The determination of young people worldwide is responsible for much of the #ClimateAction that we have seen.

Ahead of the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi, I ask youth everywhere to turn up the volume in calling for change.

Together, let’s fight for a better, brighter future.

Apart from offering nature-based solutions to the #ClimateCrisis, #mangroves also support coastal resilience & livelihoods by protecting shorelines & being vibrant #biodiversity hotspots.
Their protection and restoration is critical.

Mangroves are one of the most powerful nature-based solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. Their root system defends us against extreme weather events.

By safeguarding mangroves, we protect ourselves.

Take a minute to think about our oceans...

🌊Oceans act as the largest carbon sink in the 🌍
🌊Oceans host 80% of life on the 🌍
🌊Oceans provide half of the 🌍’s oxygen

The health of our oceans affects us all.

A global-wide systemic change on the production and life cycle of plastics is needed to curb #PlasticPollution.
#ZeroWaste #plasticfree #SustainableLiving

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Every year, 5️⃣1⃣ million tonnes of plastic leak into nature.

Plastic pollution is threatening our planet's biodiversity.

To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need to tackle the root causes and transform the way we produce, consume and dispose of plastics.
