Importante descubrimiento para la ciencia. Investigadores de la Fundación ProAves descubren una nueva especie de Grallaria a la que se refieren tentativamente como “Tororoi del Dorado” (El Dorado Antpitta en inglés). Conoce más detalles de esta maravillosa especie en el video.

Monday 28 Feb will see the release of IPCC’s second part of the 6th Assessment Report on consequences of our rapidly changing climate. The report will confirm that ever more extreme extreme weather events and other impacts are endangering our planet. @CABEI_Org @WRIAdaptation

@dkClimateAmb Thomas, this is Walter Vergara, we met when I was climate chief at IDB. I am now the a director at WRI. Understand you are coming to Colombia and seeking a meeting with WRI. Glad to help in any way possible.

Exciting appointment. We welcome you in the circle of climate envoys, Jennifer. Look forward to working closely with you and the German team. @climatemorgan

IPCC ipcc.ch/assessment-rep… confirms once again we have altered the habitability of our planet. Difficult not to call out the negligence and senseless behavior of so many tied to fossil fuel interests. The world of our children and grandchildren is at stake.

Bill Gates: Forget the climate policy tweaks and go for the big stuff politi.co/3dfpkzb via @politico . YES! and in Latin America it means: 100% renewables in power; electrify all transport; electrify industry; stop deforestation and restore degraded land. IT CAN BE DONE.

Moving simultaneously toward a 100% renewable power grid and complete electrification of transport in Latin America, would produce savings in capital investments, reduced costs of services, avoided health impacts, major gains in jobs & energy efficiency & security. @WRIEnergy

@GIAndradeP Enfocado en el anuncio de deforestacion cero. Y empujandolos a adoptar una politica ambiciosa para desactivar la infraestructura de una economia fosil y reemplazarla con una basada en recursos renovables.

¿Te refieres a las metas?
