#DYK Wetlands occupy 5-8% of the Earth’s land surface yet they hold between 20 to 30% of all estimated organic soil carbon!
This graphic from @VisualCap shows just how vital #wetlands are! ⤵️

Today @IFRSFoundation appointed me to lead the International Sustainability Standards Board. 1st step: 12 months to create a climate standard for the financial markets to start using for their capital allocations. Unique opportunity for structural change. bit.ly/3p1ZaW4

Amazonia is closer to a catastrophic ecological tipping point than any time in the last 100,000 years, and human activity is the cause. Rainforest could be replaced by grasslands within our lifetime. We need political will! #LeticiaPact @wef @IvanDuque phys.org/news/2020-09-amazon…

Banken gaan biodiversiteitsbehoud op de agenda zetten. In 2024 worden 1e resultaten verwacht. Het kan een kantelpunt zijn want banken zijn met overheden de financiers van biodiversiteitverlies. Druk blijft hard nodig zodat overheden / bedrijven sneller stappen zetten @trouw @undp

Groenlands ijs is in halve eeuw niet zo hard gesmolten als nu. Het verloor 532 miljard ton ijs: 1,5 mm zeespiegelstijging. Een ecosysteem-herstellende economie is echt geen hobby meer, maar een noodzakelijke stap in onze evolutie als menselijke soort.

This should be front page news. 50% of the arctic has melted in 50 years - a terrifying indicator of an escalating global crisis that can only be addressed when we tackle systemic problems together, not just the symptoms.

What if we built city #infrastructure from sustainable wood? That's what @Cities4Forests, @TheWCS, and @Pilot_Projects hope to do with #BrooklynBridge. Check out how they want to support a sustainable forest management in Guatemala: ow.ly/wDSz50AHlXU

But it does not come from governments or corporations.
It comes from the people.”
