A week later, and we’re still inspired 🌿

Our Nature Talks Soirée brought together bold voices, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to advancing nature-based climate action across Africa. A powerful reminder that real change happens when we come together with purpose. #AC4NCA

Accra’s flooding problem is no longer a natural disaster. It is a man-made crisis fueled by greed, poor planning, weak enforcement of regulations, and a dangerous disregard for nature and the environment.

[Convention on Wetlands @RamsarConv]

The Global Wetland Outlook (GWO) 2025 was released in June 2025 — and it’s the most powerful snapshot yet of the state of the world’s wetlands.

Drawing from the report, prepared with input from the Scientific and Technical Review Panel of the Convention on Wetlands (STRP) and international partners, this landmark report reveals where wetlands stand today, why they matter more than ever, and what it will take to secure their future.

So, exactly how much progress are we really making on wetland restoration? Well, the GWO report reveals some facts that are both urgent and encouraging:

- 74% of countries report being engaged in wetland restoration
- 66% have set national restoration targets
- 70%+ have identified priority sites
- Yet fewer than 10% have implemented restoration at the scale needed since COP13

The message is clear: restoration is happening — but not fast enough, and not everywhere.
