Happy International Biodiversity Day!🌿🐢🦧🦕🐊🐃🦥🐻 This year's theme, 'Be part of the plan: Highlight the importance of biodiversity,' urges us to recognize the vital role biodiversity plays in sustaining life on Earth. By showcasing the richness of life forms, ecosystems, and genetic diversity, we raise awareness of the urgent need to protect and conserve our planet's biodiversity. Let's join hands to preserve and restore ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote sustainable development . 🌿🌎 #BiodiversityDay #Biodiversity2024 #WhatHasChanged #act4nature Climate & Sustainable Development Network (CSDevNet) Nigeria WWF Pan African Climate Justice Alliance

An interesting report to kick off the year. Highlighting some key issues with implementing Nature-based Solutions in ways that equitably include the knowledge, rights and insights of indigenous peoples, it focusses on Canadian First Peoples. However the principles cut across any of the world's indigenous people, who we now know are responsible stewards of 80% of global biodiversity. #iplcs #landrights #equitymatters

Conference Establishes Agenda for Rest of Ocean Decade  Source: IISD  #SDG14, #SDG17 The 2024 Ocean Decade Conference in #Barcelona marked three years since the launch of the UN #Ocean #Decade, with delegates adopting the #Barcelona Statement and contributing to ten draft white papers. Earth Negotiations Bulletin #ENB) highlighted the ocean's crucial role in climate regulation, biodiversity, and sustaining livelihoods, despite facing escalating threats like pollution and overfishing. The conference emphasized the UN Decade for Ocean Science for #Sustainable #Development (2021-2030) as a global effort to address these challenges. Participants praised the event as a vital step towards the third UN #Ocean #Conference in #2025. Hosted by Spain and co-organized by #UNESCO, the conference aimed to foster collaborative action for ocean conservation.

Our reliance on nature is absolute. The codependence of biodiversity and climate means action on each needs to be strategically coordinated. Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) are a promising set of solutions which can reduce global carbon emissions and, in some instances, also reduce biodiversity loss. Human society can no longer afford to choose between its progress and environmental sustainability. Today, the imperative is clear: The world must invest in and work with nature to address both the climate and biodiversity crises, for the sake of current and future generations. Find out more in the report by The Nature Conservancy and the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute, which outlines the benefits of NCS, the barriers to scaling them, and key actions to overcome these barriers: http://from.ubs/6042cDuZG #shareUBS #Sustainability #Biodiversity #NCS #TNC #TheInstitute

The narrative, "Acacia’s Journey in the Environment," demonstrates how climate change affects ecosystems using Acacia’s tale as a representative of plants living in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). The writer brings out how the heat that is rising and rainfall patterns being altered are affecting the delicate balance of Acacia’s ecosystem consequently endangering her existence among other members of the plant community. Adversity can be made easier by being resilient, as seen in this story. It goes ahead to acknowledge that some species within its habitat may find it difficult to adjust their ways of life fast enough as they struggle with those changes in their environmental conditions Laikipia County, Kenya is home to World Vision Kenya’s IMARA program (Integrated Management of Natural Resources in ASALs Areas), which aims at addressing these challenges through promoting sustainable management of natural resources in ASALs areas. Such initiatives include climate change adaptation programs, biodiversity conservation initiatives and community resilience building.

VTI and GGES Mehmonwali engaged in a tree plantation activity that aimed to promote environmental awareness and sustainability. The plantation activity plays a significant role in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity.

Great interaction with conservationists around #Wambabya Forest Reserve in Hoima District. It’s inspiring to see how Indigenous communities are playing a crucial role in preserving our environment. The fusion of scientific and Indigenous knowledge is truly a game changer in ensuring healthy and sustainable ecosystems. By embracing these complementary approaches, we can make significant strides in #conservation and climate adaptation. #Conservation #IndigenousKnowledge #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EcosystemRestoration

Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) offer near-term, scalable and cost-effective options to reduce emissions while capturing carbon in the biosphere. NCS encompass a range of practices aimed at protecting, managing, and restoring forest, grasslands, wetlands, and agricultural lands. However, not all land management practices qualify as effective climate solutions. To be considered as such, they must deliver measurable climate mitigation that exceeds baseline conditions and persists over time and be equitable and developed in partnership with local communities while not compromising biodiversity. When executed effectively, NCS can also contribute to cleaner air and water, improved livelihoods, and more resilient communities. Learn more about how we can collaborate to scale these promising solutions in #TheInsititute Natural Allies report with The Nature Conservancy >> https://lnkd.in/dN9DyuPU. #shareUBS #NCS #climatemitigation

Forests are critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and are a vital part of our global ecosystem. They not only contribute to greener economic growth, but also provide timber, food, fuel and medicine for more than a third of the world’s population. On this #InternationalForestryDay which falls on the 21st March, we are saying responsible land use practices are crucial in mitigating climate change, preserving biodiversity and ensuring the resilience of our forests. #ForestDay

May 2024 is the official month of SDG 15. Life on Land – aims to conserve all forms of life on land, by protecting and restoring ecosystems & biodiversity, sustainably managing forests, combatting desertification and reversing land degradation. However, the world is facing a triple crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.  Between 2015 and 2019, at least 100 million hectares of healthy and productive land were degraded every year, impacting the lives of 1.3 billion people.
