🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.
Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does:

The DOE is essential in protecting students, supporting educators, and ensuring educational equality.
I am not okay with this and you should not be either.

If you walk out of a party, maybe nothing happens. If you walk out of a race, you actually lose. The Paris Agreement is not a party, it is a collective race for progress, well-being and development! There are no medals or consolation prizes for those who walk out!

🚨 BREAKING: We have the EU Nature Restoration Law!
Member States have just adopted the game-changing law for Europe's degraded ecosystems
It's a huge win for the EU's nature, citizens & the economy and the people behind the #RestoreNature campaign!
Thank you all 💚

Exactly one year ago a historic agreement for nature was adopted.🌍🌱
There's been some progress in the past year, but the overall pace and scale of action is nowhere near what is necessary to secure a #NaturePositive world by 2030.

Off the charts gets a new meaning when we see the extraordinary run of climate records breaking. @WMO reports the hottest Sept ever – by a record-breaking margin - almost certainly ensuring 2023 will be the hottest year ever. ow.ly/J1Aa50PToNJ

As a founding partner, @WWF welcome @TNFD_'s recommendations on nature-related risk #disclosure.
Companies and financial institutions should adopt the framework, embrace 'double materiality', and address their impacts on #nature & society.
Business and finance are entirely dependent on nature🌍
Our Recommendations were designed with extensive market engagement and help organisations report and take action on nature-related issues.
It’s time for business and finance to step forward: tnfd.global/ #TNFD

Trump just called for the suspension of the Constitution and it is the final straw for zero republicans, especially the ones who call themselves “constitutional conservatives.”

Very determined working with President @EmmanuelMacron 🇫🇷, President @Macky_Sall 🇸🇳, and Prime Minister Mark Rutte @MinPres 🇳🇱 on driving adaptation for Africa. #COP27 must deliver for the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program @akin_adesina.

#NaturePositive by 2030! 🌍🌱✊
A window exists to forge an international agreement capable of reversing biodiversity loss and securing a nature-positive world by 2030. Fixing finance will be key

We have lost Gustavo Fonseca, one of the great champions for the Amazon and global biodiversity. He supported so many people, countries and institutions and will be greatly missed. @theGEF @TheWCS @ConservationOrg

President @Macky_Sall's bold leadership is vital for accelerating adaptation action. At the Africa Adaptation Summit, the international community must address the adaptation funding crisis and close the investment gap in Africa through #AAAP @akin_adesina

Investment in a healthy and resilient #ocean🌊is vital for long-term economic resilience and lasting prosperity.
I'm delighted to make this contribution to the first #ADBHealthyOceans Tech and Finance Forum, 26-28 Jan 2022.
The overall asset value of the global ocean is estimated at US$24 trillion. Yet it's suffering from increasing impacts of climate change and unsustainable development.
@WWFLeadFinance shares the importance of #oceanfinance for a vibrant blue economy @ the #ADBHealthyOceans Forum.

Disappointing closure of @COP26 as for the single resistance and opposition of India to phase out coal and eliminate subsidies to fossil fuels. Sad. But the Paris Agreement and its process is stronger than deniers and resisters and will soon overcome them!!!
David S. McCauley retweeted
Right now, negotiations are in full swing at @COP26. 👀
These are key as they’ll outline the global response to the #ClimateCrisis & affect our relationship with nature for decades to come.
