Green Recovery Ecosystem Stakeholders

Green Economy Coalition`s Green Recovery Dialogues

There are signs visible that we are indeed #buildingbackbettergreener! Today I was inspired to provide a platform for a broad range of Green Incubators and BDS providers that are supporting local green entrepreneurs. Stakeholders included youth-owned and women-owned enterprises.

Alien invasive waste to renewable energy: local biogas innovation

Today I visited Alien Fuel. This is a fantastic example of how entrepreneurs can find innovative clean tech solutions to respond to alien invasive species that are putting stress on our water bodies and at the same time provide energy security. For more information visit: https://alienfuel.africa/

Leadership Training for Female Multipliers in the Circular Economy

A huge shout out to PREVENT Waste Alliance and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for offering this life-changing Leadership Program for female leaders in Circular Economy. I enjoyed spending time (in person in Europe) with other women from 3rd world countries to learn about their leadership challenges and experiences in implementing Circular Economy initiatives. During our 1 week stay in Bonn, we used our time after class to document best practice recycling and upcycling examples in Germany that are linked to the EU Green Deal that shows potential to be implemented in our own countries. I loved the enthusiasm and hunger to learn and grow not only in ourselves but also in our local communities! Looking forward to a fellow country study tour to Columbia, Georgia, Albanie, Kosovo, and South Africa. #circulareconomy #circularity #FFBS #futurefemales #femaleleadership See the post from Pr...

The article by Darren Parker from Engineering News covers this topic in more detail. Click here for more information.
