across the Caspian Sea. Uzbekistan aims to significantly 
increase its renewable energy capacity by 2030, while Kazakhstan and 
Azerbaijan will facilitate the power export arrangement, contributing to 
regional economic integration and trade initiatives.

                                Young Peacebuilders in South Caucasus and

                                The dirty truth about the EU?s hydrogen push
                                The EU's promotion of hydrogen as a clean 
energy solution risks extending fossil fuel dependence and deepening 
extractive practices. Despite the hype, 99% of global hydrogen is produced 
from fossil fuels, contributing significantly to CO2 emissions, while green 
hydrogen remains a minuscule part of production due to its high demands on 
resources. Even "blue" hydrogen, touted as low-emission, has a substantial 
climate footprint due to limited CO2 capture and additional methane 
emissions, making it less climate-friendly than claimed.

                                6 lies fossil fuel companies tell to 
continue business as usual
                                Fossil fuel companies often resort to 
familiar, misleading arguments when confronted with the damaging effects of 
their operations. These include blaming consumer demand, promoting gas as a 
transitional energy, and justifying slow transitions away from fossil fuels. 
Despite claims of investing in renewables and contributing to economies, 
their actions perpetuate environmental harm and social injustices, 
particularly in developing countries. It's time to challenge these 
falsehoods and hold fossil fuel companies accountable for their role in 
exacerbating the climate crisis and perpetuating neocolonial practices.

                                A tragedy in three acts: yesterday, today, 
and tomorrow
                                Greenpeace Brazil is responding swiftly to 
the devastating floods in Rio Grande do Sul, providing aid to affected 
communities and demanding urgent climate action to prevent future tragedies. 
With the death toll surpassing a hundred and thousands displaced, the 
emergency response is urgent and essential. Greenpeace Brazil is mobilizing 
resources, including setting up solidarity kitchens and distributing 
essential supplies, to support those affected by the floods, emphasizing the 
importance of solidarity and long-term support.

                                Jellyfish could be one marine creature that 
benefits from climate change
                                Warming ocean waters could enable jellyfish 
to expand their habitats towards the poles, benefiting from climate change 
while many marine animals suffer. Research from Germany's Alfred Wegener 
Institute predicts that seven out of eight Arctic jellyfish species could 
extend their range by the century's second half, with the lion?s mane 
jellyfish potentially tripling its habitat. This shift could significantly 
impact the marine food web, as jellyfish compete with fish for resources and 
prey on fish larvae and eggs, potentially hindering fish population 
recovery.

                                ?Nothing left?: How climate change uprooted 
an Indigenous village
                                Tsitsiri Samaniego, leader of an Indigenous 
Ashaninka village in Peru, observes distressing signs of environmental 
degradation in his ancestral homeland, with deforestation, river 
contamination, and crop blight threatening his people's way of life. Seeking 
guidance from his ancestors, he visits his grandfather's grave, finding 
solace and strength in the spiritual connection to his heritage. Faced with 
the harsh realities of development and climate change, Samaniego 
contemplates migration as a last resort, highlighting the plight of 
Indigenous communities globally grappling with the impacts of environmental 
degradation and climate variability.

                                Dig out our coal, turn it into cash.
                                Starve out our homelands, but keep your wallets fat.
                                Shake down our houses, with your big old draglines.
                                And bury our families, deep in them mines.


                                I heard these lines, sung by the The Local Honeys, for the first time back in April when the acclaimed folk duo from Kentucky, Montana Hobbs and Linda Jean Stokley, performed at the Bioneers Conference in Berkeley. The words are from their award-winning song, ?Cigarette Trees,? which was inspired by a coal slurry pond disaster in Martin County, KY, back in 2000. That was the first time I heard of the disaster, which spilled 250 million gallons of liquid mine waste into local waterways and, to this day, has left people there struggling to find safe drinking water.

                                ?You know how people have neighborhood watches? Well, in Martin County, they have ?black water watches? so that the first person who sees black water come into the creek can notify the rest of the people in the area,? Stokely told me when I met up with the duo later.

                                Both women spoke quite a bit about Kentucky. About how the beautiful land was prone to catastrophes; how industry influence keeps them stuck with ?shitty politicians representing us to the rest of the world?; and how you can?t really call a terrible flood "a natural disaster" when ?they have blown the top of the mountains off.? But most of all, they spoke about how all these ? the ravaged land, the stranglehold of the dying coal industry, the corrupt politicians ? are not the whole picture.

                                From music and bourbon to horses and grand vistas, Kentucky and its people have a lot more to offer. But to see that, we need to set aside ?age-old stereotypes that are still being used to keep Appalachians down,? Hobbs said. And, above all, she said, our nation needs to support the creation of alternative economies in these places. Because so far, ?Kentucky and Appalachia haven?t been offered another option.?

                                Instead, one of the big projects proposed in the state right now is a $500 million federal prison ? atop a former toxic coal mine.
