1⃣ year ago, the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework was adopted at #CoP15 with a #BiodiversityPlan to halt & reverse biodiversity loss
Building on the #EUGreenDeal, the 🇪🇺 is on track in implementing it, but there’s still a long way to go #ForNature: europa.eu/!9gj6B6
The natural resources we need to produce food are at risk, including #soils.
We have to learn to produce more food, sustainably.
Sustainable soil management can help us to meet current & future demand for food.

Coral reefs harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. They are key indicators of global ecosystem health but are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth, largely due to unprecedented global warming and #climate changes.

#DYK Mixed forests & rich #biodiversity are crucial to the renewal & recharge functions of the water cycle?🌳
They affect rates of transpiration and evaporation & influence how water is routed and stored in watersheds.

#DYK that wetlands are biodiversity hotspots?

Let's appreciate and conserve these vital habitats!
Check out 5 facts on why wetlands deserve to be celebrated: ehs.unu.edu/news/news/unsung…
🌳🏡 Over 50% of the 🌍's population lives in urban areas.
🌲🌳Trees & urban forests can make our cities cooler, greener & happier places to live.
They also filter fine particulates from the air, which helps urban communities to stay healthy!

Peatlands are a type of wetlands which are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth but when damaged are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Restoring them can help combat #ClimateChange.
Unsustainable exploitation of plants & animals is endangering species and the livelihoods of billions of people. Look back at an important report outlining the situation from /@IPBES launched this year: unep.org/news-and-stories/st…
Because of the interconnected nature of risks in mountain systems, the way disaster risk is managed in mountain regions also has strong impacts on downstream areas.

Like rainforests, kelp forests act as lungs for the ocean, absorbing CO₂ and releasing oxygen. However, they're under threat from overfishing, pollution, and changing ocean temperatures. A UNEP report from earlier this year provides restoration guidance.
Accelerated climate actions can transform agrifood systems and help achieve food security and nutrition for all, today and tomorrow.
