USDA Forest Service’s Post

The story Water Hub tells about #ClimateChange is one of progress and hope. There are billions of federal dollars available for communities to invest in clean water and climate preparedness. This is #JustInfrastructure– rain gardens and wetland restoration, urban reforestation, and lead pipe removal that will benefit us now and for generations to come. 🌐See the vision of how they’re reshaping our water future at justinfrastructure.org. #IRA #BIL #InflationReductionAct #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw #WaterInfrastructure #GreenInfrastructure #NatureBasedSolutions #WaterPolicy

To address the impacts of weather whiplash, Community Water Center and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) emphasize the urgency of climate-resilient infrastructure– especially for aging lead pipelines and well systems. Co-creation with impacted communities is essential for long-term, effective, and sustainable solutions. #JustInfrastructure ➡️ See the vision for climate-resilient communities at justinfrastructure.org #ClimateChange #ClimateSolutions #WaterInfrastructure

TODAY! Join us for an insightful virtual discussion on the critical issue of land use management in the American West, focusing on improving public lands and mitigating the increasingly disastrous wildfires that threaten these landscapes.https://hubs.la/Q02M4L450

Did you know that up to 40 per cent of the world’s land is damaged and degraded, that approximately 3.2 billion people worldwide are negatively impacted by desertification, and that over three-quarters of the world’s population is expected to be affected by droughts by 2050? These stark statistics, from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) , remind us that today, on World Environment Day 2024, there is no time to lose to restore our planet and protect its people. This year’s focus is on restoring land, halting desertification and building drought resilience. We can all play our part.

This is critical. Our culture identity comes from our community and historic structure are the visible reminder of that. We won’t be able to save them all… time takes its toll… but let’s catalogue what and where they are and then assess the best steps to take in order to preserve what we can. #climate #emergencymanagement #communityimpact #disasterrecovery

Today, 5 June, as we celebrate The World Environment Day, it is important that we once again reflect on the need to protect our planet. The theme for this year's celebration focuses on the critical issues of land restoration, combating desertification, and building resilience against drought. This emphasizes the pressing environmental challenges we face and the necessity of taking decisive action to address them. #Worldenvironmentalday #desertification

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we find it essential to reflect on sustainability’s role in our lives. Did you know up to 40% of the planet’s land is degraded, directly affecting half of the world’s population? This year’s theme focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. Degraded lands lead to food and water insecurity, hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. Stakeholders—including governments, businesses, and local communities—must find a way forward through collaborative efforts. We believe #DeliberateDialogue is the key to co-creating innovative solutions cutting across various sectors and disciplines that have the potential to protect our planet and improve the health and well-being of communities worldwide. Let’s take action for a healthier planet and a more resilient world. #Environment #DeliberateDialogue #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/dCq83q5t

💚 World Environment Day 2024. Our Land. Our Future Ecosystems worldwide are under threat, with up to 40% of the planet’s land degraded, directly impacting half of the global population. Droughts have increased by 29% since 2000 and, without urgent action, over three quarters of the world’s population may be affected by 2050. This year’s World Environment Day emphasizes #landrestoration, halting desertification and building drought resilience. Land Restoration is the key pillar of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a rallying call to protect and revive our natural spaces worldwide. We are #GenerationRestoration and, together, we can make peace with the land.  Join us and our Mission’s project “Germ of Life”, which aims to improve drought monitoring, prevention and adaptability in Euro-Mediterranean ecosystems. Support our efforts to restore our ecosystems towards a sustainable future.
