How we are looking at a ground monitoring tool measuring our impact on the earth

This inspiring story comes from the Winds of Change Program by Kids in LET, shared by Dr. Irene Udebuana, one of the speakers from our Circular Economy & Social Inclusion Series. A true glimpse of how the next generation is shaping climate innovation.

? Online Launch Webinar | From Pledges to Pathways: Aligning NDCs and LT-LEDS to accelerate global climate action

? Date: Monday, 21st July 2025
? Time: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (CEST)
? Venue: Online

Hosted by the Global Green Growth Institute, facilitated by GGKP, this event highlights the importance of aligning Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) to effectively address climate change and achieve the ambitious goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and enhancing climate resilience in line with the Paris Agreement.

Throughout the session, the newly published guide “Aligning NDCs and LT-LEDS: A step-by-step guide for practitioners”, jointly developed by the GIZ SPA programme and GGGI, will be launched and presented. In addition, the panel discussion will feature insights of climate experts from UNFCCC, GIZ, NDC Partnership, and government representatives.

? Join us to explore how aligning NDCs and LT-LEDS can foster successful and credible climate action framed by long-term national strategies!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been thinking a lot about home energy storage lately and was wondering:

1) Do any of you currently use a solar battery at home (like a Tesla Powerwall, second-life battery setup, etc.)?

2) If yes, how’s your experience been — anything you’d do differently?

3) If not, is there a particular reason why (cost, complexity, space, not worth it in your case, etc.)?

Just trying to understand what the barriers or motivations are for people trying to be more energy-independent.
Appreciate any thoughts or stories!

Hello friends! I look forward to communicating with you....

At the heart of every high-performance composite structure lies an unsung hero—the core material. Much like the hidden framework within architecture, core materials serve as the silent strength behind lightweight yet incredibly stiff designs. From aerospace components slicing through the skies to cutting-edge marine vessels riding the waves, core materials are the foundation that allows composites to defy gravity and endure extreme forces. But what exactly are these mysterious materials that turn resin and fiber into marvels of modern engineering?

Seeking Suggestions!

Sustainability has led to the emergence of many new professions across industries. Can you suggest some name of professions (list) that have evolved due to sustainability challenges and initiatives?

Your expertise is needed on emerging trends in circular solutions for wood waste!
We’re excited to invite you to participate in the Horizon Scanning survey for the HEU Wood2Wood Project ? https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/3E54D528D014DC2B

Why does this matter?
Wood waste from construction, demolition, and furniture is a growing challenge. The Wood2Wood project is tackling this head-on by exploring adaptive cyber-physical sorting systems, bioremediation technologies, energy valorisation, and digital product passports to track materials across value chains. But to drive real impact, we need your insights.

What’s this survey about?
We’re mapping emerging trends that will shape the future of circular wood waste solutions - and their impact on labour markets, education systems, and organisations. Your expertise in sustainability, innovation, policy, and socio-technical systems can help us identify the skills and strategies needed for a successful circular transition.

Why you?
If you work in circular economy, waste management, sustainable design, or future skills development, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Your input will help shape policies, business models, and workforce strategies for a more sustainable future.

Take the survey now and share your vision!
