#Regram #RG @everydayclimatechange: Photo by Sima Diab/ @sima_diab for @everydayclimatechange A shipwright climbs a ladder to a disused fishing boat in a shipyard in Alexandria, Egypt along the coast line. Residential buildings are built alarmingly close to the shoreline putting lives and infrastructure at risk for habitual flooding and structural damage. With rising sea levels due to global warming many of the buildings in Alexandria are constantly battered by the salt water and sea air.

#Regram #RG @world_wildlife: Oceans make up 95% of the space available to life on Earth and cover 71% of our planet’s surface. They are home to an estimated 2 million species, from the largest animal that has ever lived—the blue whale—to the tiniest bacteria. At WWF, we are committed to creating and maintaining healthy and resilient marine ecosystems that support abundant biodiversity, sustainable livelihoods, and thriving economies. #WorldOceansDay

#Regram #RG @na******eo: Photo by @BrianSkerry. Happy World Oceans Day! On this day - when the world celebrates the magnificence of Earth’s oceans - I urge you to think about the need for conservation of our water planet. Approximately 98% of Earth’s biosphere - where life can exist on the planet - is ocean, and yet only about 3% is protected. Science tells us that, for a healthy planet, at least 30% of the oceans must be protected. We have a lot more work to do. Every other breath we takes comes from the sea, with more than 50% of the oxygen needed to survive generated by the ocean. If for no other reason than our own survival, ocean ecosystems must be conserved. The oceans give us so many riches, and taking care of the sea means a healthy future for all. Today, I will be speaking to world leaders at the General Assembly of the United Nations about the need to protect our water planet. I hope you join me in pushing for greater protection of our seas.

Now more than ever, the world is looking for bold leadership at every level to tackle climate change and environmental conservation issues. I am honored to work with President Pe?a Nieto (@EPN) to ensure the future viability of marine life in the Gulf. This action is a critical step towards ensuring that the Gulf of California continues to be both vibrant and productive, especially for species like the critically endangered #vaquita. My foundation, @LeonardoDiCaprioFdn, and I look forward to continuing to work with President Pe?a Nieto, our NGO partners and the local communities in the Gulf to reach greater progress on these important issues.

#Regram #RG @unitednations: Forests benefit the environment, economy and society all at the same time. Forest management not only tackles climate change, but also increases water quality, biodiversity, pest control, employment and tourism opportunities, just to name a few. That's why @undp is working to enhance Turkey's forest management through a new system to take comprehensive carbon measurements, including through training the government's forestry workers.

#Regram #RG @wwf: #DYK that oceans absorb about 40% of the world’s carbon dioxide, and are an important source of protein for billions of people? Unfortunately, the health of our seas faces a multitude of challenges from overfishing to climate change. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, comment on this post to show you want better protection for our oceans!?

Thank you @NatGeo for airing #BeforetheFlood for free. We must continue to educate and move forward. #Regram #RG @na******eo: Climate change is real - and it’s dangerous. Join @LeonardoDiCaprio as he explores the topic of climate change, and discovers what must be done today to prevent catastrophic disruption of life on our planet. Here, he and @enricsala watch - and listen to - narwhals purr on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, where their habitat is rapidly shifting. - #BeforeTheFlood is a film from Academy Award Winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Fisher Stevens, delving into the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

#Regram #RG @c40cities: US leadership on climate change will not change. Cities will continue to act! . #us #cities #cities4climate #leadership #climate #change #action #parisagreement #world #planet #impact #teamwork #tomorrow #future #healthy #planet #city #leaders #mayors #america

Today, the future livability of our planet was threatened by President Trump's careless decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. Our future on this planet is now more at risk than ever before. For Americans and those in the world community looking for strong leadership on climate issues, this action is deeply discouraging. Now, more than ever, we must be determined to solve climate change, and to challenge those leaders who do not believe in scientific facts or empirical truths. It is time for all of us to stand up, organize, fight back, and channel our energy into grassroots political action.

#Regram #RG @unfccc: “The sustainability train has left the station. Get on board or get left behind.” . Highlighting the seriousness of the impact of climate change on the planet and its inhabitants, @unitednations Secretary-General António Guterres has called for the world to rally behind the Landmark Paris Climate Change Agreement. . “The effects of climate change are already being felt around the world. They are dangerous and they are accelerating. It is absolutely essential that the world implements the #ParisAgreement and that we fulfil that duty with increased ambition,” he told a gathering of students, business leaders and academics at the New York University Stern School of Business. . #climatechange #climate #ClimateAction #UN #UNFCCC #antonioguterres #SDGs #sustainable #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #Goal13

#Regram #RG @nrdc_org: The Paris climate accord is a global commitment that 195 nations approved to combat climate change. Withdrawing the United States would be a foolish and reckless mistake. The following is a statement by @RheaSuh, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council: ? ? ? “If true, this is a reckless and foolish mistake, and our kids will pay the price. The Paris climate accord is a triumph of American leadership. It’s about doing what’s best for our people at home—spurring clean energy innovation and creating millions of good-paying jobs, while protecting our children and communities from pollution. And we got the whole world to join us. ? ? ? “Trump would be walking away from that American victory, abandoning U.S. climate and clean energy leadership and breaking our promise to the rest of the world. Foreign leaders would remember that the next time we need their cooperation on what’s important to us. ? ? ? "This is not putting America first: It’s putting fossil fuel profits ahead of the national interest. We have a right to demand better from our president and to fight for our children’s future.” ____ #climate #ParisAgreement #climatechange #globalwarming #environment #nrdc #news #America #leadership
