Nature Based Solutions to climate, pollution and biodiversity decline have proved to be cost effective. We need to replicate and upscale them identify constraining factors and enabling conditions. @UNEP @UNDESA @UNEP_NAmerica @UNEP_NYO @IPBES @FAO

Nature underpins the majority of global #GDP through the services it provides to people, such as clean air, food, and water.

So, investing in #nature makes economic sense.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

It was such a pleasure to attend the private view of the #TrueToNature exhibition at the @FitzMuseum_UK last night. And even more so to see our small contribution to the #Trees section, adding our voice to this wonderful collection.

Watch this space for more collaboration!

[Cambridge Canopy Project @CamCanopyProj]

In the past 2 planting seasons 1,300 new #trees were planted in the city. So, chances are, there'll be a young #tree near your home/workplace.

The spring has been very dry & these trees need some help.

PLEASE help us to water the saplings on #Logansmeadow. Simply carry a bottle of water, or as much as you can, and water the roots. Especially large or obviously distressed ones. Many thanks! @CamCanopyProj #Cambridge #trees
