”World losing area of forest the size of the UK each year.”
We should of course be planting as many trees as possible. But equally important - and hardly ever mentioned - is to leave the existing ones standing and to leave the natural habitats intact. https://t.co/0EGDMZY7vf

Indigenous people from Siberia also participate in Global Climate Strike! For them oil extraction means oil spills and destruction if their ancestral lands.

Hi, it's @MakichyanA from Russia! Today we were able to make joint action with @Fridaysforfut20 @greenpeaceru @ExtinctionR @350 and other allies near the Russian Government house! And now we are starting our protest in the center of Moscow on Pushkinskaya square! Stay tuned!

Russia is sooooooo huge but climate movement is still in it's early stages here. I'm glad more and more people are waking up. Lets see where Russian youth is striking for climate action starting from the Vladivostok city in the Far East.

Here is Novocheboksarsk. Our numbers are relatively small, but it's hard to protest in Russia on any topic. Support our hashtag #LetRussiaStrikeForClimate to help this brave young people! They need your solidarity!

Here is Irkutsk. This year there were huge floods and wildfires in their region and it gets worse year from year beacause of climate change. They surely know why they are here.

I had to write something about the grown-up attitude coming from the climate youth movement. Such a contrast to the juvenile despair in Franzen’s New Yorker article. https://t.co/3P8WqekhnO

@JustinCMAdams @tfa2020 Yeah, it’s generally true that mountains get smaller toward the top. So that’s less coffee for everyone. 😢

“What we have here is a pretty blatant attempt to politicize the science,” said WHRC President Philip Duffy about Trump Administration efforts to limit the climate models used in national climate assessments. “It reminds me of the Soviet Union.” https://t.co/lLoJbAUj9e

As the global demand for #food rises, scientists look at how #biodiversity is key to boosting agricultural productivity. @CIFOR @TCHSunderland @FBaudron @CIMMYT @JSchultner @JeanYvesDuriaux @GergelSarah https://t.co/Mbdb7VOGYK

Under a roadmap launched on Sunday, #CostaRica would achieve “zero net emissions” by 2050, meaning it would produce no more emissions than it can offset—through things such as maintaining and expanding its extensive #forests. https://t.co/h8nuSlv6aI
