🌱 What does Community Engagement 2.0 look like? Inspired by an article by Dr. Dupe Burgess called "9 signs of excellent company work culture" I reflect on the direction to take for authentic and impactful community engagement and impact creation in nature-based solutions projects. In this article, I reflect on how positive community engagement beyond compliance can emerge from embracing integrity principles and shifting corporate mindsets from within. I draw parallels between ▶️ recommendations from the entrepreneurial sector on shaping a positive work culture and ▶️ requirements, indicators, and principles for social safeguards within the high-integrity voluntary carbon market I’m sharing this as a thought-starter and would love to hear from others working in the voluntary carbon market or related fields. I enjoy being inspired not only by communities, practitioners and thought leaders within the #VCM and nature-based solutions sector but also from professionals in other sectors where values and people are at the heart of #sustainability and lasting #impact and wealth creation. #CommunityEngagement #ClimateFinance #VCM #NatureBasedSolutions #Integrity #Leadership #safeguards Benedikt Kaiser Matthew McLuckie Drea Burbank BeZero Carbon José Koechlin Luciano Figueira FRGS Diego Olivera Fidelis Stuchtey Fabian Schmidt-Pramov Amy E.
