"A picture is worth a thousand words." And we start 2025, unfortunately, with a historic #wildfire in #California. For us Brazilians, 2024 also brought historic and remarkable extreme weather events. May real, robust and structured #actions in adequate #climate and #nature #governance be worth more than pictures and words in 2025! #climaterisks #naturerisks #losangeles #esgrisks #climatechange #sustainability https://lnkd.in/dxngir6u

Mangroves are incredibly important to our environment. These unique trees thrive in coastal areas, providing crucial habitat for a wide variety of marine life. They help stabilize shorelines, reduce erosion, and protect coastal communities from storms and flooding. Mangroves also play a significant role in carbon sequestration, which helps mitigate climate change. Today, we continued our Rapid Mangrove Assessment. It’s been a muddy and challenging journey, but the data we’re collecting is vital for preserving these ecosystems. Protecting mangroves ensures the sustainability of marine life, safeguards coastal communities, and supports our fight against climate change. Let's all do our part in conserving these valuable ecosystems for future generations. #MangroveConservation #EcosystemProtection #Sustainability #Day2Assessment

Over the past two decades, wildfires in western North America have greatly increased in frequency, magnitude and severity. Scientists have documented three main causes— a century of suppression and inadequate forest management, climate change, and the spread of urbanization. Less well known are the environmental and social implications associated with the acceleration of these trends.   Our new resource summarizes a workshop that explored the history, current state, and anticipated future of wildfire science and policy across the western United States and Canada.   Learn more: https://ow.ly/XT5O50Upe5s   #Wildfire #ClimateChange #Environment #SocialScience #Canada #UnitedStates #NorthAmerica

🌳 Understanding California's Tree Cover Crisis The numbers are staggering: In just two years (2020-2021), California lost over 700,000 hectares of tree cover to wildfires – an area more than 5 times the size of Los Angeles. This unprecedented loss isn't just about numbers; it represents destroyed ecosystems, displaced wildlife and impacted communities. Our latest analysis reveals how climate change is accelerating this destruction and what it means for California's future: https://bit.ly/4gS3cJr #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires #ClimateAction #CaliforniaWildfires Global Forest Watch Cities4Forests

Translation from top - left to right, bottom - left to right: “Why is it hot?” “No trees.” “Why is it flooding?” “No trees.” The recent floods have taken a devastating toll on our environment, and one of the most affected groups is our beloved trees. From uprooted saplings to damaged canopies, the impact on our natural habitats is heartbreaking. Let's reflect on the importance of preserving our environment and the role trees play in mitigating climate change.

Conservation stops deforestation or at least reduces it to the barest minimum; fosters regeneration and habitat restoration amongst other things. Hence, conservation actions are climate actions which are crucial solutions for building society's resilience against climate hazards and even reducing the intensity of such hazards when they occur such as floods, drought, heatwaves, and wildfires. While climate activism is important for increasing awareness and pushing for legislative changes; perhaps, the most important work takes place in nature - WE ALL must take responsibility to protect, restore, and better manage our natural resources. #lagosflood #conservation #naturebasedsolutions

Today, on 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we remember those lost to the recent floods and act to prevent future tragedies. Floods are a stark reminder of climate change's devastating impact. But there's hope! Conserving forests and growing trees are some of the most effective ways to combat it. Let's join hands and #PlantAHope for a greener future. We can all play a part: participate in local tree planting, advocate for forest protection, and consider harvesting rainwater to combat future droughts. Together, we can build a more sustainable future, honoring the past with action for a greener tomorrow. #ClimateAction #NationalTreePlantingDay #Kenya

The climate crisis has led to unprecedented wildfires 🔥 The summer of 2023 saw the fourth most devastating wild fire season ever in the EU. 🚒 Fire suppression efforts have shown their limits in extreme wildfire events. That is why research aims at effective wildfire prevention instead. See how EU-funded SAFERS project, GEO-SAFE, FIRE-RES and TREEADS help prevent forest fires to limit the damage to society, economy and biodiversity.

Significant initiatives by the EU to address the devastating impact of wildfires! Also, the EU-funded IRISCC is proud to be at the forefront of tackling climate-related risks, including wildfires. Our DEMO6 project specifically focuses on understanding the multifaceted impact of these events on human health, ecosystems, and economies. By providing near-real-time data and advanced modeling, IRISCC contributes to effective wildfire prevention and response strategies. Our demonstrator, provided by ACTRIS-RI, IAGOS_RI, ICOS - Integrated Carbon Observation System), sets up a system for alerting about major forest fires and providing crucial data for analysis.

Eyes on FIRE-RES 👀 We've been featured in this news article by European Research Executive Agency (REA) among other EU-funded projects with a common mission: to focus on the effective prevention of wildfires because we are conscious of the limits of simple fire suppression.
