This year's UN Climate Change Conference has been described as disappointing. No overall consensus was reached on increased climate ambition. However, many businesses are ready to drive climate action. During COP25, over 500 companies have publicly committed to accelerate the reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions to reach the net zero target by the year 2030. ___ #GLFCOP25 #COP25 #ClimateActionNow #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ZeroEmissions #Business #PrivateSector #emissions #zeronettarget

According to the UN, up to 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions derive from the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. 🌳 We need forests. Together with improved land management options, forests and trees could provide up to 30% of greenhouse gas mitigation required by 2030 to keep the increase in global average temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. 🌳 ___ #GLFCOP25 #COP25 #Forests #Forestry #Trees #Nature #Environment #Deforestation #Reforestation #Restoration #RestorationDecade #RainForests

Enticing young people to become farmers is very important. We want a young generation that is entrepreneurial, that is interested in getting the high-tech part of farming to really move ahead and feed the world. 🌿 In the end, saving the climate is one thing, but if it can’t feed people, their impact on climate and on the world’s ecosystems is really going to be devastating. - Louise Fresco, researcher and writer on the future of food ___ Link in bio for more interviews

What is the role of the business sector in tackling the climate crisis? 🌱 Huge. Crucial. Essential. 🌱 Those are the messages from business sector both at #GLFLuxembourg2019 last weekend and at the #COP25. We need to find a common ground. 🌱 All our activities are to be aligned with the Paris Agreement, so that none of them will harm the climate, said Emma Navarro, Vice President of the European Investment Bank. ___ Link in bio for more #InvestmentCOP #GLFCOP25 #Finance #SustainableFinance #Landuse #Business #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ClimateActionNow #PrivateSector #GreenFinance @europeaninvestmentbank

It’s time to take soil seriously. Soils are the foundation of food security, but at the same time, around 33 % of our global soils are degraded. 🌿 We need to rethink our relationship to the soil: it can play a major role in mitigating climate change. ___ #WorldSoilDay #climatechange #GLFCOP25 #COP25 #soil #earth #degrigation #restoration #restorationdecade #agriculture
