We can start to see where Earth systems value adds operational value, when we recognize that these knowledge connections are a structural competitive advantage. How fast are you running in the race to lead the #ClimateSmart#CleanEconomy? >>> https://t.co/EDhhcRSeX4
Resilience is a baseline imperative; everyone deserves to live free from harm. Data systems can align whole economies with climate-secure prosperity. SMEs make the right to resilience investable. #COP28 should operationalize the #RightToResilience. https://t.co/e3kVGPulzn
Ice loss is a major tipping point in the breakdown of climate stability. Polar ice caps stabilize climate bands characteristic of specific latitudes, to which all ecosystems and watersheds are adapted. Loss of polar ice also reduces heat-reflection, accelerating global heating.
As the @WorldBank evolves its mission, CCI submits a briefing paper urging the Bank to be more inclusive and people centered in dealing with #ClimateChange.
“It must be the guiding principle behind everything the Bank does,” says CCI's Joe Robertson.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.
Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.
Hang onto your hats.

We know the reason it's hot as hell right now. The question is whether we're finally ready to get serious about #ClimateChange, and that means moving away from #FossilFuels.

#NatureLoss makes it even harder to counter #GlobalHeating. Carbon is sequestered by living organisms. Life is what draws down carbon. Human activity has caused the loss of 83% of wild mammals and half of plants. https://t.co/jYoy3UqZt0
Companies that ignore #ClimateRisk will face diminishing credit availability, diminishing incentives, diminishing market share, and will eventually go bankrupt. There is no safe way to profit from ignoring #ClimateScience. https://t.co/FDkNCJlmEm
Nature & climate are two sides of the same coin. We can't solve one without the other.
This is why today is a historic day.
After decades of ecosystem destruction and plummeting biodiversity, the agreement reached at #COP15 provides the framework to halt & reverse these trends.
As a #COPofAction recognizing the urgent needs of vulnerable countries & communities, the #COP27 must build on #GlasgowPact commitment to phase out fossil fuels, identify new cooperative financing strategies & foster integrated & holistic approaches on #foodsystems & resilience.
Tuvalu set the gold standard for high ambition today, saying the #GlasgowPact is a floor for ambition & calling for the #COP27 to commit to “#EquitablePhaseOut of coal, oil & gas in line with 1.5ºC" recognizing national circumstances & need for #JustTransition.
Without #ClimateResilient#FoodSystems that foster health of both people & nature, we will see ongoing degradation of humanity’s ability to achieve the #SDGs, meet #ParisAgreement goals & #BuildResilience against cascading shocks & compounding crises.
Ambition 🧵… A critical breakthrough at the #COP27 has been the call from diverse parties for connecting the UNFCCC process to other conventions, favoring integrated & holistic approaches to climate resilient development & the participation of stakeholders in design & action.
Ambition in the #COP27 Cover Decision matters. It will affect the probability that the most vulnerable countries & communities will be able to avoid the worst ravages of unchecked #ClimateEmergency. Backsliding will lead to direct & indirect harm to people across the world.
