At #COP17, UN Secretary-General António Guterres bold call for action on nature: for every $30 invested in nature, $70 is spent destroying it. "Subsidising fossil fuels is subsidising suicide." #COP17Armenia #TakingActionForNature #KMGBF #Biodiversity #NaturePositive

The #COP17 Leaders Summit is underway. Opening it, PM Nikol Pashinyan reflected on how Armenia's lakes and forests sustained people through hard times, and on replacing illegal logging with tourism. #COP17Armenia #TakingActionForNature #KMGBF #Biodiversity #NaturePositive

Elephants trudge through a heavy shower in Samburu National Reserve. The park is thriving right now - lush, green and alive. 💚

With the leadership of more than 20 Senators and Members of Congress, the Mexico Oceans Caucus was officially launched in the LXVI Legislature.

This multi-party platform brings together legislators united by a shared commitment to protect our oceans, seas, and coasts.

With the support of ICCF Mexico, the initiative aims to strengthen legislative cooperation, advance science-based policymaking, and promote a shared national agenda for the sustainable use and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems.

The Mexico Oceans Caucus reaffirms its mission to build, from within Congress, a future where the well-being of communities and the health of our oceans move forward together.

Multilateral banks confirm they doubled adaptation finance since 2019, reaching US$26 billion last year for low-income countries. Still far short of the US$300–400 billion annually needed, but the fastest growth on record. #COP30 https://t.co/8Dk47Kknd0
