The Asia Pacific region is more than just a place hit by climate challenges; it’s also source of climate solutions. With its diverse landscapes, including coastal mangroves and pristine coral reefs, it serves as a natural buffer against climate-related disasters.

Plastics are fueling the climate crisis.
By 2040, up to 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions will stem from plastics.
To meet the goal of 1.5° global temperature rise & to #BeatPlasticPollution, we need a plastics treaty that reduces plastic production.
Mangrove restoration is key to boost #marine habitats, maximize #coastal defenses & unlock #BlueCarbon opportunities.

Addressing the crisis of plastic pollution in our most productive and sensitive ecosystems is essential, not just for the ecosystems themselves and the natural life that they support, but for our own health and socio-economic wellbeing.

We want to hear your wetlands stories! Share stories from your cities, villages, communities and tell us how you depend on these vital ecosystems. 🏞️
#WetlandsWednesday
It was such an honour to meet a group of young people who are part of @YEWetlands, the @RamsarConv Youth Working Group & the chair #DylanJones together with our Junior Professionals at our secretariat. Thanks 🙏🏾 to Australia 🇦🇺 & Costa Rica 🇨🇷 for their leadership.
Exciting news! During the 62nd #RamsarConvention Standing Committee meeting in #Geneva on September 6, China's proposal for an international mangrove center in Futian, #Shenzhen, was approved. #GreenFutian
Sharing my reflections following last months visit to South Korea & China & how restoration efforts there are supportive wetland species thrive. @RamsarConv@unep@fao#GenerationRestoration https://t.co/kUpalFeF8t
#DYK 64% of wetlands have been degraded since the 1900’s and degradation continues at an alarming rate?

#SDGSummit | More than a billion people depend on wetlands for their livelihoods. These vital ecosystems provide resources like 🐟, 🌿, offering sustenance and income. By nurturing wetlands, we empower communities & progress towards ending poverty.
#GlobalGoals#WetlandsMatter
The new report on biodiversity by @UNESCO & @IUCN highlights that almost 100 World Heritage wetlands overlap wholly or partially with over 150 #RamsarSites, which are aimed at enhancing the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.

As the #SDGSummit kicks off today in New York.
#DYK wetlands provide essential resources for agriculture, like water and natural pest control?
By nurturing these ecosystems, we're strengthening food production and eradicating hunger.🌾
#GlobalGoals#SDG2#WetlandsForFood
Wetlands aren't just scenic landscapes; they're important for good health. They filter water and improve air quality.
Half of global tourists seek relaxation in wetlands which positively impacts mental health and well-being. 🌊
#SDGSummit#SDG3#WetlandsForHealth
With the conclusion of the #SDGSummit let us remember that wetlands are the unsung heroes of Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
They prevent flooding, purify water, and enhance urban biodiversity.🏙️🌱
