#NatureBasedSolutions are vital.
Addressing #LandDegradation can provide more than 1/3 of the most cost effective greenhouse gas mitigation activities to keep #ClimateChange within the #ParisAgreement target of 2°C.

🐟23 years of work by residents is what was needed to restore a 'marine desert' into a thriving #ecosystem🐠 in Cabo Pulmo
This shows it is not too late to restore #biodiversity in damaged ecosystems, but it requires action 🦈

Its great when the science and policy critical for the #NatureCrisis draws crowds larger than the venues can accommodate. Thanks @ICES_ASC and @uniofgothenburg for hosting this important seminar and livestreaming for those who can't be there in person.
Tonight's @IPBES @ICES_ASC seminar at @uniofgothenburg at 17:30 is fully booked, but will be livestreamed - follow it at: formas.se/arkiv/evenemang/ev…
