Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030.
We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate

From our archives: The water that a single tree transpires daily has the cooling effect of two home air conditioners.
Deforestation is dramatically disrupting this arboreal air conditioning.

Within my lifetime, nearly 80% of the fossil fuel CO2 + 60% of all GHG emissions have been released while wildlife populations have declined 70%.
The profound climate and biodiversity crises we confront are just different sides of the same coin. Read more: scientificamerican.com/artic…

Healthy ecosystems are a source of food, water, medicine, shelter + more.Yet, human activities have profoundly altered most terrestrial habitats. Urgent action is needed to halt & reverse #biodiversityloss

Every fraction of a degree matters.
We are already experiencing the devastating impacts from 1.1°C of warming.
To keep the goal of 1.5°C within reach, we need urgent, systemwide transformation to secure a net-zero, climate resilient future: bit.ly/3KUZYav

🙏 @SecretaryPete for this BBD (Big Biodiversity Deal)! @AmericanForests we’re using #reforestation to reconnect wildlife corridors for far-ranging species like the ocelot. This BIL funding will create safe 🐆 passage where those corridors cross roads. 1/2 – at Alexandria, VA

Our vision is to see the majority of delivery vans on our streets replaced by zero emission e-cargobikes.
Using and encouraging the use of e-cargobikes is an easy and immediate way to make an impact on emissions.

Extreme heat is the #1 health threat from #Climate. @AmericanForests is 🙏 to partner with @google to help cities use 🌳 as a natural defense. We’re using data to focus 🌳 planting & care where needed for #TreeEquity so every neighborhood has protection.

Yesterday I was asked: “what are the 5 things you think everyone needs to know?”
So, I thought I’d share them here too:
1. This chart from the IPCC 6th Assessment Synthesis report, released this week, shows just how far away we are from limiting warming to below 2C: (1/11)

This plot seems inconsistent with the oft-made claim that we're on track for 2.5°C of warming this century.

Can you imagine if we could capture the CO2 that is driving #ClimateChange and turn it into useful products that we really need? Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Second, every bit of warming matters. The warmer the planet gets, the more widespread and pronounced the changes in both average climate and climate and weather extremes become.

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

#TreeEquity isn’t about 🌳, it’s about people—what trees can do for us, and what happens when we plant & care for them together. That’s why I am so excited @girlscouts is making Tree Equity part of the #TreePromise, including this weekend’s planting in #Phoenix.
