Great to see the projects listed here that will support #naturepositive and productive farming alongside landscape recovery. Great job @sophia_parkinsn and the @DefraGovUK team. Can't wait to see the biodiversity that bounces back! @NaturalEngland and @EnvAgency - go get'em! 💪

Really exciting to see the scale of ambition of landowners and farmers to deliver #LandscapeRecovery. ⁦@NaturalEngland⁩ is proud to be working with them. https://t.co/pWqB2p4mbD

Busy day already at @OceanologyIntl at the @NatureMetrics stand. Hot topics so far have been drone and AUV sampling as well as collecting eDNA using passive samplers. Come find us on R153 - you'll spot us by the cuddly toys that have all been #DetectedbyDNA!

[Laura Plant (She/her) @LauraPlant21]

Seeing the awesome #marinetechnology that helped find #Shackleton's #Endurance, I am even more excited to be at #oceanologyinternational this week! Whether you are searching for shipwrecks or building offshore wind turbines, visit @NatureMetrics at R153 to learn how eDNA can help

Did you watch quite a few films this past year of #lockdown? Wouldn't it be awesome if meaningful films that have real world outcomes were top of our viewing lists?

The issue of 'greenwashing' is close to my heart, as consumers we can vote with our money, but it can be so confusing! I am delighted to see companies made accountable for their claims. 42% of cases were found to be exaggerated, false or deceptive.

“It’s now clear that our governments can’t keep claiming commitment to the Paris agreement, while simultaneously taking actions that blatantly contradict it” A landmark ruling from the U.K., interesting to see if this trend moves to Canada?@JonathanWNV @BoardofTrade @PwC_Canada

Heathrow Third Runway Ruled Illegal Over Climate Change:

The court’s ruling is the first in the world to be based on the Paris agreement, & may have an impact both in the UK & around the globe by inspiring challenges against other high carbon projects.

Best advice of the day: ‘When thinking about setting up a new climate plan, think about why you got up at a hostile hour on a Monday morning to show up to this conversation’ @Arcteryx’s Drummond Lawson. It’s about making #ClimateChange relevant to your business @BoardofTrade

[Laura Plant (She/her) @LauraPlant21]

‘No longer can we think about economics without considering environmental impact’ A clear message on the need for holistic thinking from Fed. Env. & #ClimateChange Minister @JonathanWNV @BoardofTrade #GVBOT #PwCProud that @PwC_Canada is part of this event.

Loving @FortisBC‘s latest energy saving measure! Wearing my @GLOBE_Series Fortis socks means I can dial down my gas fire, best conference freebie out there! Looking forward to hearing more about the role of renewable gas in reducing customer emissions in the #30BY30 plan.

Loved hearing about this @Arcteryx initiative today @GLOBE_Series, turns out it’s hitting a new customer base: 70% of traffic to the re-sell website had never been on https://t.co/dirCQTb4Gh. Great e.g. of the ROI of #sustainableconsumption initiatives. @apprlcoalition #GLOBE2020

Loved hearing about this initiative today at @GLOBE_Series #GLOBE2020 helping to resolve ‘range anxiety’ for #EV drivers. Getting this in place was tough as every province has a different electricity regulations. Shows what passion and collaboration can get done! @MHallFindlay
