Big news for !

Four new United Nations World Restoration Flagships have just been announced!

We’re celebrating four inspiring initiatives: Collaborative Rangelands Restoration in Jordan, Revitalizing Korea's Forests from Fires, Bamboo-based Restoration, and The Restoration Initiative.

From reviving biodiversity and helping ecosystems recover from the devastating effects of wildfires to promoting soil reviving restoration that benefits both nature and communities, these projects are powerful examples of win-win solutions for people and the planet.

Congratulations! https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/healthy-nature-better-food-systems-un-awards-new-world-restoration

Your food and groceries will soon arrive with a smaller carbon footprint. 🍃

Today, Delivery Hero, DoorDash, iFood, Mr D, Swiggy, Uber, Wolt and Zomato launched the Deliver-E Coalition at Dubai Humanitarian. Hosted by UNEP, this new alliance will help companies scale up zero-emission two- and three-wheelers for food and grocery deliveries across the world.

Together, these platforms operate in 96 countries and make around 6 billion deliveries every year. By shifting to electric vehicles, they can help cut air pollution, reduce emissions, and make city life cleaner and quieter, .

53 million people depend on high-risk tropical forests for clean water, food, jobs, and protection from natural disasters.

Tripling investments to protect, restore, and sustainably manage these forests can unlock long-term economic growth and prosperity.

Learn more with these two just-published UN reports and discover how valuing their multiple benefits and smart financing can turn forests into powerful allies against climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/triple-investments-forests-2030-reap-multiple-benefits-says-un

Seabirds once lost from Mexico’s islands are making a comeback.

For decades, invasive species have wiped out nesting grounds and devastated local biodiversity.

But through Mexico’s efforts of removing invasive species, replanting native vegetation, strengthening biosecurity, and working with local communities, nature is bouncing back.

So far, this project has:
· Removed 13 invasive species across 39 islands
· Restored 60,000+ hectares of habitat
· Restored 23 of 27 lost seabird colonies.

Healthy ecosystems are natural defences against disasters. They are essential for building resilience and helping communities withstand and recover from environmental and climate shocks.

Well-managed ecosystems like wetlands, forests and coastal systems act as natural infrastructure. They reduce hazard risks, support livelihoods and provide vital resources such as food, water and building materials.

Swipe to see how healthy ecosystems are key to reducing disaster risks.

As our cities grow, the spaces birds depend on to rest, nest, and feed are disappearing — putting migratory birds at risk.

But change is possible!

By educating our communities, restoring nature in our cities, and creating connected green and blue spaces, we can give migratory birds safe places to thrive again.

This , be part of the movement for safe — where people and birds can coexist in harmony. https://www.worldmigratorybirdday.org/
