Our discarded plastic doesn’t disappear - it lingers, polluting our planet, and impacting people and nature🛑.
But it’s not too late to act. Governments must act to #StopPlasticPollution. #UNEA7
🗻 #MountainsMatter because they:
🏠 Provide homes for 1.1 billion people
🌱 Host half of the world's biodiversity hotspots
🌾 Are the origin of 6 of the top 20 food crops
🌳 Forests cover 40% of global mountain areas
💧 Provide 60-80% of the world's freshwater

🌍#WRIExplains: The Land-Use Climate Change Feedback Loop👉 https://t.co/yGHqmCcR80
Land-use change is a big driver of global warming—deforestation and agriculture alone cause nearly 25% of human-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Cutting down trees, plowing up grasslands and draining wetlands release GHGs that fuel climate change. But satellite monitoring shows that this relationship is a two-way street. Climate change itself is increasingly leading to the loss and degradation of forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and even farms, creating a dangerous feedback loop.
How can communities track real restoration progress on the ground?
The Community-Based Restoration Monitoring System (CBRMS) gives users a simple digital tool to monitor tree growth, species, soil conditions, water levels & more, all in one place.

The world is facing real environmental pressures, but we already know what works: restoring ecosystems, cutting pollution, and investing in clean energy all strengthen resilience.
#UNEA7 is a key moment for countries to build on this progress and step up action for a more resilient planet: https://t.co/FujOA5VAVn
The lack of recognition of the benefits provided by healthy urban soils leaves cities more vulnerable to floods, heat, and pollution.
Investing in healthy soils is a cost-effective way to save money, protect health, and strengthen urban systems.
#WorldSoilDay#GreenCities
Over 80% of the world’s food comes from family farmers who depend on #HealthySoils.
Soils in rural areas remain essential to feed urban populations, sustain farmers’ livelihoods and strengthen global food security.
