🌍 The climate crisis is driving millions into hunger, and WFP is on the frontlines supporting vulnerable communities. As we face increased climate shocks, the humanitarian system is stretched thin. In 2023, WFP supported nearly 18 million people with climate solutions and helped them manage risks.   To combat hunger, we must urgently accelerate climate protection in the world's most vulnerable areas. Let’s take action together!

🌿 Ever heard of mangroves? Let's take a trip with WFP's Monica Leon to the magnificent mangrove ecosystem in #Colombia, where WFP is helping restore hundreds of hectares to protect the area’s biodiversity and the livelihoods of the communities that depend on it. Mangroves are vital ecosystems that thrive in salty environments, playing a crucial role in combating climate change by storing more carbon than forests. They protect coastlines and communities from erosion, storms, and other climate impacts. WFP's work isn't just about immediate support; it's about building resilience and safeguarding these invaluable ecosystems that sustain us. 🌍✨

Last week in #Lebanon WFP Deputy Chief Carl Skau witnessed WFP in Lebanon's swift emergency response to the current crisis.   WFP is ready to expand support and reach up to 1 million people.   We urge the global community to mobilize resources for this critical humanitarian response.

In #Madagascar, WFP partners with the The World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) to improve food security and boost livelihoods through food systems resilience projects. A robust #IDA21 will build on this progress. #WBGmeetings
