Cities vs. nature? Not at all – the way to attain great cities is to embrace and invest in nature https://t.co/eP0RZTHsRT

I spoke with @JoeyGardiner about how nature can help communities thrive: check out the case for greener cities in the latest issue of @wsp #NatureBasedSolutions https://t.co/V98Jqyxooc

Some call it the lungs, others the heart of the planet. 💙

It’s undeniable: the ocean is vital for life on Earth.

Here's how we protect it: https://t.co/DInkNygr3e

The @IPCC_CH's latest ocean report has grim news for coastal and island communities: extreme sea-level events that once occurred every 100 years could happen annually by 2050.

But #NatureBasedSolutions can still help, if we act now. #SROCC https://t.co/XMBeCNIlWp

When it comes to climate action, the devil is in the details, blogs @LynnScarlett1.

Real change takes determination: https://t.co/UQKuyI2xuB

Exactly - urban green spaces can improve health outcomes and social cohesion, but science-based implementation is essential. @wef https://t.co/GJZ9caHmWW

[Sally Jewell @sallyjewell]

Natural climate solutions are critical to addressing climate change, but they are underdeployed & underfunded. Orgs like @nature_org and leaders like @GeorgeMonbiot & @GretaThunberg are showing the world it’s not too late—nature can make all the difference.https://t.co/phZOuGWKkX

The findings in the upcoming #IPCC ocean and ice report are expected to be dire. But the last thing we need is panic that leads to paralysis.

Let's turn our concerns into ambitious action: https://t.co/PBowusfN5R #SROCC

We often say that “children are the future.” The #climatestrike makes it clear: young people are our present, our inspiration, and the reason we have to act now on climate change.

A good review of climate change adaptation challenges that coastal cities in developing countries face: https://t.co/Vu03CYeHIW

The #IPCC ocean and ice report releases on September 25. We're tackling:

-What to expect
-Why it matters
-What we can do about it

The message from @UN's recent reports couldn't be clearer: business as usual is a threat to climate, biodiversity, land and ocean.

And every degree of global warming counts: https://t.co/Es2TU6VLtc

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

And it goes way beyond perceptions of health! Lots of studies now showing quantifiable links between nature and health outcomes, although the quality and strength of evidence varies among the particular nature/health pathways.

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

Well done, @LynnScarlett1 !! 👏

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

Excited to see the appropriation by Congress for money to increase community resilience, rather than just reconstruction. Let's just hope the program is implemented well https://t.co/bK7foEwuoV

Smaller tech startups play an important role in solving local urban challenges—big companies can promote sustainability (and even turn a profit) by supporting their efforts https://t.co/CuonniWAvo @nature_org @techstars

An important new paper on income and heat wave risk in dozens of US cities. I feel scooped somewhat, as I am working with USFS to map trees and ecosystem service provision for hundreds of US cities, but we aren't quite done yet https://t.co/PL8mJvo1iM

The quality andquantity of water flowing into thousands of cities around the world is directly dependent on the landscapes through which it flows https://t.co/6qNEiDm20q @nature_org

An interesting study of how the shape of urban greenspace affects the reduction in air temperature https://t.co/D55UtsnzpF
