Urban trees are #biodiversity heroes in concrete jungles, reducing energy use, improving water quality, and increasing property values.

🌴🌳🌲When we plant the right trees in the right places, we support a cooler, greener and healthier future.
🌆 As populations grow in cities, urban trees provide many environmental and social benefits, including mitigating #ClimateChange and increasing #biodiversity.

Lead shots have contaminated wetlands (and not only) for over a century and it took forty years of campaigning to get them banned in EU wetlands!
Congrats to the EU! Now states must enforce!

So excited of my camera trap images of #Lynx in the Swiss Jura that on #WorldWildlifeDay2023 I post them again
This playful family shows how conservation efforts can bring back #wildlife locally driven to #extinction
A great story of #rewilding & hope for a #naturepositive world

Take a minute to think about our oceans...
🌊Oceans act as the largest carbon sink in the 🌍
🌊Oceans host 80% of life on the 🌍
🌊Oceans provide half of the 🌍’s oxygen
The health of our oceans affects us all.

📢 BREAKING: The #COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact has been agreed.
It has kept 1.5 degrees alive.
But, it will only survive if promises are kept and commitments translate into rapid action.

We breathe a little more easily, literally and figuratively, because of our mayors and the bold actions cities are taking. 🫁🌳🚵♂️🏞️
Glad to see a strong U.S. delegation in the house!

On the eve of #COP26, I welcomed to London some of the many mayors and local leaders who share my commitment to a greener, more resilient world.
Together, we represent millions of citizens. Tomorrow, we’ll make those citizens’ voices heard by international leaders in Glasgow.

According to the UN, current national policies lead to about 2.8 °C (5.0 °F) of global warming by 2100.
But many areas will warm faster. For Germany, it would mean about +4.6 °C (8.3 °F).

Just got my badge for my 26th COP in Glasgow. Had to brave cancelled and delayed trains (due to climate change impacts!) to get to Glasgow. Looking forward to seeing many friends here soon (make sure to bring galoshes and weatherproof clothes!). – at Glasgow, Scotland

Eco-friendly, lab-grown coffee is on the way, but it comes with a catch – what will happen to workers in traditional coffee-growing regions?
my take: #ClimateAction needs to take this into account but the entire 🌍being at stake ➡️ agri transition
