Green journalists acknowledge the prevalent use of terms like "climate doom" and "environmental existential dread" but emphasize the importance of avoiding hopelessness. While reporting truthfully on climate and nature crises is essential, it is equally crucial to convey a sense of hope to prevent apathy. How can public policy initiatives support media outlets in promoting a balanced narrative on climate issues, ensuring accurate reporting while fostering a hopeful outlook to motivate meaningful public engagement and action? https://lnkd.in/dNCYaTzZ

“Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity—especially in Southeast Asia—are just the tip of the melting iceberg. Our youth faces a world where essential supplies, food, clean air, and water, are becoming increasingly scarce.“ For ICSC’s Climate Policy Analyst Danize Lukban, #BoldClimateActionIs engaging the youth and creating opportunities for all to participate actively in climate solutions.

Today marks nature, land use and oceans day at #COP28. As leaders negotiate our climate future, it is just as critical we uplift and recognize the global network of wisdom and work of local leaders on the climate frontlines. The highly innovative and effective localized model of NGO Filha do Sol is regenerating tropical nature and centering women’s leadership in climate justice in Northeast Brazil, a region home to vast mangrove ecosystems. I witnessed the progress of the major mangrove project supported by Filha do Sol during my August visit, as well as understanding the ‘how and why’ of the inspiring leadership driving this forward. Putting a practical edge to McKinsey’s 2022 Blue Carbon report, along with many others, which puts mangrove restoration in marine carbon abatement solutions. By far. On the traditional reserve island of Canarias, the community is repairing land and economic devastation through a major restoration of the mangroves previously destroyed. Supported by Filha do Sol funds, publicity and advice, the project has been led by Rosângela Santos, a true force of nature and leader, who coordinates the project at Comissão Ilha Ativa. To be with her, on the island, and the community team working in lockstep, is to experience determination and barrier-breaking to ensure community survival and economic and environmental resurgence. This project, along with so many other regional initiatives brought together and supported by Filha do Sol, proves that it takes a village of villages to solve the climate crisis, as well as the power of the next generation’s climate leadership.

Become a climate ambassador! Are you doing something to tackle climate change? Saving energy, recycling, eating less meat, walking or taking public transport instead of driving, etc. The European Union is raising awareness among active citizens on how they can spread the word around them and become climate ambassadors. I recommend you read this article which is very much in line with our efforts from the 10 Billion Solutions Academy to equip as many people as possible with good communications and outreach skills. #climatecommunication #climateconversations #climateaction #citizens #EuropeanUnion #Eu #GreenDeal #eugreendeal EU Environment and Climate European Parliament European Commission EU Climate Pact - France

For Danize Lukban of the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, #BoldClimateActionIs engaging youth as proactive contributors to climate solutions. Danize says we must cultivate a culture of environmental stewardship among our children so we shape a future that prioritizes a sustainable and thriving planet for generations to come. #GlobalStocktake #COP28 Independent Global Stocktake (iGST) https://lnkd.in/dwDTyab8

Our goal is to unlock climate finance directly for Indigenous Peoples and forest communities, and countries in the Global South. Francisca Arara, member of the Equitable Earth Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Advisory Group, said in the #cop28 panel conversation, Getting Carbon Markets Right for Communities - A Conversation on Fair Greenhouse Gas Accounting: "Climate change is affecting all living beings, and already disrupting ecosystems. Climate funds cannot be one other step of bureaucracy. The resources need to go directly to Indigenous Peoples, who are the ones protecting the forests." Equitable Earth is committed to making the economics work first and foremost for the forest communities who are the vanguard of conservation for climate action. Learn more at: https://eq-earth.com

Euronews wants to promote the positive environmental stories. As it says "while there's a lot to be worried about when it comes to the climate and nature crises, we must not lose hope - because hopelessness breeds apathy". In 2023, Euronews Green kept track of all the positive environmental news throughout the year. It racked up over 200 stories of eco-innovation, green breakthroughs and climate wins - more than double the number in 2022 and a sure sign of momentum. A good initiative to highlight the upside of the battle that we must collectively win. #climateaction
