#DYK Wetlands occupy 5-8% of the Earth’s land surface yet they hold between 20 to 30% of all estimated organic soil carbon!

This graphic from @VisualCap shows just how vital #wetlands are! ⤵️

The @IUCNRedList of Threatened Species, the barometer of biodiversity, has grown this year exceeding 40,000 species. It reminds us all that the only way forward for future generations is to dedicate our efforts and our economy to restoring and conserving our life support system.

Recent survey shows that only 17% of Board of Directors serving on Sustainability committees have sustainability expertise.Imagine if only 17% of the directors serving on the audit committee had financial literacy?Concerning indeed.Having Climate competent boards is a must by now

Amazonia is closer to a catastrophic ecological tipping point than any time in the last 100,000 years, and human activity is the cause. Rainforest could be replaced by grasslands within our lifetime. We need political will! #LeticiaPact @wef @IvanDuque https://t.co/NdLuS2uBSJ

Banken gaan biodiversiteitsbehoud op de agenda zetten. In 2024 worden 1e resultaten verwacht. Het kan een kantelpunt zijn want banken zijn met overheden de financiers van biodiversiteitverlies. Druk blijft hard nodig zodat overheden / bedrijven sneller stappen zetten @trouw @undp

Groenlands ijs is in halve eeuw niet zo hard gesmolten als nu. Het verloor 532 miljard ton ijs: 1,5 mm zeespiegelstijging. Een ecosysteem-herstellende economie is echt geen hobby meer, maar een noodzakelijke stap in onze evolutie als menselijke soort.

This should be front page news. 50% of the arctic has melted in 50 years - a terrifying indicator of an escalating global crisis that can only be addressed when we tackle systemic problems together, not just the symptoms.

But it does not come from governments or corporations.
