I’m delighted to announce that my provocative piece on the impact of #plasticpollution on the #tropics is the first published article in Journal of Tropical Futures published by @SAGEPublishers

Unsustainable #plastic production, use and mismanagement have resulted in increased #plasticpollution in the environment threatening #sustainability, especially in the #tropics.
#sustainabledevelopment #sustainabilitymatters #singleuseplastic
#sustainabledevelopment #sustainabilitymatters #singleuseplastic
Countries in the #tropics have been disproportionally impacted by #plasticpollution due to imports of #plasticwaste from developed countries, or because tropical Small Island Developing States have become overwhelmed by #singleuseplastics used widely in the tourism sector.

This all started with a deep worry about our lack of knowledge of global losses of genetic diversity and the call for more conservation policies that account for genetics @LindaLaikre, @seanmhoban, and others
in summer 2021, a new @UN press release (motivated by a piece by @sdiazecology 10.1126/science.abe1530) presented the goal to preserve “at least 90% of genetic diversity within all species”. Great news, but how do we get there and measure progress?

Additional course correction for #SDG5 is needed.
Our #SDG5plus (SDG5+) approach takes into consideration #intersectionality and gender aspects beyond #women alone, & can help #adaptation actions move towards meeting #genderequality and other #climatejustice goals.

🤝 When places reconcile conservation with #SustainableDevelopment & research, @UNESCO designates them as #BiosphereReserves.
As of 2022, these amazing places are allowing 250 million people to learn and thrive on sustainable solutions!

The Tsimane have always guarded the Beni #BiosphereReserve in Bolivia.
To create a sustainable economic activity and restore ecosystems, the Amazon programme - supported by @LVMH - is helping them build a greenhouse & providing native seeds.

‘Un-disciplinary’ – that’s how @g_kallis describes his research. With a background in chemistry, economics, and environmental policy, he now works on #degrowth and environmental justice at @UABBarcelona
@LenaRethel joins us from @warwickuni She is Professor of International Political Economy and Director of the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation (CSGR) and her research has been grounded primarily in insights from the Southeast Asia region.
Joining us from @ELTE_UNI in Hungary is @Miklos_Antal. Originally trained in engineering-physics, he turned to economic and social aspects of environmental sustainability. To find out more, check out his @TEDx-Talk bit.ly/3wBEloB
The reform of the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences #GSP, which provides significant tariff reductions to developing countries’ exports to the EU, is a major opportunity to improve the lives and livelihoods of over 2 billion people.🧵
Today the European Parliament’s @EP_Trade committee has sent a clear message that the forthcoming #GSP Regulation must be squarely focused on the core objectives of #PovertyEradication and #SustainableDevelopment.
1. I am a Co-ordinating lead author of the #IPCC #WGII Chapter 18 on Climate resilient development (CRD) pathways, along with @AromarRevi and @bl_preston. CRD a foundational concept for the WGII report. But what is it? #ClimateReport #IPCC
2. The key message of #IPCC #WGII #AR6 Ch 18 is: Every development choice now moves us toward or away from a climate resilient future. This means that more than before, we see the connection of #SustainableDevelopment and climate change.
3. #ClimateResilientDevelopment (#CRD) is defined as the strategic combination of adaptation to climate change with mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions to support sustainable development. #ClimateReport #IPCC #WGII.
Fastest EU-membership negotiations ever, even faster than @Eurosurveillanc's rapid response.

I assume it will take a couple of decades where we will see Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations across many petrol bunks, highway hotels, truck lay bays and may be few better technologies for smoother commuting of EVs, esp long distance travel.
What if ...
What if ...
... the Executive help the automotive industry to fast track this possibility (even if there is disproportion initially, with the EV sales) so that we can lure the #ecoconscious public to make that switch from conventional vehicles a decade earlier than expected!

In other words, I am willing to make that switch now. But am skeptic because of the accessibility of charging during my travel (fairly frequent long distance traveller).

#sustainabledevelopment #SustainableDevelopmentGoals
The bill initiated by @IsraeliPM , Ministers @yairlapid, @tamarzandberg, @AvigdorLiberman, @KElharrar, @MeravMichaeli, @OrnaBarb & @Ayelet__Shaked outlines a national strategy which will promote clean & efficient technologies & a 27% reduction in emissions by 2030.
A number of groundbreaking steps will be taken on a national level in order to reach these goals by 2050 including:
📌A 71% reduction in municipal waste by 2030
📌Purchasing green city busses (beginning in 2026)
📌Reducing carbon emissions from electricity by 30% (by 2030)

Ili uweze kuchangamkia fursa zinazotokana na sheria na kanuni za local content kwenye madini ni lazima kwanza ujue kuna nini jikoni. Kwa ufupi madini ni sekta inayokadiriwa kuzungusha Tsh trilioni 4 kwa mwaka kwenye manunuzi. Sasa tambua ni nini kipo ndani.

Fursa zipo za aina mbili
Moja utoe huduma kwenye migodi na sekta ya madini kwa ujumla, yaani huduma kama chakula (catering), ujenzi, Maintenance, huduma za meno na kinywa, bima, data, mawasiliano, usafirishaji, utafiti na kadhalika.
Naambatanisha tangazo hapa kama mfano

Fursa namba 2 kwenye manunuzi ni kuuza bidhaa. Hapa tunazungumzia bidhaa ambazo migodi na wadau wake wanahitaji. Hizi ziko nyingi sana, mfano grinding media, vilainishi, ground support, kemikali, baruti, vyakula kama nyama, matunda, ni vingi sana sana.
1) Engineered timber will revolutionize urban construction
By 2050, ~68% of world's pop. will dwell in cities -> rapid urbanization will req add'l infrastructure
Q: How can cities build to meet urbanization demand & also reduce CO2 impact at same time?

2) The 2 most common building materials today are steel & concrete
- Together, these materials generate ~10% of world's CO2 [greater than all but two countries: 🇺🇸& 🇨🇳]
- To have any shot at reducing the CO2 footprint by 2050, cities need #sustainabledevelopment alternatives

- Durable -> strength rivals steel but 80% lighter
- Modular -> Lego-like, prefabricated sections reduce transport times & streamline on-site flows
- Economic -> Est. to reduce construction times by ~20%
