Genuine ecological transition as the central government has managed to block the regional government’s plan, replacing it with €350 million in social projects for the area where the irrigation would have taken place and the wetlands are now safer…..

Just discovered another common thread in WaterLANDS connecting ambitious wetland restoration propositions in 6 Action Sites between Irish bogs c/o LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature and Venice’s salt marsh. Drain blocking and sediment capture/erosion protection respectively.

Est. saving of $2.3 BN in avoided damage to human health from shipping by reducing air pollution with expanded regulation on the use of shorepower in California. Whereas ambitious plans for shorepower in Italy dont yet incl. OBLIGATIONS for ships to connect.

Activist Shaama Sandooyea calls on #COP28 to include global #shipping in its fossil fuels phase out deal. This would: 🌏🌫️ Cut massive emissions 🛢️🫗 Prevent environmental disasters 📢🇺🇳 Drive more ambition at International Maritime Organization Full explainer ↓ #ClimateAction news.mongabay.com/2023/12/any-fo…

Yesterday was the 2nd birthday of #WaterLANDSH2020! We celebrate 2 years of new connections, exciting fieldwork & diverse research on policy, ecology, finance and engagement for large scale wetland restoration. THANK YOU to our strong partnership #restoring #wetlands! 💚🌊🌍🌱

This is the kind of advertising we need to see. This ad in the Financial Times today calls for a fossil fuel #freefuture. I stand with the MILLIONS ready to help national governments deliver a rapid,  just & equitable phase out.

The Venice Action Site and Ems Dollard are the only two coastal wetlands. The other four (in Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland and UK) are freshwater systems. This initiative is strengthened by the opportunity to compare, contrast, share and challenge!

Thanks for signalling this development. Members of Global Cruise Activist Network will be wondering where a 15 storey ship can go without CAUSING its own congestion?
