When it comes to limiting climate change, we must work together as one global community.
No country can solve the climate crisis alone. A green #FutureIsPossible and national climate pledges can help us get there: go.undp.org/FDB7#COP28
When food is lost or wasted, the land, labour, water, energy & all of the resources that went into producing it are being wasted too.
Reducing #FoodLoss & #FoodWaste means protecting the health of our one & only planet.
Let's all act: for people & 🌍!
Coral reefs are home to more than 25% of marine life - yet, they are under serious threat due to human activity.
Experience the coral reef through the eyes of a sea turtle & discover its invaluable significance for life under water & on land.

Climate impacts are intensifying worldwide, yet emissions continue to rise.
UNEP's 2023 #EmissionsGap Report outlines the urgent steps needed to meet the Paris Agreement goals: wrld.bg/jg2250Q9wHa
🔹Overfishing
🔹Habitat destruction
🔹Illegal, unreported & unregulated fishing
🔹Unsustainable practices...
...have all taken a heavy toll on our oceans.
@FAO's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries has helped governments protect our blue heritage 👇
#WorldFisheriesDay
🌳 Dense mangroves can protect an area by reducing storm surges by 66% on their own.
🐠 If coral reefs are present too, they can help reduce the wave strength and height, cutting down the impact of extreme weather events, like floods further 🌊
Sustainable fisheries help protect our marine environment, enhance food security & contribute to achieving the #GlobalGoals.
On Tuesday's #WorldFisheriesDay, learn more from @fao about the importance of sustainably managing the world's aquatic resources: fao.org/state-of-fisheries-a…
