Beyond the loss of lives & immense human suffering, conflicts are an obstacle to reduce poverty & achieve the #SDGs. That’s why with partners & United Nations system, we're on the ground in conflict settings around the 🌍 to anticipate, prevent, respond & recover. go.undp.org/35c

National climate strategies must reflect urban realities. Cities contribute over 70% of global emissions - and face some of the worst climate impacts. To safeguard communities and ensure sustainable futures, we need targeted urban strategies in new national climate plans.

🌳 Trees can cool cities down: but not all trees, and not everywhere, equally. A global study across 110 cities shows cooling depends on 🌡️ climate, 🏙️ urban layout & 🌳 species. Some lower temperatures by 12 °C! 👉 ow.ly/Tm1V50VAYfI #NatureBasedSolutions #BeatTheHeat
