Intact forests are one of the most powerful and cost-effective solutions we have to combat #ClimateChange.

At 9 am ET, join us live to kick off #NatureForLife Hub as experts talk #NatureForClimate. bit.ly/33V9V0H

Nature-based solutions can provide up to 30% percent of the action needed by 2030 to keep global temperature rise below 2°C. #NatureForLife #ClimateChange

Intact forests are estimated to absorb 1/4 of total global carbon pollution annually, but we're losing them far too rapidly. #NatureForLife

Today, it’s estimated that 36% of remaining intact forests lie within Indigenous Peoples lands. Working with these groups is one of the most effective pathways to achieve the 30x30 goals. #NatureForLife

“Indigenous nations from across Canada are leading a movement in indigenous conservation….we are protecting lands on a sweeping scale across the boreal forest.”
—Shaunna Morgan Siegers of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative (Canada) #NatureForLife

Today, as part of the #NatureForLife Hub, @US_N4C is launching to increase the salience of nature-based solutions in the U.S. climate change conversation.
