#NotWithoutNature Important campaign from 60 organisations in the Netherlands, urging the government to stick to its commitment and targets to tackle the #nitrogen crisis and leave #nature for our children. Wereld Natuur Fonds

Did the Dutch Central Bank play its role in the Dutch #nitrogen crisis? Allowing €10s of billions of loans to be extended for the intensification of the livestock industry, which was clearly in contravention of EU regulation. 💧💱Aaron Vermeulen @NicolasPoolen fd.nl/opinie/1451172…

⏰ Time for a new #UNCCDquiz! ⏰ How much of ice-free land has already been altered by humans?

Hope this sends a strong message that we will not undermine Green Finance to suite business-as-usual! This is a crisis. That requires bold leadership! @NicolasPoolen Wereld Natuur Fonds Aaron Vermeulen Vanessa EU green finance advisers walk out in protest reuters.com/article/eu-reg…

'The Amazon cannot survive another four years of Bolsonaro' In the news today in Netherlands. Wereld Natuur Fonds Mauricio Voivodic @KirstenHnrds

Great that Denmark is recognised for the symbolic gesture of being the 1st to offer Loss & Damage finance. However, $13 million feels like a very small number to me... Or am I missing something? reuters.com/world/denmark-…

Do the right thing Brazil. For yourselves and our planet. The Amazon cannot take another 4 years of Bolsonaro. And if the Amazon fails, we are in deep trouble. The Amazon plays a critical not only for biodiversity, but also in stabalising our climate. edition.cnn.com/2022/10/01/ame…

Indigenous people are closely watching Sunday's presidential runoff in Brazil, with the outcome likely to determine whether land claims are upheld #Brazil #BrasilVota22 #indigenous context.news/climate-justic…

Yup, that would make a lot of sense.

Well done Brazil! The Brazilian public have chosen human rights and the environment over hate and short term populist politics. The international community must now play its part to help ensure a peaceful transition of power.

Good initiative, right direction, but wrong sense of urgency and ambition. Mandatory disclosure only by 2030? The aim is to reverse nature loss by 2030. For this, we need mandatory disclosure by 2025 at the latest! Lets get serious now! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Congratulations to Saleemul Huq & others who have fought tirelessly for the establishment of a #LossAndDamage fund to support vulnerable countries cope with a #ClimateCrisis they did little to create. Pity it took polluting countries so long to acknowledge this.

Very important thread 🧵!

The EU Deforestation Law comes at a very politically opportune time. If there ever was a time to be ambitious for our forests and people that live within them, this is it! @TimmermansEU Kitty van der Heijden @KirstenHnrds aje.io/wkawfg via Al Jazeera English

Today at the UN Biodiversity #COP15montreal, world leaders must commit to halting & reversing the loss if nature by 2030. They have said it in their lovely speeches previously. Now is the time to commit. Its a strong commitment or nothing.

"Let me be clear. There is no serious scientist in Europe who thinks that a reduction of #pesticides use would threaten #FoodSecurity. Of course, new legislation will have an impact on the industry & at farm level. But it is precisely the point !" @JeroenCandel from Wageningen U&R
