RT @WetlandsInt: "#Freshwater ecosystems are fast disappearing. The good news is solutions already exist. Join the #FreshwaterChallenge & work with us to turn commitments into action" #COP16Colombia #GBF https://t.co/9HghHMwmYv

Join us at our official side event this Friday at #COP16Colombia on The Freshwater Challenge.

Freshwater Ecosystems have suffered the greatest loss of biodiversity in the last 70 years, and yet are the foundation of water resilience for people and nature and essential for adaptation to the climate crisis. 45 countries recognise this and have joined the Freshwater Challenge, committing to restore and protect rivers, #wetlands and lakes. This event will highlight how these countries are putting this into action, and how we have the data, knowledge and tools to ensure freshwater biodiversity thrives as our rivers are revived.

🌍 Excited for Next-Gen Forest Solution: Financing a Systemic Solution for Conservation 🌳

📅 Oct 27 | 10:45 - 12:15 (-05)
📍 IUCN Pavilion, Blue Zone

Each year, 5B trees are cut for packaging & textiles. Alternative fibers (think wheat straw & discarded textiles) offer a future with:

✔️ Less land use 🌱
✔️ 5x reduced biodiversity impact 🐾
✔️ CO2 emissions down 4 tonnes per tonne 🌍
Let's talk innovation, sustainable investment, and nature-based solutions for a resilient future!
