Smart nature investments deliver returns. When Rwanda Environment Management Authority made wetlands an urban priority in #Kigali it created living infrastructure, public commons for 1.5m visitors + an economic platform for 7,500 jobs. wrld.bg/RRZT50Y7Xjr Global Environment Facility (GEF) Rwanda Green Fund KfW Development Bank @Denmarkdotdk

Land degradation affects up to 40% of the world's land. Restoring 150 million hectares, an area the size of #Mongolia, could secure food for 200 million people. #UNCCDCOP17 will drive practical, investable solutions to scale up restoration where it is needed most. #UNited4Land
