Brazil can maintain or double its agricultural output without losing a single tree in the Amazon.

How? Through a new “bioeconomy,” underpinned with policies & incentives that recognize the full value of nature, combined w/Indigenous knowledge. https://t.co/nXEE1O4JME

Nepal is an incredibly special place, but what this article also tells me is that @nytimes thinks community forestry is “radical policy” https://t.co/UJAh6x3A6j

Only 7% of $1.7B COP 26 pledge is going directly to Indigenous groups https://t.co/nuZ0osJpf5

As the largest historical GHG emitter, the US and @ClimateEnvoy now want to lead on climate solutions. But first we need to effectively ban imports of stolen timber and other products tainted by deforestation. https://t.co/c2EZDiSmH1

Just announced at #COP27
New 'Forests, People, Climate' collaborative aims to mobilize $1.2 billion in new philanthropic support over the next five years for ending and reversing deforestation while delivering just, sustainable development.

Less than 20 years ago, the world was headed for a >4C warmer world by 2100. The amount of change that would occur under that much warming, that fast, was almost unimaginable and certainly unsurvivable for human civilization + a large percentage of the world's species. (thread)

[Ani Dasgupta @AniDasguptaWRI]

A flurry of climate commitments were made just one year ago in Glasgow to halt deforestation, strengthen climate targets, and phase-out fossil fuels.

So with #COP27 fast approaching, where do these commitments stand?

To make trade sustainable, we need more transparency, not less.
Alarming move in the USA to restrict access to the shipping data commonly used by journalists, NGOs, and researchers to hold companies to account for imports from dubious sources https://t.co/zutEzmAwgM

There is a tragedy - in the Greek sense, where the audience knows what's happening but the players don't - going on in our financial system as markets run from dirty, expensive energy to clean, cheap energy. Short thread:

[Naomi Basik Treanor @naomibasik]

Excellent reporting from @earthsight @mongabay particularly after last night's results in Brazil. There is so much at stake.

(Also good context for those who've heard me ramble about the importance of wood sourcing for our home projects!)

[Earthsight @earthsight]

Brazil’s elections are around the corner & the fate of the countries’ forests hangs in the balance. Our new report with @mongabay uncovers the corruption allegations, & illegal deforestation behind Brazil’s largest flooring exporter.

@MWolosin @WorldResources Thanks @MWolosin!

[Naomi Basik Treanor @naomibasik]

Professional news: this week I started a new job with @WorldResources helping launch the new Forests for People and Climate Initiative. Details to come. Onward!

[Naomi Basik Treanor @naomibasik]

@Loam_Ranger @WorldResources Thanks! Looking forward to connecting w you!

[RRI - Rights and Resources Initiative @RightsResources]

New RRI + @RainforestNORW research finds that only 17% of global climate + conservation funding intended for Indigenous + local communities is actually reaching them. How can we ensure the $1.7B pledge from #COP26 doesn't have the same fate? Read it now👇🏾

[Global Nature Watch @globalforests]

The links between agriculture and #deforestion are complicated, but leading experts (including those from GFW) lay out all the complexities in a new study in @ScienceMagazine.

What did they learn? Agriculture drives more tropical deforestation than previously cited.

Following Myanmar's 2021 coup, the int'l community has largely focused on China, ASEAN, and western gov't responses.

But c.1/4 of Myanmar's timber exports have gone to India since the coup - mostly kanyin + teak - and trade is increasing in '22. Check out our new blog for more.

Latest Myanmar trade update now available on our blog! How have India’s imports from Myanmar changed since the 2021 coup? https://t.co/81RijnQGVZ 1/3🧵

@kate_fried Fully reasonable and a good translator will ask.

🌏 How will the next round of climate talks in Egypt be affected by the latest blow to China–US relations?

🗣️ We asked several experts for their views:

More research is needed, and quickly, so that scientific verification can support regulators to combat illegal logging. https://t.co/PFz5xTPXFf
