🚨In 2010 a 7.0 magnitude #earthquake in #Haiti killed 222,000 people and left millions homeless.
But in 2012 just 2 people died when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Costa Rica.
❓Why? ➡️ Strict building codes.
Resilient infrastructure saves lives.

In coming together for #COP28, the mood music for their relationship has changed. Working closely, they have the opportunity to accelerate progress and build momentum for a global just transition.

RT @Dlashof: Without a plan to phase out fossil fuel production US climate policy is like the sound of one hand clapping.

The US has taken strong #ClimateAction in recent years, but it continues to expand #FossilFuel production and is on track to drill for more oil & gas in 2030 than any time in history.

🌳#TheRestorationInitiative, a #forestandlandscaperestoration program led by @IUCN, @UNEP and @FAO in 9 countries, is positively impacting the lives of beneficiaries and communities in #GuineaBissau. #TheRestorationInitiative in Guinea-Bissau is working to restore and protect mangrove ecosystems – among the most productive and threatened ecosystems in the world.
Found in the intertidal zones of coastlines, mangrove ecosystems are dominated by mangrove trees or shrubs, which are well-adapted to living in such salty environments.

Watch 🎞 how the project is impacting beneficiaries in #GuineaBissau. #GenerationRestoration #COP28 #Cop28Dubai @thegef
