oikos International November Newsletter

Welcome to the November edition of our newsletter!

This month is full of opportunities in our network and beyond. We are starting a new GlobalGiving campaign at the end of the month, followed by the LEAP Advanced applications opening, along with LEAP Info Calls to learn more. If you missed last month's LEAP Alumni workshop, another one is coming shortly.

If you're looking to engage in sustainability, there are a number of opportunities open at the moment - on our oiCases Program, with our partners Rethinking Economics, P4NE, and GRLI, along with the PIR 2022 Edition to choose from. Additionally, there are some interesting reads on the topics of crowdfunding, fashion and weather.

The Educated Dresser

To protect the environment and our society, the key takeaway is that we need to pay more attention to the clothes we buy and the brands we support. Yet, the hidden complexities of fashion decision-making make us vulnerable to deceitful tactics. For this reason, education can help us to cut through the noise and make sustainable consumption decisions.

Talking about the weather…

When talking about climate change it often seems like a vast amount of people have a hard time connecting the facts and numbers to their lives. “1.5°C warmer” doesn’t sound like a dramatic thing at first sight. However, the extreme weather events over the years thaught us that we must start making the connection between “weather” and climate change.
