Real Solutions, Mapped from the Ground Up

Global Forest Coalition - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 04:35

GFC members and allies are helping to build a new gender-just map of community-led solutions for forests, people and the planet.

What does a real solution to the climate and biodiversity crises look like?

It might be an agroecological farming system rooted in traditional knowledge. It might be a community defending its territory from extractive industries. It might be women organising to protect forests, strengthen food sovereignty or build more equitable forms of community governance.

And it is not just about what communities are doing. It is also about what makes these solutions possible, and just as importantly, what stands in their way.

These questions are at the heart of a new Gender-Just Real Solutions Map for Forests and Communities being developed by the Global Forest Coalition (GFC), with support from Bread for the World (Brot für die Welt) and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (RLF). Over three online sessions held in July and August, GFC members and allies from across the Global South have been working together to shape the ideas, criteria and methodology that will underpin the map.

The process began in July with a discussion about what a false solution is, and what makes a solution real. Participants shared examples from their own territories and explored how community-led alternatives differ from false solutions that can reproduce environmental destruction, inequality and corporate control. Importantly, the group agreed that the map should focus on concrete, localised practices rooted in particular territories, rather than treating “solutions” as generic or easily scalable commodities.

The second session put gender justice at the centre. Rather than treating gender as simply a question of whether women are represented or participate, participants explored who does the work, including unpaid care and domestic work; who makes decisions; who controls land, resources and income; and what would make an initiative genuinely gender-just. The discussion also considered how the map itself can challenge the underlying colonial and patriarchal systems that shape relationships between people, territories and nature.

As Jaqueline Santos of FASE, a GFC member group in Brazil, explained, women in Pará play a leading role in agriculture and in protecting their territories. She also highlighted the importance of women’s groups and support networks in rural communities, where women facing violence can struggle to access formal systems of support.

“Their perspective, their understanding of what constitutes a territory, and their knowledge of what must be preserved and protected are given much greater prominence and attention by women,” said Santos. “In Brazil, we have a situation where it’s very difficult to report violence in the city. In rural areas, it’s very difficult to file a report (…) There’s an entire system that doesn’t support women who have been victims of violence. The state is designed for men. We work intensively on the issue of violence with support groups. There must be women’s groups in these communities, because there’s no space for women in groups where men participate,” she said. 

The third session then turned to a question that is crucial for understanding how real solutions can flourish: what conditions do they require?

Participants discussed ecological, social, economic, political and cultural conditions, including community organising, legal frameworks, self-determination, autonomous governance, community-led financing and gender-responsive practices. They also identified barriers ranging from extractive projects and land grabbing to patriarchal policies, colonial legal frameworks, bureaucracy, lack of funding and the criminalisation of environmental defenders.

Ariella Kabunga of the Integrated Program for the Development of the Pygmy People in Kivu (PIDP) stressed that gender justice requires more than gender-just laws on paper. Women must be able to participate meaningfully in decision-making, influence decisions and take on positions of responsibility.

“We need political and legal frameworks to ensure equal rights for women. But it is not enough to have gender-just laws and policies. It is also necessary to ensure the dissemination, application, and monitoring implementation at the national, local, and community levels. Community organizations and structures must integrate gender into their policies, programs, budgets and decision-making mechanisms,” Kabunga said. “Another fundamental condition is the effective participation of women in decision-making processes. It is not enough to invite women to a meeting. They must have the opportunity to express themselves, influence decisions, and hold positions of responsibility.”

These discussions are now helping to build the map itself. The first set of inclusion and exclusion criteria is being shared with participants for validation and further input, while GFC and the Critical Geography Collective (CGC) are also working with participants to develop a protocol for protecting information and safeguarding data.

The emerging methodology will ensure that the map is not simply a collection of points on a screen. Each entry will tell a story: What is the initiative? Why is it a real solution? Who is involved? Where and when is it happening? And how has it been made possible? Users will be able to explore different kinds of initiatives, from agroecology and forest protection to traditional knowledge, sustainable livelihoods and territories free from extractivism, as well as the conditions that have enabled them to flourish.

The map will therefore be a space to see and learn from each other’s experiences, forms of resistance and social action, rather than imposing a single model of what a solution should look like. As the project’s methodology notes, real solutions are diverse, territorial and shaped by the communities themselves. The map is intended to grow from that diversity and remain open to continued revision and learning.

Ultimately, the goal is to make visible what too often remains invisible: the people, practices, rights and conditions that already offer pathways towards protecting forests, biodiversity and communities, without relying on markets to put a price on nature.

The Gender-Just Real Solutions Map for Forests and Communities is expected to launch in November 2026, with the database continuing to grow beyond the initial launch.

Stay tuned — the map is taking shape.

A map built collectively

The Gender-Just Real Solutions Map is being developed collaboratively with the Critical Geography Collective (CGC) and GFC members and allies working with communities and movements across the Global South. Organisations participating in the design of the map, its criteria and its initial entries include:

Have a real solution to share? 

We are also inviting organisations and community groups to suggest initiatives or projects that they think meet the map’s criteria. If you know of a community-led initiative that could belong on the map, please contact Valentina Figuera Martínez, GFC’s Gender Justice and Forests Campaign Coordinator, who is leading the project, at valentinafmartinez@globalforestcoalition.org.

At regional summit, Pacific islands ask for COP31 support for clean energy and finance

Climate Change News - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 03:00

At a key leaders’ summit in Palau, Pacific island nations burdened by worsening climate change impacts and costly fossil fuel imports called for November’s COP31 climate summit to deliver finance to help the region transition to renewable energy and build more resilient communities.

Heads of government from the 18-member Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) – which includes COP31 co-president Australia – met in Palau’s capital Koror for a week-long summit, where they demanded access to climate finance, ocean action and a regional boost for renewables at COP31.

Palau’s president Surangel Whipps Jr. said during a plenary session that the Pacific must focus on delivering climate and ocean commitments. “It will require greater regional leadership, stronger regional coordination and, above all, unity of purpose,” he said.

The meeting, which ended last Friday, was marked by the absence of some leaders – among them the heads of state of the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji, which will host a preparatory session for COP31 in October (referred to as the pre-COP31). There were also tensions over Taiwan’s participation, with China objecting to its presence as an observer.

The forum’s final declaration, published after it ended and signed by all its members, reaffirms that climate change is the “single greatest threat to the security, livelihoods and wellbeing of Pacific peoples”, and notes “the importance of a focused, high-level declaration” at the pre-COP31 to build “political momentum towards COP31”.

    Australia and Pacific islands have invited world leaders to attend the pre-COP31 gathering, which will be held in Fiji and Tuvalu from October 5 to 8. While usually a technical meeting for negotiators, the island nations aim to issue a political declaration at the gathering calling for strong outcomes in Türkiye.

    Chris Bowen, Australia’s climate minister and COP31 president of negotiations, said in a speech during the Pacific forum that his country is “determined to use COP31 to progress the agenda to make it easier for countries to access the climate finance they need”.

    “We won’t miss the opportunity to ensure COP31 is a Pacific COP. Not just because of the location of pre-COP but because of the agenda we are shaping through the Action Agenda at COP31,” he said.

    The Action Agenda is a large portfolio of climate initiatives and coalitions uniting governments, businesses and civil society outside of the formal negotiations on everything from health to methane emissions.

    Renewable energy investment plan

    Announced a year ago, the island nations launched a $14-billion investment plan for a “100% Renewable Blue Pacific” at the forum in Palau. The plan lists strategic projects that would reduce the region’s high dependence on fossil fuel imports, whose soaring costs have become a major burden since the Iran war.

    The projects include a $52-million programme managed by Australia to develop off-grid renewables in remote communities across the Pacific, as well as a $100-million blended finance fund aimed at supporting private-sector investments in wind and solar, among others.

    Currently, some countries in the Pacific are spending up to a quarter of their GDP importing diesel to power electricity generation, according to a new report by the University of New South Wales in Australia. The investment plan launched at the forum aims to reduce these costs by adding 2.2 gigawatts of renewable generation and around 9 gigawatt hours of electricity storage.

    To channel funds into the region, the plan also highlights the role of the recently established Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF), a regional fund that seeks to swiftly disburse funds to climate-vulnerable communities at the local level. Bowen said he would promote the facility to world leaders attending COP31 and “ask for their support”.

    Separately, the forum endorsed the Belau Declaration which emphasises the need to keep the 1.5C Paris Agreement temperature goal alive. A UN report last week showed that overshooting this limit is now inevitable, but deep emissions cuts could still bring global temperatures back down by the end of the century.

    Pacific nations expect to rally support for this declaration at the pre-COP, with Fiji’s climate minister Lynda Tabuya saying in a statement: “Palau is where we build the political mandate. Pre-COP is where we take it to the world.”

    The political declaration also says that countries must accelerate the global transition away from fossil fuels “towards a renewable energy future”, and calls for greater recognition of the importance of ocean health in addressing climate change.

    UN sets out narrow path back to 1.5C warming after inevitable overshoot

    As part of the forum’s outcomes in Palau, countries also noted Tuvalu’s efforts to host the second global conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels, which will gather government representatives in April next year to follow up on this year’s inaugural conference in Santa Marta, Colombia.

    Speaking to journalists at the forum, Vanuatu’s climate minister Ralph Regenvanu questioned Australia’s role in talks about phasing out fossil fuels at COP31, adding that “the very least a country like Australia should be doing is stopping future expansion, and it’s not doing that”. During the PIF, the country approved the extension of a major mine that digs and exports coal for steel-making, giving it permission to keep producing until 2055.

    Rising seas trigger “development emergency”

    As leaders met in one of the world’s regions most threatened by sea-level rise, UN Secretary-General António Guterres released a new report warning that rising seas are now “one of the most profound threats to populations around the world in developed and developing states alike”.

    Presenting the report at UN headquarters in New York, Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development Navid Hanif said rising sea levels are not a “future risk any more” but an accelerating “development emergency” that could hinder progress in vulnerable regions like the Pacific and least developed countries.

    The report warns that seas are rising “faster than at any point in recorded history”, with 2024 setting a new record of 5.9 millimetres. This has been driven by human-induced climate change mainly through a process known as thermal expansion – where rising heat causes the ocean to expand – as well as the melting of ice sheets.

    Pacific islands seek backing for new regional fund ahead of COP31

    The report notes that about 1.2 billion people around the world are exposed to coastal flooding, and says some low-lying islands in Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Fiji are already facing forced relocations. Globally, rising seas could cost more than $1 trillion every year by 2050, it adds.

    “We cannot stop sea level rise this century but we can determine how much worse it becomes. About half a metre of sea level rise is already locked in in this century because of warming that has already occurred, but beyond that our choices matter enormously,” Hanif told journalists.

    Bill Hare, CEO of think-tank Climate Analytics, said the report was a “wake-up call” to the leaders of high-emitting countries that their failure to cut carbon emissions is “creating major risks for the future alongside the impacts we can already observe around us”.

    Guterres is set to host a high-level meeting on addressing the threat of sea level rise this month during the UN General Assembly, where countries are expected to adopt a declaration that calls for stronger action, expanded access to finance and “ongoing dialogue” to tackle the issue.

    Legislative Roundup: Two Key Water Bills Advance to Governor’s Desk as Two Bad Bills Are Defeated

    Restore The San Francisco Bay Area Delta - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 01:22

    Dear friends,

    With the conclusion of the 2026 legislative session on August 31, 2026, we are excited to share the many wins you all made possible through your constant engagement over the past several months, including two bills passing to the Governor’s desk and two bad bills defeated. 

    This year, AB 2026 and AB 2215 were successfully killed, and SB 872 and AB 2218 successfully passed out of the legislature to the Governor’s desk.

    Read more about each bill and how you can help ensure the Governor signs SB 872 and AB 2218 into law!

    Help Support SB 872: The Delta Levees and Canal Subsidence Fund

    SB 872, a bill designed to safeguard California’s water supply for decades to come, has been unanimously approved by the Legislature. 

    The bill brings together Northern and Southern California legislators, environmental groups including Restore the Delta, and water interests to protect the state’s primary water source.

    If signed into law by Governor Newsom, SB 872 would address two major threats to California’s water supply: aging levees in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and sinking canals in the State Water Project (SWP). Many Delta levees are at risk of failure, raising the threat of catastrophic flooding and ecosystem damage, while sinking land is jeopardizing SWP canals and reliable water deliveries.

    Now that SB 872 has moved to the Governor’s desk for signature, we need your help to sign this bill into law!

    Two Easy Ways You Can Take Action:

    1. Call the Governor at (916) 445-2841, urging his signature on SB 872.

    When calling the Governor’s Office, please tell them: 

    • As a constituent, I urge you to sign SB 872 into law.
    • You support advancing legislation that prioritizes safeguarding California’s water supplies, protecting critical infrastructure, and preparing the state’s water system for future challenges.

    2. Alternatively, you can also write to the Governor’s Office, asking for their support on SB 872. 

    • Click this link to send a comment urging the Governor’s Signature on SB 872.

    Support AB 2218

    Help Support AB 2218: Water policy: California Native American tribes

    On February 19, 2026, Assemblymember Kalra introduced AB 2218, the Indigenous Water Rights Bill sponsored by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and the Karuk Tribe. 

    AB 2218 would establish a clear statewide policy directive acknowledging and seeking to remedy the inequities inflicted upon Tribes in California through historical state-sanctioned acts of termination, removal, and forced assimilation.

    The bill directs relevant state agencies, including the Department of Water Resources and the State Water Board, to incorporate this policy into water rights decisions, regulatory actions, permitting, and grantmaking to address identified inequities. Recognizing historic harms and directing state agencies to center Tribal equity in water policy is not simply a symbolic act; it is a pathway toward stronger relationships, more inclusive decision-making, and better outcomes for the ecosystems we all depend on.

    Now that AB 2218 has moved to the Governor’s desk for signature, we need your help to sign this bill into law!

    Two Easy Ways You Can Take Action:

    1. Call the Governor at (916) 445-2841 urging his signature on AB 2218.

    When calling the Governor’s Office, please tell them: 

    • As a constituent, I urge you to sign AB 2218 into law.
    • AB 2218 supports the State’s progress towards equitable water management.
    • AB 2218 is an important step toward addressing inequities affecting California Native American Tribes in state water policy and ensuring Tribal interests are meaningfully considered in decisions affecting water.

    2. Alternatively, you can also write to the Governor’s Office, asking for their support on AB 2218. 

    • Click this link to send a comment urging the Governor’s Signature on AB 2218.

    Update on AB 2026: Water diversion: groundwater recharge: permit

    AB 2026, a bill that would have created broad new pathways to divert already over-allocated surface water and weakened public and environmental review, was held in Senate Appropriations, effectively killing the bill. 

    Restore the Delta supports responsible groundwater recharge, but AB 2026 is the wrong approach. We will continue to advocate for groundwater recharge policies guided by science and administered through the State Water Board’s established regulatory framework, not broad statutory shortcuts that bypass water-rights, fish and wildlife protections, and the public interest.

    Update on AB 2215: Water rights: permits: State Water Project

    AB 2215, a bill that would have circumvented existing State Water Board Processes for the benefit of the Delta Conveyance Project, was pulled before being heard in the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee. 

    AB 2215 was an attempt by the State Water Contractors as a legislative solution to DWR’s expired water rights for the State Water Project and the DCP, rather than through proper procedure at the State Water Board. The Delta is a severely over-allocated system. Any new water infrastructure proposing to increase diversions must go through the regulatory process to protect Delta communities, ecosystem, and local fishing and recreation economies.

    Campaigners launch fundraiser for legal challenge on methane pollution

    DRILL OR DROP? - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 01:19

    Campaigners gathered outside the Horndean B oil site in Hampshire yesterday (6 September 2026) to launch a fundraiser for a legal challenge over methane pollution from onshore oil and gas sites in the UK.

    The Horndean site, operated by Star Energy, is at the centre of the latest legal campaign by the Weald Action Group (WAG), the network fighting expansion of oil and gas operations in southern England for more than a decade.

    WAG is now focussing on how methane emissions from oil and gas sites are regulated.

    It said it would use a combination of legal action, investigations, technical research and field data to expose regulatory gaps and systematic failures that allow unchecked methane emissions.

    In 2024, WAG secured a landmark victory at the UK Supreme Court with the Finch Judgment, which changed the legal landscape for fossil fuel planning decisions by requiring the assessment of downstream emissions from the use of oil and gas.

    Methane, regarded as a super climate pollutant, is more than 80 times more potent for global warming than carbon dioxide (CO2) over 20 years.

    Unlike CO2, methane breaks down in the atmosphere within a decade. Urgent action has a real chance of slowing warming in our lifetimes.

    WAG said the focus of its climate litigation was to help secure faster and more effective action on reducing methane emissions across the UK.

    If successful, the group said cases could limit methane emissions in Environment Agency permits issued to oil and gas sites in the UK and to ensure that the UK onshore industry was held accountable.

    WAG’s Lorraine Inglis:

    “This summer we’ve experienced severe drought and wildfires in communities across the UK, a stark reminder that climate breakdown isn’t a distant threat, it’s happening here and now. Every site like Horndean that continues to emit methane makes the crisis worse, and fixing the leaks is one of the fastest, cheapest wins we have in this crisis.”

    WAG organised ”Cake at the Gate” at the Horndean site to mark the launch of the fundraiser. This repeated a popular event at previous protest campaigns at Horse Hill in Surrey and Broadford Bridge in West Sussex.

    WAG campaigner Emily Mott said:

    “It was a joy to catch up with climate campaigners from across the South East, all working toward the same goal: averting the worst of global warming.

    “Every tonne of methane kept out of the atmosphere makes a difference, and the onshore oil and gas industry has a real opportunity to act. Weald Action Group’s Clean Air Clear Future campaign is calling for an end to routine venting and flaring, and faster, more frequent leak detection and repair.

    “We are also calling on the government to include emissions from the onshore sector in their Methane Action Plan. “

    Game Bertema Mitologi Royalgacor Masih Kuat, Lihat Peran Gates of Olympus

    Socialist Resurgence - Mon, 09/07/2026 - 01:19

    Petir, mahkota emas, batu permata, serta sosok Zeus masih memiliki tempat khusus di tengah munculnya ratusan konsep permainan baru. Royalgacor memperlihatkan bagaimana tema klasik tersebut belum kehilangan identitas. Salah satu nama paling mudah dikenali datang dari Gates of Olympus, permainan berlatar mitologi Yunani dengan pendekatan modern.

    Popularitas konsep dewa Yunani tidak hanya bertumpu pada karakter terkenal. Ada perpaduan antara simbol, atmosfer, efek suara, mekanisme, serta tampilan antarmuka. Kombinasi tersebut membuat tema mitologi terasa relevan meski industri terus menghadirkan gaya baru.

    Mitologi Royalgacor Masih Kuat di Tengah Tema Modern

    Tema modern kini semakin luas. Ada permainan bernuansa anime, budaya pop, futuristik, makanan, sampai dunia urban. Meski demikian, kategori mitologi tetap mempunyai ciri visual sulit tertukar.

    Pengguna dapat mengenalinya melalui kuil, awan, petir, artefak kuno, patung, atau figur dewa. Elemen tersebut menciptakan konteks sejak layar pertama muncul. Royalgacor dapat memanfaatkan karakter kuat semacam ini untuk membedakan kategori permainan tanpa membutuhkan deskripsi terlalu panjang.

    Mitologi Royalgacor masih kuat bukan semata karena tampil megah. Cerita legendaris mempunyai referensi budaya luas sehingga lebih cepat dipahami oleh audiens. Zeus, misalnya, identik dengan petir serta kekuasaan. Identitas tersebut langsung membangun ekspektasi terhadap suasana permainan.

    Gates of Olympus Membawa Zeus Sebagai Pusat Identitas

    Lihat peran Gates of Olympus dari karakter utamanya. Zeus tidak ditempatkan sebagai dekorasi kecil di sudut layar. Figur tersebut menjadi pusat komunikasi visual sekaligus pengikat tema.

    Latar langit, pilar bergaya Yunani, warna emas, batu permata, serta efek petir memperkuat konsep Olympus. Hasilnya adalah identitas permainan konsisten dari satu elemen menuju elemen berikutnya.

    Royalgacor melalui permainan semacam ini dapat menunjukkan perbedaan antara tema tempelan dengan tema terintegrasi. Gates of Olympus memakai mitologi sebagai fondasi presentasi, bukan sekadar nama.

    Mengapa Gates of Olympus Mudah Dikenali?

    Brand recall dalam permainan digital sering muncul dari elemen sederhana. Karakter utama, palet warna, simbol khas, serta animasi tertentu dapat membuat satu judul lebih cepat dikenali di antara banyak thumbnail.

    Gates of Olympus mempunyai beberapa penanda tersebut sekaligus. Sosok Zeus berambut putih menjadi identitas utama, sementara ornamen emas serta atmosfer langit membangun karakter pendukung.

    ElemenPeran dalam Gates of OlympusDampak terhadap Identitas TemaZeusKarakter sentralMemperkuat referensi mitologi YunaniPetirEfek visual khasMemberi kesan energi dan kekuatanOlympusLatar utamaMenegaskan dunia para dewaWarna emasAksen dominanMembentuk atmosfer megahBatu permataSimbol permainanMemberikan kontras pada area utamaPilar klasikDetail lingkunganMenghubungkan visual dengan Yunani kuno

    Susunan tersebut membuat identitas Gates of Olympus tidak bergantung pada satu komponen. Setiap bagian mempunyai fungsi berbeda, tetapi tetap mengarah pada konsep serupa.

    Peran Gates of Olympus Tidak Berhenti pada Visual

    Tema kuat akan kehilangan daya tarik apabila mekanisme terasa terpisah dari presentasinya. Gates of Olympus mencoba menghubungkan keduanya melalui efek karakter, perubahan visual, simbol pengali, serta respons animasi ketika fitur tertentu muncul.

    Koneksi ini penting karena pengguna tidak hanya melihat gambar statis. Mereka membaca perubahan layar sebagai informasi mengenai apa sedang terjadi.

    Animasi Membantu Membentuk Ritme Permainan

    Efek petir atau gerakan Zeus memberikan penekanan terhadap momen tertentu. Dari perspektif desain antarmuka, animasi tersebut berfungsi sebagai feedback visual.

    Namun efek dramatis bukan bukti hasil tertentu akan muncul. Animasi tetap perlu dibedakan dari mekanisme matematis permainan. Tampilan dapat memperkuat pengalaman, tetapi tidak menjadi dasar akurat untuk memprediksi hasil putaran berikutnya.

    Pemisahan ini membuat pembahasan Royalgacor lebih informatif. Pengguna dapat memahami estetika tanpa mencampurkannya dengan anggapan mengenai pola kemenangan.

    Gates of Olympus Menunjukkan Cara Tema Lama Tetap Relevan

    Kekuatan mitologi justru terletak pada kemampuannya beradaptasi. Cerita berusia ribuan tahun dapat dikemas melalui ilustrasi digital, efek suara modern, animasi responsif, serta mekanisme kontemporer.

    Lihat peran Gates of Olympus dalam konteks tersebut. Permainan ini mengambil Zeus dan Olympus sebagai fondasi lama, kemudian membungkusnya memakai bahasa visual lebih sesuai dengan layar digital.

    Pendekatan serupa menjelaskan alasan Mitologi Royalgacor masih kuat meski tren desain terus berubah. Tema tidak perlu selalu baru untuk terasa relevan. Cara penyajian justru memegang peran besar.

    Royalgacor Melihat Mitologi Sebagai Identitas, Bukan Hiasan

    Gates of Olympus memperlihatkan satu prinsip penting dalam pengembangan tema permainan: karakter kuat harus terhubung dengan lingkungan, simbol, animasi, serta mekanisme presentasi. Jika hubungan tersebut konsisten, sebuah judul lebih mudah memiliki identitas sendiri.

    Royalgacor dapat menempatkan permainan mitologi sebagai kategori dengan karakter jelas di tengah katalog modern. Pengguna tidak hanya menemukan Zeus atau kuil Yunani, tetapi juga melihat bagaimana cerita klasik diterjemahkan menjadi pengalaman digital.

    Pada akhirnya, Mitologi Royalgacor masih kuat karena tema tersebut menawarkan sesuatu melampaui dekorasi. Gates of Olympus menjadi contoh bagaimana legenda lama dapat memperoleh wajah baru tanpa kehilangan ciri dasarnya. Di tengah persaingan tema semakin ramai, identitas semacam itulah yang membuat sebuah permainan tetap mudah dikenali.

    ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA — September 7, 2026 — The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), the continent’s largest civil society movement working on food systems, food sovereignty and agroecology, is set to open today its Continental Convening on Strengthening African Civil Society Climate Action on Food Systems and Agriculture Towards COP31 and COP32. Organised by AFSA in collaboration with the Ethiopian Ministry of Planning and Development, the three-day gathering runs from September 7 to 9, 2026, at the Inter Luxury Hotel in Addis Ababa, and is shaping up to be one of the continent’s most significant climate convenings this year, bringing together farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk, indigenous communities, youth and women’s networks, researchers, negotiators, government officials and policymakers from across Africa.

    Government officials and policymakers are integral participants in the Convening, not merely guests at its opening. The programme’s official opening features H.E. Dr. Fitsum Assefa, Ethiopia’s Minister for Planning and Development, delivering the official opening address, alongside remarks from H.E. Demeke Mekonnen, Nutrition Ambassador and former Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia. A keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN). Government representatives continue to participate alongside civil society throughout the three days, including a dedicated Day Two panel with government representatives on national priorities for COP31 and COP32.

    Addis Ababa carries particular weight for this gathering: the city is set to host COP32, bringing the United Nations Climate Change Conference back to African soil once again. This Convening marks the formal start of AFSA’s process to build a unified African position, bringing civil society and government together, ahead of COP31 and laying the groundwork for COP32, developed by the communities already living the climate crisis and advancing the solutions.

    Over three days, delegates, government representatives and policymakers will address the issues shaping Africa’s climate future together: adaptation and the Global Goal on Adaptation, climate finance, a Just Transition for the continent, and agriculture’s place within the UNFCCC process. Agroecology will sit at the center of the discussions, reflecting a decade of evidence from across Africa that farmer-led, ecologically grounded food systems are not a fallback option but a credible pathway to cooling the planet, restoring degraded land, and feeding communities with dignity. The Convening builds on AFSA’s Agroecology4Climate Action campaign, running continentally since 2019 under AFSA’s Climate Change and Agroecology Working Group.

    “For too long, Africa’s response to the climate crisis has been shaped far from the communities who live it every day. This Convening is Africa defining its own terms of engagement, grounded in the knowledge of the farmers, pastoralists and indigenous communities who are already building the solutions. Agroecology is not a fallback; it is Africa’s most credible pathway to a just and livable future, and it will be at the center of what we carry from Addis Ababa to COP32.”

    — Dr. Million Belay, AFSA General Coordinator

    “Africa cannot afford another climate process where our voices arrive only after the decisions have been made. Over these three days, we are building a unified continental position, rooted in agroecology and in the lived realities of the people who feed this continent, so that our negotiators walk into COP 31 AND COP32 carrying the mandate of Africa’s own communities.”

    — Karen Nekesa, AFSA Climate Change and Agroecology Working Group Chair

    The Convening will close with a unified African civil society position and a coordinated roadmap toward COP32. AFSA is inviting media, partners and the public to follow proceedings live across its Social Media Channelschannels on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and YouTube, and to join the conversation using #Agroecology4Climate, #AfricaClimateConvening, #COP31 and #COP32.

    SwitchedOn Podcast: How retailers are standing in the way of cheaper power

    Renew Economy - Sun, 09/06/2026 - 22:15

    Tim Ryan argues Australia is trying to build a 21st-century, consumer-led electricity system while preserving retailers as compulsory ‘middlemen.’ But retailers are businesses that have little incentive to help households use less electricity or pay less for it.

    Slot Maxwin Punya Wajah Baru, Simak yang Sedang Mencuri Sorotannya

    Socialist Resurgence - Sun, 09/06/2026 - 21:50

    Slot Maxwin kini tampil dengan wajah baru yang jauh lebih dinamis, mengedepankan visual sinematik dan antarmuka yang responsif terhadap setiap momen permainan. Transformasi ini bukan sekadar perubahan estetika, melainkan evolusi desain yang menjadikan tampilan sebagai bagian integral dari mekanisme permainan itu sendiri.

    Wajah Baru Slot Maxwin: Dari Dekorasi ke Sistem Umpan Balik Visual

    Perubahan paling mencolok pada SLOT MAXWIN modern terletak pada fungsi visual. Dulu, grafis hanya berperan sebagai hiasan statis di belakang gulungan. Kini, setiap elemen layar mulai dari latar belakang, karakter, hingga ikon antarmuka bereaksi terhadap peristiwa dalam permainan.

    Sebagai ilustrasi, edisi terbaru dari permainan klasik seperti Fruit Shop menunjukkan pergeseran drastis: dari grafis 2D datar tahun 2011 menjadi presentasi sinematik dengan pencahayaan dramatis, efek partikel, dan animasi yang terikat pada setiap fitur bonus. Layar tidak lagi pasif; ia menjadi sistem umpan balik hidup yang mengkomunikasikan progres, memicu ketegangan, dan memperkuat momen kemenangan besar.

    Konsep Baru Slot Maxwin: Narasi Visual dan Identitas Artistik Kuat

    Konsep desain SLOT MAXWIN kini dibangun di atas narasi visual yang koheren dan identitas artistik yang khas. Pengembang tidak lagi hanya menggambar simbol; mereka menciptakan dunia mini dengan karakter, alur, dan suasana yang konsisten.

    Salah satu tren menonjol adalah penggunaan animasi bergaya kartun yang ekspresif. Gaya ini memungkinkan penciptaan kepribadian kuat pada setiap karakter, simbol yang mudah dibaca, serta adegan pendek yang membantu pemain memahami peristiwa permainan tanpa kebingungan. Bahkan, beberapa judul terbaru menyematkan nama seniman di layar utama seperti Yokai yang sepenuhnya dibangun dari karya seniman jalanan Portugis, Gonçalo MAR menandai era di mana seni visual menjadi daya tarik utama.

    Pendekatan ini mengubah SLOT MAXWIN dari sekadar mesin taruhan menjadi pengalaman hiburan yang memiliki identitas visual tak terlupakan.

    Perubahan Tampilan Game Slot Maxwin: Antarmuka Adaptif dan Fitur Interaktif

    Perubahan tampilan pada SLOT MAXWIN juga mencakup revolusi pada antarmuka pengguna (UI) dan pengalaman pemain (UX). Platform modern kini menerapkan sistem navigasi berbasis hover multi-level, di mana submenu muncul secara kontekstual saat kursor melayang atau layar disentuh. Fitur ini mempercepat akses ke pengaturan, informasi pembayaran, atau mode bonus tanpa mengacaukan tampilan utama.

    Selain itu, elemen interaktif semakin dominan. Karakter dapat melangkah ke depan layar saat fitur bonus aktif, soundtrack berubah mengikuti intensitas permainan, dan lingkungan virtual bergeser seiring progres putaran. Dalam Hercules Abyssways, papan permainan bahkan bergerak vertikal, mengubah tata letak simbol secara dinamis. Sementara Treats of Terror menggunakan efek layar berkedip dan tiga tahap fitur Free Spins dengan presentasi visual berbeda di setiap fase.

    Perubahan ini menjadikan setiap sesi bermain terasa unik dan penuh kejutan, sekaligus memperkuat keterikatan emosional pemain terhadap permainan.

    Teknologi di Balik Transformasi Visual SLOT MAXWIN

    Dibalik wajah baru SLOT MAXWIN, terdapat kemajuan teknologi grafis dan pemrograman yang memungkinkan detail visual tinggi, animasi responsif, serta fitur interaktif kompleks. Teknologi ini memungkinkan pengembang menciptakan:

    • Latar belakang bergerak dengan efek pencahayaan real-time.
    • Simbol dengan beberapa state animasi (diam, menang, bonus, koleksi).
    • Sistem audio adaptif yang berubah sesuai fase permainan.
    • Antarmuka mobile-first dengan waktu muat cepat dan navigasi intuitif.

    Hasilnya, permainan slot modern tidak hanya terlihat lebih menarik, tetapi juga lebih mudah dipahami dan dinikmati di berbagai perangkat, dari desktop hingga ponsel.

    Implikasi bagi Pemain: Menikmati Visual Tanpa Terlena

    Meskipun tampilan SLOT MAXWIN semakin memukau, penting bagi pemain untuk tetap fokus pada informasi kunci: saldo, riwayat putaran, dan batas waktu bermain. Animasi yang berlebihan dapat memicu kelelahan visual atau keputusan impulsif jika tidak dikelola dengan bijak.

    Beberapa tips untuk menikmati wajah baru SLOT MAXWIN secara sehat:

    • Aktifkan mode turbo atau minimal mode jika ingin mengurangi distraksi visual.
    • Ambil jeda setiap 20–30 menit untuk menghindari kelelahan mata.
    • Prioritaskan permainan dengan antarmuka jelas dan hierarki visual yang mudah dibaca.
    Penutup: SLOT MAXWIN sebagai Hiburan Visual Premium

    Wajah baru SLOT MAXWIN mencerminkan evolusi industri dari sekadar permainan keberuntungan menjadi bentuk hiburan digital premium. Dengan visual sinematik, narasi artistik kuat, dan antarmuka adaptif, setiap putaran kini terasa seperti adegan dalam produksi hiburan mini.

    Bagi pemain, ini berarti pengalaman yang lebih kaya dan menghibur. Bagi pengembang, ini adalah strategi fidelisasi di pasar yang semakin kompetitif. Di era di mana batas antara game konsol dan slot semakin tipis, SLOT MAXWIN dengan wajah barunya bukan hanya mencuri sorotan ia menetapkan standar baru untuk masa depan permainan digital.
