Forests are one of the world’s best lines of defense against climate change as they remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere. Their loss has long-term consequences on countries’ ability to meet climate commitments. This #BiodiversityDay learn the impact of 🔥 on forests in 2024

New data analysis from Global Forest Watch unpacks the drivers of tropical forest loss. To address fires, agriculture-driven #deforestation and create enduring change, we need both tailored solutions to each country’s local context, and global policies and finance that incentivize

💭Global attention and investment in carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) increased significantly in the recent years. But not everyone sees it as part of the climate solution. While certain countries are moving ahead, others are skeptical of its use. Some

🏫⚡The U.S. Department of Education found that school districts emit around 72 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from their energy use alone. They also own the largest public transportation fleet in the country with roughly 480,000 buses, mostly run on diesel and gasoline.

🛫Skipping flights or eating plant-based can cut emissions. But did you know that without systemic support, behavior changes can only achieve 10% of projected climate benefits? 🏆Government policies and industry practices to make sustainable behaviors easier, cheaper and more

India has set an ambitious goal of becoming energy independent by its 100th year of independence.  One key way to achieve this is by expanding bus networks into India’s smaller cities. Learn more👉 go.wri.org/india-bus-expa…

🌍Accelerating Africa's energy transition is crucial for global climate action. However, investments in renewable energy are predominantly concentrated in developed countries. 🏦💰In contrast, developing countries need approximately $1.7 trillion annually in renewable energy

Is carbon capture the same as carbon removal?🤔 No. While CCUS captures carbon emissions at their source, carbon dioxide removal removes CO2 that is already in the atmosphere. 💡7 things to know about #CarbonCapture, utilization and sequestration➡️ go.wri.org/carbon-capture…

New WRI Climate research finds over 50% of monetized benefits from adaptation investments can occur even without climate shocks. In other words, adaptation is far more than a safety net— it’s a launchpad for growth. Find out more: go.wri.org/climate-adapta… #InvestInAdaptation
