The natural world faces a dual crisis: climate change and biodiversity loss.

In light of #COP28, we outline five ways that protecting #biodiversity also protects the #climate.

Despite their potential for helping to tackle the #climate crisis, Nature-based Solutions are often overlooked by countries in their Paris commitments.

Along with deep emissions cuts, countries must start putting #NaturebasedSolutions to action.

Stefanie Lang presented LLF in a panel discussion at #COP28 this weekend.

The event explored LLF's relevance as an instrument to support #30x30 & to help close the gap in international biodiversity financing.

An enormous thanks to all our panelists and audience!

Which types of forests are most critical to #biodiversity conservation?

Which types of wetlands are at greatest risk of collapse?

Which types of reefs are most critical to ecosystem services?

IUCN’s Global Typology of Ecosystems can guide you.

80% of the planet’s #biodiversity is found on traditional indigenous territories.

Preserving #biodiversity is essential for food security & nutrition.

Healthy people and 🌎 depend on healthy wetlands. 40% of the world’s species live or breed in wetlands, yet they are disappearing 3x faster than forests.

Nature is a #ClimateCrisis solution. WCS science shows prioritizing the restoration of degraded forest, not just cleared lands, could help meet climate and biodiversity goals more rapidly. Via @MongabayOrg.
