I stand for #palestine and weep. How can we let this continue?

I am deeply disturbed by the horrible situation and dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in Gaza.

In the name of humanity, I call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire.

Day 2 of lifting the ban on #logging in Kenya. Seen three trucks loaded with freshly logged timber by 9am, heading to Nairobi on the Naivasha -Nakuru Road. Another on the way...

Diverse savannah landscapes are special places for people, livelihoods, #biodiversity & for #climatesolutions. See blog👇. Would love your replies with your experiences and #land wisdom!

[UNDP Climate & Forests @UNDP_CF]

Did you know tropical forests and other ecosystems play a vital role in sequestering carbon and mitigating climate change, including the often overlooked African savanna biome?

Often, I have been asked why people do not collect and make money from the plastic in the river, I tell them it is a hard & expensive task to do . Yesterday, I challenged myself- got into the water for one hour to see how much of the recyclable plastic waste I’d be able to gather

#IPCC's 6th report release & #InternationalForestDay a day apart this week. The great thread below underlines - again - #the importance of forest ecosystems, for #ClimateAction..& much more - healthy forests mean healthy people & resilient communities @UNDP_CF @UNDPClimate

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

This amazing figure from yesterday's #IPCC report shows the potential of different approaches to mitigate climate change

It exposes two common misconceptions about 'natural climate solutions'

Second, we need to be taking more carbon out of the atmosphere, where we have too much of it, and putting it back into our soils, ecosystems, and fields through nature-based solutions that can take up as much as 37% of the carbon we produce. https://t.co/Nr4unlTqKf

In a nutshell: we need to turn off the hose as fast as we can, enlarge the drain at all speed, all while learning how to swim + help others learn as well.
