Reimagining Climate Action and Achieving the SDGs: Our Individual and Collective Work   Side Event to UNGA 77 and Climate Week Panel and Reception Hosted by Church World Service (CWS) Monday, 19 September 2022 4 - 7 PM EDT Location: Church Center of the UN New York, NY   About   For fourteen years, Climate Week has “brought together the most influential leaders in climate action from business, government, and the climate community” at the same time as the UN General Assembly High-level meetings. Climate Week aims to increase ambition and accelerate action for urgent climate action, and the timing is more critical during UNGA this year as the world experiences more frequent and severe climate shocks affecting all people, but most disproportionately for the most vulnerable (eg. food insecure, impoverished, indigenous persons, women, smallholder farmers). Climate change is also promulgating unrest and forced displacement; there are more displaced persons around the world now than ever before in recorded human history.    Most people in low and middle income countries are people of faith, and the role of places and leaders of worship, communities and individual action will only continue to be critical to achieve the SDGs. As a faith-based civil society organization in consultative status with the UN, CWS is uniquely positioned to engage with delegates and high-level attendees of UNGA regarding critical matters around the world's progress - or lack thereof - toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.   This side event served as a follow-up to CWS' side event during the 2022 High Level Political Forum entitled Reimagining Our World and Future Together: an integral approach towards sustainable development. In a panel discussion between the Netherlands, UNDP, Seattle University, MPOWERD and CWS, speakers addressed systemic gaps and the value of improving social safety nets and partnerships (SDG 17) to ensure resilience - especially among the most vulnerable - and the achievement of the SDGs. Speakers were asked to consider the role of “Inner Development Goals” (IDGs), or the capabilities, qualities and skills within each person.    The event featured a panel discussion and interactive dialogue with the audience. We would like to thank the audience for their participation and apologize that this summary podcast doesn't do total justice to the richness of the conversations that took place during the session.   Panelists (Moderator) Maurice A. Bloem, Chief Sustainability and Impact Officer, CWS Andrew Fuys, Senior Technical Advisor, Climate and Migration, CWS  Mary Kate Costello, Director of International Policy and Relations, CWS Sydney Upchurch, Founder, Fleet  Pooja Tilvawala, Director & Founder, Youth Climate Collaborative Dr. John Coonrod, EVP, The Hunger Project

People have been forced to flee, leaving their families, friends, possessions, homes, and even homelands. San Francisco-based Numi Organic Tea wanted to do something to help and to assemble their fellow tea drinkers to help, too. They have a foundation — the Numi Foundation — that supports the communities where they farm and people in need in the Bay Area, where their head office is located. To help the Ukrainian people, Numi is partnering with two organizations, Waves for Water and MPOWERD.

In this episode, John Salzinger the Founder of MPOWERD shares his opinion on how we as an industry address toxic advertising and the downstream effects.    As people are trying to escape the urban sprawl of advertising, marketers continue to promote, sell and push their products in every conceivable way. These days you can't even go to a gas station without having a screen shoved in your face!   When I consider the impact of excessive consumerism, the environmental impact these products have and the mental health impact social media has. I start to question the work we as marketers are doing.  Have we become so good at selling that we are no longer concerned with the impact of what and how we're selling?   Tune in to this episode to hear John eloquently describe his thoughts around these complicated issues.   Follow MPOWERD: @mpowerdinc   Produced by: Port Side Productions @backcountrymarketing @portsideproductions @coleheilborn

LUCI lights have been mentioned as the favorite outdoor gear purchase under $100 by a number of guests on the show. John tells us how the idea came about for the lights and some great work they do helping provide lights to disaster stricken areas after earthquakes and hurricanes. Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Support the show   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes LUCI lights have been mentioned as the favorite outdoor gear purchase under $100 by a number of guests on the show. John tells us how the idea came about for the lights and some great work they do helping provide lights to disaster stricken areas after earthquakes and hurricanes. MOWERD's First Exposure to the Outdoors  Yeah it happened right away. You know NGO's and Amazon were the first two. So the business model was sort of initially established in my mind right away that it wouldn't be able to just sell into one or the other. You know you have to build a diverse portfolio and especially if you're going to compete globally. The outdoor industry it just lends itself to Lantern's. It's a natural so it's very easy. Emergency preparedness was also easy, lifestyle has become pretty interesting because a lot of people see the wow factor of it and find sort of elegant design. We started our first International distribution in any meaningful way in Japan. And Japan has a proclivity to High design in their retail markets. And so we've sort of tested the product in Japan that did well there. So the U.S. was relatively easy in terms of acceptance. Now we've moved into sort of a health and wellness. You know like a Luci candle you know whether it's waterproof can go a bath or a tent and it's totally safe and colored lights that go in pool. Paul McCartney I know has our lights in his pool. That's always fun when when it Beatle has your lights, then you know you're doing OK. You made it. Right? Things we talked about Save the Children International Medical Corps. The Humane Society Advice, tips  I think it's important to know your market. I mean the outdoor business is an interesting one. There's a show called outdoor retailer we were just at. And actually we won the editor's pick for the best product at the entire show. Yeah it's kind of wild considering you're going up against the North Face, Osprey, these amazing Patagonia amazing brands you know. Its interesting to walk shows like that. Talking to people understanding the market but then also you know there's the outside looking in there's also the inside looking out go camping, see what you're missing. You know solve your own problems. I always felt like that's sort of the best best way to do it. And then lastly you know be open, listen. learn to listen to others. You may think you have all the answers. 80 percent of the time you're probably wrong. If you're open to listening and especially to the market. Then there's a lot of things that are sort of counterintuitive that actually make sense. So once you built a solution especially if it's good. Keep your ear to the ground.  Be humble.
