🌐 With renewable energy capacity needing to triple by 2030 to keep global temperature increases below 1.5°C, the development of large infrastructure, such as wind farms, solar power plants and grid networks, both on land and in the ocean, will be crucial. 🌿 Increasingly, these will intersect with local people, wildlife, and natural ecological systems. Responsibly managing the impact of this significant infrastructure growth will be central to ensuring a rapid, sustainable, and equitable energy transition for all. 🤝 We are delighted to join the Responsible Renewables Infrastructure Coalition, convened by the World Economic Forum to promote equitable outcomes and protect biodiversity through actions such as community engagement, benefit sharing, job creation, and conservation of key species and ecosystems while accelerating the deployment of renewable energy infrastructure worldwide. #3xrenewables #smartsiting

“Partnerships between the federal government and state, local and tribal governments are essential because that’s how we can test new climate solutions that can then be scaled or adopted by others." TNC Global Board Chair Bill Frist, M.D.’s recent Forbes column discussed how federal policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act are helping states tackle climate change, reduce emissions and fund other state-based solutions.

Nine sihek (Guam kingfisher) chicks are living in the wild for the first time since the 1980s at TNC's Palmyra Atoll Preserve and Research Station. Palmyra is one of the healthiest land and ocean ecosystems on the planet, thanks to decades of protection and restoration by TNC and our partners. This predator-free atoll, with its abundant forest canopy and prey, offers these once extinct-in-the-wild birds a perfect home. Our nearly 25-year investment in developing a living laboratory at Palmyra is benefiting both species like the sihek and biodiversity as a whole. This project would not be possible without the hard work of the many partners of the Sihek Recovery Project including the Guam Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, many from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums especially Sedgwick County Zoo, Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, The Nature Conservancy in Hawai'i and Palmyra, The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy in California, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Zoological Society of London (ZSL).

These birds are almost extinct. A radical idea could save them.

Esta semana se desarrolla la Semana del Clima de Nueva York #NYCW, donde The Nature Conservancy ha organizado una interesante agenda de eventos con temas de interés global. Nuestra directora ejecutiva para América Latina, Paula Caballero, fue parte del panel "Construyendo juntos una economía equitativa para los guardianes de la naturaleza de comunidades locales y pueblos indígenas", donde autoridades y organizaciones brasileñas destacaron el importante rol de comunidades locales y pueblos indígenas en la preservación de los bosques amazónicos y sus servicios ecosistémicos, que contrasta con un mínimo financiamiento. Profundizando en las posibles alternativas, El Pais publica "Cómo lograr una economía equitativa para los guardianes de la naturaleza", donde Paula Caballero y Rony Brodsky, directora de finanzas para pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales de TNC, abordan opciones tales como las inversiones basadas en derechos de tenencia, y avances en regulación como la ley de importación libre de deforestación de la European Union, además de citar algunos ejemplos exitosos. Los invitamos a revisar la columna en este link https://lnkd.in/da-GEQmg

As we continue our advocacy from #ClimateWeekNYC to #COP29, TNC is pushing for bold, tangible action to address climate change. Our COP29 Scorecard is built around three core priorities: 1️⃣ Phase Out Fossil Fuels: We must accelerate the equitable phase-out of fossil fuels to achieve net zero by 2050 or sooner and transition to renewable energy. 2️⃣ Build Climate-Resilient Societies: We must empower groups who steward nature to secure their homes, livelihoods and futures. 3️⃣ Invest in Nature-Positive Financial Flows: We must inspire commitments and investments in nature- positive projects, policies and practices. And as you can read below, we are coming with ten specific policy requests we want to see implemented at the global level. COP29 is our chance to turn promises into progress. Let’s push for the action we need. 💚 #EveryActionMatters

As world leaders gather in New York this week, the energy transition is high on the agenda. We’ve joined forces with Global Renewables Alliance and 100 other organisations who are urging countries to commit to ambitious, specific, and actionable targets to accelerate progress. We need to go smart to go fast—deploying renewable energy in ways that support goals for climate, conservation, and communities.

They won't remember: - your salary - how "busy" you were - how many hours you worked What they will remember: - how you overcame barriers to the challenges our planet faces by taking small actions every day towards a sustainable future, creating a ripple effect of hope that reached more people than you could've realized - how often you go birding - that you never forget bug spray
