Forests and lands are 30% of the climate solution. Yet they only comprise 3% of global climate finance commitments. It’s time to close the funding gap. #GCAS2018#StepUp2018
The oceans keep us alive and protect us from the worst effects of climate change. I wish all negotiators gathering at the United Nations success as they work on a treaty to protect and sustainably use the high seas that cover 2/3 of our planet.

According to a UN study, the commitments made so far by Parties to the Paris Agreement represent just one-third of what is needed. The mountain in front of us is very high.
But it is not insurmountable.

Today, the UN Secretary General Guterres called for #ClimateAction: “We have the tools to act. We need the leadership. Warnings are necessary. But fear will not get the job done. Enormous benefits await humankind if we act on #climatechange “
