Teaching young people about the importance of peatlands is critical for the future preservation of our planet. Raising awareness of this often-overlooked topic will enable the next generation to continue to advocate for action 🌿 At Caledonian Climate, we have been fortunate enough to visit local schools to talk to students about the importance of #naturebasedsolutions for our planet's health and climate. By educating young people on the magic of peatlands we not only help to foster a new appreciation for these unique environs but also motivate a future workforce to continue the fight against climate change. Getting young people involved in climate action is something we are passionate about. Take a look at our core values here: https://buff.ly/3HCgVEb #Climatecrisis #PeatlandRestoration #ScottishPeatland #ClimateAction #CarbonEmissions #GenerationRestoration

Locally led climate action has emerged as a critical approach to address the challenges posed by climate change at the grassroots level. As the impacts of climate change intensify, communities around the world face a wide range of vulnerabilities such as extreme weather events, water scarcity, rising sea levels, and disruptions to lives and livelihoods. In this context, locally led climate action emphasizes the importance of empowering local communities to take ownership of their adaptation strategies.

We can’t solve the climate crisis without community. Community organisations are an important part of our local, national and global response to the climate and ecological crises. Bristol’s new #CommunityClimateAction plans are now available to read. The plans put communities at the heart of fast and fair climate action in Bristol. They were created by, and for, local communities as part of our Community Climate Action Project. Read the plans and find out how you can get involved in bringing them to life. https://bit.ly/CCAplans2 #CommunityClimateAction #ClimateFundUK #BristolClimateAction

How do we equip Minnesota forests to be resilient amid warmer temperatures and help tackle climate change?     It all starts with a seed. Millions of seeds.    At The Nature Conservancy in Minnesota, we’re partnering with universities, nonprofits, Native Nations, governments and farmers to ensure we have the supply we need to contribute to ambitious climate-smart reforestation of Minnesota.

Climate change affects us all, but it disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. At FLLoCA, we are committed to ensuring that climate action is inclusive and equitable. #climateaction #locallyledclimateaction #FLLoCA

Today we planted trees at The Chifwema Arboretum with the Year 5 students of the International School of Lusaka (ISL).  The world is in a state of climate emergency, we need to start raising climate conscious kids.#ClimateAction #Agenda2030 #SDG13

What are your plans this Saturday, 23 March? Can you spare an hour to take action on climate change? 🌅 Earth Hour is a worldwide movement by the WWF, suggesting we turn off our lights for an hour at 8:30 PM local time as a symbol of solidarity and united action. But it’s much more than just switching off the lights. We’re encouraged to do more and spend the hour focussing on our planet and what further actions we can take as individuals to protect it. 💡 Why not spend your hour exploring the opportunities on our website to #VolunteerForClimate. We’ve got hundreds of climate organisations that need volunteers with skills like yours: https://buff.ly/3Q5FPko 🌏 Let’s support Earth Hour and make its impact last far beyond the day. #EarthHour #CollectiveAction #VolunteerForClimate #SaveOurPlanet

Emphasizing multi-sectoral partnerships and engagement, investing in community capacity-building, and prioritizing accountability and transparency mechanisms are essential aspects of climate policy formulation and implementation in developing countries. #climatechange #climateaction #climate Vanessa Nakate Nyombi Morris

🌍✨ This International Day of the Families, let's focus on 'Families and Climate Change.' Climate impacts like recent floods in East Africa and South America highlight the urgency for ambitious climate action. Empowering families through education, sustainable habits, and advocacy is crucial for climate resilience. Together, we can drive a transition to a circular economy and advance climate justice.

This year's unusually wet spring and summer have significantly reduced lavender production, a direct impact of climate change. The recent flooding in southern England is another clear example. It's easy to feel disconnected from these issues until they affect our everyday lives. The first step is to acknowledge that climate change is real and that we need to take action. 🌱 💜 #ClimateChange #LavenderFields #England #UK Climate Outreach Greenpeace UK WWF #ClimatePolicy
