We're pleased to announce 5 new #naturebasedsolutions projects, which will see some of Australia's leading @dfat#ANCP accredited NGOs and their local partners in the Pacific harness the power of nature to address climate change. https://t.co/pLdHymlMmP
Pacific Islands nations like Vanuatu are least responsible for climate change but are bearing its brunt. Extreme weather events are occurring with increasing frequency and ferocity. Thanks to @GinnyStein for putting this together. #earthday2022
