Another way of thinking for higher density, more sustainable cities.

EVENT | Peer-Learning: Multilateral Finance for Regenerative Economies

📅 Thu, 4 June | ⏰ 11 AM (UK time)

How can multilateral financial institutions help drive the transition to economies that are regenerative and distributive by design?

Join our Policy Peer-Learning series - a space to connect with fellow enthusiasts and explore how the seven ways of thinking can inform government policies and governance systems.

Together with Xiaoting Hou-Jones, DEAL's Government & Policy Lead, and Tatiana Kan, Finance and Planning Consultant at the Green Climate Fund, we'll explore the role of multilateral development banks and climate funds, and how they could be reimagined to better address today's interconnected ecological and social challenges.

Let’s get something sorted about recycling.

🔄 When you keep your recycling loose in the yellow lid bin, it means it’s ready for proper processing!

The bags you might use for recycling storage are considered soft plastics, which cause contamination and divert recyclables to landfill. Instead, keep it in a bin or box to throw them freely into your yellow lid bin.

Keeping them all loose ensures smoother sorting and processing. ♻️

"For decades, researchers have argued climate change adaptation is a collaborative and community-driven project."

How do we start the conversations needed in our region? Do you want to be part of them?

Research shows we need to air grievances, find areas of agreement between warring factions and allow affected people and planners to debate what’s fair.

The same applies here. Whether it’s public parks, verge gardens, commercial or private gardens, planting native plants is as much about shifting cultural norms as it is about increasing biodiversity.

Many public gardens that have been planted with local natives have been changing people's minds about what a beautiful garden should look like. Let's make climate-wise native plants the new normal in landscapes in our yards and in our communities. www.climatewiselandscaping.com
