The CO2 emissions of just five oil & gas corporations since 2015 are estimated to have caused over US$5 TRILLION in economic damages.
However, these costs are falling on outdoor workers, small farmers, informal settlements and public budgets in the Global South.

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention.
THE most critical tasks of our time are:
• Protect what remains of wild ecosystems
• Mass rewilding where damaged or lost

Restoration is needed (and applauded) when protection has failed. This is good news. And impressive to boot!
Congratulations to The Restoration Initiative — newly recognized as a UN World Restoration Flagship!
Spanning 9 countries, it has already restored 320,000 ha of degraded land and benefited 420,000+ people.
