Forests are crucial in helping us adapt to #ClimateChange. They: 💧help ensure water availability 🌊 protect against landslides and floods 🏜️ prevent desertification 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 provide alternative livelihoods for people

Mangroves protect us from climate change, preserve biodiversity, support livelihoods & are essential for the nutrition & food security of millions. We all benefit from mangroves. Protecting them is protecting the health of our planet. #EarthDay #GenerationRestoration

Forested watersheds and wetlands provide 75% of the world's accessible freshwater.

The new UN #LossAndDamage Fund can channel taxes on high-carbon activities and other innovative sources of money to help pay for the growing effects of #climatechange – we just have to decide to apply them, writes Avinash Persaud for Climate Home News climatechangenews.com/2024/05/03/sei…

How we respond to the #wildfire challenge is of crucial importance. We need to shift from reactive responses to proactive measures centered on prevention & preparedness through integrated fire management, Food and Agriculture Organization’s Zhimin Wu tells #UNFF19 event ITTO - International Tropical Timber Organization #GlobalFireHub FAO in New York
