Deep-sea mining threatens over half of molluscs reliant on hydrothermal vents, according to a new @IUCNRedList update.

They are found only at depths up to 5,000 metres below sea level, around vents spewing out water that can be over 450 degrees Celsius.

More than a decade after the Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, accelerating climate change.

Humanity still has time to act #NowForClimate and curb these emissions.

Here's how you can take action: https://t.co/ifqDdDsUQ7

[Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) @BonnConvention]

Migratory species do far more than move across borders: they help keep ecosystems working. 🌱

Elephants disperse seeds and shape landscapes. Whales move nutrients through the ocean and help store carbon. Bats pollinate plants and control insects. Vultures clean up carcasses. Marine turtles, sharks, waterbirds and many others support healthy habitats, food webs and livelihoods.

By safeguarding #MigratorySpecies, we protect the benefits that people and nature rely on every day. And because their journeys cross borders, countries must work together to make sure wildlife conservation gains made in one country are not lost in the next.

Nature shows a remarkable ability to recover from destruction.

But we need legal tools to prevent that destruction in the first place. #Ecocidelaw deters large-scale harm to nature through criminal accountability.

IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law Specialist Group on Crimes that Affect the Environment, which I have the honour of Chairing, has prepared a Position Paper setting out its mandate, position on key issues, and priorities for the 2026-2029 quadrennium. See https://t.co/umrTCExMge

From mountains and hills to plateaus and plains, land is life.

It provides oxygen and acts as an essential carbon sink that regulates the planet's temperature and absorbs its carbon emissions.

Yet unsustainable use is putting these vital ecosystems at risk.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

This year’s theme of #DesertificationAndDroughtDay invites us to recognize, respect and restore rangelands.
Stretching at the confluence of the three Rio Conventions, rangelands constitute a fertile ground for policy coherence.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Healthy land sustains life. Yet drought and land degradation are placing growing pressure on ecosystems worldwide.

Through its Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP), @UNESCO supports countries in better understanding and managing water resources to address drought and water scarcity.

Today, we mark the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought:

Drought, desertification and land degradation threaten lives and livelihoods worldwide.

Wednesday's #DesertificationAndDroughtDay highlights the urgent need for ambitious #ClimateAction to protect and restore land for present and future generations.

[UN Land and Drought @UNCCD]

Rangelands cover half the Earth's land surface and sustain over two billion people.

Up to 50% are now degraded or at risk.

On #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, the @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for urgent action to restore our land.
