Cintron-Rodriguez is a distinguished Puerto Rican climate scientist whose research focuses on the chemistry, transport, and impacts of air pollutants on the cryosphere and Small Island Developing States. With a robust commitment to understanding environmental issues that affect vulnerable regions, Isatis is dedicated to advancing climate governance and ethics, particularly within Latin America and the Caribbean. Her expertise enables her to effectively address the challenges posed by climate change in these areas. A passionate community organizer, Isatis has a long history of capacity building, working to expand civic space at both UNFCCC and national levels. She operates at the intersection of science, governance, and civic diplomacy, striving to create meaningful connections between citizens, policymakers, and scientists. Her approach emphasizes the importance of inclusive dialogue in tackling complex climate issues and fostering collaborative solutions. Isatis's achievements include winning the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow Award and receiving support from the Union of Concerned Scientists to facilitate citizens’ assemblies aimed at developing a community-led Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for Puerto Rico. This blueprint has not only enhanced local engagement but has also served as a model for coordinating citizen assemblies globally, thereby broadening opportunities for civic participation in climate action. Through her innovative work, Isatis continues to empower communities and promote sustainability on a global scale. #ClimateScience #EnvironmentalJustice #SustainableDevelopment #CivicEngagement #ClimateGovernance #SmallIslandDevelopingStates #WomenInScience #ClimateAction #CommunityEmpowerment #InclusiveDialogue #PuertoRico #CitizenParticipation #GlobalClimateLeadership

A real honour to address the island of Ireland’s Loughs Agency International Symposium in Derry today. Main points: Two global grand challenges shaping the planet: 1. climate change 2. global inequality. We need new international relations tools & models to mitigate both. Thats why need to move 'environmental peace building' from platitude to practice to policy - fast. The Loughs Agency was established under the Good Friday Agreement to manage the transboundary waters of Foyle and Carlingford. Great to see the Agency thriving and hosting these important international discussions.

As we mark Earth Day, HU remains committed to our mission of cultivating enduring peace and freedom by addressing human exploitation and violent conflict. Guided by our belief in the interconnectedness of global challenges, we recognize the vital intersections between climate issues and the issues we address, such as forced labor, peacebuilding, and racial justice. While our focus may not be directly on environmental initiatives, we acknowledge the imperative of joining efforts to address the climate crisis. #EarthDay #EarthDay2024

Climate solutions are within reach, yet the finance to bring them to life remains elusive and not nearly enough. There is a clear and urgent need for climate finance to be on everyone's top agenda. Last year, at COP28's inaugural Faith Pavilion, FFOP and Duke Divinity School launched a report with insights from leaders in faith and finance to explain how Muslims, Christians, and Jews are sitting on the cusp of potentially game-changing means of climate finance: religious philanthropy, and why it promises to open a new chapter in sustainable development and environmental stewardship. On 24th April 2024, FFOP is joined by our partners at Duke Divinity School, Abdullah T. Antepli and Norman Wirzba, as editors of this groundbreaking report, in conversation with select authors and industry experts Melissa Raphael Alberto Pallecchi and Hayu Prabowo to demystify the findings of the report, and to shed light on the intricate interplay between faith, finance and the future of our planet. Your questions are as valuable to us as our experts' insights. So join us for this critical conversation. To receive an invite and reminders for the event, please register via the link below.

“Genuine collaboration is about getting the right people in the room, co-developing a strategy and executing it together... Climate Catalyst is an incredible model for that - Nathaniel Keohane” We recently sat down with Nathaniel Keohane, the president of leading think tank Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), a key figure in the formation of Climate Catalyst and member of our Strategic Council. Nat is a seasoned economist with 20 years of energy and environmental policy experience in academia, government, and the nonprofit sector. Presented here are 5 key takeaways from this Q&A. We encourage you to dive deeper into the discussion linked below, featuring further insights on the importance of a market-based approach to climate policy in Asia, the current state of policy in the EU, how best climate philanthropy can unlock impactful solutions at scale and more! https://lnkd.in/dxbmMZkb
