Iowa:
"Renewables now account for roughly 62% of Iowa’s electricity generation, up from 18% in 2010, with wind alone providing nearly 59% of total output.

The report found notable disparities in property tax burdens based on proximity to wind development. Properties in school districts with no wind turbines pay 26% higher property taxes on average than those in districts with large-scale wind production."

This is one of my favorite spots along the Liesing in Vienna.

I don't know about this section, but most of the Lising was confined in concrete walls not too many years ago, but almost every section in Vienna has been renaturalized by now.

The results:
* fewer floods
* better water quality (Platon doesn't stink after bathing)
* the human psyche benefits from the beauty of nature
* more biodiversity
* great education opportunity (you probably can't see it in the pictures, but just a little bit upstream there is a group of kindergardeners probably learning something about the environment)
* cooler microclimate
* and many, many more

🌍🤝 Klimaschutz mit #CoBenefits wirkt gleich mehrfach im globalen Süden, denn Emissionen werden gemindert und gleichzeitig Entwicklungswirkungen gefördert.

💡 Frauen leiden besonders stark unter den Folgen des Klimawandels. Gerade in Ländern des globalen Südens sind sie vielfach wirtschaftlich abhängig von natürlichen Ressourcen, während sie gesundheitlichen Risiken stärker ausgesetzt sind.

➡️ Grund genug, Entwicklung und Klima zusammen zu denken. Und zu handeln.

#EnvironmentalJusticeIsAClimateSolution: Some climate activists are frustrated by DWP’s plan to convert several power plants from burning fossil gas to #hydrogen — a top priority for the politically powerful labor unions whose members operate those plants, but a nonstarter for environmental justice groups who worry that hydrogen combustion would lead to continued #airpollution in low-income communities of color.
More broadly, DWP will need to make sure its clean energy programs bring proportionate benefits to low-income families and communities of color — which they historically have not, according to a recent report commissioned by the utility.

Multi-solving climate action is more effective than single-issue solutions. A new report shows that multi-solving approaches can address multiple challenges, such as health, equity and resilience. This means that multi-solving climate action can create more benefits and co-benefits for people and the planet.
