An international finance package co-financed by EBRD, IFC - International Finance Corporation & Black Sea Trade & Development Bank (BSTDB) and supported by the European Union, the UK and CIF's Clean Tech Fund will bring €157 million of project finance debt to a private #renewable project that aims to boost Ukraine’s energy security. The plants with a combined capacity of 147 MW are expected to generate at least 380 GWh of #renewable zero carbon electricity annually, resulting in carbon dioxide emission savings of approximately 245,000 tons per year. https://lnkd.in/eFXV4VfJ

World Economic Forum's study - "Business on the Edge: Building Industry Resilience to Climate Hazards" – explores the impact of extreme heat, wildfires, drought, water stress, tropical cyclones, coastal flooding and fluvial flooding on fixed business assets in 20 industries. The study shows climate resilience is no longer a nice-to-have but a fiduciary responsibility for boards when evaluating corporate risk. https://lnkd.in/gDYkzrG4

Fascinating look at how bees can play a role in easing conflicts between elephants and farmers in Kenya. To prevent elephants from entering farmlands, a ring of bees may very well be the deterrent. The bees repel the elephants, safeguarding the livelihoods of farmers, keeping farmers out of harm’s way of charging elephants, and saving crops from destruction. This is particularly beneficial to women, who are often the ones working in the farms and left to scare away the elephants. What is also a benefit is how the production of honey by the bees becomes another product farmers can sell for additional income. https://lnkd.in/eERv6GyG

📢 NEW research from Eawag and University of Zurich shows humans are driving #biodiversity loss among all species across the planet. On average, the number of species at human-impacted sites was almost 20% lower than at sites unaffected by humans. 🦎 Reptiles, 🐸amphibians and 🐻 mammals were affected especially severely. The analysis covered five drivers of decline: habitat change, direct exploitation of resources (such as hunting or fishing), climate change, invasive species and pollution. https://lnkd.in/eTFa9xMG Florian Altermatt Lynn Dicks University of Cambridge Alexandre Antonelli Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

The 🛳️ shipping 🛳️ industry stands poised to pioneer a new era of #climatefinance. International Maritime Organization members are nearing agreement on a carbon levy on shipping emissions, with a decision slated for April 2025. If enacted, this would be the first universal tax on an international polluting sector. The World Bank estimates this levy could raise $60 billion annually, channeling vital funds into climate #adaptation and mitigation for vulnerable nations like Kenya. https://lnkd.in/dPCfcVK5
