Bravo EU! Fantastic to see #NatureRestoration Law has been adopted.🇪🇺showing that a promise made is a promise kept. A victory for nature & multilateralism.

This move makes EU position for @UNBiodiversity #COP16 credible. @UNEP will continue to work with EU #ForPeopleForPlanet.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, students visited the @UN offices in Nairobi for a special event organized by @cifor_icraf & UNEP to learn about soil science and #GenerationRestoration tips for restoring damaged soil.

What footprint will we leave on Earth?

Human activity is one the key drivers of land degradation, putting our planet at risk.

Wednesday is #WorldEnvironmentDay. Join #GenerationRestoration & take action all year for a livable planet in the future.

To mark #WorldEnvironmentDay, CIFOR-ICRAF is hosting interactive sessions with students at the @UNEP campus in Nairobi.

The students are learning about our cutting-edge laboratories, how they work, and how we’re contributing to land restoration, stopping desertification, and building drought resilience.

Thanks to @khalilw11 for making this happen.
Another way to raise the consciousness of soil!!

[Al Gore @algore]

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

We are plagued with dichotomies

Conservation or Agriculture
Land Sparing or Sharing
Rewild or Restore

We need combined approaches:
Agro-ecological management
Multi-scale planning
R+R over whole landscapes

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

Y'all are gonna bring that same energy to end legacy admissions at universities, too... Right?

[Open Foris @OpenForis]

se.plan is a #SEPAL tool for identifying potential areas for restoration. It's a decision support tool that does some multicriteria analysis & cost benefit analysis, & allows the use of custom layers.
