Today's front page of the Metro is Prince Harry's new book and page 2 is about the revolving door of cabinet ministers. On page 17 there are 36 words on our failure to maintain a liveable planet. Might just be me, but maybe we need to rethink our priorities? #ClimateCrisis

A team of environmental monitoring experts at @unepwcmc set out to discover which Mediterranean communities are most at risk due to heatwave-induced seagrass loss over the next 30 years. 🌿

[Union for the Mediterranean @UfMSecretariat]

👆 A new study from environmental 🌱 mapping experts at the @unepwcmc has revealed which parts of the #Mediterranean face the greatest socio-economic threats from seagrass loss due to rising sea temperatures. Learn more in the following link https://t.co/g9G4jDiQjx

It's great when tools for conservation can have multiple applications. Here we applied a sensitivity mapping methodology originally developed for the spatial management of extractives 🛢️ to planning adaptation to marine heatwave impacts on seagrass 🌊🌱

[Leo Murphy @leo_murphy13]

Great thread explaining our new paper! TLDR: Seagrass in the Med is increasingly vulnerable to #climatechange and this has serious implications for coastal communities relying on their #ecosystemservices

Congrats @Sarapruc @JakeBedford @Joseph_A_Turner

A critical ask as we tackle the #climatecrisis is to shift finance & financial flows towards nature-positive investments. This new tool from @UNEP & @unepwcmc aims to support these shifts.

#Nature is our most valuable asset. Time we all got behind it.

Check out the new #FinanceImpactHub! Well done to everyone at @UNEP & @unepwcmc for taking what started as a confusing Excel sheet & creating a great tool to help financial institutions start to standardize how we talk about positive environmental & social impacts of investments

[Matt Jones @mij_matt]

🎉Fantastic to see the Land Use Finance Impact Hub launched! Huge collaborative effort by @UNEP and @UNEPWCMC teams to deliver this. The #FinanceImpactHub hosts the positive impacts indicators directory which can support investors to disclose around nature-related opportunities

If you’re NOT already bored of takes on the recently concluded @UNBiodiversity #Geneva meetings, and you ARE interested in 3⃣ business and finance focused takeaways. Then look no further. 👀

Saw @speedomick yesterday outside Lymington in the New Forest. The man is walking 2000 miles in nothing but his Speedos and raising money for some great causes.

Interesting from the @FT. Good to see #biodiversity loss being discussed as a financial issue, but saying markets could recover over 25yrs if mass extinction continues isn't. Implying that if we do nothing it'll be fine will justify more inaction and BAU.

#IUCNcongress To make better decisions companies need better biodiversity data.
Today at 1530 CEST we discuss how to unlock and share private sector biodiversity data with a great panel of experts.

"Recent research has shown that natural regeneration can potentially absorb 40 times more carbon than plantations, and provide a home for more species."🌱 https://t.co/ews8i2m2bg

#G7 recognise the potential of #NatureBasedSolutions & #privatesector implementation. A step in the right direction! However, while NbS support the need to reduce our impact on both #nature & climate, they don't replace it. They cant be an excuse for BaU https://t.co/cik84EUrRi

[Leo Murphy @leo_murphy13]

In order to engage with their investees to halt the loss of #biodiversity and retain #naturalcapital, investors need to know where it's being depleted.

Well some clever people have done some clever things and now they can!

[EJ Milner-Gulland @EJMilnerGulland]

Ask a #conservationist "what do you want?" & we often struggle. Beautifully-written deconstruction of "#ecosystem integrity" by @Emma_Marris, Yasha Rohwer; it's a poor proxy for #cultural #value, #diversity, #complexity, we should be clear about this https://t.co/baKUehBvog

We need to engage those developing infrastructure (road, rail, powerlines) in the early stages of planning and design so they provide for the necessary mitigation measures @Min_TourismKE @tunajibu @USAIDKenya @devcorridors

@NeilBurgess081 @chrismcowen Path along the river from waterbeach is a beautiful cycle, but best left til it gets a bit drier! Route 11 is definitely the easier in the mud. Any tips for spotting these owls, never know where/when is best?
