🥔🌍 We are from Uganda, but we are always happy to learn from what is happening in Europe. The potato crisis is a reminder that soil health is at the heart of food security. Healthy, living soils can help farms withstand drought, heat and changing climate. At YECI, we believe sharing lessons across continents can help us build more resilient farming systems together. 🌱🤝

Solar Rights Alliance on SB 868 (just signed into law in California)
"...This new Plug-In solar law does three things:
Creates a statewide safety standard for Plug-In solar.
Limits the size of these systems to 1200 watts (about 3-4 panels).
Creates a new rule that lets us use these safety certified systems without having to pay the utility a fee or get permission from the utility.
Millions of households in other countries use these Plug-In systems every day to make their electricity more affordable. In Germany, people can buy these systems online, in hardware stores, and in big box stores like Ikea and Walmart. These portable solar panels come with integrated microinverters, and they can be hung from a balcony, set out on a patio, or placed in a yard, and then safely plugged into a wall outlet.
These Plug-In systems can help renters and homeowners alike immediately lower their energy bill. And now, they’re coming to California!
Here's what to expect next:
The Plug-In solar law goes into effect on January 1st, 2027.
It’ll probably take a few more months after that for manufacturers to get their first round of products certified by safety experts, as the law requires.
We’re keeping a close eye on developments to ensure that you're among the first to know when safe, certified Plug-In solar systems start hitting shelves. ..."

When It Comes to Climate, #WesternScience Can Learn from #Indigenous Communities
Native people who possess #traditionalEcologicalKnowledge have long understood environmental management.
By Heather Hansen, March 1, 2022
Excerpt: "Chisholm Hatfield emphasizes a shift from isolation to integration in order to bridge the gap between Native and Western science, and between many people and the natural world. On a planet with worsening wildfires and floods, and a staggering loss of biodiversity, some western researchers are now asking the original land stewards for help restoring the balance in ecosystems. In Alaska, the #Inuit are teaching researchers about #biodiversity and sea ice conditions in the Arctic; in the American West, tribal members are collaborating with land managers to burn small fires to prevent big ones. But there’s much more to be done, #TEK leaders say.
"For both #ChisholmHatfield and #AnnMarieChischilly , it is a time for action, hope and #resilience. 'When we talk about resilience, it’s not just in what we’re doing. It’s resilience in the mind and spirit,' says Chischilly. 'There’s always been adaptation in the Indigenous community, there’s a foundation that we don’t let go of. That’s what keeps us alive.' "

#Anishinaabe Insights: A closer look at #TEK - #IndigenousKnowledge finds its way into science & policy.
By Michael Waasegiizhig Price, GLIFWC TEK Specialist
Excerpt: " #Indigenous #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge is not about human beings saving the earth, but rather, it is about us, as human beings, saving ourselves. As #OrenLyons, Faithkeeper of the #OnondagaNation, stated, ' #Nature has no mercy, only law. If you don’t abide by the law, you suffer the consequences.' I believe that the understanding of natural law comes from the lifeways and wisdom of #IndigenousPeoples from all over the earth. The integration of Indigenous knowledge and science is a noble effort to preserve and honor our existence on this planet, the #EarthMother of us all."

Eight #Indigenous technologies that could turn the tide on how we manage water
by Rima Sabina Aouf | 24 October 2025
"Architect #JuliaWatson has followed up her seminal book #LoTEK with a new volume focused specifically on Indigenous approaches to extreme water scenarios. Here, she shares an exclusive preview of eight examples from #FloatingFarms to #SpongeParks.
"With the first Lo-TEK book, subtitled Design by #RadicalIndigenism , Watson introduced readers, many for the first time, to the idea of TEK, or traditional ecological knowledge.
"These are #building, #landscaping and #farming practices that belong to the world's Indigenous communities and hold great lessons for Western practitioners trying to design for #ClimateResilience.
"With #LoTEKWater, the Australian architect wanted to take a deep dive into water as the element linking four different climate-related disasters: #droughts, #flooding, #SeaLevelRise and #ExtremeStorms.
"The book also puts more of a focus on instances where TEK and contemporary #UrbanDesign are already working together.
" 'Through the lens of water, I wanted to understand the potential of hybridisation and co-design,' Watson told #Dezeen. 'How does a non-Indigenous design practice or scientist or institution work with an Indigenous community and their knowledge to shape some of the most resilient urban landscapes?'
" 'And with urbanism, I'm talking about cities, villages, rural landscapes, peri-urban landscapes – not just city landscapes.'
"Co-authored with Indigenous #KnowledgeKeepers and experts, Lo-TEK Water features both traditional and contemporary projects from countries including #Mexico, #China, #Tunisia, #Canada, #Peru and #India.
" 'There are so many varied ways in which traditional ecological knowledge is being merged with engineering systems, #cladding, #roofing – in architecture but also in landscape, creating really large-scale infrastructures and our most resilient urban parkland on the planet,' Watson said.
"Read on for Watson's introduction to eight key projects from the book, showing the diversity of ways that water-based TEK shows up around the world."

Fifteen #Crops That Could Help Build More #Resilient Food Systems
By Natalia Rodriguez, 7 September 2026
"What if some of the crops best suited to improve nutrition, support farmers and strengthen #ClimateResilience are already growing in fields across #Africa – but they are just overlooked?
The crops featured in Opportunity Crops for #SustainableFood Systems include #amaranth, #BambaraGroundnut, #baobab, #cowpea, #FingerMillet, #fonio, #jackfruit, #JuteMallow, #MiracleBerry, #moringa, #PearlMillet, #pumpkin, #sesame, #sweetpotato and #TurkeyBerry.
These crops were not chosen randomly. More than 250 farmers, researchers, genebank experts, private-sector and government representatives provided input. They helped identify crops true to local priorities and opportunities in each of the four African countries, and now genebanks are focusing on those crops.
The publication explores each crop's history, biology, nutritional value, cultivation practices, conservation status, market opportunities and development challenges. Together, the profiles paint a picture of food systems that are more diverse, adaptable and rooted in #LocalKnowledge.
This demonstrates the importance of listening to farmers and local communities. Their knowledge, experience and continued stewardship have helped conserve these crops and the diversity they represent.
The opportunity is not to replace the crops the world already depends on, but to widen the field of possibilities. By conserving, improving and investing in crops that farmers and communities already know, we can build food systems with more options – for better nutrition, stronger livelihoods and greater #resilience.
Opportunity Crops for Sustainable Food Systems shows that some of those options are already here, waiting to be recognized and put to use.
This publication presents 15 opportunity crop profiles from across West and East Africa, selected through stakeholder consultations held in #Benin, #Ghana, #Tanzania and #Uganda as part of the #BOLDERInitiative. Each crop profile explores the crop’s history, biology, nutritional characteristics, production systems, cultivation status, processing challenges and market opportunities."

How #LibrariesOfThings build #resilience, fight #ClimateChange, and bring communities together
by Tom Llewellyn
April 17, 2019
Excerpt: "With climate-fueled disasters on the rise around the world, what role can tool libraries play in aiding community-led disaster response efforts?
" #ToolLibraries can play a huge role in #ClimateResilience and helping communities bounce forward after a disaster, but to be most effective they need to be in place before disasters like super-storms, floods, wildfires, or earthquakes.
"The tools, skills, and community that support a tool library can all be essential ingredients for rapid response and rebuilding. As we’ve seen after recent disasters, it can take weeks — or even months — for effective outside assistance to arrive, so the better-equipped communities are to help themselves, the better they will do after a disaster. Even if a tool library itself is damaged in a disaster, a redundant and reliable platform like #myTurn can help locate the tools that were checked out at the time of the disaster or items from other nearby tool libraries, so they can be put back into service quickly.
"Even before a disaster happens, tool libraries can play a number of roles in disaster preparation. Some of the most popular tools at the #PhinneyToolLibrary like concrete drills, palm nailers, air compressors, reciprocating saws are often borrowed to be used for earthquake retrofits, and the Oakland Tool Library even has earthquake retrofit kits. The social cohesion that tool libraries fosters also helps build community resilience.
"One final important, and often overlooked, benefit of tool libraries, #LibrariesOfThings, and other product sharing services is the large role they can play in reducing GHGs and climate risk in the first place. According to recent research by groups in Europe and the C40 Cities, consumer product consumption is the sector of the economy that has one of the, if not the, biggest environmental impact when taking into account resource extraction, manufacturing, and global supply chains, transportation, storage, use, and eventual disposal of products.
"Beyond reducing the 'embodied' energy in products through #reuse, some organizations are using tool libraries to further advance energy efficiency. For example, the Smart Buildings Center, SDG&E, and CUNY Building Performance Lab all run energy efficiency tool libraries that help homeowners, professionals, and construction companies retrofit existing buildings to reduce their energy use. Using shared tools to reduce energy consumption is a win-win for people, economics, and the planet."

Live from the Japan Pavilion at #TIF2026.
Maria Akrivou asked what holds us back from real-time climate prevention.
My take: technology isn't the bottleneck anymore. The decision is.
When an alert triggers an email meeting instead of an automated action, the window is already lost. Resilience means agreeing on the protocol in calm times.

South Asia needs stronger cross-border climate cooperation: Experts
South Asian countries need stronger regional cooperation on #ClimateChange, #disaster preparedness and #energy security as #climate-related risks increasingly cross national borders, experts said at a parliamentary forum in #Thimphu today.
For #Bhutan, experts said #ClimateResilience needs to be integrated into development planning as climate change creates increasing uncertainty for hydropower and raises the risks from natural disasters.
Bhutan remains #CarbonNegative and has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. The country aims to expand its #RenewableEnergy capacity to around 25,000 megawatts by 2040 through #hydropower and #solar.
However, the forum highlighted Bhutan's heavy dependence on hydropower and generation deficits during the dry season.
Sumedha Basu (PhD) urged Bhutan to explore ways to diversify its economy, saying the country is currently highly dependent on tourism and hydropower.
"Hydropower is becoming increasingly uncertain because of climate change," she said.
She said Bhutan should also strengthen its systems for #monitoring vulnerable areas and collecting real-time climate-related data to know exactly where changes are occurring.

🌾 Climate change is becoming a food security crisis. Heatwaves and drought are damaging crops across Europe, reducing harvests and threatening livelihoods. When food production falls, prices rise.
🌳 We need climate-resilient food systems now: regenerative agriculture, agroforestry and food forests in gardens, parks and unused land. Food security is everyone’s responsibility. The time to prepare is before the shelves are empty. 🌍🌱
