@Bonn1eGreer Not only history but also the political process. I left secondary school in 1994 and never once studied civics. I believe things are different now?

It's incredible how many states at #IMRF are talking about climate migration, with some emphasising the need for expanded legal pathways for adaptation. Given it barely made it in to the two compacts four years ago, this is a major shift...

Partnering with farmers is key to land restoration success

During the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, programs tackling land degradation run the risk of failing unless they shift their approach to include farmers, argue @Ermias_Be & @MarceQuinteroT: https://t.co/f3RiBgR3uz

The UN declared 2021–2030 to be the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, but global initiatives aiming to tackle land degradation run the risk of failing unless they shift their approach to include farmers, argue @Ermias_Be and @MarceQuinteroT. https://t.co/2RqpU9vb7t

67,000 distinct varieties can’t be wrong! Choose @CGIAR @BiovIntCIAT_eng #FutureSeeds as new home. Combine conservation and use of crop diversity to improve crops for higher yields, better nutrition and climate resilience. #OneCGIAR

The UN Decade on #Ecosystem Restoration is a unique opportunity to reverse land degradation at scale.

But we need a new gender-sensitive approach to ensure that our land restoration efforts are truly inclusive & transformative: https://t.co/VyuRKGeFdx
