Should kids and adults be separated during the holidays? EDC's Joy Lorenzo Kennedy, Ph.D., developmental psychologist and researcher, is featured in this HuffPost article: https://lnkd.in/gvdweB8T Kennedy provided expert insights on why separating children from adults at holiday events is not recommended, as it prevents kids from learning important social and behavioral skills from their elders. EDC is honored to have our researchers contribute their expertise to important discussions around family dynamics and child development.

🌍 COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan! 🌍 I’m attending this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) alongside my colleagues at edc.org. 🎤 I'll also be speaking at the YOUNGO Headline Event on November 18th, 2024, from 10:00h - 13:00h AZT in Plenary Caspian, Area D. Looking forward to the discussions on youth-led climate action and intergenerational collaboration! 🌱 At EDC, we bring a much needed focus to the intersection of education, workforce development, and climate change. Through initiatives like Inspiring Climate Action Now (ICAN) and Our World, Our Work (OWOW), we are committed to ensure young people can thrive by advancing climate ready education and green workforce development. 🌍 Why COP29 Matters: This year’s COP29 is all about strengthening global commitments and ensuring financial resources are directed to action. It's crucial we prioritize inclusive solutions that support youth and women, especially from marginalized communities. 📊 Did you know? Less than 1% of global climate finance is directed toward climate education, and less than 40% of NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) plans include a focus on skills development. This gap underscores the urgent need to invest in equipping young people with the skills needed for the green economy and to thrive in a climate-impacted world. 🌱 💬 Feel free to reach out! I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations at COP29 to make climate education and green skills central to the global climate agenda. #COP29 #ClimateAction #YouthLeadership #ClimateFinance #GreenSkills #EducationMatters #Sustainability #ICAN #EDC #OWOW #ClimateJustice #GreenEconomy

Last week, EDC was at #GSA2024 in Seattle for the Annual Scientific Meeting to discuss key developments in gerontology. EDC experts presented findings on strategies to prevent elder mistreatment, approaches to improve the quality and equity of dementia care, the role of caregivers in elder mistreatment prevention, and improving elder mistreatment screening and prevention in dementia care. A heartfelt congratulations to all of our dedicated staff for fostering an enriching environment filled with meaningful and fruitful discussion, as well as our partners at The John A. Hartford Foundation. Join us tomorrow for a free virtual summit that will explore how to improve services and supports for people with dementia and their caregivers: https://lnkd.in/enKzx6cR

EDC is at #COP29 building partnerships that advance education, skills, and a just transition to a green economy. Systemiq Ltd. Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH World Resources Institute NDC Partnership
Today marks 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 at #COP29. A just transition to a green economy will not be achieved without putting 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿e and ensuring they have the skills and jobs to participate in the green economy.
