[Peers for the Planet @Peers4Planet]

Thanks to the Sustainable Nitrogen Alliance for joining us in Parliament to discuss the issue of nitrogen pollution, which impacts several of the drivers and causes of both climate change and biodiversity loss, from agricultural and water pollution to air quality and GHG levels.

[Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) @SEIresearch]

Progress: #UNEA6 approved key resolutions on air pollution and climate action, including the African Integrated Assessment.

@KevinHicks_SEI, who helped coordinate the Assessment, applauds the decision and calls for unified action.

Urgent action is needed to tackle #AirPollution.

@KevinHicks_SEI spoke to @BBC #Countryfile about ammonia emissions from farming, their environmental effects and the role of agricultural intensification.

How industrial agriculture is disturbing the nitrogen cycle and undermining conditions for life on Earth https://t.co/2UoCcEnRQa via @FR_Conversation

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

When addressing the climate crisis, the focus often centers on carbon dioxide emissions & methane.

Yet nitrous oxide is 300 times more potent & remains active in the atmosphere for more than 100 years.

Urgent action is needed to #BeatNitrogenPollution: https://t.co/8Ni2siJ0sF

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Countries must step up their joint efforts to reduce nitrogen waste by 2030.

From addressing the sources of nitrogen pollution to adopting a strategy to manage nitrogen at every step of its cycle, discover the different ways to #BeatNitrogenPollution: https://t.co/8Ni2siIsD7

[European Environmental Bureau @Green_Europe]

Nutrient pollution threatens drinking water, endangers health and kills ecosystems☠️

@EU_Commission promised a plan to address this. We must:

✅embrace #agroecology
✅reduce #FoodWaste
✅shift to #SustainableDiets

Where is #INMAP ⁉️

WHAT a moment! 🤯

We **think** @isaguha and @ejrainfordbrent enjoyed that one.

[lisa emberson @EmbersonL]

Dr. Chris Malley @SEIresearch highlights the importance of implementing NDCs. In Nigeria, implementing the NDC will see 30,000 fewer people dying from air pollution in addition to benefits of reducing climate change. Great session at @CCACoalition meeting in Bangkok.

I love my job so much. I love the people I work with. I want them to be paid fairly regardless of their gender or race. I want manageable workloads so that they can spend time with the ones they love. I want them to be on secure contracts. 1/

[IFOAM Organics Europe @OrganicsEurope]

Heiner Gröschner (@bioland) stressed the differentiation of yield between conventional farming and #organic farming is also linked to not using synthetic #pesticides in organic. Proper fertilization CAN solve the #yieldgap.

[IFOAM Organics Europe @OrganicsEurope]

Josette Garnier "#Organic IS NOT less productive, organic farmers who use a lot of fertilizers can harvest as much as conventional ones. If we combine #fertilizers reduction with a change of diet (less meat and more vegetables), the gap in terms of food production can be solved."

[Kevin Hicks @KevinHicks_SEI]

Time for like minded initiatives in Africa to link up to match policy with modelling, measurements and evaluation @AfricaNitrogen @ANGA_AtmosSci

New @CCACoalition African Integrated Assessment of Air Polluton and Climate Change also shows how N pollution N2O (40%), NH3 (67%) and NOx (80%) could be significantly reduced under the Agenda 2063 Scenario by 2030 and 2063

Out now! Our new report with @UNEP @_AfricanUnion shows how African leaders can:

👩‍🍼Prevent 200K premature deaths/year by 2030 (880K/year by 2063)
🌫️Cut CO2 emissions 55% + CH4 emissions 74% by 2063
🌱Improve food security
🌡️Stay below 1.5

[Åsa Persson @Perssonasa]

This report is something that we at @SEIresearch are incredibly proud to have supported. Truly integrated perspective on #climate and #SDGs , owned and developed regionally, and filling important data gaps.
