Incredibly happy and privileged to spend #WomanInScience day 2020 with this lovely lot of inspirational scientists PARTNERS Charlotte Wheeler Tom Swinfield

Great thread from Ed Mitchard 🛰️ this year is so hugely important if we are going to have a chance of preventing the #ClimateEmergency As host nation of COP26 we need to be doing everything we can to put pressure on our government to make the negotiations a success

The UK has a target to plant 30,000 hectares of tree a year, it's a lot but is it ambitious enough? And what should we plant where? @Costingtheearth investigates and also asks if we have the tree stocks or the skilled workforce to create sustainable woodlands. BBC Radio 4 3.30 pm

I was interviewed for @Costingtheearth on BBC Radio 4 about the UKs plans to plant 30,000ha of trees a year to help mitigate climate change. An interesting discussion about the benefits & pitfalls of widescale tree planting #trees #forests #planting bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

UK has a target to plant 30,000 ha of tree a year. ❔ Is it enough? 🌴 What should we plant where? ❓ Do we have the tree stocks or skilled workforce to create sustainable woodlands? Catch Charlotte Wheeler 's interview on @Costingtheearth BBC Radio 4 👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

How can #naturebasedsolutions address #climatechange mitigation? The #nbsdigitaldialogues tackles this challenge w/ a stellar list of panelists Cécile Girardin Simon Lewis Bronson Griscom Charlotte Wheeler & Pete Smith Yadvinder Malhi The Nature Conservancy @carbonbrief @ieta WRI Climate UNEP-WCMC

I'm really looking forward to being part of the 1st panel at the #Nbsdigitaldialogues this afternoon, discussing the potential of NBS for climate mitigation

I'm very excited our #U21ResearcherResiliance project #FOREPAST was funded, looking at improving tropical forest resilience to human-climate pressures Alexander Koch Xavier Benito Universitas 21

How much #carbon can we capture by restoring #forests?Important publication lead by Dr. Susan Cook-Patton TNC Climate - mapping and quantifying the global potential for natural forest regeneration: nature.com/articles/s4158… Yadvinder Malhi Charlotte Wheeler Bronson Griscom PARTNERS

How fast can #forests sequester #carbon? Our new study published in @nature predicts 2.4 Pg C yr-1 could be sequestered in naturally regenerating forest meaning forest regrowth could play an important role in climate change mitigation nature.com/articles/s4158…

🍃Nature-based solutions can help tackle climate change, enhance biodiversity and promote human well-being. But how can we make sure they’re carefully implemented? 🤲Charlotte Wheeler is one of the co-authors in the new #COP26Universities briefing paper ➡️: bit.ly/3npo2ol

Monitoring #forestdegradation is challenging especially without suitable ground data See our new paper where we present a new field protocol to improve forest degradation field data with Ed Mitchard 🛰️ Harry Carstairs and FIPRODEFO tinyurl.com/forestdeg

🌲 Scientists studying tropical forests in Africa’s mountains were surprised to uncover how much carbon they store, and how fast some of these forests are being cleared. ✍️ Published in nature. Co-authors: Ed Mitchard 🛰️ Charlotte Wheeler 📸 Ed Mitchard 🛰️ ow.ly/diS750FYsdH

"Nature gives us life. It is beautiful but it is also fragile. I was reminded of this in July when I went into space." Jeff Bezos. That's Cop26's Marie Antoinette moment.

Amazing to see Lydia Cole present all the amazing work we have been doing about #peatlands in #Peru at #COP26...such an incredible carbon rich ecosystem that needs protecting

Tomorrow is a Global Day for #ClimateAction. Join a march near you and tell our leaders at #COP26 that failure is not an option. Cant join in person then join online Keep 1.5 Alive greenpeace.org.uk/news/cop26-how…

.Deidre Brock if it goes ahead Cambo will produce climate pollution equal to 18 coal-fired power plants running for a year, creating devastating climate destruction. Please tell Boris Johnson to #StopCambo
