Great Salt Lake Shrinking Amid Greenhouse Gas Emissions 💡 The Great Salt Lake is rapidly shrinking, largely due to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. 💡 The shrinking lake has significant environmental and ecological consequences for the surrounding area. 💡 This situation highlights the urgent need for policies to address greenhouse gas emissions and environmental preservation. #climate #GHGs #climatechange #netzero #energytransition #greenhousegas

Our member The Nature Conservancy and the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute recently published the Natural Allies report, which investigates the benefits of Natural Climate Solutions (NCS), identifies the barriers to scaling them, and recommends key actions to overcome those barriers. The report emphasizes that human society can no longer afford to choose between its progress and environmental sustainability, and that the world must invest in and work with nature to address both the climate and biodiversity crises.

Environmental responsibility. Be aware of the importance of your action (s) and the danger of complacency. Each person's contribution to sustainability and conservation efforts is crucial in the collective battle against climate change and environmental degradation. This is a reminder that waiting for others to act can lead to inaction, which is a significant barrier to progress in protecting our planet. #SaveEarth #SaveOurHome #SustainableFuture #EnvironmentalResponsibility #ResponsiblePeople

🌿 Now Available: The Climate-Smart Mangrove Tool Mangroves are invaluable ecosystems that provide numerous benefits to both people and nature. They store a significant amount of carbon, helping to mitigate climate change and protect communities from storms and erosion.  However, mangroves face increasing threats from climate-related events that weaken or kill mangrove trees. To tackle this challenge, WWF, in collaboration with its partners, has developed the Climate Smart Mangrove Conservation Decision Support Tool (CSMT).  "“Mangroves play an increasingly critical role as a nature-based solution to protect people and infrastructure from worsening climate extremes, but for them to play that role, they have to survive climate change themselves. This tool can help conservationists identify and address specific climate risks so mangroves can continue to protect us well into the future," says Nicole Chabaneix, MSc, Senior Specialist in Climate Adaptation and Resilience and co-author of the tool.  The CSMT is designed to assist conservation practitioners in integrating climate change considerations into their mangrove conservation efforts. By providing insights into the risks of climate change to mangrove ecosystems, the tool enables practitioners to identify the best preventative and restorative management actions to enhance the resilience of these ecosystems.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) to address the climate crisis leverage the power of natural ecosystems to mitigate and adapt to climate change. These solutions include conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of forests, wetlands, grasslands, and coastal ecosystems, which act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. NbS also enhances biodiversity, improves water and air quality, and provides socio-economic benefits to communities. By integrating nature-based strategies into climate policies, we can harness the resilience of natural systems to support human adaptation and reduce the vulnerability of ecosystems to climate impacts. In essence, NbS represents a holistic approach, aligning environmental stewardship with climate action to create sustainable and resilient landscapes for future generations. #climatechange#REDUCE#NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS

Wetlands—including peatlands, mangroves, and marshes—store carbon, regulate water systems, and support biodiversity. As #COP29Azerbaijan progresses, the Convention’s engagement shows the importance of wetlands in achieving climate resilience and biodiversity goals. With coordinated action and investment, wetlands can help mitigate the effects of climate change and support a better quality of life for communities worldwide.
