Biodiversity restoration is a solution for climate change. Account managed by Shirley Clerkin.

Nature based solutions are just one of the benefits of biodiversity.

Hear reflections & examples of #nature-based solutions for #climate at Heritage Officer webinar this Thursday 10 Feb, including this drain-blocking on Sliabh Beagh. For links go to: https://t.co/pIPPsbSrM6

Something else about #nitrogen pollution that can have negative feedback loops for nature and climate from #entangled life

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

Biodiversity advocates and climate action campaigners must build alliances to work together

Where are the climate allies?

At the risk of repeating myself, folks, the global weather system is going haywire, right before our eyes

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

Absolutely

[Catherine (Farrell) Wilkie @seewilkie]

We can’t talk climate and biodiversity separately, and we must act with both in mind. Looking forward to talking this out at the EPA Climate meeting June 23rd @EPAIreland @NatCap_Irl @IncaseProject @TCD_NatSci

Delighted to be interviewed on this Podcast talking about #heritageofficers and our work in local authorities and with humans, as well as #biodiversity and #heritage. @BioDataCentre @LGMAIreland @laoisheritage @KildareHeritage

Put the spotlight on Earth everyday and #BiodiversityDay

[WWF @WWF]

Tomorrow, we celebrate #BiodiversityDay and all the fascinating species of the world 🌱🐾 Let’s remind ourselves of why we need to mend our relationship with nature, to protect our health and the shared planet we call home🌎#Connect2Earth #ForNature

[shirley clerkin @shirleyclerkin]

For #BiodiversityDay we want to encourage the protection of #bogs which means no peat moss or compost which includes peat used in our gardens. If we are serious about #climate & #ForNature this is essential. @MonaghanHerita1 @BiodiversityFo1

Lovely marsh described here, #monaghan drumlin bases have or had many of these lovely habitats. Worth much more than you might think as described here by Shane. @MonaghanHerita1 @BiodiversityFo1

part of our Monaghan Wetlands Action Plan under development at present is our attitudes survey with @WetlandSurveys thanks to farmers journal for covering story. Link to survey is in the story. @MonaghanHerita1 @MonaghanCoCo @BiodiversityFo1

This is what nature is up against. In the Congo actions speak very loudly, murder of rangers who protect the gorillas and other wildlife. Here it’s death by a thousand cuts to nature, gradual loss of the baseline, shifting sands, smoke and mirrors.

#Nature holds the key to 1/3 of the climate solution.

We need ecosystem restoration to stay below 2°C global temperature rise.

We need to grow trees & they need to be the right trees, at the right place & the right time.

We need #GenerationRestoration: https://t.co/N69Qk5FDvx

I think the modh conniollach was invented for 2020. Things you would do if the conditions were right. 😭😭

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

The study says planting trees, the “nature-based solution” is not always an appropriate way of preserving biodiversity & storing carbon.Peatlands,wetlands provide habitats for a wealth of unique species & store vast amounts of carbon when well looked after https://t.co/ffHFK7qYOJ

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

Despite covering a small area, they really pack a carbon punch when it comes to carbon storage in ecosystems,” Dr. Waddington said. “They are really important in global climate regulation.” @MonaghanHerita1 @shirleyclerkin

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Protecting peat bogs could help the world avert the worst effects of global warming, a new study has found. https://t.co/R5LCxT8CKi

Biodiversity at the centre of decision making will improve the lot for everyone...except of course bad businesses but they will follow the money and change if they must.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Biodiversity is a key driver of sustainable development.

Healthy, biodiverse ecosystems sustain humanity by providing air, water & other services.

Countries unlock new economic opportunities, jobs & #NatureBasedSolutions to challenges when they protect their biodiversity.

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

Nature-based solutions https://t.co/QRFkQl0Ayk the new Climate Bill recognises the value of biodiversity for climate - it is part of one big giving circle - if do the right things if course

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

Very important that this direction is seized and acted upon

[BiodiversityForClimate @BiodiversityFo1]

This is a positive development in the #climatebill - the only way is to address both problems together

[Irish Wildlife Trust @Irishwildlife]

Fantastic to see nature-based solutions included in the #climatebill !

Well done @WhitmoreJen who fought for this measure
