We are officially on the road to bending the emissions curve in Ireland. I'm grateful I got to be a small part of this historic decision as part of the Climate Change Advisory Council. Now the real work begins! #ClimateAction#ClimateCrisis#climatechange#cop26
New - carbon emissions to reduce by 4.8% annually for Carbon Budget 1 running 2021-2025; carbon emissions to reduce by 8.3% annually for CB-2 2026-2030. So substantially more reductions slated in CB2 over CB1 @rtenews

For #WorldSoilDay this year 'Keep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity' some of our soil scientists get out in their local area to examine potential drivers of soil biodiversity loss. We invite you to think about what is going on in your local area.
In an effort to help the #soilscience community respond to the need to rapidly convert in-person classes to an online format, @yaminapressler & I created a soils educational resource hub.
We hope you'll join us - contribute, use, adapt, share!

We're super excited in advance of #WorldSoilDay this Saturday 🎉🥳🍄🦠 This years theme is very close to our heart "keep soil alive, protect #soilbiodiversity". To mark it @teagasc will have an online event throughout the day. Join us celebrating #SoilHealth#SoilMicrobiome
Soils host a 1/4 of our planet's biodiversity. Yet, soil pollution puts this at risk.
It starts by reducing #soils’ biodiversity, which weakens the soil structure and its ability to resist erosion.

Tomorrow is #WorldSoilDay, it's an annual reminder of the rapid degradation of soils globally. The #TellusSurvey is mapping soil characteristics across the entire island of Ireland to aid sustainable use & ultimately health of our soils.
