Did you guess right? A capybara made that footprint! The largest rodent in the world, the capybara is also known to be a strong swimmer. These very social creatures live in large groups, or herds, of up to 100 (that's a lot of #furryass!) 🌱🌿🌲 https://t.co/2RaaZpaqwF

HAPPENING NOW 📣 Greenpeace activists protest at the scene of a climate crime: the german transport ministry. Transport minister @Wissing blocks effective climate protection which will lead to a breach of the 1,5 degree limit. #climateemergency

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

As billionaires plan to blast off into space, fuelled by a system that serves the elite and makes the rich even richer, the world gathers at #COP27.
We need alternatives for Africa, and the whole world.

6:20 AM - Multiple areas are flooded as both the Caroni River and South Oropouche Rivers and their tributaries overtop. Travelling through flooding is highly discouraged.

These are areas we received flood reports, and it is not an exhaustive list.

There she blows. Untreated sewage discharge straight into the Brent last weekend. Is this acceptable? @LDNWaterkeeper @thameswater @EnvAgencySE @Feargal_Sharkey

#COP27 in Egypt brings the world together to take #climateaction.

On behalf of @BMZ_Bund, @KfW_FZ_int in 2021 alone supported projects worldwide with 3.7 bn EUR. These will avoid 7.5 mln t of CO2 p.a.: https://t.co/oYzWJEzv39

Happening now at #WIOMSA2022 is our Special Session on Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in the WIO. Good start on context setting; What do we know about MRF? What are the implications of COVID19 on MRF in Africa? What are the potential impacts of fishing tourism?

Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters.

Delay is not an option. #COP27

[Kalain Hosein 🇹🇹 @KalainH]

The focus is on #COP27, but it’s a wet week in T&T.

October and November marks the secondary peak of the local wet season and is known for significant rainfall events.

Thankfully, forecast models aren’t showing a major rainfall event this week. Rainy nonetheless.

COP27 can be overwhelming with the sheer amount of information being thrown at you.

Here's what you need to know: https://t.co/G4XoQ2aySJ

[Nature Positive @NatureDeal]

Climate and nature are two sides of the same coin. We cannot solve one without the other.

At #COP27, alongside continuing commitments of deep cuts to emissions, countries should put nature on their agendas. Together we can tackle the #ClimateCrisis and reverse nature loss.

[Pooja Persad Sharma @pooja_persad]

Did you know that forests absorb greenhouse gases, regulate water flows and protect coastal communities from extreme events and sea level rise ? #forest #greenhousegas #globalwarming

[Global Environment Facility (GEF) @theGEF]

Global efforts to tackle the effects of climate change and #biodiversity loss will depend on preserving the Congo Basin 🌳🌡️
