The Envisioning Resilience initiative, led by the NAP Global Network and Lensational, empowers women in vulnerable communities in Jamaica to document and address climate vulnerabilities through professional photography skills and policy training. The photo essays created by participants have gained widespread media attention and are influencing the development and implementation of new climate policies in Jamaica. The initiative bridges the gap between technical planning and community experience, supporting the country's climate adaptation policy development in the face of increasing climate impacts. By highlighting women's experiences and priorities, the initiative is shifting the mindset on their role in climate adaptation and encouraging policymakers to see women as agents of change in addressing climate change.

Boron nitride nanotubes move lithium ions 31 times faster than expected
Researchers from Rutgers University and the University of Illinois Chicago have developed boron nitride membranes that can transport lithium ions 31 times faster than standard diffusion, as published in Nature Nanotechnology. These membranes can power small electronics using salt-solution gradients, with high power densities and energy-conversion efficiency. Potential applications include lithium recovery from waste batteries and blue energy generation from salt and fresh water convergence.

A shared vision, clear actions and a growing community: the next 20 years of locally led adaptation starts now | International Institute for Environment and Development
The roadmap for the future of community-based adaptation (CBA) includes centering Indigenous Peoples and local communities in planning, mainstreaming community priorities and data, increasing local agency for international organizations, co-development with national governments, and streamlining funding for impact. A shared vision statement for CBA for the next 20 years emphasizes empowering Indigenous Peoples and local communities for just and equitable climate action. Efforts to scale up locally-led climate action can be more effective if governments, funders, and communities collaborate, with a 'whole-of-society' approach involving public, private, and civil society actors crucial for building local resilience sustainably. These processes should directly contribute to global initiatives like the UNFCCC Global Stocktake to assess progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, as the next 20 years of climate action begin now with a clear vision, refined actions, and community involvement.

mCDR at Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW)
Ocean champions gathered in DC for Capitol Hill Ocean Week, focusing on ocean health, economy, science, and well-being of coastal communities, with a key topic being marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Discussions emphasized the need for intentional and responsible development of mCDR, learning from past mistakes and involving diverse voices in shaping the field. Policy solutions highlighted a bipartisan approach grounded in community input, with a focus on the cost of inaction in addressing climate challenges. The section also discussed the irreversible harm caused by greenhouse gas emissions and the necessity of science-driven climate solutions like mCDR, recognizing the potential of mCDR as a climate solution and the importance of community engagement in shaping its development. Additionally, the potential for carbon removal solutions to address past issues of racism and discrimination in conservation work was highlighted, with an emphasis on inclusive and diverse voices in decision-making processes and collaboration with project developers and policy makers for a more hopeful future.

African Civil Society Calls for Climate Justice Action and Increased Finance as UNFCCC SB64 Opens in Bonn – PACJA
African civil society organizations, represented by the PACJA, are urging a shift from climate promises to the implementation of Climate Justice actions to address urgent realities facing vulnerable communities in Africa. They are concerned about the exclusion of Loss and Damage and National Adaptation Plans from the proposed agenda of the UNFCCC's SB64, emphasizing the need to address the needs of communities already experiencing climate impacts. The PACJA's three key priorities at SB64 are ensuring climate finance delivery, advancing a just transition for Africa, and placing adaptation and resilience at the center of global climate action. They are calling for developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the Paris Agreement, support industrialization and energy access in Africa, and strengthen support for adaptation efforts in the region.

Expert Opinion: Africa’s climate lessons for the world
Professor Mabhaudhi highlights Africa's experience in managing climate volatility and argues for the continent to lead global conversations on climate and health. Indigenous knowledge, integrated water-energy-food management, and community-based approaches are key to practical climate solutions. The article calls for greater investment in African-led climate and health research, early warning systems, and long-term development financing to address the severe impacts of climate change in Africa, despite the continent contributing only 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
