In both the upcoming COP16 negotiations and the 'corridors', we want everyone in Cali to be focussing on how we can achieve these 6 priorities 👇 to #savenaturetogether.
Let's make this UN Biodiversity Conference a success!
#COP16#30x30#biodiversity
Exciting! Everyone loves a pangolin and soon one of their Range States 🇰🇪 will have an action plan to help protect them. Tune in to the launch on 8 October. 👇 My colleagues have put in a lot of work on this - congratulations! #StopPangolinTrafficking
🐟 We need a healthy ocean and abundant marine life to build a climate-proof future.
🌊 The #BlueManifesto is our urgent call to protect marine ecosystems and secure a sustainable future by 2030
This year, 1 August is #EarthOvershootDay. Unfortunately, that means humanity’s demand for ecological resources in a given year has exceeded what Earth can regenerate.

I was at last night's @DefraGovUK event: a hot room, lots of lively conversation, and plenty of hope that actions on the #biodiversity and #climate crises are going to follow warm words - both at home and in UK leadership in international fora, especially #COP16

🫰Funding to tackle the #biodiversity crisis is a key constraint.
⚖️A new report finds most countries aren't paying their fair share.
⌛️Alongside quantity, another key question is quality! $$$ must get to the right actors and urgently.

Ocean acidification puts marine life & coastal communities at risk.
Let's safeguard this incredible biodiversity hotspot #ForNature & humanity.

Next week the world will focus on small island developing states at #SIDS4.
SIDS face lots of challenges, but it's not all #doomandgloom. We're celebrating 30 islands restored in 30 years, saving species from extinction, while improving resilience!🎉 https://t.co/x04wYScoRZ
Often nations' critical #minerals strategies pay minimal attention to climate, biodiversity and social impacts. Yet healthy nature is our main ally in tackling these crises. Hope this @UN panel is an opportunity to consider a wider set of implications!
The renewable energy transition relies on critical #minerals, such as copper, lithium, nickel & cobalt.
These minerals are an opportunity to create jobs and diversify economies - but only if managed well.
More about the new @UN Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals 👇
@UNFCCC@UN Often critical #minerals strategies focus on securing/diversifying supplies, with minimal attention to climate, biodiversity and social impacts. Yet healthy nature is our main ally in tackling these crises. Seize this opportunity to consider a wider set of implications!
#nurdles (aka pellets) are one type of #microplastics in our environments in huge quantities. Good news: this pollution is preventable.
But need political will to ensure ALL players in the supply chain make the necessary changes.
👀 on #PlasticsTreaty negotiators #INC4!
‘Let’s finish the long overdue agreement on plastics. None of us should continue to be force fed a diet of microplastics’
- John Kerry, #OurOceanGreece
We quite agree! @marine_plastics@brkfreeplastic

As #PlasticsTreaty negotiators arrive at #INC4, #biodiversity must not be an afterthought! 🪼🐟🌊
@FaunaFloraInt and @ZSLMarine propose some tangible ways we can ensure that the Treaty text ends up leading to good outcomes for people and planet https://t.co/tc64tStUFE
Without biodiversity, there is no future for humanity.
#Pollution is one of the key drivers of #biodiversity loss, & the #plasticstreaty can help to turn the tide.
