Have really enjoyed these few days of #NbSDigitalDialogues. Thank you to the organizers @NatureBasedSols & presenters for highlighting important discussions like the one below (& many more). Looking forward to continued conversations & reconvening (hopefully in-person) next year!

[Nature-based Solutions Initiative @UniofOxford @NatureBasedSols]

Pushing forward on #naturebasedsolutions means moving away from short-termism, to look at longer term impacts, and focusing on social and ecological returns not just economic returns #NbSdigitaldialogues @suechomba @NatCapCoalition #finance

In a recent post for our @Climate_Focus_ blog series, I give my quick take on #wickedproblems and the need to act now for #systemschange - I hope you find it interesting!

[Climate Focus @Climate_Focus_]

So-called #wickedproblems, such as #climatechange or the COVID-19 pandemic, are the most complex challenges our societies face. Find out what good solutions to such problems might look like in our latest blog post.

@s_carodenuto @Climate_Focus_ @MeridOrg Great discussions, and so glad you could join!

[Climate Focus @Climate_Focus_]

Our very own @CMJStreck will feature on BBC Radio 4's new monthly series on #forests and #deforestation. With data from @WorldResources' @globalforests and context and analysis from @Climate_Focus_, the series will explore why deforestation matters.

Totally worth scrolling through the wonderfully weird illustrations!

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing," Greta Thunberg told world leaders at the U.N. climate summit.

“The power of data is in connecting datasets that have never been connected before” - @tobyagardner. “We shouldn’t use a lack of data or data gaps as excuses for inaction [...] We should use data we do have to deliver on [sustainability] goals in more efficient ways.” @TraseEarth

[Forest Declaration Platform @Forest_Platform]

“Without the traditional knowledge from indigenous communities, [the] forests would no longer exist.

Love seeing an all-women panel on shifting finance from grey to green! Great comments from @FrancesJSeymour, Board Chair on behalf of ART/Emergent, @kkemperwb, Global Director of Env, Nat Res, & Blue Eco, World Bank, @DebMarkowitz, VP of Initiatives & Campaigns, Ceres #NYDF5Years

“We need to develop a global market economy within the boundaries in nature” and “we have to overcome the view that there are tradeoffs between the environment and development” - Hon. @olaelvestuen, Minister of Climate & Env, Norway #NYDF5Years #NatureNow #UNClimateSummit

[Justin Adams @JustinCMAdams]

Powerful words from @EU Vice President @TimmermansEU - “we need to recognize neoliberalism has failed and we need regulation if we want to preserve the worlds forests” #NatureNow #NatureBasedSolutions #UNClimateSummit

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

“There are positives happening but these are islands of solutions in an ocean of mediocrity” - Hon. @ZacGoldsmith, Minister of Env & IntDev UK. “It is probable we could render this world uninhabitable without breaking any laws [...] we have to rewrite the rules of the market.”

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

What the @NYDFAssessment report tells us is that “we should look ourselves in the mirror, we should be afraid, but we should not be discouraged, not lose hope, and we should learn from what is wrong and move forward” - @AndrewSteerWRI, President and CEO @WorldResources

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

“The Minister of Agriculture is the single most challenging person for the Minister of Environment.” - Hon. Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, Minister of Environment and Energy, Costa Rica at the #NYDF five-year event. “If we can work together we can have a direct impact.”

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

@elisehunchuck For the science/policy perspective you could check out the report we just published on https://t.co/dQkm0lMTwt :) It synthesizes the latest research/data to present a picture of the state of global forests and efforts to address deforestation. Maybe useful for background/context!

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

@toridykes I might be! Would depend when it starts as I’ll be gone most of October.

[Ingrid Schulte @ingridvschulte]

A huge thank you to all who contributed to this assessment and made it possible. Proud to share the (sobering) results of our hard work and feel very fortunate for the opportunity to collaborate with so many fantastic people & orgs. Time for #deforestation -> #forestpositive!

[Forest Declaration Assessment @Forest_Assess]

JUST RELEASED: Five-year assessment report of the New York Declaration on Forests finds that despite high ambition in 2014, forests are falling - and burning - faster than ever. Priorities must shift to protect and restore natural forests.

[Justin Adams @JustinCMAdams]

This is the most comprehensive review of #forests globally. It highlights that we’re only making progress to reverse #deforestation when we work collaboratively. We need to accelerate #partnerships to turn the tide and shape a #forestpositive future! https://t.co/iOTqYE5krM

[CLUA @ClimateLandUse]

Halting forest loss requires "a serious systemic shift in behaviour - from everyone - by reducing demand for commodities that carry embedded deforestation, reducing meat consumption, and investing in governance and protecting rights of indigenous peoples.” https://t.co/2MqtEexLbV
