Natural climate solutions are critical to addressing climate change, but they are underdeployed & underfunded. Orgs like @nature_org and leaders like @GeorgeMonbiot & @GretaThunberg are showing the world it’s not too late—nature can make all the difference.bit.ly/2kSIK4t

The findings in the upcoming #IPCC ocean and ice report are expected to be dire. But the last thing we need is panic that leads to paralysis. Let's turn our concerns into ambitious action: links.nature.org/8vx57 #SROCC

We often say that “children are the future.” The #climatestrike makes it clear: young people are our present, our inspiration, and the reason we have to act now on climate change.

The message from @UN's recent reports couldn't be clearer: business as usual is a threat to climate, biodiversity, land and ocean. And every degree of global warming counts: links.nature.org/gjd4r

And it goes way beyond perceptions of health! Lots of studies now showing quantifiable links between nature and health outcomes, although the quality and strength of evidence varies among the particular nature/health pathways.

Excited to see the appropriation by Congress for money to increase community resilience, rather than just reconstruction. Let's just hope the program is implemented well eenews.net/climatewire/2019/…

An important new paper on income and heat wave risk in dozens of US cities. I feel scooped somewhat, as I am working with USFS to map trees and ecosystem service provision for hundreds of US cities, but we aren't quite done yet npr.org/2019/09/03/754044732…

Environmental justice and urban ecology are inextricably linked. Thanks @greenkels for this motivating thread.

S. Pickett sharing segregation’s link to urban ecology is bringing me to tears. I was told 11 years ago segregation & spatial assimialtion is beyond urban ecology. It is time we turn our scholarly efforts to include the legacy of systemic racism. #ESA2019
