Our world is made of an invisible web.

Loss of species weakens this web & can alter an entire ecosystem, & this affects us too.

Take pollinators for example. Without them, most of our food wouldn't exist.

#Wetlands are our most valuable ecosystem with critical services for #biodiversity, health, water security and climate adaptation.

But we are losing wetlands 3x faster than forests. We must accelerate actions for the conservation & #restoration of them.

Plastic pollution is suffocating our planet and fueling global warming.

Urgent action is needed to combat #ClimateChange.

It’s time we break free from this plastic nightmare.

This isn't a climate solution. We can't "you do you" ourselves out of the climate crisis.

We need federal standards that protect workers from the heat, and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Confidence is increasing in the potential for a major, prolonged heatwave across the Southwest, including California, towards mid-July.

This strong of a heat dome will easily bring the region its most severe heatwave of summer and potentially break records. Stay tuned.

Africa just saw its hottest night ever recorded.

Adrar, Algeria's nighttime low was a searing 39.6°C (103.3°F) 🔥

I participated recently at the @g20org Agriculture Ministerial Meeting, where we discussed the most pressing issues on humanity from #foodsecurity to #climatechange. The current global food systems are the biggest contributors to biodiversity loss, deforestation, drought, and freshwater pollution in the world, as well as being the second-largest generator of greenhouse gas emissions

The #G20 could cooperate more on transforming the agricultural food systems, taking on that responsibility, and leading the world by reaching a consensus on transforming these systems as quickly as possible.

And so, the #UAE will host the COP28 in November, where we will focus on stimulating the global response to many issues arising from climate change, from food systems to clean energy and biodiversity.

Excellent article

Switching the world to 100% #RenewableEnergy will cost $62 trillion, but the payback would take just 6 years, writes Professor Mark Jacobson @mzjacobson

In reality, land-use changes, of which biomass burning is a component, is about 10% of total emissions of CO2. See https://t.co/csBkVgVcOG for more info.
