Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania (SAT) Solution for a Better Future
SAT's efforts are deeply connected to all three subthemes, namely Saving Lives, Empowering Lives, and Connecting Lives. By promoting and implementing sustainable agriculture practices, SAT enhances food security, improves nutrition, and reduces vulnerability to climate-related shocks, ultimately saving lives and promoting well-being. Through practical training and community engagement, SAT empowers farmers and pastoralists to diversify their income sources, increase resilience to environmental challenges, and take ownership of their livelihoods, thus empowering lives. Moreover, SAT's collaborations and networking with other organizations facilitate multi-stakeholder cooperation, enhancing knowledge exchange and technology transfer to benefit farming communities, thereby connecting lives.

Immersive Sustainable Fashion Experience
We will connect with local schools and sustainability organisations to create sustainable fashion pieces and aim to showcase within Expo. We will bring schools to participate in workshops and celebrate what Gen Z can contribute to climate change and creating a circular economy. Students will source recycled materials and work in teams to show how all materials can have a second life. This activity directly contributes to SDG 4, Quality Education and SDG 13, Climate Action. Additionally we will delivery against SDGs 5 and 10 regarding Gender Equality and Reduced Inequality as all students can participate in the free programme with Diversity and inclusivity at the heart of what we do. We will encourage all young people to engage with this challenge and make a real impact and behavioral change. We will also connect with local businesses to engage with their sustainability initiatives and give discarded materials a second life through the Junk Kouture programme.

Thermal brick unaffected building component that addresses the building’s energy efficiency and extreme temperature from climate change
Phytavaren Technology is committed to advancing sustainable construction practices, with a particular focus on energy efficiency. Our interlocking Thermal Brick for Energy Efficiency is a cornerstone of our efforts, seamlessly integrating into our broader initiatives aimed at creating a more sustainable and resilient future. Through our Thermal Brick technology, we address the pressing need for enhanced thermal regulation in buildings, significantly reducing energy consumption for temperature control. By seamlessly integrating this innovative product into our initiatives for community and town development, housing solutions, and environmental preservation, we aim to promote energy efficiency and sustainability across various sectors. While our Thermal Brick plays a crucial role in our focus extends beyond commercial interests. We collaborate with stakeholders to foster recycling-oriented societies and promote circular economy practices, further contributing to a more sustainable future. In Thailand, we have embarked on a notable initiative where we utilize our Thermal Brick technology to construct social net houses. These structures not only provide affordable housing solutions but also leverage the thermal properties of our bricks to create comfortable and energy-efficient living spaces for communities in need. Through collaboration with local partners, we ensure that our initiatives align with the specific needs of the communities we serve, empowering individuals and families with a higher quality of life while minimizing their environmental footprint. Beyond our product offerings, we are dedicated to fostering a more sustainable and resilient future through initiatives aimed at community and town development, housing solutions, environmental preservation, and the promotion of recycling-oriented societies. Our participation in global events such as the COP28 in Dubai, UAE, underscores our commitment to tackling energy and climate change challenges on a broader scale.

Innovation Imagination Camp
This is to support Collective imagination to invent creative innovation, that needs to design our future society to shape new structures of environment, Economy, society, and technology to affect human behavior in the future to convert this imagination into sustainable innovation for teenagers and the next generations. We aim to develop an Education system and apply future science and future thinking literacy in high schools and various universities to apply creative innovation to solve issues from today and a. So we Kicked off a new concept of “SUS HOME “ & " SUS University "to represent Sustainable solutions in homes and universities to apply Environmental innovation with Orgoooo startup to prepare some products like seeds Pencils and Seeds Pens Made from recycled paper that was papers wast from student's schools and universities, family's home to made these Eco-friendly products this support SDG 4 & 9 " Quality Education "&" industry, innovation,.." b. Applying future thinking tools with creative industry in Fitch, agritourism, and Energy fields this year with international organizations such as Like UNDP EGYPT to support SDG 17 to continue building networking offline for developing more Environmental innovation & social innovation specifie in Tech-Eco friendly proudects in Schools and universities worldwide. c. The “Outputs and outcomes” of this camp will be prototypes to be “future produects & services”as well as developing “Creative industry on Economy System to desgin future socity :Empower creative participants with creative thinking by learning know how the future thinking tools with in various methedology to apply thier submissions in Enviormantls , Social , Economy and Tech fields. b. Enable the participants to use future thinking to defintion signals of change , future wheels and so on through games , stoytelling and Art and videos to show thier submissions in Art exhibition for public auidence to interactive together to achive participatory future for all . This Exhibition will be sustunibal and mobile all the world .

Safer, stronger and better small-scale fishing vessels
Every year hundreds of thousands of small-scale fishers get accidents at sea and the number of fatalities runs in the tens of thousands. Overexploitation of coastal fisheries resources requires the fishers to operate further off-shore, where the waves are higher and it is more difficult to return to port when storms are approaching. Climate change effects on the weather add to the dangers at sea for those fishers. Safer and stronger small-scale fishing boats can safe the lives of thousands of fishers. The Ministry of Fisheries of Sri Lanka requested FAO to design a safer, stronger and better small-scale fishing vessel, in view of the many small-scale fishers lives lost at sea and the challenges posed by climate change (e.g. higher waves, fast weather changes). FAO did so and discussed the design changes with the key stakeholders, the fishers, boat builders and the Government. Two demonstration vessels of 20 and 23ft in length were built in 2023 and handed over in December 2023 to the Ministry, along with the mould to build more of these vessels in series. The fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) boat builders were trained by FAO in better construction practices through 2 practical workshops. Moreover, a manual was developed and construction standards were translated in Tamil and Sinhala languages. The Dhanusha shipyard in Sri Lanka requested the Ministry to get the mould on loan to build another 50 vessels for the fishers. Particularly on the east coast there is demand among fishers for the 23ft version. More info can be found in the brochure: http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/cc8154en . An FAO news item and a video were also produced. The boat designs are available for free download from FAO’s Fishing Vessel Design Database, which contains over 230 fishing vessel designs. The Expo will be instrumental in disseminating the design and best-practice approaches used in the design and construction of the small-scale fishing vessels to other countries, and will help us in the Blue transformation of the fisheries sector.
