?? Today, as President Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly for the last time, he emphasized the critical importance of global alliances in tackling pressing global challenges like climate change and food insecurity. At Welthungerhilfe (WHH), we too are dedicated to fostering international collaboration and partnerships that empower communities around the world—and this week, our CEO, Mathias Mogge; and Director of Strategic Partnerships, U.S. and Canada, Michael Gabriel are in New York for this "inflection point" in history. (?? A behind-the-scenes look at their visit in the video! ?? ) ?? Climate change is not just a distant threat; it is a present reality that disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. By working together, we can help these communities adapt and thrive amidst the changing environment. ?? Link to our climate action work in the comments. ?? Let’s heed the call for unity and action. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a more sustainable and equitable future for all. #SummitOfTheFuture #PactForTheFuture #ClimateAction #ClimateWeekNY #ZeroHunger

?? Exploring Intergenerational Collaboration for Climate Security ?? Last week, we hosted an engaging webinar under the theme "Bridging Generations for Climate Security", where we brought together distinguished experts to discuss the critical importance of inter-generational dialogue in addressing climate change. The session offered diverse perspectives on: ?? Harnessing the energy and innovation of youth for climate solutions. ?? Leveraging traditional knowledge as a compass for sustainable practices. ?? Building bridges between generations to strengthen climate security and resilience. The conversation underscored a powerful truth: climate action is most impactful when it integrates the wisdom of the past with the creativity and drive of the future. ?? This week, we’ll be sharing insights and actionable recommendations from the webinar. Expect powerful expert quotes, innovative solutions, and inspiring ideas for building a sustainable future—together. ?? We’d love to hear from you: How can different generations collaborate effectively to address climate challenges? Share your thoughts in the comments and read more here: https://lnkd.in/dKmjR2zK ?? Follow us to stay updated as we unpack these insights throughout the week. #ClimateSecurity #EconomicJustice #IntergenerationalDialogue #SustainabilityLeadership #ClimateAction #CollaborationForChange #ClimateJustice Mines Action Canada Nairobi summer school on climate justice Summer school @Southern Africa Partnership for the Prevention of Conflict (SAPPC) Nqobile Moyo

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay2024 – We honor the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island as its original stewards and caretakers. As a group of scientists advocating for climate justice, we recognize that Western scientific knowledge has historically excluded and marginalized Indigenous ways of knowing, erasing their contributions from history, discussions, and decision-making processes. Scientist Rebellion acknowledges that Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of life are not only equally important but are essential alongside scientific knowledge for the survival of our planet during this climate crisis. Indigenous communities have thrived and adapted to changing environments for millennia. Their diverse, highly localized wisdom and expertise are critical to developing sustainable, community-centered responses to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Decolonizing science and our ways of thinking is no longer optional—it is vital in addressing the #ClimateCrisis. We commit to recognizing, respecting, and integrating Indigenous knowledge systems in every aspect of our work moving forward.

For communities facing rapid environmental degradation and protracted humanitarian crises, integrating climate action into cross-sectoral work is imperative. Today EI’s Ariel Schindler joined climate and conflict experts to discuss resilience strategies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and USAID’s event "The Red Zone: Charting Paths to Resilience in the Climate-Conflict Nexus." In the plenary session “The Crossfire Between Conflict and Climate Change,” panelists Noam Unger (CSIS), Ciaran Donnelly (International Rescue Committee), Avril Benoit (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)), and Dr. Mohammed Mahmoud (Middle East Institute) discussed the importance of conflict-sensitive adaptation and sustainable solutions to address compounded development challenges. #ClimateAction #resilience
