Ahead of the @UNWaterConfUAE, the Secretary General met with Dr Miriam Haritz of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety of Germany.
The meeting focused on the Convention’s engagement and Germany’s role, alongside Mexico, as co-chair of the Interactive Dialogue on Water in Multilateral Processes.
Peatlands are a type of wetlands which are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth but when damaged are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Restoring them can help combat #ClimateChange.

🌱 Restoring land is about more than bringing nature back.
Healthy land supports food security, livelihoods, biodiversity and resilience to climate change.
When we restore ecosystems, we invest in people and the planet.

Data from: SDGs Report 2026
One in 5 soil-dependent species is threatened with extinction, according to IUCN and @ConservationOrg research.
The report found another 20% are so poorly studied we don't even know their status. Soil hosts ~59% of Earth's species.

Resilience is no longer optional. It must shape how we plan, invest, and respond to protect lives and support economies.

Read the joint position paper “Making space for nature. Recommendations for ecosystem-based multi-use”, published by the North Sea Alliance, whose members are @SeasAtRisk, The North Sea Foundation, @Umwelthilfe, @WWF_Belgie, WWF Denmark, @WWFEU & @WWF_Deutschland.
🌊 Putting nature at the heart of #MPS and multi-use policies is key to a sustainable blue economy.
Read it here! seas-at-risk.org/general-new…
🌊 The #NorthSea is already under intense pressure. As offshore wind farms expand, #MultiUse must reduce cumulative impacts, not add to them. It should work within ecological limits, support nature recovery and be guided by precaution.
