Today marks the start of COP16 Colombia: the Convention on Biological Diversity ???? ?? This week we'll be sharing three stories of pilots working to innovate to conserve and nurture our fragile ecosystem, starting with a team testing deep-sea cameras for use by developing nations ?? Around 65% of our oceans are deeper than 200m, and they hold huge questions around the biodiversity within and the function of deep sea ecosystems. But very few nations have the technical, human and financial resources to conduct deep-sea research. In 2022, FCDO Pioneers Patrick Halling, Kylie Bamford and Melissa Dawson worked with Cefas to run early stage testing of innovative, affordable cameras, which are now being tested around the world with interested government agencies ?? We'll keep sharing stories throughout each Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations: ?? Oct: Convention on Biological Diversity ?? Nov: Convention on Climate Change ?? Dec: Convention to Combat Desertification Let’s celebrate the innovators and dreamers who are turning challenges into opportunities. Because protecting our planet is not just essential.

?? Excited to Be at #COP29! ?? As the world gathers in Baku, Azerbaijan to address the most pressing climate challenges of our time, I am honored to be part of the action at COP 29. This year’s summit focuses on advancing climate-smart solutions across sectors, and I am thrilled to share my contributions and insights. ?? What’s Happening: Engaging sessions on greening education, sustainability innovations, and global collaboration. Highlights include the launch of transformative tools for climate resilience in education and policy. Incredible opportunities to network with changemakers committed to a greener, more sustainable future. ?? What I’ve Been Working On: Panel discussion on Story Telling for Change: Building Regenerative Cultures from inside Out at the Action on Food hub. Storytelling for Change has the power to ignite transformative mindsets, fostering a regenerative culture rooted in empathy, purpose, and resilience. By shifting narratives from exploitation to restoration, it inspires actionable change from within individuals and communities Contributing to meaningful dialogues on the role of education in sustainability, as an advocate for #SDG 4. #COP29 is not just an event—it’s a call to action. Together, we can innovate for a greener, more inclusive future. Stay tuned for updates, reflections, and key takeaways! While the government discussions reach nowhere on the agendas at #COP, our headmaster- Pinegrove School and mentor for many of us Capt. Aj Singh motivated us to" Bash on Regardless", I too urge all educators, leaders and community to continue to strive and move forward with a single-minded determination to bring the best learning experiences to our respective organizations Let’s make a difference, one conversation at a time. ?? #COP29 #ClimateAction #GreeningEducation #SustainabilityLeadership #SDG4 Shining Star International School T4 Education Jasmane Frans James Alix Michel James Blomfield FRSA Asha Alexander Department of Education And Knowledge - ADEK

???Science Europe at COP29 in Azerbaijan??? Science Europe is proud to be admitted as an official observer at the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29 Azerbaijan) in Baku, and beyond. Our President, Mari Sundli Tveit, spoke in the session of the International Science Council on ‘Climate Science: Key take aways in 2024’, and represented the The Research Council of Norway in the Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark’s session ‘Raising the ambition of urban climate action through multilevel governance’.?Representing the significant contribution on behalf of research organisations to tackle and mitigate the impacts of research as part of the climate crisis.

We’re contributing to climate action at COP29, facilitating critical dialogue and exchange aimed at supercharging the solutions needed to keep 1.5°C within reach. Bertrand Piccard, renowned Swiss explorer and Prize Selection Committee member, inspired audiences with his vision for hydrogen-powered flight. While a panel with Prize winners, including Sebastian Groh of SOLshare and Fabian Shaanika of Kelp Blue, along with Rabecca Hichilo Silolezya of PWC Zambia, highlighted groundbreaking innovations—from clean energy microgrids to giant kelp cultivation —and discussed how technology and social impact together can drive sustainable progress, especially in vulnerable regions. #ZayedSustainabilityPrize #COP29 Bertrand Piccard I Sebastian Groh I SOLshare I Fabian Shaanika I Kelp Blue I Rabecca Hichilo Silolezya I PwC Zambia I

Since the #COP29 climate conference opened in Baku, Azerbaijan, last Monday, the Palestinian cause has been visibly present, highlighting the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza for over a year, along with concerns about escalating Israeli aggression against Lebanon. This focus has been evident in press conferences, side events, and solidarity movements in the UN Climate Change Conference, showcasing Palestinian symbols like the keffiyeh and the iconic watermelon motif. On the first day of the two-week conference, a coalition of civil society organizations from various countries organized a solidarity stand in the blue zone of the conference venue. Dozens participated, answering a call to wear black attire along with the Palestinian keffiyeh or other symbols associated with the cause. Gina Cortés, a Colombian activist from the Women and Gender Alliance and one of the organizers, told Raseef22: "The initiative was a collective effort by different networks and groups to bring more international solidarity with Palestine and other regions facing genocide worldwide. We ensured the initiative was held on the first day to send a clear message to delegates, parties, and civil society that these demands are inseparable from our call for climate justice." Gina highlighted the deep connection between the Palestinian cause and other just struggles with environmental and climate justice issues. "When we talk, for example, about the vast disparity between global military spending and the underfunding of climate action—often due to claims of insufficient resources—and when we highlight the environmental impact and emissions from wars, a subject that still lacks adequate research or attention, we are tackling core issues of environmental and feminist justice," she explains. "We want this conference and the world to fund life, not death. It’s that simple." The Azerbaijani government, a key oil supplier and arms buyer from Israel, has allowed Israel’s delegation to attend COP29 under what Israeli media call “strict security measures.” Israel’s pavilion displays “green technologies and solutions” under a sign reading “From Desert to Oasis.” #COP29Baku #COP29 #Environment

When I first learned about soil science during my time at Michigan Technological University, I never imagined how deeply it would resonate with me and shape my future work. ??? Serving as the North American Focal Point for the UNCCD Youth Caucus has given me the privilege to advocate for sustainable land use and desertification solutions on an international level. ?? This year at COP29 Azerbaijan, these experiences have come full circle as we integrate science and storytelling connecting with partners on the ground through our new AI-driven film which will fully premiere at COP 16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next month. By combining art and technology, we aim to spark fresh conversations about climate, land, and our collective responsibility to protect them.
