World Environment Day is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. This year’s World Environment Day campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience under the slogan “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration.” Environmental decline can include desertification and deforestation along with climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. These changes can lead to eco-despair and climate anxiety, which can cause people to feel grief, fear, and helplessness.

✊We are #Generation Restoration: Empowering Change on World Environment Day 🏜️🌍 “We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land.” The World Environment Day marks the biggest global campaign for the environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the theme this year is “land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.” As the foundation that makes all life on Earth possible, our land is currently threatened by drought, pollution, and climate threats 🌡️ 🏭 As UN Secretary-General António Guterres reminds us, “Inaction is too costly. But swift and effective action makes economic sense. Every dollar invested in ecosystem restoration creates up to thirty dollars in economic benefits.” 🌱🐝 ASUENE is proud to be part of #GenerationRestoration: a global community of policymakers, companies, organisations, and advocates that seek actionable change. #GenerationRestoration begins with us. 5 June is #WorldEnvironmentDay: https://lnkd.in/g8RBQ3q

🌍 On this World Environment Day, we stand united as #GenerationRestoration! 🌱🌡️ "While we can't turn back time, we can restore our forests, revive water sources, and rejuvenate our soils." UNEP's campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. As António Guterres says, "Every dollar in ecosystem restoration yields up to thirty dollars in economic benefits." 🌱🌍 ASUENE proudly joins this global movement for actionable change. Let's make a lasting impact! #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay

In Latin America, climate change and commercial development are forcing many Indigenous communities to migrate away from the land they have called home for generations. As climate justice funders, we must better support the preservation of the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and their land! https://lnkd.in/eAEC2znb

Climate change affects more than just the planet; it affects people, too. 🌏 The most vulnerable communities around the world are bearing the brunt of climate change's devastating impacts despite contributing the least to the problem. Millions are joining the climate justice movement to protect these communities most impacted by climate change, hold those accountable for their actions, and ensure fair and achievable solutions. Together, we can work to create a more equitable and sustainable future.

Interesting / terrifying article from the UN Environment Programme that outlines the scale of global #deforestation and the impacts on #wildlife, #people and the #climate: https://lnkd.in/dtms9cSC The article opens with the bald fact that 'every year, humanity clears 10 million hectares of forests, an area equivalent to the size of Portugal', prompting Mirey Atallah, Head of the Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience branch of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to say that “Not only do forests support rich #biodiversity and provide for human societies and economies but they play a vital role in stabilizing our climate. If we are to have any hope of slowing climate change, we must halt deforestation.” 

22nd April is World Earth Day. Our environmental legacy demonstrates the power of collective action.Individuals, businesses, governments, and the private sector must unite to combat climate change to protect biodiversity and preserve ecosystems. Stelden East Africa helps companies to cut down on their paper consumption which is a big contributor to climate change. Our systems help organizations cut their paper consumption by upto 90%.

💦 Tomorrow it's World Environmental Health Day and this year’s theme is "Environmental Health: Creating resilient communities through disaster risk reduction and climate change mitigation and adaptation." Kristian James, a member of our climate change satellite panel and keen walker, shares a really interesting case study with us, outlining how EHPs, working alongside key stakeholders, adapted to periods of water scarcity 💦 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSjZuk7M #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay #ClimateChange
