Later the AFG members donated some farming tools to aid the ongoing efforts of the #NavolauYouth on food security & livelihood. The materials included greenhouse netting for the nursery that will house native trees & native fruit tree seedlings 🌱

AFG members joined the #NavolauYouth this morning to plant vetiver grass at the riverbank & coastline in the efforts to mitigate coastal erosion, that has resulted from strong & increasing tidal waves.

Our friends at the Santo Sunset Environment Network just shared this wonderful piece about a festival they just had to celebrate traditional knowledge, village customs and culture, and conservation in Vanuatu. So, we've just published the piece on our blog

Tonight we had some of our incredible volunteers come together for a social e-catch up! Was so fantastic to see older and newer volunteers in one place and hear about the amazing work everyone is doing at Climates!

Almost 70% of wildlife has been lost in the last 50 years.
Tackling biodiversity loss is essential in addressing climate change 🌎
That is why the UK is putting nature, and the sustainable use of natural resources, at the heart of its #COP26 Presidency.

Here’s the thing: by 2030 we need to cut emissions by about 45% just to keep global warming to 1.5 deg. Today’s report👇shows planet on course to reduce by only 1%
Before #COP26, countries need real plans & action to achieve big emission cuts by 2030. No ifs. No buts. No time.
A new UN Climate Change report shows that climate plans submitted so far by countries do not put us on a path to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
But many parties must still submit their #NDC. This year, we can turn this trend around. #ItsPossible
