Is it worrying that there have been reported cases of locally acquired #malaria in the US? Yes, but there was a very specific set of circumstances that aligned and created the conditions for these cases. Helpful insight from Johns Hopkins. publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/ma…
"If we fail on water, we will fail on all of the SDGs..."
So what do we need to ensure a sustainable future of water for all? Public-private partnerships could help catalyze a variety of conservation and water supply efforts. @WEF weforum.org/agenda/2023/09/p…

Tourism and conservation can go hand-in-hand, but there's a lot more work to do to enact change on a larger scale.
That means doing something about food waste, littering, and the ever-widening "intention-action" gap. #SustainableTourism weforum.org/agenda/2023/09/t…

See how USAID is mobilizing finance and partnerships to support the transition to sustainable land-use across Southeast Asia: medium.com/usaid-2030/three-…
All too often companies think of sustainability as antithetical to business growth and transformation. But what they get wrong is the fact that these two ideas can not only coexist, but fuel each other.

Our global food systems continue to face hurdle after hurdle, and over 780 million people face extreme food insecurity across the globe.

Excellent article from @nwtls. These changes in ocean color go beyond the surface. They reflect on the health of plankton, the organisms relying on them, and their ability to take up carbon.

Food for thought:
Plastic pollution is part of a larger, systemic issue. To move toward circularity and clean up our environment, we have to shift our mindsets too.

If #Texas wants a #sustainable way forward, this must be addressed. Every step we take towards adopting more #RenewableEnergy is exciting, however, it's important that we urge each other to see help – be it #politically, through brands, etc. @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
"China will double down on power system reforms and shift its focus to reducing carbon emissions."
Working on making these #systems more efficient is paramount for not only businesses but for the #EndUser in terms of financial commitment. #CarbonEmission reuters.com/business/energy/…
This is an excellent overview of the recent events we are facing in our climate, which are having direct impacts on the health of our planet. From #wildfires to ocean warming – it's important that we all see the signs today.

Several bills in Texas are looking to turn renewable energy into a highly coveted feature. The further they push for this, the less their environment is actually helped.

Beyond the climate-altering issues our planet faces, Canada continues to be an example of just how much of an economic toll any region can take if not invested properly in climate change protection. @nytimes

The particularly #dangerous heat that many places have been experiencing goes beyond normal Summer conditions. As a result of slowly creeping #ClimateChange, many people are being forced to stop working in these harsh conditions. #ElNino npr.org/2023/07/05/118600395…
Despite gains in renewable energy, fossil fuels accounted for 82% of energy supply in 2022.

"The big question is, can we develop different processes and different products that give us the same benefits while consuming much less energy, all while supporting a growing population and economy?"
The answer lies in rethinking how we consume energy. weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/e…
While carbon capture technology is still in its infancy, East Africa's Rift Valley could provide the perfect conditions for “direct air capture” stations.
Still, prioritizing the acceleration of this tech can't come at the expense of climate action now. economist.com/middle-east-an…
