Are you missing key research to help you plan, fund, and implement climate projects? Today, we were at the Accelerating #NbS Conference in #Zambia, discussing why successful #NaturalClimateSolutions require effective planning supported by robust science, data, and mapping. To support your climate projects with these elements, we launched naturebase.org : a free, scientific data platform that helps you unlock nature’s potential. This platform is aimed at: 🏛 Governments and policymakers: to develop more comprehensive nature and climate plans to achieve 2030 goals. 🛠 Practitioners and technical experts: to identify, analyze, and make informed decisions that account for nature within climate planning and implementation, in line with 2030 goals. 👔 Project managers: to maximize mitigation outcomes by combining different strategies that also safeguard human rights. 🌿 #IndigenousPeoples and local communities: to finance their invaluable stewardship of nature. 💰 Funders: to identify the best projects to invest in. Become one of the first to use this platform at www.naturebase.org #climatesolutions #sustainablefutures #naturebasedsolutions #scienceandtechnology #naturefinance #fundingsolutions #climateaction #climateactionnow #naturetech Evergreen Alliance, CPA Preston Welker, PMP Patricia da Matta The Nature Conservancy

Nature4Climate aims to increase action on natural climate solutions in support of the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
About us
Nature4Climate is a multi-organization strategic communications platform to help raise the profile of natural climate solutions and catalyse action on the ground. Natural climate solutions are proven ways of storing and reducing carbon emissions in the world’s forests, grasslands and wetlands, and better stewardship of the land also has impact on other critical environmental, social and economic benefits, which are less well understood. These solutions are available immediately, are scalable and can transform key sectors of the global economy, such as forestry and agriculture – and they are available almost everywhere on the planet. Despite the fundamental science being very well understood, action on land use remains much underused as a climate strategy – lacking the funding and attention that has helped kickstart the energy transition. We use creative communications and advocacy to influence international climate policy, national government policy, and private sector action on implementing natural climate solutions between now and 2023. We bring together voices from governments, IGOs and NGOs, and business – underpinned by a steering group with communications and advocacy representation currently from CBD, CI, TNC, the UNDP, WHRC, WRI and WWF.

Are there places in the world that serve as “biodiversity havens”? Recent research has identified nearly 17,000 such sites globally, spanning approximately 164 million hectares. These sites urgently require protection to prevent the anticipated extinction of thousands of rare species. Interestingly, almost 61% of these ‘Conservation Imperatives’ sites are situated in the tropics, with over three-quarters nestled within tropical rainforests. Furthermore, 38% of these sites are conveniently located near existing protected areas, simplifying their conservation through integration into these areas or linkage via wildlife corridors. "Targeting these areas for immediate protection offers an achievable win for nature conservation by heading off the sixth great extinction of life on Earth", explains Dr. Eric Dinerstein of RESOLVE, the lead author of the paper. These Conservation Imperatives are home to over 4,700 threatened species residing in some of the world’s most biodiverse yet endangered ecosystems. These species include not only mammals and birds that rely on intact habitats, such as the tamaraw in the Philippines and the Celebes crested macaque in Indonesia, but also range-restricted amphibians, reptiles, and rare plant species.

🐠 The urgency of the situation is clear: without immediate and extensive action, we stand to lose 90% of the world’s remaining coral reefs by 2050. Yet, hope is not lost. The Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR) has recently pledged an additional US$25 million in grant funding to strengthen resilience efforts in coral nations. 🐚 A key initiative in this effort is a novel blended finance programme for Egypt’s Red Sea. This programme aims to establish the Egyptian Fund for Coral Reefs, with an anticipated US$50 million in private and public funding. The funds will be directed towards a sustainable blue economic transition and conservation efforts. These efforts encompass innovative solutions such as organic waste recycling for coastal farming, ecosystem restoration through aquaculture, and the installation of mooring systems to prevent boat-induced reef damage. 🐙 In addition to this, the GFCR Executive Board has announced an increase in funding for the Mesoamerican Region (MAR), as well as country programmes in Indonesia and the Philippines. A new initiative on Pemba Island, Zanzibar, has also been launched. As the leading global instrument for coral finance, the GFCR is committed to protecting and enhancing the resilience of at least three million hectares of coral reefs worldwide by 2030. This ambitious goal represents 25% of the Coral Reef Breakthrough target and approximately 12% of the world’s remaining reefs.

📌 I am actually going to print out this page of the explainer and stick it on the wall by my desk! If you’re anything like me and want to learn about the complexities of Article 6, then I can’t recommend this guide from The Nature Conservancy enough. Not only does it clarify Article 6.2, Article 6.4 and Article 6.8, but also sets expectations for developments at COP29 this year. I found the section on the interactions between Article 6 and the VCM particularly useful. It explains how Article 6 could indirectly impact the VCM and the role of host countries in determining to what extent Article 6 rules could apply.

Digital conferencing technology was a lifeline for the #FoodSystems community during the pandemic, allowing global teams to stay connected and maintain their initiatives when travel and social distancing restrictions were in place. But when it comes to transforming agriculture, there’s no substitute for getting together in person, sharing knowledge over a locally-grown meal, and learning first-hand from farmers and communities about the challenges they face and the solutions they’ve pioneered to tackle them. This year, Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU)’s India and Ethiopia country platforms have been doing exactly that – connecting across borders as part of a cross-country learning programme on sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Read about the programme in this photo story, which captures snapshots from its various workshops, site visits and field trips, and highlights what the countries can learn from each other’s respective initiatives to improve livelihoods, soil health and yields: https://lnkd.in/eRCaZMSA

#NatureReadings Dr. Nadina Galle's recently launched new book "The Nature of Our Cities" explores the link between urbanization and nature, highlighting the growing dangers of our disconnection from the natural world. The book discusses how innovative technologies (a la #NatureTech) integrate nature into urban environments through the "Internet of Nature" to turn the tide on the loss of nature. Examples include "talking trees" raising awareness about deforestation, "bio-blitzes" engaging thousands in global biodiversity mapping, and apps tracking nature exposure for better health. You can get a copy of the new book here: https://lnkd.in/eNrvKQi3

#WeekendPodcast 🎧“We are part of nature. We are a very important keystone species with our hands in many ecosystems worldwide, and we must take that responsibility seriously.” This quote from Peter Ellis, the Global Director of Natural Climate Solutions Science at The Nature Conservancy, addresses the potential of nature to mitigate the carbon required to stabilize the planet, while benefiting ecosystems and human well-being. He was a guest on Lara Birkes’ podcast, Nature IS (Better Worlds), and shared the microphone with Lucy Almond, Chair of Nature4Climate. They discussed how to plan and deliver high-integrity natural climate solutions projects using technology, and introduced the new free platform, naturebase.org. Naturebase combines science-based data on nature’s pathways to empower decision-makers, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders worldwide with data-driven insights on natural climate solutions. It provides region-specific information on the potential carbon sequestration achievable through interventions like reforestation, avoided deforestation, and improved land management practices in any given region or area. Enjoy the episode this weekend and learn more about the potential of nature and naturebase. 🍀 https://lnkd.in/eWPxEPJs #climateaction #naturebasedsolutions #podcast
