In 2017 let's look beyond what we know is achievable & ask ourselves "what else" & #dream a little! Then get busy making it happen 🐘🌏🐝💦🌴

So much to get busy with - #ClimateAction, native #biodiversity water quality, #Wetlands, hill county #erosion , integrated catchment planning, #flood protection … Horizons Regional Council’s 10 year plan is out now - “Have Your Say” haveyoursay.horizons.govt.nz/2024-34LTPcons…

As the world convenes for #COP28 in Dubai this week, the prevailing message is captured in my opinion piece in the @NewTimesRwanda. In the article, I outline that it is imperative for Africa to present a united and firm front in Dubai, emphasizing not only the non-negotiable necessity for economic development but also the imminent risk of substantial #biodiversity loss on the continent. Despite our #youthful population and growth rates, achieving ambitious targets is contingent on #Africa deviating from the unsustainable paths that other regions have tread. In this regard, Africa has an opportunity to set an example for the world by adopting a #sustainable economic model that not only preserves #nature but also prioritizes the well-being of its people.

My speech to leaders at #COP27 yesterday was pretty clear. Here it is in each of the six official @UN languages: Stop lying كف عن الكذب 停止说谎 Arrêtez de mentir прекрати врать Deja de mentir #StopLying

#Africa holds 25% of the world’s biodiversity. Per hectare, some African forests store more carbon than the Amazon. There is no long-term #sustainablefuture if we don’t find the balance between human aspiration and the protection of our natural resources. #COP27 @AWF_Official
