Energy Sprawl has found its way onto the American West’s wide-open spaces - Will local communities have a say in the fate of their land? Respect Big Bend is working to ensure they do. https://t.co/3jv2jsMrY2 #bigbend #energysprawl

New evidence that moratoria on land acquisitions reduce tropical deforestation & resulting carbon emissions. See our latest collab in Indonesia https://t.co/sir9iH3Maj leveraging https://t.co/xiBj1xbeud to monitor land grabbing flows

Our new global human modification study provides a comprehensive global map of human modification that allows us to better understand current conditions for #conservation planning, so we can find solutions to balance development & conservation so both people and nature thrive

As we strive to protect all of Earth’s inhabitants, we should also focus on protecting moderately modified ecoregions, which are the most common & are vulnerable to further land-use change. More in our new @nature_org study https://t.co/SSq5LEx8iL #biodiversity @dicapriofdn

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

Our new study of global human modification published @GlobalChangeBio provides an updated map of global human modification showing 95% of land has some modification and 84% of land has multiple human impacts. Read more at: https://t.co/SSq5LEx8iL

Key msgs from #SR15 @IPCC_CH (by Hoesung Lee):
-every bit of warming matters
-every year matters &
-every choice matters
Let's make sound choices for #Renewables development - siting on converted lands & avoiding natural lands. We show this can be done! https://t.co/c7FMX9e7hh

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

Can we minimize land-use competition while developing renewable energy? Yes! By siting renewables on already converted lands we can meet #NDC energy goals and protect natural lands. Our new study featured by @Nature4Climate: https://t.co/D7oUyLC2kU #COP24 #RE100

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

On this last day of #COP24 - Incentivizing renewable energy development on already converted lands should be in the @COP24 solutions toolbox to meet #NDC energy targets while protecting natural lands that provide #NaturalClimateSolutions. See our new study https://t.co/S6qXmJOcCz

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

Steering renewable energy development away from natural lands presents our most direct path to meeting Paris Climate Agreement emissions goals. #COP24

Read the new study in @IOPenvironment: https://t.co/bUMibBZBdZ

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

By developing renewable energy on already converted lands, countries can meet climate mitigation and energy access goals while also maintaining #NaturalClimateSolutions. See our #Paris2Practice study @IOPenvironment: https://t.co/S6qXmK5Nu7 @UNFCCC @UN_SDG @UNBiodiversity

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

Countries can meet Paris Agreement energy targets and maintain #NaturalClimateSolutions by prioritizing development of renewables on already converted lands and avoiding conversion of natural lands. See our new study: https://t.co/S6qXmJOcCz @Nature4Climate #COP24

[Global Lands Science @TNCLandsScience]

Our new study shows countries (including top 10 emitters) can meet Paris Climate Agreement energy targets by developing renewable energy on already converted lands https://t.co/S6qXmJOcCz @IOPenvironment @nature_org #Paris2Practice

Our new paper says we can do better for climate, nature and people. Enough doom and gloom, let's get on with making the future we want! The Earth is ready, are we?? @nature_org @nature_brains https://t.co/ipvC8E5gak via @wef
