Hazardous chemicals and waste don’t just harm the planet — they affect our health too. The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions work together to protect people and the environment from these dangers. Explore more on how @brsmeas is making a difference: brsmeas.org

🌍 1/3 of all food produced is never eaten. That means wasted labor, water and energy — and unnecessary emissions. Reducing food loss and waste is essential for building a more sustainable and resilient future. Learn more from #SystemsChangeLab: bit.ly/3SlNpI2

🥛When it comes to environmental impact, not all milks are equal. Look at this chart, for example: Data shows cow’s milk produces roughly 3 times more emissions than plant-based options. 🌎The good news is that we don't need to choose between protein and the planet. Options like pea milk and soy milk provide a protein-rich alternative while reducing our impact. Read more on plant proteins: go.wri.org/go-wri-tw-prot…

When one hazard triggers another – and another. ⚠️ Cascading risk involves a hazard setting off a chain reaction across interconnected systems & sectors, with impacts amplifying.🔗 Managing cascading risk requires a dynamic, system-wide approach. ➡️ ow.ly/ozk750YYSar

How can a warmer Pacific Ocean disrupt weather patterns worldwide?🌊🌡️ It’s called El Niño & its 2026 return could be a major climate disruptor. This Just Have a Think video explains how this cycle works and why we should be watching the data. Watch now: app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/e7670594…

Why does biodiversity matter? Because without it, we wouldn’t have clean air, water or food. It also plays a role in our well-being. With #BiodiversityDay approaching on 22 May, let's be thankful for biodiversity and its contributions to our lives 🌍

🌍 Cleaner air, equal opportunities = A safer future. The #GlobalGoals are not random: they shape our everyday life. And we all have a role to play. un.org/en/climatechan…

🌍 Climate action affects lives and economies. From health benefits to economic growth and poverty reduction, the impacts of global climate action are far-reaching. Decisions made today will shape outcomes through 2050 and beyond. #StoriestoWatch: bit.ly/4quW1KV

🌇 Heat waves don't stop at sunset. Dense tree clusters cool parks by day but trap heat overnight. Open grassland does the reverse. A balanced mix of both can regulate temperature around the clock, @ConcordiaU research shows ➡️ ow.ly/UllV50YYQfT #BeatTheHeat

📣 Applications are still open for UNESCO’s #ICTPrize. The Prize recognises innovative projects using digital technologies and #AI to foster creativity, critical thinking and meaningful learning experiences. 🗓️ Apply before 29 May 2026 🔗 unesco.org/en/articles/un…

🛑 There’s no such thing as a natural disaster — disasters occur when risks are ignored. ⚡ Hazard – dangerous events 🏙️ Exposure – people/assets at risk 🧩 Vulnerability – conditions increasing harm 💡More 👉 ow.ly/hJyS50XNA5A #DRRretrospective

🌳😌🌇The cooling power of trees starts with shade. When surfaces like pavement, rooftops and buildings are exposed to direct sunlight, they absorb and store heat, releasing it back into the air long after the sun goes down. Trees interrupt that process. They shade sidewalks, streets and people, preventing surfaces from heating up in the first place. They also cool the surrounding air through evapotranspiration, the release of water vapor from leaves. Learn more about the cooling potential of urban trees➡️ go.wri.org/cool-trees-tw

From 19 to 22 May, #AfricaWeek 2026 at UNESCO will bring together voices from across the African continent through high-level discussions, youth forums, exhibitions, cinema, literature, fashion and cultural performances. This year’s edition will spotlight key issues shaping Africa’s present and future — from water governance and climate resilience to cultural heritage, digital transformation and youth empowerment. 👉 Full programme: unesco.org/en/articles/af…

Kigali is becoming a hub for the ideas and conversations shaping Africa’s future and we’re proud to be part of that journey. Visit the Spiro booth at #ACF2026 to connect, collaborate, and explore how we can move electric mobility forward together. #EnergyOnTheMove #ACF2026

Investing in climate services for health is a highly cost-effective way to save lives and reduce risk. Every $1 invested can generate between $4 and $68 in economic benefits, finds new @WRIClimate research commissioned by @RockefellerFdn. bit.ly/4nfdxD7

🏢🌿Nature-based solutions have a lot to offer cities, like: ☀️Reduced extreme heat 💧Improved water security 🌱New green jobs Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are already starting to deliver positive results in three African cities➡️ bit.ly/4tZebY5

💨 Where do emissions actually come from? CO2 and other greenhouse gases are rapidly warming the planet. This chart breaks down which sectors produce the most and how emissions flow across the economy. Read more or view the interactive chart here: bit.ly/4cP4XGk
