It's #MangroveDay! Mangroves are key components of coastal ecosystems, helping to: 🦜Preserve biodiversity 🌪️Protect coastlines from storms, floods and erosion 💧Improve food and water security 💸Support coastal economies Learn more on mangroves and blue ecosystems here👉 https://bit.ly/3rIa6My #Mangroves #Ecosystem #CoastalEcosystems #Biodiversity #ClimateResilience #BlueEconomy #EcosystemProtection #SustainableCoasts #OceanConservation #NatureBasedSolutions #Conservation #Environment #Climate #Nature #BlueCarbon

Studies show that #reforestation has a significant impact on local climate — lowering temperatures, encouraging rainfall and making communities more resilient. 🌳🌲🌳 For cities struggling with #extremeheat, reforestation can be a powerful #naturebasedsolution. Get the details: https://bit.ly/3Vf55pT

Flooding in April and May wreaked havoc in Kenya and throughout East Africa.   On June 18th, the Kenya Red Cross reported that there were 294 fatalities, 162 missing persons, 101,132 affected households, and 65,0377 acres of decimated farmland.   How can Kenya increase resilience through nature-based solutions? A recent article from World Resources Institute highlights 4 measures the country needs to take ➡ https://bit.ly/4cuLgSO #ClimateResilience #NatureBasedSolutions WRI Africa

Excited to be participating today at FAO “Wood for Globe” in Rome, discussing international collaboration on forests and urban development. I am representing our systemic collaboration framework and the Cities4Forests mandate to connect the interests of cities and forests worldwide.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of WRI Africa's new website! It is a comprehensive resource that highlights the work of World Resources Institute in Africa, spanning across six programs for people, nature, and climate.

As one of the largest rivers in Johannesburg, the Jukskei River is vital to city residents. The integration of nature-based solutions is a critical opportunity to improve #ClimateResilience and #WaterSecurity.

I’m looking forward to presenting at the IUFRO World Congress on "Sustainable Wood for Thriving Cities and Forests," (June 27th), alongside a Poster Presentation on "The Future of Forest Work and Communities" by teammate Valeria Romano Lara (June 25)...Youth engaging in the future of tropical forest conservation - what could be more important! We are keen to connect with likeminded organizations supporting frontline community-based forest conservation, and to work together to showcase their positive impact. From the voices of many communities we know that sourcing their wood (especially for next-gen urban construction) can support community-led conservation, and yield substantial climate and biodiversity benefits. And when we engage young people in this forest innovation it brings exponential economic, cultural, and ecological advantages! Please meet up with us at IUFRO - International Union of Forest Research Organizations Stockholm, and with me at the World Green Building Council Congress in London and the Timber Development UK Design Conference. Looking forward to connecting and collaborating! #IUFRO2024 #ConservationTimber, Cities4Forests, Veronika Juch, Peter Graham, Sally Henderson, Paul King, Cristina Gamboa, Robin Chazdon, Jamie Micah Lawrence, Claude A.
