#InvasiveAlienSpecies are one of the five main drivers of biodiversity loss, according to @IPBES. This global challenge is inherently local in its impacts, meaning solutions require local action. Sounds like an opportunity for youth leadership to us! #IPBES10
Adapting to the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis is vital.☀️
Ecosystem-based adaptation focuses on conserving, sustainably managing & restoring natural ecosystems helping ppl adapt, but adaptation is lagging.
