An interesting study of how the shape of urban greenspace affects the reduction in air temperature doi.org/10.1016/j.agrf…

The quality andquantity of water flowing into thousands of cities around the world is directly dependent on the landscapes through which it flows bit.ly/2z4F5nuvia The Nature Conservancy

An important new paper on income and heat wave risk in dozens of US cities. I feel scooped somewhat, as I am working with USFS to map trees and ecosystem service provision for hundreds of US cities, but we aren't quite done yet npr.org/2019/09/03/754…

Smaller tech startups play an important role in solving local urban challenges—big companies can promote sustainability (and even turn a profit) by supporting their efforts bit.ly/2zO0zFy The Nature Conservancy Techstars

Excited to see the appropriation by Congress for money to increase community resilience, rather than just reconstruction. Let's just hope the program is implemented well eenews.net/climatewire/20…

Well done, @LynnScarlett1 !! 👏

And it goes way beyond perceptions of health! Lots of studies now showing quantifiable links between nature and health outcomes, although the quality and strength of evidence varies among the particular nature/health pathways.

The message from United Nations's recent reports couldn't be clearer: business as usual is a threat to climate, biodiversity, land and ocean. And every degree of global warming counts: links.nature.org/gjd4r

The #IPCC ocean and ice report releases on September 25. We're tackling: -What to expect -Why it matters -What we can do about it Learn more: links.nature.org/2edlg

A good review of climate change adaptation challenges that coastal cities in developing countries face: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The findings in the upcoming #IPCC ocean and ice report are expected to be dire. But the last thing we need is panic that leads to paralysis. Let's turn our concerns into ambitious action: links.nature.org/8vx57 #SROCC

When it comes to climate action, the devil is in the details, blogs @LynnScarlett1. Real change takes determination: links.nature.org/kmnvd

Exactly - urban green spaces can improve health outcomes and social cohesion, but science-based implementation is essential. World Economic Forum bit.ly/2kD5Cod

The IPCC's latest ocean report has grim news for coastal and island communities: extreme sea-level events that once occurred every 100 years could happen annually by 2050. But #NatureBasedSolutions can still help, if we act now. #SROCC bit.ly/2l5lnVj

Some call it the lungs, others the heart of the planet. 💙 It’s undeniable: the ocean is vital for life on Earth. Here's how we protect it: links.nature.org/f6zrq
