NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.

I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

@Danielle_H_BE Gefeliciteerd Danielle! Heel veel succes in de Kamer!

Global restoration is not about planting as many trees as possible. It is about distributing the flow of wealth towards millions of local communities, indigenous populations and farmers that promote biodiversity across the globe.

220+ scientists came together for this major new research in @nature that shows #forests are essential for the world’s #carbon drawdown targets & for #biodiversity. @salesforce is supporting @1t_org to make that happen. https://t.co/rSDLDx26vw

Deal!!! Het was weer een hele klus maar we hebben een deal op F-gassen. Wederom met substantieel klimaateffect en kansen voor Europese industrie: https://t.co/htulqj0Rcw

[Maas Goote 🌍 @maasgoote]

It may not be on the radar of many that are concerned about climate change. Still this new EU legislation on the phase-out of F-gases is a gigantic step forward. Addressing HFCs globally can avoid up to 0.5C warming — a big chunk of the 1.5C goal. Congratulations to all involved.

[ENVI Committee Press @EP_Environment]

🤝 Parliament & Council reached a provisional deal this morning to further cut F-gas emissions, with a zero HFCs target by 2050

A very big win for climate.

[España en la UE @EspanaenUE]

#TRILOGUE | Deal! @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN reach an agreement on 2 regulations:

➡️ fluorinated gases
➡️ ozone depleting substances

The new rules further reduce their emissions into the atmosphere and contribute to limiting global temperature rise.

Vandaag een belangrijke stemming in het Europees Parlement. We stemmen over F-gassen: superbroeikasgassen die tot wel 25.000 keer (!) schadelijker zijn dan CO₂. De wetgeving uit 2013 wordt nu aangescherpt. Een kort draadje over het grote belang van deze fluorkoolwaterstoffen. 👨🏻‍🏫

10 years ago, @TompkinsRewild began the construction of the Jaguar Reintroduction Center in Iberá, the first step in turning Doug's dream of restoring the jaguar there into a reality. 8 jaguars now roam free & wild & the project continues, now run by our offspring, @RewildingArg

I like the term #NaturePositive but have been getting concerned about how it's being loosely applied to anything nice we do for #nature. We need to stand firm with the https://t.co/z6GjPJ88UP definition which is clear about baseline, measurability, and timeframe. A 🧵

Indigenous peoples are the original 👏 and the most skilled 👏 guardians of the Colombian Amazon Rainforest. We agree with our partners @AmazonTeamOrg that tropical forests and local communities that dwell within them are interdependent parts of one whole!
