Very pleased to share our new Ocean Initiative from the Packard Foundation's Ocean Director, Meg Caldwell. A healthy ocean is essential for people and for the planet - we will be supporting critical work by many partners to achieve that goal. https://t.co/6zB3zZeg4R

✨Meet the 2022 #PackardFellows!✨
These 20 early career scientists and engineers are daring to think big, asking questions and exploring new areas of research that can change our world.

We are excited to see what they do with this 5 year fellowship! https://t.co/M4SBKhKjXq

I do not view bioenergy as being climate friendly & call on the EU to stop encouraging & incentivizing its use.

Climate action & nature protection must go hand in hand. Science is clear: there are huge risks to climate & biodiversity from bioenergy esp. the burning of trees. 1/4

BREAKING: Washington Post reveals that Trump has been scrambling to find a team of star criminal defense lawyers ever since the day that Mar-a-Lago got raided, but “everyone is saying NO” to him because he’s crazy and always stiffs his lawyers. RT IF YOU FEEL ZERO PITY FOR TRUMP!

It is a sad moment when the nation’s strongest action on climate is simultaneously bolstering the fossil fuel economy that has caused the climate problem and creates pollution harming the lives of people, particularly in communities of color in the U.S.

🎉BIG NEWS: The biggest piece of climate legislation just passed Congress! Our @ReidWalt on the significance of the Inflation Reduction Act and new momentum for #ClimateActionNow. #IRA

[Walt Reid @ReidWalt]

The IRA is a huge victory, the most significant step the nation has taken to stop climate change, and will put the U.S. back in a global leadership role. But we still have much more work to do if we are to have a just and equitable solution to climate change here in the U.S.

This #oceanaction from @POTUS is an incredibly important step toward protecting the health of the ocean and the health and rights of all people who depend on it. #enduringoceansolutions

[Walt Reid @ReidWalt]

Nice piece here (https://t.co/FS6VwqUN2K) describing how the #ClimateBreakthroughProject is helping to meet the need for high-risk bold innovation to address the climate challenge.

[Walt Reid @ReidWalt]

This #IntlForestDay (and every day), remember that keeping forests standing and recognizing Indigenous People’s rights to their forests is critical for human rights, climate, biodiversity and just and sustainable development.

An amazing group of #ClimateBreakthrough awardees! How to make change happen: Find amazing people, give them resources, and get out of their way…

There are 4x as many households in the Bay Area who are eligible for federal housing assistance than there are housing vouchers or public housing to serve them. And the Bay Area has underbuilt deeply affordable housing by more than 37,000 units over the last seven years.

Our ocean 🌊takes care of us—giving us beaches to play on, food to eat, & livelihoods that support our communities—all while fighting #ClimateChange.

The ocean needs to be an essential player in #COP26 discussions. #OceanClimateAction

Indigenous Peoples & local communities are the best #GuardiansOfTheForest. We need to recognize, prioritize, & promote Indigenous knowledge so that decisions on #climatechange & land use are informed by their expertise and not at their expense. #COP26 https://t.co/X5JO5xnUtS

[Packard Foundation @PackardFdn]

Indigenous Peoples and local communities are the guardians of our forests 🌲 , lands⛰, and ocean 🌊. That’s why we’re joining the $1.7B pledge to support #IPLC rights & leadership: https://t.co/dnw69Aqd0i.

Supporting indigenous peoples and local communities territorial rights and management is the right thing to do in its own right. It also has significant co-benefits for climate, health, and biodiversity.
