Obama Foundation’s Post

The America the Beautiful for All Coalition reflects the diversity of America and centers the voices of people of color working to conserve 30% of lands, waters, and oceans by 2030. In 2024, this coalition will continue to motivate urgent action by the Biden Administration, Congress and other decision-makers in support of the coalition’s twin goals: 1) Conserving at least 30% of land, water, and ocean by 2030; and 2) Implementing a Justice40 metric for the America the Beautiful Initiative to ensure at least 40% of investments are made in communities of color and frontline communities that have historically seen little to no investment in conservation and equitable access to nature. https://zurl.co/fUfF

The Healthy Ocean Coalition is proud to be part of the America the Beautiful For All Coalition! This group consists of 250 organizations working toward President Joe Biden’s goal of conserving 30% of U.S. lands, waters, and ocean by 2030 and achieving the initiatives outlined in Justice40. We are the largest and most representative coalition ever assembled for the most ambitious conservation goal ever set in the United States. The 2024 Policy Agenda, which was released today, iterates on continued priority action items addressed in the 2023 Policy Agenda such as: ensuring marine protected area management and implementation; enacting a Bureau of Land Management Rulemaking to modernize 245 million acres of public lands management; expanding access to existing open space through community use agreements; and more.

🌍🌿 On Earth Day, the global community unites to celebrate the invaluable gifts bestowed upon us by nature. As renowned senior managers, heads of investments, investment officers, bankers, and impact specialists, the responsibility for preserving these gifts for future generations rests heavily upon our shoulders. Earth's abundance sustains us in ways we often take for granted. From the air we breathe to the water we drink, nature's offerings are fundamental to our existence. 🌊💧 We are intrinsically linked to the earth's ecosystems, recognizing our reliance on its bountiful resources. As stewards of sustainability and guardians of the environment, it is imperative to embrace good stewardship practices. This entails acknowledging our dependence on nature and taking active steps to preserve its fruit for the well-being of generations to come. 🌳🍃 Investment in environmental initiatives and sustainable practices is not just a choice but a moral imperative. It is about safeguarding our planet's health and ensuring a prosperous future for all living beings. 🌱💰 #EarthDay #NatureAppreciation #Stewardship #EnvironmentalSustainability #GreenInvestment #PreserveNature #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #EarthGuardians #EnvironmentalResponsibility #EcoFriendlyInvesting #ImpactInvesting #NatureConservation #RenewableResources #ClimateResilience #EcoInvestment #GreenFinance #EarthDay2024 #EnvironmentalAwareness #SustainableLiving #ProtectOurPlanet #ConservationEfforts #FutureGenerations #SustainableDevelopment #GreenEconomy #EarthCare #GlobalStewardship #EcoConsciousness #EnvironmentalLeadership #ClimateSolutions #BiodiversityProtection #GreenInvestor #EnvironmentalJustice #EcoImpact #ClimateActionNow #SustainableInvestment #GreenInitiatives #EarthPreservation #EcoResponsibility #ClimatePositive #EcoWealth #EnvironmentalEthics #GreenFuture #EarthAdvocacy #SustainabilityMatters #NatureProtection #InvestingInNature #EarthLove #EcoInvestor #SustainablePractices #GreenChoices #EarthConservation #EcoLeadership #EnvironmentalHealth #ClimateChangeAction #SustainableFinance #GreenCommitment #EarthStewardship #EcoDevelopment #EnvironmentalChampions #ClimateProtection #EcoInvestment #SustainableInvesting #GreenValues #EarthAwareness #EcoEmpowerment #ClimateActionPlan #SustainableWorld #GreenLegacy #EarthHope #EcoInvestment #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableEconomy #GreenInnovation #EarthProtection #EcoInvesting #ClimateActionNow #SustainableFutures #GreenEfforts #EarthAdvocate #EcoConsciousInvesting #EnvironmentalGuardians #ClimateActionLeadership #SustainablePlanet #GreenProgress #EarthRenewal #EcoWealth #EnvironmentalMindset #ClimateResponsible #SustainableLegacy #GreenFuture #EarthAdvocacy #EcoConsciousness #EnvironmentalLeadership #ClimateSolutions #BiodiversityProtection #GreenInvestor #EnvironmentalJustice #EcoImpact #ClimateActionNow #SustainableInvestment #GreenInitiatives

Happy #worldoceanweek! Let’s celebrate by taking a DEEP breath and a moment of appreciation for that breath to the ocean!! Grateful to deepen the relationships built during my service on the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration National Marine Sanctuary Business Advisory Council and on the board of Black In Marine Science, Non-Profit Organization at this years Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW) conference. I also savored the nourishing and intersectional Ocean Justice Forum summit hosted by Azul, Urban Ocean Lab, and Center for American Progress. The Ocean Justice Forum was cofounder by the Urban Ocean Lab, Azul, Taproot Earth, and Center for American Progress. The goal is to address the shortcomings of ocean policies that have left frontline communities behind. The Forum broughts together eighteen grassroots, justice-focused, community, Indigenous and national environmental groups from across the U.S. to collectively envision what a just ocean future should look like. Take a read of their Ocean Justice Platform, integrate, and align your efforts to this global effort - https://lnkd.in/gBHGcFtX So many gems to learn, unlearn, relearn, heal, and activate. Here’s to taking our turn on this intergenerational journey called life. #wearenature #webemany #oceanequity #ocean #science #coastalcommunities #policy #governance #global

It may sound counterintuitive, but Rethos practices historic preservation by looking forward. How can a building be reimagined to serve our needs today and tomorrow? How can the life of a building be extended, not ended? Whose stories can this building tell? That's the New Preservation.
