This is one of my favorite spots along the Liesing in Vienna.

I don't know about this section, but most of the Lising was confined in concrete walls not too many years ago, but almost every section in Vienna has been renaturalized by now.

The results:
* fewer floods
* better water quality (Platon doesn't stink after bathing)
* the human psyche benefits from the beauty of nature
* more biodiversity
* great education opportunity (you probably can't see it in the pictures, but just a little bit upstream there is a group of kindergardeners probably learning something about the environment)
* cooler microclimate
* and many, many more

🌍🤝 #Klimaschutz mit #CoBenefits wirkt gleich mehrfach im globalen Süden, denn Emissionen werden gemindert und gleichzeitig #Entwicklungswirkungen gefördert. #Plastikmüll verschmutzt nicht nur Land und Meere, sondern wird in #Kambodscha oft verbrannt. Plastikabfall zu sammeln und zu recyclen, schützt Umwelt und Klima – es bietet Frauen die Möglichkeit, ein zusätzliches Einkommen zu erwirtschaften. Und Armut zu verringern. Grund genug, Entwicklung und Klima zusammen zu denken. Und zu handeln.

🌍🤝 #Klimaschutz mit #CoBenefits wirkt gleich mehrfach im globalen Süden, denn Emissionen werden gemindert und gleichzeitig Entwicklungswirkungen gefördert. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, müssen Regierungen und Institutionen, Wirtschaft und Organisationen zusammenarbeiten. Im Norden und im Süden. Denn Projektpartner:innen vor Ort kennen die Bedürfnisse und verbessern so mit privaten Mitteln aus den Industrienationen das Leben der Menschen. Grund genug, Entwicklung und Klima zusammen zu denken.

💡 Frauen leiden besonders stark unter den Folgen des Klimawandels. Gerade in Ländern des globalen Südens sind sie vielfach wirtschaftlich abhängig von natürlichen Ressourcen, während sie gesundheitlichen Risiken stärker ausgesetzt sind.

➡️ Grund genug, Entwicklung und Klima zusammen zu denken. Und zu handeln.

🌍 Einblicke in hochwertige #Klimaschutzprojekte in #Brasilien

📍 Dimitrios Karatassios, Referent Forschung & Beratung der Stiftung, besucht aktuell in Brasilien hochwertige Klimaschutzprojekte und spricht vor Ort mit Menschen über die #CoBenefits.

ℹ Wir freuen uns, Ihnen in den kommenden Wochen weitere Einblicke aus Brasilien zu geben und Menschen vor Ort zu Wort kommen zu lassen.

#EnvironmentalJusticeIsAClimateSolution: Some climate activists are frustrated by DWP’s plan to convert several power plants from burning fossil gas to #hydrogen — a top priority for the politically powerful labor unions whose members operate those plants, but a nonstarter for environmental justice groups who worry that hydrogen combustion would lead to continued #airpollution in low-income communities of color.
More broadly, DWP will need to make sure its clean energy programs bring proportionate benefits to low-income families and communities of color — which they historically have not, according to a recent report commissioned by the utility.

#UnGlamorousSolutions #cobenefits: Since the first phase, bus #traveltimes on that segment of Geary went down 18%, #TransitReliability improved by 37% and excessive #speeding dropped by 81%, according to the #SFMTA.

The #energytransition will benefit #nature. It will limit the #environmentalharms caused by producing and transporting millions of tons of #fossilfuels.

Multi-solving climate action is more effective than single-issue solutions. A new report shows that multi-solving approaches can address multiple challenges, such as health, equity and resilience. This means that multi-solving climate action can create more benefits and co-benefits for people and the planet.

It's great to see UN Climate Change addressing the impact of climate change on mental health. The indirect effects are often overlooked.

Including more green infrastructure in our urban environments provides co-benefits for mental and physical health and environmental health.

The @phaa has a policy position statement on Mental health and climate change. You can read it here https://www.phaa.net.au/documents/item/4637

We're updating this statement for release later this year.

"Our study is the first detailed national evaluation of the health effects of the CCC’s decarbonisation pathways. We show that net-zero is likely to lead to substantial benefits for public health – and that these benefits are greater with faster and more ambitious change."

@FfFMaHe @pascalgrothe @mitTempo30durchBerlin @fridaysjonas Das finden wir von #HealthForFuture sehr unterstützenswert, da aktive Mobilität besonders viele Vorteile im Sinne sogenannter #cobenefits bietet: Die Förderung von Fuß- und Radverkehr ist gut fürs Klima, reduziert die Luftverschutzung und ist durch mehr aktive Fortbewegung sehr gut für die #Gesundheit!

"We sit with the #farmers and build the corresponding #blockchain applications together," says Stefan Fölser, cofounder of CarboFarm in #Hungary in our interview:

CarboFarm aims to deliver #token economics in such a way that there will be an incentive for the farmers aside from certificates, by valueing the #cobenefits of carbon #farming beyond #soil #carbon like #biodiversity and #water infiltration.
