Are you or do you know creative 14-30 year olds with something to say about the climate crisis?

#CreateCOP27 is an annual art contest designed to raise awareness about the important climate change-related decisions that need to be taken by leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference, COP27 being held in Egypt in November 2022.

Submissions due by 16 October. Find out more about how to enter and the contest prizes.

A Plea to the UN for International Competition for Global Cooling

It is necessary to honor those countries that are working to save the world and to encourage others to protect the environment. I propose that the United Nations establish a climate dashboard for international competitions to reduce CO2 emissions.
The dashboard would contain information about how much progress each member state has made toward meeting the Paris Agreement temperature target. The data should be updated regularly, for example, at every season. The dashboard would be available on the Internet so that everyone can see which nations are committing suicide and which are saving humanity.
An annual report would be published on each member state's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The report ranks each member's contribution to net-zero emissions, such as each country's carbon footprint per capita, each country's CO2 emissions reduction per capita as a percentage of the global reduction per capita, etc. The countries that make outstanding contributions will be invited to share their success stories with the world at the COP meetings.
I believe that such climate competitions will significantly raise public awareness of the climate crisis and encourage people to act to save their future.
Nations can also create similar dashboards with the data from their provinces, cities, regions, and even big polluters, to show who are the good, the bad and the ugly.

Resilient Cities With Nature-based Solutions

Climate Resilient Water Supply

In the conditions of the energy crisis, energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies are becoming increasingly important. For the aluminum industry, the GreenAlum project has developed technologies that reduce electricity consumption by 30% and prevent huge carbon dioxide emissions. The second area of technology is the processing of a huge amount of accumulated alumina production waste. The technology allows you to get huge benefits from obtaining raw materials for the production of iron, titanium, rare earth materials.

Our Future Water has collaborated with Denmark’s State of Green to publish the new white paper ‘Urban Water Management: Creating Climate-Resilient Cities’.

California is moving full steam ahead to phasing out all sales of new fossil fuel cars in the state by 2035.

The new rule will “ensure that consumers can successfully replace their traditional combustion vehicles with new or used [zero-emission vehicles] and plug-in hybrids that meet their transportation needs"

Urban water security: The role of demand management

World Water Week 2022 begins today!

And our latest #GGKPInsights from Our Future Water's Robert Brears and SDG Monitor's Victoria Madsén highlights why Europe needs to transition to a circular water economy — for the benefit of people, planet, and business.

What does circular water management look like?
? Reduce water consumption
? Reuse water
? Recycle water
? Recover materials from wastewater
? Regenerate natural capital
