The UK has the 12th longest coastline in the world. Saltmarshes, seagrass meadows and kelp forests are biodiversity hotspots and lock up carbon faster than woodland, yet all are in decline. #NetZero, meet #EcologicalRestoration.

Action to improve the nation’s resilience is failing to keep pace with the impacts of a warming planet and increasing the climate risks facing the UK. That is the view of our latest comprehensive assessment – More: bit.ly/2TALNza #UKClimateRisk

Food systems (the processes and infrastructures involved in feeding a population) account for up to 37% of all carbon emissions. 🌽 Ambitious commitments to food systems transformation are needed to achieve a 1.5C future. 💚 👉 unenvironment.org/news-and-stori… #WorldFoodDay | #COP26

Seagrass meadows are a mission critical resource in addressing both climate and biodiversity crises. #BlueCarbon finance can turn the tide to protect and expand these vital habitats

Despite covering only 0.1% of the ocean floor, seagrasses store up to 18% of the world’s oceanic carbon. ⚠️⚠️But almost 30% of known seagrass areas worldwide have been lost. Learn more about the importance of protecting seagrass meadows: unep-wcmc.org/news/seagrass-… #ForNature

Coral reefs only take up about 1% of the ocean floor, but host an estimated 25% of all ocean species. This abundance of creatures that are dependent on a specific structure has given coral the nickname “the rainforest of the seas.” 🌺 ow.ly/EdR850AKFkY

Kelp forests permanently sequester as much carbon annually as broadleaf woodland. The loss of kelp forests around the UK for decades is therefore akin to deforestation, yet it's not in the carbon inventory. #bluecarboncounts

Brilliant to see this partnership delivering to address both the climate and biodiversity crises. More like this needed in the UK and internationally. @SkyZeroOfficial @wwf_uk @SwanseaUni
