WWF’s Forest Pathway Report 2023📋 We have our goals - now we need action. The pathways to meeting forest goals are known, and there is some positive momentum, but progress is slow and small-scale. We must change this. WWF suggests 4 pathways: 📈Accelerating the recognition of #IndigenousPeoples and local communities’ right to own and manage their lands, territories and resources – realizing, respecting and permanently securing those rights.  💰Mobilizing massive financial flows, both public and private, and repurposing harmful ones to support green and sustainable forest economies and trade.  🌳Reforming the rules of global trade that harm forests, getting deforesting commodities out of global supply chains, and removing barriers to forest-friendly goods.  🟢Shifting towards #Nature based and bio economies.

#FoodLossAndWaste is a painpoint for #FoodSystems worldwide, driving economic losses of $1.25 trillion and 8-10% of global GHG emissions per year. But the issue’s intersection with multiple challenges, including hunger, malnutrition, climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem conversion, also makes it a critical entry point for achieving global goals, such as: 🌾 The #ParisAgreement 🌾 The Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration 🌾 The 30x30 restoration target 🌾 SDG2, #ZeroHunger Find out how public and private players can cooperate to halve food loss and waste by 2030, and support the shift towards a sustainable, equitable and resilient food future: https://lnkd.in/e6D6Km8E #WasteLessFeedMore Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU)

I want to used this opportunity to end the danger behind climate change. To improve on the society in my nation through this particular SDGs. Let's UNITE to ensure a future where everyone has access to safe, nutritious and affordable food. Together, we must #Act4SDGs to achieve sustainable food systems. act4sdgs.org via @ SDGaction

Happy World Environment Day! Today, June 5th, we celebrate the beauty and importance of our planet. Climate change, deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss are just a few of the pressing issues we face. That is why this year's theme is 'Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience." These three concepts are interconnected and important for environmental sustainability. What are they? 1. Land Restoration refers to the process of rehabilitating degraded or damaged land to its former or near former state, improving its health and biodiversity. 2. Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas, caused by human activities and climate change, leading to loss of fertile land and desert expansion. 3. Drought Resilience refers to the ability of ecosystems, communities, and economies to withstand and recover from the impacts of drought, this is increasingly important due to climate change. In This World Environment Day we must adopt a comprehensive approach to tackle the challenges, by sustainable land management practices, ecosystem restoration, integrated water resource management, and policy and governance changes. Several efforts have proved that by working together, we can mitigate the effects of desertification and drought, and restore degraded land to support a healthier planet and future generations. Every small action counts, and collective action can lead to significant positive change.

One year on from #COP15 what progress has Gov made to meet its targets for nature?   New analysis has found that 👇 👈11 targets have seen no progress or have gone backwards ❗️7 targets have seen progress (in very small amounts)   Read more 👉https://lnkd.in/g7cZbMGh   🌼 This is disappointing news for #floodplainmeadows which are already amongst the rarest most vulnerable habitats in the UK but which could deliver so much for societal wellbeing and resilient floodplains. Read more about our work this summer at: https://lnkd.in/eieb_wsp 🚜 Floodplain meadows have potential to help the UK meet targets on nutrient mitigation, flooding, water quality, biodiversity & sustainable food production: https://lnkd.in/eRsfUcA6   🍃 Which is also why #grasslands & savannahs must be included in countries' #NDCs & #NBSAPs https://lnkd.in/ez_kdHWt

The New Year is almost upon us, and I'm still thinking about #newyearsresolutions. 🥂🎆 The climate is an increasingly hot topic (no pun intended), and many of us will be hoping to do our bit to help in the coming year. 🌍🌱 Good news: with one simple switch, you can contribute less to deforestation due to palm oil, marine conservation threats from excessive packaging and air pollution due to mass manufacturing and shipping. The smartest way to do more for the environment in 2024 is to reduce your #ultraprocessedfood intake - start early by signing up to our newsletter now for the latest news, tips and insights as we work towards bringing you the app to keep you on track! #sustainability #upf #reducemyupf

WWF has launched its 2024 manifesto, calling for urgent political action to halt species decline and restore nature by 2030. The UK ranks among the most nature-depleted nations globally, and three in five UK adults believe politicians are not doing enough to tackle climate change. WWF's manifesto outlines a blueprint for action, including a Living Planet Act for science-based action and accountability. It also calls for a '21st Century Framework for Finance and the Green Economy' to turbocharge net-zero and aligned company transition plans. Additionally, the manifesto advocates for resilient food and farming policies, ending deforestation and land degradation globally. There is no time to lose in addressing the triple challenge of climate, nature, and food security. Let's protect our planet for future generations! #WWF #Nature #RestoreNature #Sustainability

Dairy farmers are committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from farm-level dairy production by the year 2050. There are also targets related to soil and land, water, biodiversity, waste, and energy. Clean Air Day, and World Environment Week serve as dates to remind us all of the importance of clean air and a healthy living environment. Farmers are citizens of this planet too, and we all have a role to play in combatting climate change. Farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change first-hand. From droughts and floods to wildfires and storms, extreme weather is having a real impact at the farm-level. There are many ways farmers help the environment that are good for business, good for the animals and good for the planet. https://ow.ly/sKMT50S9ONa And we work alongside some world class partners that help us make impactful changes on the farm. The stories linked through the page below are some examples of innovative sustainability projects being undertaken by dairy farmers with help from organizations like Tree Canada, Ducks Unlimited Canada and Cleanfarms. https://ow.ly/V5AY50S9ONb #CdnDairy #NetZero2050 #sustainability

🚫Unsustainable food systems & ag. practices contribute to #climatechange but the transition to more ✅efficient, resilient & sustainable agrifood systems provides SOLUTIONS! Many climate change actions or solutions are to be found in the agrifood sector. Agrifood system solutions have concrete cross-cutting impacts helping to build resilience, adapt to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring food security for all.  See the impact: ow.ly/zgh250QaVmO #cop28 #climatechange #agrifood #foodsystems #biodiversity

*5th june 2024* "Happy World Environment Day! Today and every day, let's come together to appreciate and protect our planet. As we celebrate, let's also acknowledge the environmental issues that need our attention: Climate change Pollution Deforestation Wildlife conservation Waste management But, there's hope! We can all play a role in cleaning our environment. Here's how: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Use public transport or carpool Conserve water and energy Plant trees and support reforestation Avoid single-use plastics Support eco-friendly policies and practices Every small action counts, and collective efforts can lead to significant positive change. Let's do our part and inspire others to do the same. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.
