As climate change continues to accelerate at an alarming rate, we must all take immediate action to prevent its most harmful effects. In the past year, we supported innovative solutions in climate mitigation and adaptation across Southeast Asia, a region highly susceptible to the effects of climate change. Our aim? To catalyse systems-level change for climate action across the following focus areas: 🌳🌊  Nature-based Solutions, covering terrestrial, coastal, and marine ecosystems 🌾 Sustainable Agriculture and Livelihoods Find out more about our work in Climate Change Action in our Annual Report 2023/2024 here: https://lnkd.in/grQk7G3w Earthcare Foundation Climateworks Centre UBS Optimus Foundation #AnnualReport #TransformingLives #EmpoweringCommunities #CatalysingChange #ClimateChange

🌾In support of #WorldWetlandsDay, WRc’s Samuel Jarvis discusses the environmental importance of peatlands, a type of wetland, and why it is crucial to maintain them. 🌍Peatlands perform vital functions for us and nature, including storing carbon that may otherwise contribute to climate change. So it’s no wonder that concerted efforts are being made globally, and within the UK, to protect and restore these vital ecosystems.

Happy World Wetlands Day! Have a look at the article I wrote on the importance of peatlands:

Financing ecosystem restoration is key—and can drive climate action, protect nature, and create jobs. A new PROBLUE-supported @WorldBank report shed light on the role private finance can play - including in coastal ecosystem restoration🌱 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eRJVXKJD #ForestDay

Academic Expert Alert ⚠️ Last week Dr Matthew Jones' (NERC Independent Research Fellow at UEA) co-led report on the state of wildfires was released. 🌍 Head to our website to read the full story: https://bit.ly/3Mc3Wvh The report found that the carbon emissions from global wildfires were 16% above average, with wildfires in certain regions being three times more likely due to climate change. Dr Matthew Jones said: "Last year, we saw wildfires killing people, destroying properties and infrastructure, causing mass evacuations, threatening livelihoods, and damaging vital ecosystems. Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense as the climate warms, and both society and the environment are suffering from the consequences." #ThisIsUEA #ClimateResearch #ClimateChange #AcademicExpert #Wildfires #UniversityResearch

This is what the climate crisis is costing economies around the world The environmental impact of the climate crisis is clear, but what about its economic impact on areas like infrastructure, agriculture and tourism? #Climate #Economy https://lnkd.in/e59VJish

Intense rainfall and prolonged droughts are increasingly becoming Brazil's new reality. There are many factors that contributed to the humanitarian and environmental crisis in Rio Grande do Sul, including inadequate governance and the climate impact that can be attributed to El Nino. However, human-induced climate change is also a keys factor and the tragic flooding in Brazil provides another clear wake-up call for the world.
