But this does not say that such forests need many, many times more resources in the first few years. Which is a big minus in a water and nutrient stressed world.
Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global.
We have so many solutions. Let's stop the delays and implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#forests#nature
"We really are a geological force", says @Ricarda_Climate, who adds that human emissions in the coming few years will "lead to changes in the Earth's system for hundreds or even thousands of years".

Ever wondered what the life cycle #carbonfootprint of a wind turbine is? And is it worth the trouble?
On the other hand, the ecological footprint — in terms of its effect on local #biodiversity — should also be considered. Anyone got a resource for that?

*All told, billions of lives depend on how the world responds in this new era."
Do you think social and technological tipping points that can somehow radically limit (or dare I say, reverse) climate change's trajectory? #climatechange

⚠️ Historic droughts in East Africa
⚠️ Floods in South Sudan
⚠️ Retreating glaciers in Kenya, Tanzania & Uganda
A new @WMO report shows how #ClimateChange is already affecting lives and livelihoods in Africa.
Read how countries are stepping up climate action in response 👇🏾
A little talked about effect of #biodiversityloss: fewer numbers and variety of sounds in the natural world. Plantations are acoustically bland and anemic compared to the vigor of a forest with diverse life!

Should we pay for the oxygen we get from trees?
What's the limit to putting a price on nature? Here, we take a look at both sides of this moral dilemma.
