?? Proud to share groundbreaking work from my XMNR cohort! I'm excited to highlight the third article in a thought-provoking series by my friend and fellow Virginia Tech Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability cohort member, Meg Kinney. Her piece, part of a 4-part series adapted from her independent study, offers fresh insights into climate change communication. Meg explores why Americans aren't mobilizing at scale to address climate change, despite widespread awareness. She identifies two key factors keeping us "socially and emotionally stuck": 1. The creation of a moral ledger judging intentions, leading to "greenhushing" 2. A lack of awe and wonder limiting our sense of connectedness to nature Meg's work challenges us to move beyond divisive rhetoric and embrace a more nuanced, empathetic approach to climate action. She argues for the power of gratitude and attention in driving meaningful change. As someone passionate about environmental leadership, I find Meg's perspectives both refreshing and vital. I encourage my network to read her full article and reflect on how we can apply these insights in our professional and personal lives.

Ashesi University’s Ghana Climate Innovation Centre was so very pleased to be part of this roundtable discussion hosted by The Mastercard Centre for Inclusive Growth and Aimée Christensen's Christensen Global on Advancing Climate Smart Inclusive Growth for Small Businesses:?The Power of Data, Capital and Digital Solutions. The Roundtable sought to mobilize new efforts to reduce #climate-related #risks and activate climate related opportunities for small and growing businesses, and brought together leaders across #philanthropy, #investment & subject matter experts. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data collected from green enterprises across Ghana's 16 regions, capital provided to the #entrepreneurs, and climate-responsive business advisory support that Ashesi’s Climate Innovation Centre provides addresses the complex sets of needs of small and growing #businesses face in a climate destabilized world. The Centre hits on all three levers of #data, #capital, #advisory support, i.e.: Data: retrieving from the businesses we work with to inform the work we do around the policies needed for green transition? Capital: provision of financial grants to support the growth of the businesses we support Wrap-Around Support:?The Centre’s business programs provide training including sustainability practices and marketing green enterprises to corporations and consumers; and identifies policies to grow MSE opportunities in the green economy #climatetransition #SMEs #greenbusinesses

it's a new year, what new idea should we imbibe to make the earth a better place °°°°?. I think "Conflict Resolution" will reduce Global climate impact. what do you think??? add in comment.

This TED talk, is very interesting, but extremly worrying at the same time ?? Well worth a watch, just to get a little understanding of the problems we are facing NOW! "We're nearly halfway through the 2020s, dubbed the most decisive decade for action on climate change. Where exactly do things stand? Climate impact scholar Johan Rockstr?m offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the state of the planet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth's resilience to human pressure." 'We' as individuals, with the help of our Governments & Global Leaders, have the means to really tackle this climatic change. We already have the tools & knowhow, and are able to impliment them. However, we really don't have long before we reach some major tipping points - The concensus seems to be around TEN years, since the climate is changing at a much greater speed than was previously thought ?? https://lnkd.in/dRwvSvS4

Can Science Save Our World? Last night, I watched BBC Panorama: Can Science Save Our World? with my teenage kids. It was a refreshing, positive look at innovations that could reverse climate change.

Let’s focus on what can be done. https://lnkd.in/eGD45hSm #ClimateChange #Innovation #Hope #FutureGenerations
