The world is waking up to the fact that our future depends on reversing the loss of nature just as much as it depends on addressing climate change. You can't solve one without the other. This report underscores the urgent need to protect our natural world. https://t.co/JFpBBCLN7a

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

Today marks a turning point for our future. The US has now passed historic climate and clean energy investments. More work remains. But today's action sets us firmly on the path to success in this nation’s struggle against the climate crisis. https://t.co/BG6XU17R6D

Leadership matters. This announcement from the Government of Colombia puts it at the forefront of global efforts to protect 30% of global seascapes by 2030. WWF thanks the government and the many partners who brought this to life through Heritage Colombia. https://t.co/14wfN1JAy0

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

Heritage Colombia gives life to the vision behind the new Enduring Earth collaboration, which WWF is partnering on with @nature_org @pewenvironment & @zomalab. Together, we aim to help more countries replicate the kind of progress celebrated here today.

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

We can’t solve the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss without nature. This transaction in Colombia will help finance the long-term protection of that nation’s most treasured places. But it also charts a course for other nations to follow. https://t.co/LNZ8t8pfIB

Protecting mangroves helps improve livelihoods, keep carbon in the ground, and safeguard coastal communities against the ravages of severe storms. We’re energized to partner with @BezosEarthFund to advance this work in Colombia and around the world.

[Bezos Earth Fund @BezosEarthFund]

Mangroves play a pivotal role in protecting ecosystems and the planet. They act as a natural solution to climate change, nurture biodiversity, shield coastlines, and support local livelihoods. We are working with @World_wildlife and others to protect this natural powerhouse.

WWF remembers legendary conservation biologist Thomas Lovejoy, who passed away on December 25, 2021. Our statement: https://t.co/bM7waFTo3V

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

The Tropical Andes deliver huge benefits for climate & local communities. This new award from @BezosEarthFund enables WWF, @nature_org, @pewenvironment & @zomalab to work toward permanent protection of those benefits. We're grateful for their partnership.

[Bezos Earth Fund @BezosEarthFund]

We are pleased to announce $443M in grants to advance environmental justice, conserve and restore nature, and improve monitoring & accountability. These 44 grants will help enable some of the world’s leading change agents to act quickly on the challenges of this decisive decade.

Today @americaisallin brought diverse voices from frontline communities to #COP26, who helped underscore the urgency of addressing the climate impacts already being felt. Thanks to @mayorcantrell, @PresFawnSharp and all participants for sharing their stories.

Keeping the Amazon intact stands among our highest priorities for climate and biodiversity. Honored to be working with @ivanduque, @carlosecorreaE, @cristiansamper, & others to bring innovative approaches to conserve the Amazon and set an example for countries around the world.

We need more companies to advocate for strong climate policy to build momentum in Congress. With the budget and infrastructure bills currently being debated, it's now or never. Thanks to Walmart's @kathleenforgood for sending this important signal: https://t.co/XlWGtCBH9z

Reclaiming the mantle of climate leadership means contributing America’s fair share toward global climate finance.

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

By significantly increasing our commitment to climate finance, President Biden can signal to the world that we are committed to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and strengthen our leverage going into international negotiations at COP26. Now is the moment to act. 🧵

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

It will also enable them to transition more rapidly toward a net-zero future. And it will improve health and livelihoods for their people.

On May 12 my old friends at the @AssociatesBPL are hosting what promises to be a fascinating conversation with writer and naturalist @SyTheAuthor. Consider tuning in if you can: https://t.co/XdMbVpOSRS

Last week I joined CEOs of @ConservationOrg, @nature_org & @TheWCS on a letter to @POTUS. Our message: we're grateful for your bold actions on climate so far, & we urge you to bring that same leadership to the challenge of global nature loss. Our letter: https://t.co/0UcdWTg8Ts

[Carter Roberts @Carter_Roberts]

Thanks Makhtar and @IFC_org for an energizing conversation about everything from our love of nature to our passion for music – and the link between the two. Let’s do it again soon.

[Makhtar Diop @Diop_IFC]

Had a great time chatting w/ @WWF-US CEO @Carter_Roberts for the #ClimateBiz podcast's #EarthDay episode. Discussed our commitment to the environment, our vision for #greenfinance, & our ideas to ensure businesses protect #biodiversity in emerging markets: https://t.co/3rDEboYuLH
