🌾✨ Humans of Hope: A series towards a World Without Hunger ✨🌾 Welcome to the beginning of a visual journey inspired by the #WorldWithoutHungerConference in Ethiopia—a place where innovative ideas and global cooperation laid the foundation for a hunger-free future. In this new series, we’ll explore the many dimensions of food security, sustainability, and human resilience through the art of double exposure, blending powerful portraits with symbols of growth, nature, and nourishment. 🌱 This first piece of art captures the essence of our shared mission. Here, hands cradling seeds intertwine with a determined gaze, symbolizing the delicate balance between humanity and the earth. It’s a reminder that a world without hunger isn’t just a vision—it’s within reach if we work together. 🤲 Over the coming weeks, each piece of art will delve into a critical pillar of ending hunger: 🌿 Sustainable agriculture to feed generations without exhausting our planet.  🌾 Food loss reduction to maximize every harvest.  🚚 Enhancing food distribution channels to ensure that nourishment reaches those who need it most.  🌐 Global collaboration and partnerships, because hunger knows no borders.  🌍 Addressing climate change because the changing climate impacts food security and must be tackled for future generations. Stay tuned and follow us on this journey as we bring each of these themes to life, showing that with solidarity and commitment, we can nourish every table and secure a brighter future for all. Together, let’s envision, act, and transform. Because together, a world without hunger is possible. 🌱🌎 #WWHC #WorldWithoutHunger #SustainableDevelopment #EndHunger #SDGs #AWorldWithoutHungerIsPossible

Today is Finance Day at #COP29. Read the OpEd by UNIDO DG Gerd Müller: #COP29 is a critical moment for world leaders to make real progress on climate commitments – and at the same time fast-track low-carbon, climate-friendly development in the world’s poorest countries. We cannot accept solutions and commitments that fail to address and support the right to development in the countries of the Global South and threaten to widen the gap between rich and poor countries. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsBzt65R

📢 HAPPENING NOW! Clean #hydrogen offers unique opportunities for net-zero industrial development in developing countries: job creation, skills upgrading, investment mobilization, energy security and participation in global hydrogen trade. To reap these benefits, it is essential to de-risk investments in hydrogen technologies for industry decarbonization. Join us together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to unpack this essential issue at #COP29. The jointly organized session will explore pathways for inclusive economic growth while supporting the global shift toward net-zero emissions. The panel will examine strategies to mitigate investment risks, such as establishing clear regulatory frameworks and enhancing investor confidence through transparent and stable enabling policies. We look forward to seeing you there! #UNIDOCOP29

🌍Every morning, Joanna would wake up early to prepare breakfast for her family before setting out with her son to collect unwanted electronics around the village of Longos in Malabon City, Metro Manila. It’s tough work—hauling and dismantling heavy items to sell valuable parts to local shops. But Joanna’s dedication has led her to become president of a local e-waste association, alongside managing one of the e-waste centers that’s now offering expanded services like professional cleaning services for sites where e-waste has been stored. As e-waste rapidly increases worldwide, Joanna and others like her play a crucial role in turning waste into opportunity in the #Philippines. #UNIDO’s project aims to support countries to transform their economies to a #CircularEconomy model that promotes sustainable supply chains. 🌱 Read Joanna's story 👉 https://lnkd.in/d8h6gQGq Global Environment Facility | Myeka Trinidad | Globe Telecom | United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) | Carmela Centeno
