WWF-Australia has long had a vision to rehabilitate, restore and create conditions for climate resilience, and this was catalysed by the bushfire tragedy of 2019-2020. In 2022, we collaborated with WWF-Australia to co-create and deliver three Local Learning Labs to catalyse regenerative capabilities in place. Find out how we bolstered the regenerative capabilities of regional communities in NSW, SA and VIC: https://bit.ly/3TAvwFP

Considering oceans: -Cover roughly 71% of the earth’s surface… -Contain ~97% of our planet’s water… -Have approximately 40% of the world's population living within 100 kilometers their coastlines (which is double the global average population density)… -Provide resources such as food, jobs, and income for almost 3 billion people globally, across both developed and developing countries… We might be well-served to spend more than one day/week each year focused on them. Get a jump start on UN World Ocean’s Day with Newday Impact Investing and an inspiring group of innovators solving for oceanic restoration, regeneration, and resilience. https://lnkd.in/gasYK3Xk.

A highlight of my #ClimateWeekNYC was moderating this U.S. Climate Alliance panel of State leaders who are delivering #Forests4Climate and other nature-based solutions and catalyzing the entire field in the process. From the natural and working lands practices we prioritize to how we measure them to how we make them happen at scale with policy and private finance, these States are showing the way. 🙏from American Forests.

Despite the devastating, carbon-releasing wildfires many other states and regions have experienced in the past few years, New Mexico maintained 99.5% of its carbon store according to our Carbon Monitoring System. How? Our forests, our natural and working lands sequester and store it—and make up for lost carbon with thoughtful regrowth and management. They have serious protection and resources thanks to the "...$300 million “Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund” in 2023, New Mexico’s first dedicated funding source for conservation, agriculture, wildlife protection, and outdoor recreation programs" by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. #carbonsequestration #carbonaccounting #nwl #climatechange #climatepolicy #newmexico #nycclimateweek

For more than six decades, DRI has tackled global climate challenges. But fortifying communities against environmental devastation requires more than science — it demands diversity of thought and the collective resolve of leaders and subject matter experts across the full spectrum of public and private sectors. Our new global initiative, AWE+, will begin with a wildfire summit where delegates will grapple with difficult questions, share ideas, and form collaborative relationships that enable them to reduce risk and improve resilience to wildfire. https://lnkd.in/gpMPURvW
