I spoke with @JoeyGardiner about how nature can help communities thrive: check out the case for greener cities in the latest issue of @wsp#NatureBasedSolutions https://t.co/V98Jqyxooc
Some call it the lungs, others the heart of the planet. 💙
It’s undeniable: the ocean is vital for life on Earth.
Here's how we protect it: https://t.co/DInkNygr3e
The @IPCC_CH's latest ocean report has grim news for coastal and island communities: extreme sea-level events that once occurred every 100 years could happen annually by 2050.
But #NatureBasedSolutions can still help, if we act now. #SROCC https://t.co/XMBeCNIlWp
Exactly - urban green spaces can improve health outcomes and social cohesion, but science-based implementation is essential. @wef https://t.co/GJZ9caHmWW
Natural climate solutions are critical to addressing climate change, but they are underdeployed & underfunded. Orgs like @nature_org and leaders like @GeorgeMonbiot & @GretaThunberg are showing the world it’s not too late—nature can make all the difference.https://t.co/phZOuGWKkX
The findings in the upcoming #IPCC ocean and ice report are expected to be dire. But the last thing we need is panic that leads to paralysis.
Let's turn our concerns into ambitious action: https://t.co/PBowusfN5R #SROCC
We often say that “children are the future.” The #climatestrike makes it clear: young people are our present, our inspiration, and the reason we have to act now on climate change.
The #IPCC ocean and ice report releases on September 25. We're tackling:
-What to expect
-Why it matters
-What we can do about it

The message from @UN's recent reports couldn't be clearer: business as usual is a threat to climate, biodiversity, land and ocean.
And every degree of global warming counts: https://t.co/Es2TU6VLtc
And it goes way beyond perceptions of health! Lots of studies now showing quantifiable links between nature and health outcomes, although the quality and strength of evidence varies among the particular nature/health pathways.
Excited to see the appropriation by Congress for money to increase community resilience, rather than just reconstruction. Let's just hope the program is implemented well https://t.co/bK7foEwuoV
Smaller tech startups play an important role in solving local urban challenges—big companies can promote sustainability (and even turn a profit) by supporting their efforts https://t.co/CuonniWAvo @nature_org@techstars
An important new paper on income and heat wave risk in dozens of US cities. I feel scooped somewhat, as I am working with USFS to map trees and ecosystem service provision for hundreds of US cities, but we aren't quite done yet https://t.co/PL8mJvo1iM
The quality andquantity of water flowing into thousands of cities around the world is directly dependent on the landscapes through which it flows https://t.co/6qNEiDm20q @nature_org
