About 80% of wild plants rely on #insects for #pollination

“If insects continue to decline, expect some pretty dire consequences for ecosystems generally — & for people.”

Some mind-blowing visuals to help make sense of a lot of numbers 👇

Tallinn invites other 🇪🇪 local municipalities to join the Green Club, a new #network started with the Association of 🇪🇪 Cities and Municipalities, to discuss strategic #environmental and #climate themes to support and promote the #greentransition in local governments

Kalasatamaan tulee teoskokonaisuus, jonka pohjana toimii tekemämme innovaatiotyö! A Stream among Streams on taiteen kokonaisuus, joka lähestyy teknologisia tai virtuaalisia sovelluksia osana kaupunkisuunnittelua. @virtualverdure @fiksukaupunki @HAMHelsinki https://t.co/Jc0oQ4MVjM

Ilman luontoa emme pärjää. Luonto turvaa taloutemme, terveytemme ja hyvinvointimme, muistuttavat talouden ja yhteiskunnan vaikuttajat uudessa kirjoituskokoelmassa.

#Luontokato on mahdollista pysäyttää. Se on myös vastuullista taloudenhoitoa. Lue lisää!👇

Kaupungin tarvitsevat kasvillisuutta sekä viihtyisyyden että elinkelpoisuuden vuoksi. @virtualverdure kehitti digitaalisen ja osallistavan kaupunkisuunnittelun työkaluja vihreän ingrastruktuurin tueksi. Lopputuloksena syntyi mm. 3D-kasvikirjasto. https://t.co/0vqei3doHy

What are #greenroofs and their benefits❔

🌿 Green or vegetation roofs are flat or sloping with vegetation on top such as moss, sedum, grass and herbs. The roofs are realized to support #climateadaptation such as water buffering and reducing urban heat island effect.

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

Trees have such a positive impact on both our mental and physical health.

Here are some the ways that they support our wellbeing ⬇️

#DYK that nature-based solutions can deliver big economic benefits? 🌳

By working with nature, not against it, infrastructure projects could save billions per year—and result in greater social benefits and avoided losses 🌿

I loved seeing #adaptation measures like the Enghaveparken - retention of stormwater underground and in lower sports field areas. As the n'hood was also regenerated in the process, it would be interesting to learn more about whether anti-#gentrification measures were taken.

#DYK who are pollinators? 🐝

#Pollinators are an important part of the ecosystem, they move pollen within them or carry it from one flower to another. 🌱🌸
