Nothing and no one is spared. Not even nature-based projects that are trying to correct our terrible human footprint. We will have to rethink what we thought we knew about climate change. Once you reach tipping points, itโs be too little too late. Emissions must be cut at source.

Our hearts go out to all Kenyans and our valued #RestorationChampions affected by the widespread flooding tragedy across the country.

The #FossilFuel industry wants you to think the world canโt function without them. Itโs a myth.
Leaders can choose a better path at #COP28. Read @WorldResources @AniDasguptaWRIโs op-ed in @TIME: time.com/6343446/fossil-fuelโฆ

By losing just one species, an entire ecosystem can collapse.
