CO2-driven warming during the Pliocene can be used as an analog for present-day warming. A temperature record from a Colombian sedimentary core suggests that the tropics were 4.8 °C warmer in the Pliocene than during the late Pleistocene. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/iJ1c50YbG8B

"Kigali’s project cannot stop floods on its own or reverse climate change, but it represents a rare, citywide effort to rebuild nature-based infrastructure — offering one of the continent’s clearest models for urban areas seeking to boost their resilience." #NbS #resilience
As rainfall intensifies in the Rwandan capital of Kigali, the city is working with nature to protect against worsening floods.
Officials are reforesting hillsides and restoring more than 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands to absorb stormwater.

Plagued by Flooding, an African City Reengineers Its Wetlands
As climate change and urbanization intensify flooding in Rwanda, the hilly capital of Kigali has embraced nature-based solutions. The city is restoring and reshaping 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands, planting native species to filter and slow runoff and enhancing biodiversity.

Addressing landscape multifunctionality in conservation and restoration
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 30 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00091-4Multifunctional land-use systems supply multiple ecosystem services while contributing to biodiversity conservation. This Review summarizes the provision of ecosystem services and their trade-offs and synergies with biodiversity at the landscape scale, explores traditional, contemporary and emerging land-use systems, and highlights strategies and challenges to achieve multifunctionality in conservation and restoration.
