🌊🌏 Asia generates the most plastic waste in the world, 63% of which is mismanaged. This puts coastal communities and ecosystems under growing pressure from climate change and marine pollution. ➡️ NDF is contributing EUR 8.5 million to the Ocean Resilience and Coastal Adaptation Trust Fund (ORCA) in partnership with the Asian Development Bank, to support ocean health and climate resilience across Asia and the Pacific. 💬 “With NDF’s projects and initiatives, we support the sustainable blue economy through specific projects and programs in lower-income countries in the Global South,” says Satu Santala, NDF Managing Director. ️🔗 Learn more about the Ocean Resilience and Coastal Adaptation Trust Fund: https://shorturl.at/wchYs #ClimateFinance #BlueEconomy #OceanHealth #Sustainability Photo: ADB

🎙️ Our Managing Director, Satu Santala, recently joined Impactpool’s podcast to discuss her journey and how her early professional experiences led her to leading climate finance projects at NDF. 💡 🌱 In this episode, Satu discusses her career from NGOs to diplomacy and IFIs and the evolution of the field. She also shares insights into NDF’s approach in climate and development finance and what it’s like to work at NDF in Helsinki. “There are two things about our work culture that are distinctive. One is that we are a Nordic institution, and we have a very Nordic work culture: low hierarchy, direct communication. The other, is that we are a small team, only 32 people. When you’re in a small team like this, everyone really counts,” she says. 💬 🎧 Listen to the conversation here: https://shorturl.at/4yO3A ▶️ Are you interested in working at NDF?
